SMBIOS for iMac11,3 used with matching board-id
DSDT courtesy of @jinky, updated for El Capitan -> Sierra (Maybe High Sierra)

Everything seems to be working perfectly, Continuity, Handoff EVERYTHING!

Still having the issue with loop of sleep/wake, the DSDT used was supposed to fix this issue though it could be other settings since I do not know the Bios settings jinky used or config info.

 

DSDT_F11.zip contains the correct DSDT, the one included did not speedstep properly.

Thank you to these users for being so patient and helpful where they could:

@RehabMan

@VioletDragon

@PJALM

@MacMan

@jinky
@ anyone else I have missed from the months of trial and error, your posts helped a lot even if they were during times you were experiencing failure as well.
Thank you!

You should update FakeSMC.kext, @RehabMan has a repository located here:
https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fakesmc-kozlek/downloads/

HWMonitor is of course optional, but you should install it as well to be sure your CPU is running at the right frequencies.
If you have already installed FakeSMC.kext from the attached package, delete the old version from /System/Library/Extensions and then use Kext Utility to install the new versions.

I have had an issue in the past with kextname.bak causing kernel panics.

Version provided:
RehabMan-FakeSMC-2017-0607

All other kexts were up to date as of this post.

I can't think of anything else at the moment that isn't already in the quote box below of _Notes.rtf.

 

 

audio_cloverALC-130.command will provide the proper realtekALC.kext for audio.

During the setup provided by the command file, y to everything.

Using Kext Utility install the kexts in the folder labeled kexts.

Copy the DSDT.aml from the folder CLOVER/ACPI/patched to your CLOVER/ACPI/patched.
Copy the files from the folder CLOVER/drivers64 to your CLOVER/drivers64.
Copy the config.plist from the folder CLOVER/ to your CLOVER.

Edit the config.plist where xxx is found with your information.

You can use Terminal to generate a uuid with the command uuidgen, do this several times and at random pick two of the generated uuid’s.

Paste the first chosen into SmUUID
Paste the second chosen into Custom UUID

You should already have a Serial Number and Board Serial Number, if you do not generate a config with Clover Configurator using iMac11,3 and randomize it until you see one you like, copy it and paste it into both Serial Number and Board Serial Number.

You should also verify it does not belong to a real Mac, it should show up as invalid on the apple website.

https://checkcoverage.apple.com

If it shows as a real Mac, generate a new one.

For iMessage and FaceTime, you will have to use iMessage_debug or iMessage_debugV2 to get your ROM and MLB.

Change the Theme in GUI to match what you have or want to use, I have included my modified version of mlcamp Theme.

Some patches used like generate pstates and cstates may be overkill, but I do not care since my system is as close to 100% as it will ever get.

I made my own DSDT, but had issues… found one that works perfect with a few minor USB changes.
Modifications:
EHC1 -> UHCI
EHC2 -> EH02

DSDT modified by jinky, originally created by MacMan

Removed as per forum rules

That is all to the _Notes file, I hope you find success.

 

This may change if I find something to be in error or if someone sees a problem here that is breaking sleep.
Bios settings: in image format.

These are in order from MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.) to PC Health Status including the sub menus from top to bottom.
I did forget to snap a pic of entering Avanced BIOS Features.

I did forget to snap a pic of entering a few bios menus, annotated them with a red box.

 

Would have preferred to put these in a separate post or zip, but couldn't.

 

Edit:

Added DSDT MaLd0n made for me, I have since sold this computer and built a new one.

Thank you for your recap.

I updated a GA-P55A-UD3 Rev. 1.0 Bios F11 rig to High Sierra directly from El Capitan (skipped Sierra).

Configuration is working great. 

 

One remaining minor issue from the Snow Leopard time. DVD drive (PATA/IDE) is not recognized.

Sorry I never got a notification you posted, you might not get that recognized with these later versions of macOS... they do drop support for unused hardware.
