I come to the point: I followed this guide step by step, but without the desired result. I can't even install mac os. everything crashes as soon as the white apple appears ...... I'm sure I created the bootable usb well with mojave v.10.14.4 (from mojave 10.14.2 on vmware) .... I kindly ask for your help hardware: gigabyte aorus z390 pro wifi intel core i7 8700k Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8gb 16gb corsair vengance lpx (2x8) SSD Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 500 GB (windows 10 pro) ssd samsung 840 pro 120gb (for mac os) I started also in verbose mode, I attach photos, if you need anything else, tell me. I repeat, I don't know mac os, please help me ..... maybe even with simple explanations ..... Thanks in advance Hi, Lots of ACPI errors, check BIOS settings correct and BIOS version is F5. Remove DSDT from CLOVER / ACPI / PATCHED. Also temporarily disconnect your 970 Evo Plus and ensure that you have corsair memory installed in slots DDR4_A1 and DDR4_B1 . Then start boot from Mojave USB installer, ensure that installer is connected to the USB 2 ports. When you have successfully installed macOS Mojave then reconnect your 970 Evo Plus. There seems to be some issues with Samsung 970 Evo Plus causing kernel panics when used with a hackintosh computer.

Then install macOS Mojave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cla974 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Peripherals → Intel (R) Bios Guard → Intel BIOS Guard Support → Disable. I can't find this option, is this: software guard extensions (SGX)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensure BIOS Chipset --> Above 4G Decoding is Disabled. I discovered that 4G Decoding Enabled can cause problems during installation if you don't have DSDT. You should now be able to install macOS Mojave 10.14.4 without any problems. Once you have installed macOS Mojave 10.14.4, then use the (Aorus Z390 Pro EFI - NO DSDT) EFI folder and copy it to your system drive EFI partition.

Howdy Just updating guide with a pre install EFI folder. I noticed that when BIOS Above 4G Decoding is Enabled it causes bad problem with last 2 mins of Mojave install and other problems with shutdown and kernel panics. But with 4G Decoding Disabled then everything is good. But when using DSDT with BIOS Above 4G Decoding Enabled there is no problem, everything good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Nicholson Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Hiya, I have two issue and was wondering if you knew how to fix them. Problem 1 - When my hack goes to sleep my webcam turns off and wont turn back on unless I quit and re-open FaceTime. Problem 2 - When my hack wakes my on-board audio doesn't work, I am mainly worried about my mic input. Any help greatly appreciated.

Send me Camerons-iMac.zip Set "Reset HDA" option in clover config to true, and see if resolves issue. Will have a look at this sometime later.

Send me Camerons-iMac.zip Cameron, if you are using BIOS version F5. Change BIOS settings to match guide. Then replace patched folder in ACPI in Cover with patched.zip . I tested this and sleep and sound is playing upon wake. I made edit below to DSDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed you had extra ( unneeded ) 11 x SSDT in your ACPI folder, you only need DSDT, SSDT-UIAC, and SSDT-USBX. Also you had some boot args missing, I replaced AptioMemoryFix with OSXAptioFix2Drv-free2000 . Attached below, is my Clover folder. Replace your existing Clover folder with that. And you should be sorted. CLOVER.zip Edited April 3, 2019 by glasgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the waiting game starts for my Authentication Token to reset Don't think you need to wait for authentication token, download and paste EmuVariableUefi-64.efi into drivers64UEFI and next configure config.plist for iMessages. Then shut down computer, restart and then log into iMessages and then after successful iMessages / FaceTime login, then delete EmuVariableUefi-64.efi What happens if you unplug / replug webcam, does webcam then work ? kinda difficult getting the 100% perfect hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it is because of the lack of AptioMemoryFix-64.efi in your clover. However I am not sure why audio has started working after sleep, sometimes it doesn't, I'll play with your files if it persists. Unplugging and plugging in my webcam brings back up the frozen webcam image. The only solution I have come up with is to download a power manger app that runs the following script after wake Quote #!/bin/bash osascript -e 'tell app "/Applications/FaceTime.app" to quit' open -a "/Applications/FaceTime.app"/ exit 0; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
