I think the last!! so, tested the 860 with new firmware, same problem now testing with 850 pro i read somewhere that many pp have problems with 860 like for others was ok! someone write that after upgrading sata cable all was ok.... i have all new, case too! what hd cable ‘d use?? anyway testing just now with 850 pro i’m bored but i’ll Continue!!! PS: i see a strange thing, when i format the 860 first time after upgrade firmware, it write the container “disk23”, then I format again and write “disk3”.... so I continue and got error! now with 850 pro, I see again “disk23” and now i’m installing... thats strange... a lot strange!!

SMBIOS for iMac 19,1 did not work with macOS Mojave 10.14.4 as it required a special build of macOS. Now with macOS Mojave version 10.14.5, hackintosh guide has working SMBIOS for iMac 19,1 . I feel this is a better SMBIOS for this hackintosh especially for Final Cut users. If you have updated to 10.14.5 then use Clover configurator and change to SMBIOS 19,1 As far as I known, real Mac's have less than 15 USB ports. Having more than 15 USB ports causes problems with hackintosh, hence the ports limit patch. So to keep USB port count below 15, I have disabled some USB ports. So I disabled USB 2 on the back of the hackintosh and enabled then on the front of case / chassis. My case does not have front USB C so it is not enabled on case, but it is enabled on the back of the Aurus Pro. I wrote a guide, a step by step guide on how to make your own SSDT for custom USB mapping. Link below: Thanks I will give that a go later and try and create my own USB setup. Can I send you a copy to check please once I've done it? Also one last question, I fixed the problem with it not displaying my build as a 2019 iMac and now its sorted but my cpu is a 9900k and it was showing as a i7 instead so what I did was changed the cpu type in clover too 0x1005 and now its showing as a i9 like it should. Did I do the right thing there or is there something different I should do? Thanks for your help mate, I really appreciate it.

You mention you created the installer using VM, did you download macOS Mojave from App Store ? My Hackintosh guide and EFI ( Clover version ) are confirmed working for macOS Mojave 10.14.4 and 10.14.5 ( Previous macOS Mojave versions such as 10.14.3 may cause problems with installation. I can not confirm the new, latest Clover version used in my PRE and POST install is working with older versions of Mojave and patches in config.plist ) Edited May 16, 2019 by glasgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madane Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Amazing guide! Works perfectly on my setup. One issue I had with your SSDT in the POST INSTALL zip file. In Hackintool, SS09 & SS10 are shown as Internal. I found this out when I inserted external hard drive into the port, it does not show the drive on the desktop and only in the Finder. So what I did was change from Internal to USB3. Then export and replaced the SSDT-UIAC.aml. I also copied the USBPorts.kext created to the kext folder and remove USBInjectAll.kext.

Hence why HSS10, SS10, HS09, SS09 are internal. My Samsung M3 Portable ( External ) hard drive is mounted and shown on Desktop.

blackwalker Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 ok this is the situation.... now install go on, and stay stuck at 2% then give me a message that the download is damaged or incomplete ..... now I download again the Mojave app installer...same size...creating the USB again! I think the problem is when I run the command line: "sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --nointeraction && say Mojave Drive Created" and it freeze, when I stop it something is corrupted.... the Mojave app is ok, downloaded 2 times and size and all its ok Maybe because I create the USB from Sierra? If it'll freeze again I'll move the installer on Mojave and create the USB from there!! damn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwalker Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) this is really strange, absurd, argh argh argh argh USB creation using high sierra, freeze at the end, I mean no terminal prompt but I have to stop it and I get a message that I'll stop some operation, dunno if its ok... when I install, it say the installation disk is corrupted or incomplete, at about 2% from the end USB creation using Mojave, all is fine and I get at the end the terminal prompt, but when I install at about 3% from the end, I get always the errors I show before.....

gorillabeard Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the guide, I just hope I can get it to work as well. I have a Aorus Pro Wifi, and the Zotac 2080 AMP with 3 monitors connected and Windows already installed. Can I still run Mac without losing my Windows installation? I spent a lot of time setting it up after I built this PC and Windows is on the NVMe drive which is covered by the massive graphics card so unfortunately I wont easily be able to simply disconnect the drive in order to install Mac without Windows knowing. Any chance you think this will work with my setup? Edited May 17, 2019 by gorillabeard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
