I still get Stuck at this exact screen even though I have the exact settings as described in the guide. IMG_2778.HEIC Excuse me for asking, but with what kind of cable do you connect your Hackintosh to your Monitor?

Black0ut3075 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Still no progress. I just had the Idea to plug a cable in to every single video output on my Hackintosh. but I would have to go find a DVI-D cable so that might take some time. Any other advice?

glasgood Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 @Black0ut3075 I tested pre-install EFI ( below ), and it is working. Have included nvram.plist, not sure it will make difference. Archive.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from an early EFI from a while back, it may work with 10.14.2.2. If it does work you can then download 10.14.5 and recreate installer using pre-install EFI from guide and install latest macOS Mojave 10.14.5 CLOVER.zip Edited July 16, 2019 by glasgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmacUSAF Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 My USB 3.0 ports aren't being recognized, so I cannot map properly. Hackintool only shows HS Ports. The only SS port I can see is SS01. Am I missing something in my BIOS? A .kext maybe? Gigabyte z390 Aorus Pro Wifi mini ITX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soniferous_fox Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi. Been running fine for a few weeks now, but every couple of days, for some reason the Bluetooth just turns off and I cannot turn it back on; a reboot sorts it. Have you come across that at all? I am using one of the recommended combo cards. Didn't't happen for the first couple of weeks. Perhaps a fault in the card? Secondly, it's only happened twice, but I suddenly lose all power to the USB ports and have to turn off, unplug and re-plug all USB and then stat up again. As I say, only nice in a few weeks, but again wondered if that is something you had come across? I have done the port mapping and all work fine.

JmacUSAF Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 That guide was the one I was following but after getting passed the HS exclusion step I can't move on to SS because they are not there. I just made sure that my config.plist file was following your guide as per the picture at the top, however, I did just delete the patches in the Kernel and Kext patches section of config.plist and removed the fake Pcii-kext i installed using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] as I felt it didn't do anything.

Neek Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Played around with my EFI on Monday after updating BIOS to F10. Unlocked E2, no problems. Decided to try replacing OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi with AptioMemoryFix.efi (from Acidanthera) And guess what? It works. Reliably. From cold boot. From warm boot. After booting Windows. Before, with all other memory drivers it would not boot past Clover. Some changes I'm running that are potentially different from glasgood's config: Bios F10 E2 unlocked BIOS → CSM Support → disabled Chipset → Vt-d → enabled Peripherals → USB Configuration → XHCI Hand-off → disabled MIT → Advanced Memory Settings → Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P) → enabled I have two PCI cards in addition to GPU- Sonnet 10gig Aquantia and a BCM943602CS via adapter. Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 Changed some of the Device mappings in config.plist Other things that have changed since I last tried other memory drivers Clover r5018 all memory lots populated- 32 gig total running two NVMe drives. Also have BD-Writer and SATA backup drive attached. Also works without backup drive connected. I've attached my EFI if other brave souls want to play around with this.
