Hi @AudioGodCould you please clarify the meaning of "never had an EFI on it"? I just remove MemoryAllocation.efi from EFI folder and add slide=0 argument in clover boot args and system boots fine as before without BIOS reset. Should I still need to reset my F12d BIOS(MSR unlocked) to avoid any potential problems in future?


the driver MA.EFI leaves traces of itself in the reserved memory allocation layer and the only way to truly clear it out for good is to do a battery bios reset or reflash the bios. Anything else won’t fully clear it out properly and could cause problems X amount of time later.

Thanks a lot for your clarification @AudioGod. Could you please clarify some more questions:

1. In your original post you mentioned that NVRAM emulation is no more required, so I removed EmuVariable.efi and Clover RC scripts. I see that NVRAM still working(Clover remember last selected boot drive, opened application windows are restored after reboot/shutdown etc). The question is: where it stores NVRAM now? In the reserved memory allocation layer you mentioned? Also I observe some strange issue: if I check/uncheck "restore windows" checkbox before shutdown the system reboots instead of shutdown and during first boot I got message that system was recovered from error. All subsequent reboot/shutdown operations are fine until I again trigger "restore windows" checkbox. Also with unchecked "restore windows" checkbox some times system still restores opened windows after reboot. May be it is related somehow with MA.EFI? I don't tried to reflash the BIOS yet.

2. In your latest EFI I see KernelPM fix is enabled. Does it still needed even with unlocked MSR? I tried to set KernelPM fix back to disabled and system boots fine.

3. After updating to F12d BIOS I got very low resolution(1024x768 or even 800x600, don't quite sure but it is really very low) in Clover boot screen and macOS early boot screen. I have CSM support disabled in BIOS(I know that enabled CSM support can cause such issue) as you suggested. Also tried to set screen resolution in Clover config but it don't give any effect. Do you know how to fix this issue?

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

@AlexeyNikitin do exactly as @texem just said but more importantly goto page one of my thread and every question you have just asked has a Answer in my guide tips. 
But to answer to your questions anyway bud,

1. NVram is stored natively like it should be
2. I set kernal PM to true because some people don’t want to unlock there MSR And this way somebody with a locked MSR will be able to boot in with no trouble and the people with a unlocked MSR can just uncheck it again with no trouble,

3. Do what Texem Said to do :thumbsup_anim:

You'd likely have those on a real Mac as well. That has nothing to do with how the EFI is setup and everything to do with your external drives and how their firmware handles power loss. Most handle it like ass. Lacie, WD, they are all a hot mess.

Yes this is what I've come to discover. This is a universal issue.

Do you have plans for update HD630 EFI without external GPU?

Have a look on page one bud, there’s a Efi already for that just remove the driver MemoryAllocation.efi from the UEFI folder before you use it,

 

I will update it later though but there’s not much else to do other then the above and a few minor driver updates.

Does the new EFI still support iMessage? I was under the impression some type of memory efi is needed for it to work?

 

Also I figured out why your EFI folder wasn't working.. I vertically mounted my GPU and had it plugged into the bottom PCI port, not realizing the two bottom ports are NOT PCIx16 lanes... So plugging it into the top one did the trick immediately.

Yup everything works as per normal including all iCloud services.

Play with pmset disksleep. Man pmset for details. But setting disksleep will prevent external drives from sleeping.

EDIT: After a few restarts it's all working now!

 

Awesome! 

Everything seems to be up and running great with the exception of continuity? Handoff works but fine but air play, side car and if right click on the desktop and click import do not work. For both the latter, I will eventually get an error that that says the "device timed out".  I saw that you had side car working from the front page and was just wondering if there was anything in particular you had to finagle, or a thread I could look through.

Hiya,

 

I'll look at my DSDT later as I'll have to research it. I come back yet again with FV-T919 issues, since upgrading to OC my wifi is extremely slow, almost a quarter of what my internet speed is. Also sidecar doesn't work. AirportBrcmFixup reduces my WIFI and BT performance further. Any ideas? I wonder if its a issue with the card itself. 

 

Thanks

One question:

 

Since the latest Clover EFIs use OcQuirks and FwRuntimeServices, is the slide=0 boot argument needed?


good question, on my Z390 Master I don’t need it no.

i put it in there on the Z390 pro more to be on the safe side but by all means try removing it and if it works and can pass X amount or restarts on a cycle then it’s good to go.

X=Whatever you think is enough restarts or cold boots to satisfy yourself really. 
for me X=50 but for system stress professional @larabee It’s more like 100.

Is it working normal in clover but slow in OC and is this NDKs version of OC or the vanilla version?


the T919 is a funny old card, I have one sitting here on my shelf and it’s range is really bad but in fairness if you get better antennas for it then your see a marked improvement in performance.
Im personally not a fan of it but many people on this thread use one and swear by them. 
I agree that it’s not fully compatible out of the box like it’s claimed to be but again many people disagree with me and have it working perfectly with no extra kexts. 

It’s also been noted by @WizeMan that it works much better for him if he’s got he’s MSR Locked.

@WizeMan where do you stand on your one now days?


oh and one other thing, there are a load of rouge versions of this card (knock offs, Chinese copies) floating around on eBay and a few other places so I always advise to get one though somewhere like amazon where the chances of getting a rouge one are a lot smaller.

Update -

 

WiFi seems to be working again sorta, My iPhone gets 39Mbps down, my iPad gets 80+Mbps down, my hack gets 35-45Mbps down, I was getting <10Mbps this morning, however side car gives me a black screen on my iPad with error " ...-455..." 

I did get it from Aliexpress but from Fenvi, should I look at getting a Mac card with a adapter, if so what card do you suggest?

 

Edit - Think it's the same in clover, I know I did get 70+ at one point

I bought the T919 from Amazon the other week. Worked out the box, no kexts or tweaks, no performance issues, range seems fine to me. Handoff, airdrop, unlock with watch, sidecar all work without issue. I have no complaints with it.

the one I have never got to work is unlock the lock screen with my watch. Something about where I live and the noise around me that makes it just not work.

ive tried to get it going on various setups including my own and different cards including your one but have never succeeded to get it to unlock my hack. It can everything else it’s meant to like approve installs but not that. It’s very annoying and I gave up a while ago now or I would of gone crazy...lol
