the one I have never got to work is unlock 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 but not that. It’s very annoying and I gave up a while ago now or I would of gone crazy...lol
 


I had to log out of iCloud and back in to get it to work.. That was the only thing I did.

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.

BTW my MSR is locked

Things are exactly as you say. The issues with my BT start appearing when I uncheck KernelPM on Clover or when I disable the CFG Lock flags on OpenCore. Even with MSR Lock disabled on my Aorus z390 Pro if KernelPM is checked (and the flags on OpenCore set to true) I do not have any issues whatsoever. But it doesn’t make a sense having MSR Lock disabled and these flags to true so I keep my motherboard’s MSR Lock enabled.

We've discussed this before. You used the wrong command and do not have CFG Lock disabled.

What do you mean by this? I have a m.2 drive in the m.2 slot, does that mean I can’t use the bottom slot?

Check in the Z390 pro Manual for what lanes get used for what slots.

on the Z390 Master the bottom m.2 slot uses the lanes from the lowest pcie slot and the middle m.2 slot uses the lanes from sata 0 and 1

top slot if fee to use with no effect.

I don’t like to repeat myself. Stop being a know-it-all. The command was OK and in fact I’m facing the same issue with setup_var_3 AND by using @texem’s profile.

 

There’s probably something off with my motherboard OR the card.

 

Now that I’ve read what @AudioGod wrote it might also have to do with having my m.2 SSD on the bottom m.2 slot and the Fenvi on the bottom PCI-e.

Ok,  I'll check it out, thanks. I think it only uses sata

Seems to make no diff to me either this, i have pcie m.2 in the bottom m.2 slot (m2m)  and the wifi card in the x4 slot .. Works alright !

I did say check the manual for the pro as it has 2 m.2 slots that come off different lanes to the master. 
 

as you can see from the above post it losses sata ports only so for you it’s no biggie.

the masters third m.2 slot shares with the bottom pcie slot.

Yeah and it does imply it shares the x4 slot.. just seems to make no diff..

Really?

On my board if I use it with the m.2 bottom slot in use it freaks my system out and it won’t boot.

makes sense seeing it’s conflicting with what lanes it can use.

I just checked for myself and the pro uses sata 1 for m2a and 4 5 for m2m, no pcie lanes for pcie slots are affected.

I read that as sharing the lanes ..

Updated to the latest EFI folder without MA.efi, performed full battery reset and put iGPU to 32MB... But ended up getting the "error allocating boot..." error after a while. A couple of things though... I got the error right after restarting from Windows, and then the error kept happening (whereas it was fine for several boots on macOS before that). Could restarting from windows be a cause somehow, and more importantly is it normal for the error to keep happening once it appears (only got it to boot with a backup EFI including MA.efi) ?

Second link question is about disabling iGPU, which seems to be my only option left... what kind of functionality do I lose by doing that ? I seem to remember sidecar and/or x265 decoding is that correct or does everything still work with iMac 19,1 even with iGPU disabled (I don't dare ask about DRM :angel: haha... but still curious haha).

Changing to the bottom x4 slot fixed my WiFI. Still no sidecar but I don't think thats related to my BT card.

yeah confirmed, I just refitted the t919 to my hack to test but using the lowest slot instead of the 1x above it and it sure does work a lot better there.
