Moving forward from AG's next, and final, update to OC 0.6.5, if you want to update your own config.plist then you can use THIS tool to list changes that you need to make to your config file. You just drag your current config file and the new sample.plist file when asked at the appropriate place in the running terminal window. The tool will then list any new fields you need to add or remove or change in your config. Very simple to use and it makes sure you don't miss anything.

If it's stable, can you share your config.plist (just like AG did, with removal of the serial and mobo numbers of course)?

 

Cheers!

OC 0.6.5 has now been released. I use the internal Bluetooth and Wifi and a few other mods to my config.plist (quad booting Catalina, Big Sur, Windows and Linux Mint) so mine isn't applicable to most on here.

@Locked Down Are you using the Intel internal card or did you swap it out? 
if your using the Intel drivers then are they not driving you abit mad?

I got them working as best as they can do on a few different boards now and it works but it’s covered with issues, I tried to put up with it and all its silly quirks but in the end I gave up on it for now. Too slow, very unforgiving if your flicking around from OS to OS and not everything that should work via Bluetooth does work. My wireless MX Master 2 mouse will not connect via it no mater what I do or try including clean boots and different systems. 
Oh and I can’t stand the fact the kext package is so huge in size...what the hell is that all about? :hysterical:

 

P.s I hope you had a good xmas and new year :)

I have wired lan for internet etc and just use the bluetooth and wifi combo for unlocking with Apple Watch. Just for that it isn't really necessary to purchase another card. They may be cheapish but no point really in my case and I use wired mouse and keyboard.

Yeah that was my theory too but my wireless mouse refusing to connect to it was the point where I got frustrated and gave up...lol

im wired too but have a lot of Bluetooth devices. It’s a shame really cos I would prefer to use it then not. 
oh well.

In fairness the drivers have come along way compared to how they used to be, maybe one day they will nail it. (Fingers crossed)

I felt bad to leave it on 0.6.5 when 0.6.6 was such a major update.

There will come a time where OC becomes to different for me to safely continue rolling out the EFIs for the pro and master without a ton of testing. I do what I can when I can. LOCKDOWN BOREDOM!

Hi, would it be hard to switch from the Aorus Z390 Master to a "lower" version of the MB?
I still have the Bios issues, and I don't know if it is the Motherboard or the CPU. I asked Gigabyte for a replacement but I don't know if I will get one, plus it looks like the z390 master is not available anymore.

As I highly appreciate the work Audiogod is doing I would like to stick with the same hardware, especially as MacOS and Windows is running totally fine with the hardware.

Denedim sonuç aynı daha önceleri sorunsuz yükleme yapabiliyordum sonra diskleri silmiştim windowsa geçtim ve BIOS güncellemeden sonra bu sorunla karşılaştım.
Tekrar yukleme ekranina dusuyor.
Kurulum ekranına kadar sistem Boot ediyor fakat diski seçip yüklemeye geldiğim zaman olmuyor diskte sanki bir bloke varmış gibi yükleme yapmıyor.

Hi.
After downloading the image of Claus on the link and burning it to USB, I replaced my EFI folder with the appropriate one for my system. I did my BIOS settings as well, but I could not boot from USB and proceed to the setup phase. Where am I doing wrong?

@seha39, don't use somebody else's image, you don't know what it really is. Download macOS from Apple yourself and use that, you then know that has not been interfered with. If you don't have a Mac to download it use gibMacos.

 

How did you create the installer on the USB stick?

 

Is your EFI folder in the EFI partition on your USB stick? It has to be in the correct place. Have you pressed F12 at boot up and booted from the USB stick?
