    Does anyone know if we'll be able to hack the new Framework customizable laptops?

    Looking forward to being able to customize laptop hardware if this company ever puts out a product and wondering if we'll be able to install mac os. Any thoughts? https://frame.work

    << Solved >> OpenCore Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 5 - 6700K (sleep problem)

    HI, I succesfully moved from clover to opencore using your EFI. However I'm having issues with dual monitor support. The DVI goes dark after about 3/5th of the apple boot sequence. I also have not been successful in getting the MSI RX580 to work. Curious if you or anyone out there could help me...

    Black screen at end of boot after 10.15.4 update

    thanks for your feedback. I got the machine to run using a new installation and opencore rather than clover using another thread. Still no dual monitor support (second monitor on DVI goes dark after about 3/5ths of the apple boot sequence) and still no RX580 (boot freezes after initial apple)...

    << Solved >> OpenCore Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 5 - 6700K (sleep problem)

    In case anyone has feedback here. Transition to Open core went great with new hd. Boot into 10.15.5 worked great 10.15.5 supplemental update worked great. However when I import programs from my old HD I immediately get stuck at the apple logo / black screen. Strange since all I'm importing are...

    @dave7 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was having endless problems with clover, going to black screen right at login window. SO I decided to try open core, but was having the same problem. I just swapped your EFI for mine and TADA!!! it booted right up. Now I have to figure out how to add my serial...

    Black screen at end of boot after 10.15.4 update

    @theruck I realized if I use these instructions to change SMBIOS and disconnect from icloud I will lose my only way to access my hackintosh, ie. the share screen option.

    Black screen at end of boot after 10.15.4 update

    Thanks for your reply. Since I can access the hack using the share screen feature, should I do this directly on the hack using clover configurator? re the ethernet, I use the onboard ethernet that comes with this board, which according to the specs is a "Killer E2201 LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)"

    Black screen at end of boot after 10.15.4 update

    Thanks for your feedback. I would love to, but sadly do not know how to figure out which are the nonsense kexts versus the no-nonsense ones. Though I have been using hacks for 10 years I don't really understand how they work. I just follow the instructions and tinker, which leads to successes...

    I have the same board and an MSI RX580 and have not yet been successful with open core. I am still running clover and am having a weird issue where the screen goes dark right after boot. I can still access it from another mac using screen sharing but cannot get the monitors working with internal...

    Black screen at end of boot after 10.15.4 update

    Update. I noticed the login screen shows up briefly before the monitor turns off. Mac is still accessible via share screen from another mac. Help?

    Black screen at end of boot after 10.15.4 update

    Hi everyone, When I upgraded to 10.15.4 my hack goes into blackscreen at the very end of the boot. The OS is running and I can log in to the screen through another mac but the local monitor is off. I believe I used to be able to address this with AGDPfix, but when I run this now I get a...

    << Solved >> Catalina Install reboot loop

    Thank you for all the help. Now works like a charm. And in the process I figured out how to remove the debug at boot. Is there a way to mark this thread as solved in the title?

    << Solved >> Catalina Install reboot loop

    THANK YOU! That totally worked. Should make this permanent y adding it to the plist? And will I need it later when I reinstall a graphics card? Here is my clover EFI. (now that I'm able to mount the EFI partition) Is there anything in there that is causing this?

    << Solved >> Catalina Install reboot loop

    I upgraded from Mojave to Catalina using the apple update. Went through the cycles of install reboots until it booted from the OS drive. Then it hangs towards the end of the boot and then reboots. I did a verbose boot and it seems to be getting stuck on the internal graphics See screen shots and...
