The everything works Asus Z390-I Gaming * i7-8700K * SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX Vega 64 Build

Hi: Thanks for the guide, I followed the instruction and found that basically all things worked well besides WiFi. After replacing the wifi card with BCM94352Z, both bluetooth and wifi will work perfectly at the beginning. Maybe for hours, the wifi suddenly can't work anymore, but bluetooth are still working.

the configuration of my PC is

z390 Asus itx strix + i7 9700k + catalina(this problem also exists before I update to catalina from mojave)

I have installed these kexts:

AirportBrcmFixup.kext
AppleALC.kext
BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext
BrcmFirmwareData.kext
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
FakeSMC.kext
IntelMausiEthernet.kext
Lilu.kext
USBInjectAll.kext
WhateverGreen.kext

Here is the detail info about the wifi

Edit: Your card is supposed to be supported according to this post. "Whatevergreenkext either needs to be disabled or removed or you can use this boot argument. agpdmod=pikera"


Thanks for the follow up, I just gave that a try and it still reboots at the same spot every time.
 
I upgraded to macOS 10.15.1. When I start the OS, I have endless loading if I use my RX 5700 XT card.

I tried updating Clover, using an argument, and even deleting a cupcake for graphics, but that doesn't help.


BIOS setup is performed according to the instructions for dGPU. How to make the RX 5700 XT work?

Maybe try and update Whatevergreen.kext, I had to use the version available on this site (or from Acidanthera’s Github) after updating to 15.1. Without it black screen, no display.

How to get an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card to run on an ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I Gaming

You need to upgrade to macOS 10.15.1 (Final) and select the assembly CATAL-DGPU-EFI.zip. After that, you need to manually update the files:

Lilu.kext version 1.3.9 or later

WhateverGreen.kext version 1.3.4 or later

Clover can not be updated to a new version (it works like that).

To make it work you need to use a modified config. I added the Graphics section there, and added the boot argument agdpmod = pikera, and left everything else as @ModMike. Do not forget to add your SMBiOS to the config. I am using iMac 19.1 (9900K).

Can you give an explanation for this statement? What version of clover are you running?
I use Clever 5082. My 4K monitor is connected via DisplayPort. I do not observe any problems. I have been using my computer for about 25 minutes. There is no flicker and no freezes either.

The Clover in EFI we are using is at the latest version though.

Well, yes, but I'm still having freezing issues and he's running basically the same mobo as me. So it's worth looking at his EFI.

I use all the files from @ModMike from the CATAL-DGPU-EFI.zip archive. I replaced only config.plist, Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext.
