[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

On the internal SSD, the EFI drivers belong in CLOVER/drivers/UEFI. Most of the drivers were already there, but the old legacy drivers64UEFI folder was still present. I've removed that folder and also added SMCHelper.efi.

Please try the attached CLOVER folder from internal SSD.

Yay! IT WORKS!

So now what should we check? lol

Also, should it look like this when shutting down?

@CaseySJ, if I do a similar build again, but use a USB Wi-Fi dongle instead (because using ITX board), what would you recommend to keep Airdrop enabled? Looking at ASUS USB-AC53...

That model does not seem to support macOS, but here are two that do:

• Single high-gain antenna
• Dual antennas
• No antenna

I would personally choose one with at least one high-gain antenna. Amazon has other choices as well if you enter this search phrase: USB WiFi macOS

This might be okay. Let's remove the -v option from config.plist (in EFI partition of Mojave SSD) and reboot. Then test the system for reliability and make a full bootable backup:

• Mojave bootable backup instructions.
• Catalina bootable backup instructions.

Some things to check:

• Sleep / wake.
• Run Hackintool and see whether VGA Decoder is supported. It will say so right in the opening screen, towards the bottom.
• Log in to iCloud then test if you can log into Messages and FaceTime.
• See if Mac App Store works and you can access your purchase history.
• Check iTunes/Music app
• See if you can play movies in iTunes/TV app.

Please compress and upload the CLOVER folder from EFI partition of your Mojave SSD. You may remove serial numbers from SMBIOS section of config.plist.

Here is my Clover folder.

Here is my Clover folder.

Notice below that your EFI folder contains two sets of drivers:

• The new drivers/UEFI folder in red
• The old drivers64UEFI folder in blue

Please delete entire BLUE folder (drivers64UEFI), empty the trash, and reboot. Does it help?

Is anyone having issues with network connectivity? Since the last Catalina update my network connectivity on the motherboard will just stop working. I have an additional NIC that still works, it's just the internal connections.

Just removed -v and booted fine.

Sleep is weird. Once it gave a screen that looks like snow on an old tube TV and I was forced to restart, but now when I try it again it works fine.

iMessage seems to be working fine as well as iCloud.
App Store works and purchases history works as well.

Music, Apple TV, and Podcasts will not accept my apple ID (triple checked with each app that I am using the same info for iMessage and iCloud)

EDIT - this question no longer applies as djx8605 provided a direct link - Do you happen to have a direct link to Hackintool? Don't want to risk downloading the wrong app and having malicious files on the computer.

Unfortunately not. Same issue. The system partition still boots normally.
