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

I haven't added the SSDT patch yet, or the Bluetooth or WLAN driver. Do you install those using Hackintool?

The SSDT patch is copied and pasted into the EFI\ACPI\patched folder. Mount the EFI partition using clover configurator for simplicity. The kexts for the 1560 go into EFI\Clover\Kexts\Other using the same method. Reboot for any of it to take effect.

Edit: I think those kexts are already included in Modmikes EFI folders.

#update

Today I successfully upgraded from MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 to MacOS Catalina 10.15.2. The only problem I had was Bluetooth not working correctly. I am using Dell DW1560 card which needs BrcmPatchRAM driver for Bluetooth to work. I did some investigation on this matter and found out that Catalina broke BrcmPatchRAM2.kext because of unresolved symbol errors. Luckily BrcmPatchRAM3.kext is available and will work in Catalina. Now everything is working correctly with, so far, zero issues. I attached my EFI folder if somebody is interested. Happy hacking!

The DW1560 is definitely best non-mod option for wireless/bluetooth.

I went for the MacBook original module (with adapter), works like charm now I got the 3rd antenna fixed. Needed to mod the heatsink to fit it, though.

I think if I still had this board I might do something similar although I did have 1560 card working perfectly at the time.

@ModMike, thanks for all the hard work on the guide. I have to admit that I am having a difficult time trying to make this work.

I have the following gear:

• Asus Z390-I Gaming
• Intel i9-9900K
• 64GB Corsair Vengeance (Only 1 stick plugging in for 32GB RAM)
• 2TB SSD (SATA not M2)
• Sapphire 5700XT
• 1560 wireless card.

I have updated the BIOS and made all the changes listed in the original guide. I have tried Mojave and Catalina both just stall at the Apple logo. I have started to read through all of the threads but with there being 290+ pages it was a bit overwhelming.

I've installed the DW1560 card, attached antennas, etc. but neither Bluetooth or Wifi are available after restart. I bought the card from the vendor referenced in the post and the markings on the card look the same. So far, I've replaced the BcrmBluetoothinjector.kext in the original EFI with the one attached to the original post. Per @antiserum420's post above, I also tried swapping out BcrmPatchRAM2.kext for BcrmPatchRAM3.kext (even though I'm on Mojave 10.14.6. Ideas?

@jrhopkins Still a complete noob here, but I learned that adding some boot flags may help. The first thing to try is -v. Which will enable verbose output during the startup process. You can then see whatever the error is when it blows up. Next I used the following flags, recommended by another user: -v -x -s -no-zp . Running those enabled me to boot the system for the first time. It may not be an issue, but I'm wondering if the RAM in this system should be run in pairs... Anyway, I hope you get it sorted. It's pretty sweet when it finally works!

@GawainR I have tried the -v option and even tried adding the others (-v -x -s -no -zp) but it hangs at the same place no matter who's EFI folder I try. I have tried the EFI folder for catalina by @ModMike and @antiserum420.

OsxAptioFix2Drv: Starting overrides for \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi

As soon as it leaves clover to run the install both my mouse and keyboard lights turn off and if I press the Num Lock key nothing happens.

USB installer was made using

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --nointeraction

Then using clover mounting the EFI partition and coping the contents of either @ModMike or @antiserum420 EFI folder over to it.

I did notice that a few pages back @negatv specs look to be roughly the same as mine; if he wouldn't mind uploading his EFI folder I would love to give it a try.

Should the DW1560 "just work" once installed, assuming the kexts and EFI were set up according to @ModMike's instructions? The card doesn't seem to be recognized at all.

I cannot get my system to stay asleep! It will always go to sleep but then will wake automatically within a few seconds??!

I have been running my Hackintosh fine for a while now just using a USB WiFi and Bluetooth dongle. I saw your post and immediately purchased and installed a DW1560 card and have used the clover setup (which was better than mine), kexts and DSDT/SSDT files from this build.

I'm pretty sure its something to do with the Broadcom Bluetooth on the USB bus. As before I finished my setup, I had the wifi working, and no Bluetooth available. It went into sleep and stayed asleep every time.

Any help would really be appreciated.
