It would seem that native NVRAM doesn't work with Clover, then...

I don't understand. You've linked me to Clover builds? I'm interested in knowing if anyone has a working EFI folder with native NVRAM for the Z390 Designare. Basically I'm new to Hackintoshing and just want a simple guide to follow, like the Catalina Mini-Guide, but if there's the possibility of the guide being updated with native NVRAM, I'd rather hold off until the guide is updated with that.

I have hardware nvram fully working using clover. I just added SSDT-PMC.aml in patched ACPI folder, removed EmuVariableUefi-64 from drivers, removed nvram.plist from EFI partition, and removed clover rc scripts.

Variable persistence between reboots is working, clover remembers last boot drive, and changing startup volume from system preferences is working good.

I'm using latest F9b bios as well and didn't try this on earlier versions.

That sounds fantastic! Would you be willing to share your EFI folder with serial numbers removed?

Could you post your efi please.

Of course, give me an hour.

Hi all,

i have a nooby question but after whole two days of unsucessful trials I will need your help. So, my friend wanted to build a hackintosh since he is a long time Apple user. We went thorugh the forum guides and selected the components which are the following:

- Intel i7 9700K
- Gigabyte Z390 Designare
- Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+
- Corsair Vengeance Lpx 3200 MHz 32GB (2×16GB)
- Samsung 970 Evo 1TB
- Adata XPG 8200 Pro 1TB (For Windows)

i have put the components together yesterday and everything is working OK, BIOS version on the motherboard is F9. We have followed the guide in the opening post, set up the BIOS, prepared the USB drive. When we boot the Clover Install Catalina option some text lines appear for a minute or so, there are some errors such as location doesn't exist etc... I have searched the internet, tried different EFi configurations, different Clover Configurator settings, because each tutorial has very different settings for the same motherboard. When trying out outher EFI configurations, prepared by other users on the internet, I normally get the error "Error allocating 0x11c7f pages at......".

Can someone please point me to the right direction where to start from scratch since nothing seems to be working. I think that our Clover Configuration is not OK and want to set it up properly and try again. I can provide further details if someone is willing to help us at our first build.

Thanks in advance!

Clover can "make up" for those motherboards that don't save NVRAM information between boots. You don't need to do the EFI dance. So once you install macOS, run the reference Clover installer and your NVRAM will be preserved across boots.

Here's my EFI partition. This requires unlocked MSR register and it has some differences from the one in the mini guide regarding DSDT patches, so please backup before trying it.

We just need to use SSDTs that invoke ACPIDebug methods such as RMDT.P1, RMDT.P2, etc. This is done by the Thunderbolt SSDT that we're testing.

Yes, I know this part.
But I don't know where to see the log. ¿console? ¿Terminal command?
