Success With same Mobo / Cpu / iGPU / RX560 on CATALINA 10.15.3 and OpenCore 0.5.4
Based on @ backwardmac's OC config file,
1. I fixed the power management issue
2. Removed unnecessary DSDT hotpatch files
3. Custom usb uses kext loading method, I think it may be helpful for USB sleep
4. Use setup_var to unlock CFG-lock in the BIOS, all the settings are removed
5.smbios select imac19,1 and only need to set three serialnumber when setting auto quirks
Now USB, sleep is normal. details as following:
-Bios F14a
-Native NVRAM Supports
-Audio Working
-USB 3 working
-Sleep / Wake Working
-iMessage working
-Use AMD RX560 as the main graphics card, and UHD 630 accelerated
-SideCar enable
-Night shift enable
If you want to use this config,don't forget to generate a new Serialnumber in config.plist / smbios,
If CFG-lock is not unlocked, please open kernel / quirks related settings,
And re-customize USB.
You can also contact me if you have a questions.
Thank you everyone

Hi arnehuo, nice work!

Can you explain me some thing to understand?
1 - I saw the USBpower.kext. but I saw you also use ssd-UIAC, is it mandatory? I think you made the USB Mapping two times, one with kext and an other with my ssdt UIAC write?
What do you mean by "custom usb uses kext"
2 - for the unnecessary DSDT hot patch, I found it necessary as explain few days ago on a open core page not here anymore (OC moving a lot). so maybe these are integrated with new OC.
Just to be sure, in IOREG, if your are not able to see MEM2 device or MCHC then you need them. it's not mandatory, but it makes your hack more Apple friendly
3 - Did tou correct the PowerManagment with the SSDT-PM.aml? what does PPMC and PMCR device do?
And for the 5,1 SMBIOS, it's a trick where I "merge" iMac and MacPro SMBIOS to have the Mac recognize as MacPro in bonjour or system profiler but have benefit of the UHD accelerated. maybe causing the power management issue.

Thanks for your answer..

Hi, backwardmac.Sorry, I just saw your message!

1. I disabled the Ssdt-UIAC.aml file in the configuration, "custom USB uses next" means only the kext files generated by hackintool are used.

2. Maybe it makes your hack more Apple friendly as you said. However, it is not necessary in the new Intel platform, so it is removed.

3. Ssdt-pm.aml is PPMC lpcb-pmcr. Ssdt-plug-xcpm.aml is kernel power management. Ssdt-pmc.aml is NVRAM PMC. I use the GUI configuration tool like "OCC", so it's more convenient. I wrote these comments in the configuration file.

I chose imac19,1 SMBIOS because I mainly used istandalone graphics card. As for SMBIOS, I used another method to set it, because I didn't understand the other parameters, so I chose the auto option。

Thanks for your consistent attention.

Hello guys! Still running this great hackintosh with no problems so far, but now i would like to upgrade from the UHD 630 to RX 5700 XT. The problem is that i can't really find anywhere some tutorial or steps on how to do it, because i suppose it is not plug&play. Do you guys have any ideea on how to do it? I updated to 10.15.4 already. Thank you!
 
Has anyone with this motherboard and CPU been able to upgrade to 10.15.5?

My EFI configuration here works great with 10.15.4, but can't seem to upgrade to 10.15.5 using System Preferences > Software Update.

Hi there.

Explain what happens...

Does it install, tell you to reboot and then fail?

Does the installer not run?

Do you just get a blank screen?

Etc., etc.

:)
 
Sorry for the ambiguity, the System Preferences says it needs to restart. Usually after I click the restart button, an extra boot option will appear in Clover. But it doesn't appear now, I can only go back to my usual boot where the System Preferences will again tell me that there's an update.

So far, I've tried:

From your description it sounds as though the updater doesn't find the file archive it needs when you select the option from Clover. The first part of the install is to copy necessary files over to a temporary location on the main drive.

Your build has a couple of Windows disks present. The 1TB one has it's own EFI folder. My guess is the extracted files for the update are being stored in the wrong place, by mistake. The installer can't find them and reverts to the previous version. Given the Windows drive should be in NTFS format, this seems an unlikely scenario, but something is causing the problem ...

So, I would disconnect the Windows drives (120GB and 1TB) and try the update again.

:)
 
Thanks for the trouble. Yes I have 3 drives connected at all times:
  1. 250GB for macOS (APFS).
  2. 120GB for Windows (NTFS).
  3. 1TB non-bootable disk, just straight up personal files accessible to both OS (ExFAT).
What confuses me the most is that the 3rd drive has its own EFI folder. I have attached the EFI folder in question, and I can't decide whether or not it is important. If not, how do I get rid of it?

I'm having the same problem and I have the same motherboard. Hmm...Select update from Software update and its the same thing, no choice to select the update boot option. Downloaded the stand alone, same thing. I do have a secondary drive installed that has a vanilla 10.15.4 version for testing. Going to try that and see what happens.
