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

"Double Post, Double Cycle Boot issue"

I have almost same system config as this guide..
Z390 Designare
i9-9900K
Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8GB
Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB 3200MHz.

I followed this guide & got my system running with Mojave properly..

But I'm facing Double Cycle Boot (double post) issue... [Cold Boot->Power On->Power Off->Power On->Booting into OS]

Tried Re flashing bios, Windows OS with default BIOS settings, without GPU, Different RAM.. Same results..

Someone please help me out...

On a cold boot that is 100% normal!

What's the benefit of using OcQuirks.efi + OcQuirks.plist + FwRuntimeServices.efi?

This is the latest version and is configurable via the plist file. As new booter quirks are added to FwRuntimeServices we can simply update the plist file instead of creating a custom-compiled version. OcQuirks-4 is custom-compiled with a set of hard coded quirk settings.

Hi,

it's my first post here, I have built an Hackintosh who works almost like a charm since December ’19 by following the step-by-step in this thread. Thanks a lot for this awesome work ! Specs are :

Gigabyte Z390 Designare - i9-9900K
SAPPHIRE Pulse Radeon RX 5700 8Go
Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 1To
Corsair VENGEANCE® LPX 32 Go (2 x 16 Go) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C18
(on a Fractal Design R6, running Catalina 10.15.3)

Last week I did some changes to activate NVRAM native (I forgot the link in this thread, I'll try to found it again), since then sound seems weird:
after 1 minute and 4 seconds of playing sound (youtube, video in VLC, mp3 in Music, …) cuts appear.
Headphone or speakers used aren't guilty, I used on another computer without problems. Plug in to the jack of front panel of my case or in the green jack from the motherboard, behind the case (not sure if it's really green, I'm colorblinded) leads to the same cuts in sound.

I used the layout ID 11 for sound since I built the hack because sounds had crackles, volume changes

Has anyone ever had this problem before?

I'm using the mini guide. Bootable USB is not recognized when booting. Will try another dongle. Thanks for the help.

If you are still experiencing problems after going through the guide, just let us know.

Hello @HooGs,

Welcome to the forum! I have not heard of this problem before, but are you sure that this problem is due to native NVRAM? One option is to clear NVRAM:

• At the Clover Boot Menu, press F1 for help.
• One of the options is to clear NVRAM. Select that option.
• Then boot into macOS and check audio.

I didn't notice when it really started so it's pure speculation from me because activate native NVRAM was the last thing I've added on my hack and sound worked before.

I'll try to clear NVRAM tonight, thanks for your help!

This is the latest version and is configurable via the plist file. As new booter quirks are added to FwRuntimeServices we can simply update the plist file instead of creating a custom-compiled version. OcQuirks-4 is custom-compiled with a set of hard coded quirk settings.

So everything but the .plist is already fixed and not updated anymore until a future version 2?

FwRuntimeServices will continue to evolve alongside OpenCore. The other two files simply configure FwRuntimeServices and they too will evolve as new features are added to FwRuntimeServices.

Recall that I compiled OcQuirks-4.efi by downloading the source code, configuring booter quirks, and building it on my Hackintosh. I don't have to do this any longer because latest OcQuirks can be configured simply by specifying booter quirks in OcQuirks.plist.

Hello Ploddles,

Thank you for responding. Actually, yes I did that at the time I updated Clover to 5.1.0.3. See attached files with the content after using the mini guide. But since I had a working configuration and I only wanted to change over to the quirkfiles and native NVRAM I only used the guide partly by using the files. That was how I got VirtualSMC.kext and .efi in the system, but in /L/E I still had the FakeSMC.kext and the Fake sensors kext. Just about 10 minutes ago I found out how to download SMCHelper, so for now I have everything based on Fake not VirtualSMC, see attached file for current content.

I get the same data through in HWMonitor and HWMonitorSMC2.

So as you might have read, I would like change over to VirtualSMC but for some reason I get stuck and it takes always quite some time to get an image restored.

When you look at the content, do you see something odd?

Best regards

Hi @HH007,

That looks exactly like mine, which is running fine. You didn't post a screenshot of your ACPI/Patched folder but you do need to add the SSDT for NVRAM as well if you haven't done that already.

There is no need to restore an image at all. Just create a bootable USB drive with a copy of your normal EFI contents, then tinker with that by copying the new kexts, efi, aml files etc. Just press F12 at boot time and select the USB drive. If it doesn't work then just boot from your normal drive and you are back to how you were, when you can tinker some more until you have it working. When all working just copy the EFI from the USB across to your normal boot drive.

Have you tried out any of the newer builds?
