Sounds good! Can you perhaps share your EFI? I'm still in doubt if I will procure this motherboard or another one.

Hey,

EFI came from here

I can't even get the install screen to come up.

I had success with the same hardware and since the author of the post didn't upload the EFI folder, I'm uploading mine (with the required boot flags)

The only change I made before uploading was to generate new serial numbers to avoid duplications.

I tried this but I get stuck at com.apple.filesystems.apfs with the usual no entry sign.

I generated new serials, no luck. I kept the original BOOT folder with the newer Clover, no luck. I've had actually no luck with this Mobo at all. Tried it even with no video card. My previous builds were never this much trouble. Any help would be appreciated

Bro, this EFI worked for me.

Bro, this EFI worked for me.

I got some USB patches from this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/asus-rog-strix-z390-e-gaming-ssdt-usb-ports.281710/ , dropped them in and presto!

Thank you buda_sk8! Your EFI folder worked like a charm. I have been working on this one for 3 days, with no success. Really appreciate you sharing to help others.

Could you please share your BIOS settings here?

Not really sure how to edit the serial #, can anybody show me how to that? Thanks!

Easy-peasy. Why do you need to change your serial-number?

 

[nib01]

Because that's what people are doing change the serial # to avoid duplicate if you want to use the EFI on this thread.
