If you are upgrading from Mojave to Catalina 10.15.4, the entire procedure is listed here:

Thanks. No, I wasn't upgrading from Mojave to Catalina. I was transfering my existing SSD installation with Catalina 10.15.4 to a new PC (the exact PC configuration you have). So a few weeks back I asked for how to do this, and you were kind enough to provide me the stepts. Which I followed. Then I got the text in black I showed you today.

So There I'm standing now. Do I still need to proceed with the Micro-Guide? Or should I start all over from 0 (which is fine by me, but pls let me know).

hello, yes i have see that but with my usb key and 5.07 it is same i can't boot on my internal ssd

I have installed the NDK-OpenCore-0.5.7 version, after the standard 0.5.7 one. All is perfect, but if with the standard version I've no problem to boot Windows, with the NDK-OpenCore-0.5.7 version when I select the Windows icon Windows 10 won't boot , even if I prefer this version (with icons) Cannot use it for this reason... Do you know this issue ?

Please try adding EnableForAll as shown into your OpenCore config.plist. Somehow these entries got removed (probably by OpenCore Configurator). I've posted a revised ZIP file with these parameters included.

Try setting EnableForAll to both false and true. I'm not sure which one will allow Windows to boot.

A "few weeks" is an eternity for me because of the volume of posts on this thread. I can probably only remember up to two days back.

A properly configured EFI folder should be all that is needed. You can give it another try by creating a brand new USB boot disk by following selected portions of the Catalina 10.15.4 Mini-Guide (everything in Step 1 except for the 3rd bullet), but transfer SMBIOS and RtVariables from old config.plist into new one. Also avoid Clover 5109. Stay with 5107 or 5108.

I fully understand, I wasn't trying to be a smart-ass (that's the disadvantage between typing and Video conferencing I guess ), I was just trying to sketch my situation. Thank you for all the input; I will try to follow the steps you mentioned.

Hi Everyone,

************************************************************
*** In-Place Upgrade Experience: Mojave 10.14.6 -> Catalina 10.15.4

************************************************************

First...A huge shout-out to @CaseySJ!! Without his guides and help none of the progress we've seen with the Designare Z390 could be possible.

Here are some details of the specific steps and versions of files I used for a successful migration from Mojave (10.14.6) to Catalina (10.15.4).

I have put this post together because in my efforts to get this running I ended up having to explore many threads, and I had to figure out what versions of different files to use and where to get the latest/best versions of available files (not always the ones on the guides). Note: the best resources are @CaseySJ ’s Mojave Upgrade Micro-Guide, The Catalina Mini-Guide and this experience report of an Catalina In-Place Upgrade--All of these are available at the top of @CaseySJ ’s Designare Z390 Golden Build page—The best resource for the Designer Z390. As many of these guides were written at a certain point in time, they sometimes suggest and/or attach older versions of needed files and/or combinations of files that have since changed.

The goal is that the details below provide enough info, specificity and links to the pages to use to access the same version of the files that I used, so anyone can reproduce my steps without hunting around. I hope this helps other folks.

10.14.6 -> 10.15.4 Success

Board: Gigabyte Designare Z390
Firmware: F9b (here)
CPU: i9-9900K
GPU: XFX Vega VII (slot PCIEX16)
Wifi/Bluetooth: Fenvi T919 (slot PCIEX1_2 with USB to F_USB—HS11/HS12)
10G Ethernet: Sonnet 1-Port Solo (slot PCIEx4)
Model Identifier: iMac 19,1
Clover: 5103

What’s working in 10.15.4?
Everything appears to work including:
-Sleep/wake
-TB3 plug&play with UAD-2 satellite

Here are the steps I took and the versions of files I used:

1. Update motherboard BIOS to F9b and re-apply settings from guide (here)

• Note: I ran into a strange issue where my bluetooth would not work correctly after updating the bios. Note: I ended up having to apply step #2 below just to get the bluetooth to work again with BIOS F9b (It turns out I was missing the USBInjectAll in /Library/Extensions—why it was working with BIOS F6 and broke just by updating the motherboard BIOS is a mystery to me)

1. Update Lilu (1.4.3), WhateverGreen (1.3.8), AppleALC (1.4.8) — released versions from release section of the projects that can be found here, also get a current version of USBInjectAll (0.7.1) from the Post-Install Files.zip attached to the guide here

• Put copies in /Library/Extensions & I ran Kext Utility (2.6.6 available here) or you could use Kext Beast (from here)
• Put copies in boot_disk_EFI:/EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI
  • Note: After upgrading to Clover5 I deleted boot_disk_EFI:/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI and boot_disk_EFI:/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64

1. Apply changes to enable native NVRAM from here including:

• Put SSDT-NVRAM.aml (from this page) into boot_disk_EFI:/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
• Put version 20.1 of OcQuirks (from this page) into boot_disk_EFI:/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched (this includes OcQuirks.plist, OCQuirks.efi and OpenRuntime.efi)
• Remove OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000 and other unnecessary files
• Please note files in my final config (the files listed in the attached screenshots)
• 
• 
• 
  
  
  
• Install the Upgrade to Catalina via Apple Software Update (follow instructions on reboot to use Clover to select the “Boot macOS Install from xxx” …(follow steps to complete the install in this Catalina in-place upgrade guide. Note: my upgrade seemed to run more smoothly compared to the experience outlined in that guide—maybe going right to 10.15.4 has simplified the process)
• Note: after following the steps above, applying the 10.15.4 Supplemental Update (via software update) worked without a problem.

Hi @CaseySJ.
I am preparing to flash my GC-Titan Ridge card this evening using the Raspberry Pi method. I have read your guide 20 times to ensure I completely understand every step. The area I think I need clarification on is in the pin configuration, splitting the wire from 17 into a “y”. Could I run a wire from 17 to 7. Then strip a portion of that wire and connect from the stripped portion to pin 3? Is there a more elegant method? Sorry for my ignorance.

Thanks!

I test to reinstall all my system. It is not a problem for my old stuff.

I use this guide:

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

SSDT's are a type of patch that are applied to get on board devices up and running. They are located in your EFI partition on your boot drive like this "EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched" see pic. As far as i know this is what the folder should look like to get UAD devices to work, but I am not sure as I...

Do I need to use Clover 5107?

It is important, and do I need to do this? Why do we have to proceed like that. For what purpose"

• This procedure depends on Native NVRAM.
  • This guide will do most of the work for you, but you must unlock your motherboard's MSR 0xE2 register by following the simple Micro-Guide located here.
  • Unlocking MSR 0xE2 register is required. This installation process will fail immediately if this is not done.
