thanks for your quick reply!@faithie999
What a disappointment to lose your TB bus based on SLEEP failure, then have to go through that extensive restore procedure!
The following information is based on my Z390 Aorus Pro with a flashed GC-Titan Ridge AIC. Flashing was done per @CaseySJ mini-guides. I'm running fully updated Mojave 10.14.6, BIOS F11, Clover 5107, i9-9900K, RX-580 (headless), jumper cable between the GC-TR AIC and DP on the RX-580. Apple TB Display with the TB3->TB converter plugged into a GC-TR TB3 port, and the other LG display plugged into an HDMI port on the RX-580.
The attached Aorus Pro BIOS - TB.zip file contains three jpg files (BIOS-TB-x) with screen shots of my BIOS setting for Thunderbolt.
Also a file - AP_04_25_2020 - saved from my BIOS with my current BIOS settings. You COULD SAVE your current BIOS settings to a file (in the EFI partition of a thumb drive), and load my BIOS setting to see if there are any other settings that might make a difference.
Finally a screenshot of my Clover Configurator Acpi screen with a "Disable GPE.TINI - TB3 Slow Boot" patch that significantly increases boot time with the GC-TR AIC installed. Credited to @Elias64Fr . (Since you are doing a lot of rebooting!)
Are you confident that the flashing of the GC-TR AIC was successful? Would it make sense to re-flash the card if none of this information I've offered helps?
It seems that typically two seemingly very similar hackintoshes can act very differently.
Good luck!
I will take a look at your BIOS settings in a few minutes. I'm alternating TB troubleshooting with several outdoor projects! I will also load your bios settings and give that a try.
I have the TINI patch deployed already. I removed it and the (bad) behavior is the same.
in your config, you mentioned Mojave. that is something I was considering trying on a spare drive. to fully replicate your setup, are you using iMac19,1?
now, one more interesting nugget. I don't want to cause NUC thread drift, but the other day after I experienced the wake failure on the Aorus, I booted my NUC8 with built-in AR which I flashed with Eliasv1 ROM. I connected the TB display and got the same results--no wake from sleep, and "no Thunderbolt devices" upon reboot using an HDMI monitor. so based on 2 data points, it is an AR phenomenon. on my list of troubleshooting steps is to flash the AR AIC with Eliasv2.
