Thanks @CaseySJ
I order this parts.I thing I will receive next Friday.
This method can I flashing in MACOS?

Please note that the digital multimeter is not needed. We know already what voltages are produced on each pin.

Hi CaseySJ

What is the purpose of the BIOS folder that contains the SMCHelper.efi file?
Better to remove SMCHelper.efi file?
Does our motherboard use the UEFI folder?

Sorry for the many questions ...

Thanks

The drivers/BIOS folder is for older, non-EFI motherboards. We can delete the entire BIOS folder.

@CaseySJ Continuing "Alpine Mania", here's an issue I found when trying the SSDT (thanks to @dgsga and @mango1122) Only approach on the ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX

TLDR => I was getting a "Thunderbolt failed to power on.." KP (see attached file) after wake-from-sleep when using Vega 64/5700XT. Strangely, I wasn't getting this when using iGPU (9900k) Only and RX 480/580. More details in the post here. So for some reason, I had issues with Vega & Navi but not with Polaris.

I'm not sure if there's any correlation between the TB SSDT & AMD Drivers but it is really strange. Did you come across this issue on your board w/the 5700XT?

Looks like Internal Graphics might be disabled in BIOS. It must be set to Enabled (not Auto).

Finally got time to fiddle again. It was set to auto, enabled it and it works great now.

The Intel CNVi card works well in Windows, but not so well (yet) in macOS despite the experimental AppleIntel drivers. I cannot in any good conscience recommend the CNVi in macOS at this time.

I know it is in Beta stage for MacOS, I have only the Bluetooth kexts installed and they seem to work fine. I disabled the card (BT & WiFi) from "Device Manager" in Windows, tested the restart from Windows into MacOS and for now I don't get any Kernel Panic after boot. I'll keep you updated!

Important to know: these KPs were present also when I didn't had the CNVi Bluetooth kext installed.

Keyboards only work when connected to a USB A port on the motherboard. I have 10 other devices ranging from hard drive docks, sound cards, DACs, speakers and so on that work fine when connected to the TB3 HUB.

When you say "keyboards" only work with USB Type-A ports, have you tried multiple different models?

Feel free to compress and upload your CLOVER folder with serial numbers removed from SMBIOS. However, also check BIOS configuration and perhaps update to latest firmware (F9b), which will also flush out the system.

Additionally, when all else fails it's a good idea to find a spare cheap SSD (128GB or 256GB) and install clean copy of macOS, then retest the keyboard situation. If keyboards work on the fresh install, we can conclude that perhaps one of the USB HID drivers in the main installation has been corrupted.

Alas I've only tested the TbtOnPCH method with RX 580. The system with RX 5700 XT has a flashed on-board Titan Ridge. However, when using IGPU or RX 480/580, do Thunderbolt devices wake successfully from sleep? Or do they disconnect?

Even without the beta AppleIntelBluetooth kext, macOS will natively detect the Intel Bluetooth module and attempt to use it. That's why in macOS we disable USB port HS14 so macOS won't see the Intel Bluetooth module.

Firstly. Thank you so so much @CaseySJ ! I got my first Hackintosh up and running on Mojave a couple of days ago following your guide and even though I know basically nothing about computers it even made sense to me. You my friend are a legend.

The one piece of the puzzle that I can't get to work is the Bluetooth on my Fenvi T-919. WiFi is working fine. I spent the last few hours looking through the forum and can see tons of people with the same experience but I couldn't work out how to fix it. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like the computer is recognizing the card just fine.

EDIT: Absolute dum dum over here. I hadn't screwed in the antennas on the card properly. Gave them a tighten and everything is fine after that.

On a separate note though. Has anyone else been having issues with Preview? Often when I try and open an image like a JPEG I just get the spinning beach ball and then preview wont respond and I have to force quit.

Any help here would be much appreciated.

Ahh I see. Yes when using iGPU or RX480/580 Thunderbolt devices sleep and wake successfully.
