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

[kmacdaddy]

hey thanks for your reply

ive attached my log fiie

the last error registered is he Quartz framework's library couldn't be loaded from /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Quartz.

my bios date is set 12/10/2019 i had rolled it back because i read that was a solution somewhere

im currently running bios update f9 on z390 designare

thought i'd update for anyone interested i was able to copy my install files to my target drive by using this terminal command after fishing around terminal using cd / and ls / to understand where things were located on my thumb drive.

anyways i was able to force phase of install using this command line

cp -rf /Volumes/{the name of your install media}/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/SharedSupport/* /Volumes/{the name of the target volume}/macOS\ install\ data/

Nevermind, I figured this out!

I got my RX 550 fully working, all three monitor outputs, graphics acceleration working. With Clover, simply inject the fake ID 0x067FF002 - in Devices->Fake ID->ATI and enable Inject ATI.

Again, no luck. Immediately Blue Screened. I even tried resetting NVRAM from OpenCore and then selecting Windows 10 through OpenCore picker menu and did the same thing. Wasn't sure if something was stuck in NVRAM that was causing it. Could there possibly be something wrong with my OpenCore Settings?

EDIT: I have attached the results of the OpenCore Config.plist sanity checker just in case something stands out in that.
When I installed OpenCore I followed the mini guide for the Designare Z390 at this link available here so I am uncertain as to where things have gone wrong. Its probably something simple staring me in the face but Im just not sure what im looking for.

Would it help if I screenshot the different settings I have within OpenCore (Although you can probably see them in the EFI folder) otherwise maybe its something within the BIOS. All settings within my BIOS are as they should be for a Hackintosh although on-board wifi has been re-enabled and the OS has been changed from Other OS to Windows 8/10.

I have another system with macOS/Windows dual-boot. Will check if OpenCore can boot Windows.

I did a fresh install of 10.15.6 and everything works 100%, even sleep.

Then I added a 2nd monitor today and now when my PC sleeps it the fans ramp up and it seems to stay asleep no matter what I do?

I have to force shutdown via power button to get into my PC again. Anybody know what could be going on?

Both monitors are connected via DP to my Vega 64. Not sure what is could be wrong...

Im using the latest WEG, Lilu, and open core 0.6.0

Edit:
I tried some things from the sleep aid post with no avail.

After reading the forum, it seems like @jackil182 has the same issue as me except I'm not using Windows. I have 2 displays. A BenQ 1440p and an Asus 4k display. After they go to sleep, the fans ramp up and the PC cannot wake from sleep. I have to manually force shut down. I've attached my sleep log of when I attempted wake the PC when it wouldn't. This did not happen when I was using just 1 monitor.

About the attached sleep log... This is when I tried waking the PC and when I found it unresponsive, I manually force shutdown and rebooted. This is the sleep log around that time.

Power Nap is Disabled
Wake for Network Access is Disabled
Put Hard Disks to sleep is Disabled

• If you connect only the BenQ, does the system sleep and wake properly?
• If you connect only the Asus 4K, does the system sleep and wake properly?

While I successfully rollback to the previous bios version, the windows bootloader seems to be damaged in opencore boot picker.
I installed catalina and windows on the same ssd. Before flashing the bios, everything is fine. I can boot into opencore and choose windows partition or MacOS partition without any problem.
Now in bios, when I select windows boot loader, I can boot into windows without any issue. However, if I select opencore bootloader and select windows, I won't be able to launch windows. The error says ACPI_BIOS_ERROR.

This is the same problem that @Lukey1979 reported. All SSDTs need to check if the host O/S is MacOS by doing this:

if ( _OSI ("Darwin"))
{
  // do Mac stuff
}

If you're up to it, try making this change to all SSDTs. You may also compress and upload your ACPI folder.

• Maybe with a little work on it , we can have a functional ThunderboltEX2 ?
• inside USBCUpdater we only find TB3 firmwares...

We may have to go back in time to Sierra or High Sierra. On the other hand, if you have the firmware dump from the Asus ThunderboltEX-2, we can try to modify the firmware without looking at Apple's own.

Please review this post for a workaround:

[Solved] macOS could not be installed on your computer...installer resources error

Success! I'm probably jumping the gun, but the install program is running, so I think I'm past this problem. I had to learn how to cd into a directory with spaces in the name (Install macOS Mojave.app, for example). Once I figured that out, the method in terminal laid out by yourgamesbeover...

Yes you'll still have that option. You can safely test it as well by booting from the USB flash disk and seeing if OpenCore will boot Windows.

perfect thanks

Yes !!! Here it is !

Was this captured from an external SPI Flash ROM reader? If so, unfortunately it's completely different from Alpine/Titan Ridge...ouch!
