Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

[CaseySJ]

@CaseySJ Hi there, Not sure if you remember but when I transitioned from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 I could not boot anymore from the Windows 10 NVMe drive. I would pick Windows 10 from OC picker then I would see Windows 10 spinning dots for a few seconds then it would reboot. I was hoping that with 0.6.3 this would have been fixed even if I have not idea what the root cause was but unfortunately it was not. The issue is still the same one. Any suggestion? If I reloaded the 0.6.1 it worked when I had Catalina but now that I have updated to Big Sur, I am not sure if it will work.
I guess one solution would be to reinstall windows 10? but then I have to re-download 110GB of Microsoft Flight Sim 2020
Would like to avoid it if possible.
Thanks

I was facing the same problem on my B550 Vision D and managed to fix it with a few SSDT edits. Can you please Compress just your OpenCore ACPI folder and upload?

Hello, teacher. I'm sorry I was careless last time. I saw your answer and deleted it right away! I upgraded Thunderbolt using your firmware yesterday. Hacintool catches two XHC3s at first boot but does not activate XHC3 at reboot. What do I have to do?

I've also been wondering about this. I remember when I first built my Hack and was doing the USB mapping (before I discovered Casey's wonderful build guide and EFI folder) and I had the SSP1 and 2 ports appear in Hackintool. I was thinking about doing a USB Map again, just to experiment on a system running without USBInjectAll and the port limit quirk, when I noticed they no longer appear in Hackintool (from a cold boot or otherwise, as seems to be the case with REXXVER above). The USB2 works in the USB-C slots (as you can see by the MagSafe Charger) but I don't have any devices to test Thunderbolt/USB3

Are you sure you never had a V2?

Anyway, the screenshot looks correct. Thunderbolt and USB-C devices may not work until the issue in the red box is resolved. An alternative is to simply disable this SSDT, in which case Thunderbolt hot-plug capability will be lost.

OK should I try copying the config from the thumb drive and retrying? Or if I disable the SSDT I'll have thunderbolt just no hot plug?

Hello @REXXVER

Some questions:

• When you say "I upgraded Thunderbolt", what do you mean?
  • Did you flash your Thunderbolt controller using an external SPI ROM flasher?
  • Which Thunderbolt card or motherboard did you flash? GC-Titan Ridge?

So, not sure if you've noticed, however....for the very first time, I was able to successfully backup (clone) a Big Sur system disk and volume to a USB attached disk, and have it work just as it used to do. No installing macOS from a USB or from the recovery partition (gahhhh....!).

I tested it by shutting down the computer (a Macbook Pro 16) and then booting to my clone, and it booted, so that is finally fixed!

This was Carbon Copy Cloner version 5.1.23 (just got it today). This might help some folks (my Big Sur version is 20B29)

EDIT: I meant to mention that on my 10.15.7 on the 10850 and Vision Z490, I'm running OC 0.6.4 with your config.plist (and newer kexts, because I compiled them all (OC and the kexts) at the same time) and it's working just fine....

1. I upgraded GA-Z490 Vision D by referring to my teacher's "Mini-Guide for Flash SPI ROM Chips Using 3.3V CH341a Programmer."

2. I referred to what the teacher wrote.

@CaseySJ No problem. Here it is. Thanks

@CaseySJ How to tell if TB hot plug is working correctly (I have no TB devices at the moment)? I have checked mine and it looks the same. Could you tell me how it's supposed to look like?

After a month working with a smooth Catalina installation in my first Hackintosh, I'd like to try Big Sur. Is there a special procedure to install it, or is it just a regular upgrade (download from App Store, install, reboots...) like in a real Mac?

I've updated OpenCore to the last version and made a backup of my OS an EFI partitions with CCC.

Thank you!
