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

[supaMac]

Amazing Guide and resources CaseySJ! Always been on Clover so this was a bit of a learning curve. But I got most everything working mint by reading and following the guide. My new spec is almost identical, Giga Z490 D, i9-10900K and Radeon 570 OC edition. I got Wifi/Bluetooth and wired networking all working. iMessage Appstore and all the rest seem to be fine as well. Also, I updated to the newest BigSur 11.3.1. I learned a hell of a lot I didn't quite understand before.

I have one tiny quirk I can live without but was wondering if anyone has a similar weirdness, not too important, but hey I'm almost 100%.

Airdrop icon appears in Big Sur:
When I click into the Airdrop icon in the finder, it shows my phone.
When I click to share a photo from my phone, it sees Big Sur.
Then, when I share, it says waiting on the phone and no message of incoming file request.
Then, it just times out on the phone.

Hello @supaMac,

I assume you're using a Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth module instead of the on-board Intel module. If so, please try the following:

• Enter your Hackintosh serial number on Apple's support page here:
  • https://checkcoverage.apple.com/
  • If the website replies in red that the serial number is invalid, then you are okay to use it
  • If the website replies that the serial number is valid or has a support contract, then do not use that serial number and switch to another one (and test it)
• If serial number is okay to use, then log out of iCloud on the Hackintosh
  • System Preferences --> Apple ID --> Overview --> Sign Out...
• Also log out of iCloud on the iOS device
• Now reboot the Hackintosh
• Shutdown and restart the iOS device
• Log in to iCloud on iOS device
• Log in to iCloud on Hackintosh
• Test AirDrop once again...

Q: Do I really need Whatevergreen with dual dGPU + iGPU?
I am running my current setup without it and it runs so smooth, I think.

In many cases WEG is not strictly necessary as long as we're using a relatively recent motherboard and relatively recent AMD GPU. Some video ports on some AMD GPUs may not work properly without WEG, but the only way to determine the exact circumstances is by experimentation.

If we want to enable the on-board HDMI port, which is driven by iGPU, we need WEG for installing a framebuffer patch.

In some cases HDMI or DP audio may not work without WEG. Again, it's a matter of experimentation.

To be safe, therefore, we always use WEG.

Q: What are the tricks of WEG over native cards?

The WEG website is a good place to look. The Post Installation --> Graphics forum of TonyMac is another good place.

To be safe, therefore, we always use WEG.

When I get my parts and after I install, I will try with/out and write a feed-back. Thank you very much!

Actually Im using the onboard Intel WiFi 6 AX201 module. Most everything is working Serial checked out and I using iMac 19.1 system definition. I'm assuming I'd have to log out on all my iCloud devices phone iPad other Mac computers and Hackintosh's?
Again, sincerely thanks for the guide and the work you put in. It took me a few try's and a few days to get to here but your guide really has everything you need. I advise others just keep reading the answers are already here!

AirDrop does not work with Intel WiFi/BT modules. The OpenIntelWireless driver does not support AirDrop and most other Continuity features at this time. Only the following are supported:

• Handoff
  • Open web page in Safari on iOS device and you'll see notification in macOS dock (and vice-versa)
• Continuity Clipboard
  • Copy some information to clipboard on iOS device and paste it in macOS (and vice-versa)

Thanks for that I missed that (I'm sure it was here somewhere!)

For some odd reason, I'm always using the latest OC.

1. In BIOS be sure to set Thunderbolt Security to No Security, and power on the UAD device before turning on the computer.
2. Yes, I'm also using the latest UAD 9.14.1.
3. You can also try the DTGP.aml and TB3.aml that you can find from Hackindrom site. It might work better for you. I'm also using the latest BIOS for this board, I believe its the 3.10.
4. Enjoy and start making music!

I will, Thanks!

I was curious about my Mac Pro 5,1 so I tried the previous methods I used with the Ryzen (the Titan Ridge and custom NVM23). Installed OC 0.6.8, Mac Pro SSDT-TB3.

Interestingly It shows up in IOreg, but doesn't show up in PCI.

Interestingly It shows up in IOreg, but doesn't show up in PCI.

Have you tried to insert the devices in Device Properties?

 

[777Buzz]

Have you tried to insert the devices in Device Properties?

l'm not sure how you got "com_uaudio_driver..." to show up or how to insert the devices in Device Properties.

My PCI section is only the titan ridge on Mac Pro and Ryzen.

For the Mac Pro I just put SSDT-TBOLT3.aml in ACPI in OC folder and enabled with OC configurator. I tried with this machine because others have gotten TR 2.0 to work. Possibly it's the PCI card? I verified the ROM on blue chip.

One thing to add: I couldn't find the TB3.aml on the Hackindrom site. I'll try without TB3 SSDT.aml in a few days when the AsRock arrives.
