Did anyone have success while using this to flash original dumped firmware to this motherboard? Update: After trying the tool, it mentioned that the thunderbolt device was not found, so I installed the thunderbolt driver from Gigabyte and after reboot I get BSODs now. I wonder if the driver is...

@CaseySJ that's the tool right?

Thank you! I will search his posts on this thread and try it. I hope I don’t brick it before selling the computer :lol:

Unfortunately it was not released for that motherboard. Would you think it would be a good idea to modify a package from another motherboard?

Is it possible to flash the original Thunderbolt firmware using software?

Would these methods be responsible for causing a wake from sleep delay?

15 seconds total, it takes 13 seconds for USB devices to start. Before the patch, USB devices started instantly and the whole cycle took 2 seconds.

Yeah, it stops working after enabling them, only AAC tracks keep working. iMac Pro SMBIOS definitely makes all the difference, I'm using iMac19,1.

@Elias64Fr Do you have any idea if there are any tweaks that could be done to the BIOS to make wake from sleep faster with patched Thunderbolt controllers?

What did you do for DRM? Music app skips lossless files and only plays AAC files, and from what I know, DRM stopped working on Big Sur and WhateverGreen has no support for it.

Anyone had luck playing Apple Music lossless tracks?

Did anyone mange to get macOS to boot with SecureBootModel set to Default on this motherboard?

I have fixed the issue by formatting boot disk and restoring it from Catalina recovery. It seems that Catalina can't boot from Big Sur APFS layout...

I'm running the latest F9i with CGF-Lock Disabled. Recovery boots fine, so I think it's some other problem. Maybe there's an issue with the prelinked kernel?

Sadly, it's still the same.
