This seems like a problem with the APFS volume or SSD. What is the make/model of your NVMe SSD? Another possible cause might be some incompatible third-party drivers carried over from Mojave. What files do you see in /Library/Extensions?

Hello @xanderevo, Long time indeed! I would suggest looking at these two steps from the Quick Reference spoiler at the top of Post 1. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. The steps are: Update to BIOS F9i and use the BIOS configuration guide for Firmware F8 and newer to configure BIOS...

There are a number of small screws on the back side that hold the plastic cover in place. As you remove the first few and jiggle the plastic cover, you'll discover which remaining screws need to be removed.

At the top of Post 1 there's a link to updating OpenCore using HackinDROM. I've copied it below for convenience: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-gigabyte-designare-z390-thunderbolt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.316533/post-2310939

First of all, thank you for the clear description. Some questions: Are you able to mount the source EFI partition using EFI Agent, OpenCore Configurator, Hackintool, or any other app? If so, does that partition contain a full EFI folder? If so, one quick solution is to manually copy the EFI...

I believe I experienced the same issue. Here’s a quick suggestion that may or may not help: Add boot argument ixgbe=0 Shutdown and flip power switch on PSU to off for 10 seconds (yes this is necessary) Then power up and check sleep behavior again with cable connected

Good observation. The Linux dump for Asus Z690 ProArt has the Pin Complex 0x01014010. Reversing the bytes gives us: AB = 10 CD = 40 EF = 01 GH = 01 So you're right that E = 0 and zero is not one of the known values. Please try "0" as well because your pin complex is the same. Let's see if the...

@djx8605 Good questions. It’s been while since I wrote that so I’ll respond soon.

For Alpine Ridge controllers we can try enabling Thunderbolt Bus with a SSDT. This may not yield the best results but it’s an alternative to flashing the firmware. We have a compilation of these SSDTs and how to use them...

The most recent modified firmware for this motherboard is located in the post below. We have two choices: NVM33 NVM67 — for better compatibility with USB4 hubs https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-gigabyte-designare-z390-thunderbolt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.316533/post-2087524

I don’t know what you mean. BIOS does not interfere with Thunderbolt. Even on-board Thunderbolt has its own firmware chip (it does not use BIOS chip). In any case, your motherboard’s Thunderbolt firmware has not been changed.

The screenshots in this post show a fully rendered Thunderbolt Bus: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-gigabyte-designare-z390-thunderbolt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.316533/post-2128769

This screenshot shows that Thunderbolt Bus is not enabled (firmware did not change). Does your GC-Titan Ridge look the same?

Please run IORegistryExplorer, scroll (not search) down to RP05, and post a screenshot. That will give us a good sense of what happened.

Hello, can you please describe how you flashed the Thunderbolt firmware? We need to use an external CH341a SPI flash ROM reader/writer. I believe TBTFlash.exe is a Windows application, but that app cannot flash a modified firmware.
