I have a NUC7i3BNH, BIOS 49, Catalina, that has been booting via Clover. I want to convert to OC. I downloaded the 0.7.9 EFI from page 89 to a USB drive, added my platform info, and tried to boot. the picker screen shows just a single entry: EFI, which turns out to be the Clover EFI on my...

Are you the US? Right now Amazon shows 2 available at $20-ish. good luck

true, but I have both my Apple Thunderbolt Display (yes, I know that may be problematical but it worked OK in alpine) as well as a WD TB2 disk drive (using an apple TB3 to TB3 adapter) which works fine in my Designare. even if the display is fluky, the WD unit should show up, and it doesn't...

yes, the SSDT-DTPG is in the acpi folder and it is checked ON in config.list--acpi. however, I see that the SSDT-TbtOnPch-Gigabyte-Z390-AORUS.aml I have is for the alpine ridge. IIRC that is required if the card isn't flashed, which it isn't. I have "unchecked" the alpine TbtOnPch aml. so do...

I have a Z390 AORUS Pro in which I have a flashed Alpine Ridge V2 card. it has been working OK but I thought I would try out an unflashed (maybe eventually having to flash it) Titan Ridge AIC. The only place on post 1 I could find reference to a guide was in connection with using HackinDROM...

What DJ4MC might mean is that if he leaves both kexts check marked to load in his plist, but removes one from the kext folder, OC throws an error that probably prevents booting.

my error. your open core entries in your above post work fine. in my haste I assumed the "connector type" data was all the same which if course they aren't. a couple of days later I tried again, found my error, and now I get full acceleration. however, if I allow either the screen to sleep...

my 2020 MacBook Pro (Intel) had some kind of event last night. it no longer responds to trackpad/mouse clicks from trackpad, apple BT mouse, or usb mouse. it does respond to mouse clicks from my Designare via screen sharing. apple chat offered no hope other than Genius Bar. can I boot it in...

I installed Mojave on a separate HD in my Designare. In open core I changed Misc--Security--Secure Boot Model to Disabled. I test-booted into the Monterey volume with this setting and it booted fine. is there any risk to leaving the setting to Disabled for Monterey? thanks

@moshes I tried the above plist segment. the boot never completes. after a couple of minutes it loops between a couple of AppleKeyStore messages--unexpected session and operation failed--and many txflush messages. might be due to difference in motherboards--mine is a GA-H110M-S2H (same proc...

could you pls be more specific about the full name of OCAT? googling that acronym doesn't turn up a tool like you're using. thanks

@moshes this is exactly my problem, too. I have researched device-id's and platform-id's for HD530. I found the info in whatevergreen documentation about the one device-id with an HDMI connector, but still no luck. what combo of devlce and platform id's are you using? also, what did you do...

UPDATE: I tried installing from Recovery on the Big Sur volume a few times this morning. each time, I got the timeout error. searching for info I found several "correlation=causation" fixes, none of which worked. I downloaded the latest version of Big Sur that is on gibmacos and created an...

Under way....... After about 30 minutes, the Big Sur install from recovery failed with a PKDownload error. Now booting from Monterey recovery Monterey recovery installer did the trick. OC shows the correct boot choice for the Monterey disk (not --Data). I'll try once more to fix the Big Sur...

first I cleared CMOS and made the appropriate BIOS settings according to post 1. reset NVRAM--same symptom. cold boot--same symptom. verified boot from the SSD containing OC, also booted from USB stick which contains the designare OC that I placed on the usb stick a couple of weeks ago and...
