New Update
OC 0.6.7
macOS 11.2.3
Prerequisites:
*Nvram and MsrsE2 patched BIOS. If no MsrsE2 is patched then set AppleCpuPmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock Booleans to TRUE in Kernel\Quirks.
*Generate your own SMBIOS.
The whole process took 7 minutes and 3 reboots.
Good luck.
Hi.
Post install can vary a lot from one system to other.
My first step will be to map usb ports.
checking if you actually have an unlocked Msrs. You can use the check tool on picker.
Double check the dortania opencore guide looking for little things you may have missed.
Hi again,
I did some edits to your SSDT-RTC0-RANGE.aml
RTC name is RTC
LowPinCount path is LPC0
PCI path is PCI1
This is the V1 EFI with Write Flash set to false. If it fails try enabling it.
Hope this helps.
Please also check your BIOS settings.
Disable
Fast Boot
Secure Boot
Serial/COM...
Hi again.
Please try this 2 EFI folders.
They are as clean possible.
The difference between them is that V2 has Flash Write enabled.
If none of them work for you, please dump your DSDT and post it here.
It could be that your motherboard version needs some SSDT edits.
Good luck
Hi.

My specs:
Asus X99-A

Asus Radeon Vega 56
BIOS Asus X99-A Version 4101 with patched Msrs and Nvram (Attached below)
Hi every one.
Today I successfully updated my hackintosh to OpenCore 0.6.6.
My EFI folder works perfectly fine with Catalina and also with Big Sur.
Please note that my Mother board is an Asus X99-A (no X99A-ii, deluxe, WS, etc) And my CPU is an Intel I7 5820k.
Maybe you typed it wrong the first time during setup. It can happen that the keyboard layout varies from setup to working system.
Try inserting the same password with different typos.
Also check that your keyboard is set properly for your language.
Hi
Opencore is frequently updated and focuses on security.
and now easy steps to install catalina with opencore.
1 create your catalina usb installer.
2 mount the EFI partition using EFI mount.
3 copy my uncompressed EFI folder to your usb installer.
4 boot from usb.
5 choose install catalina...
You basically have my same machine except for the video card which is a Kepler GK106 (Not fully supported I guess).
I am using OpenCore not clover.
You can take my EFI folder as it is, and that should make most of the work, but if it fails you are going to need a different Video card.
Please...

And as long as I know: If you brick the bios you can not use ezflashback again. instead you need to physically remove a flash chip and use an usb device to flash a new firmware.
Works perfectly fine also with catalina.
And sadly the only way to know if the bios is well patched, (at least for us mortals) is to flash it and hope the motherboard boots.
Or learn from Win-Raid forum how to mod a bios like a pro.
Hi hellowe.
Yes of course.
The first and most important thing should be patching the bios to unlock nvram whitelist.This can be done with uefipatch (not recommended) or manually.
Sadly manual patching of the bios is really hard for newbies, me included. I first did it with uefipatch and later on...
