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

On the USB flash drive is my Carbon Copy back up from my MacOS SSD and the EFI from MacOS SSD. I composed it as per your instructions at the beginning of the thread.

The thing is it worked before all the time and now it just stopped.

Which port is it connected to?

• USB Type A port on the rear IO panel or front of PC?
• USB Type C (Thunderbolt) on the rear IO panel?
• USB Type C on the front of PC?

Is it a flash disk or a SATA SSD?

I tried both port on the fron of the PC:
USB Type A port on the rear IO panel or front of PC
USB Type C on the front of PC

The flash disk is SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 1 TB

Just to clarify terms:

• USB flash disk is also called USB thumb drive or USB pen drive.
  • MacOS will not install/boot from one of these drives.
• Your Sandisk is a SATA SSD in an external USB 3 chassis.
  • MacOS can be installed on a SATA SSD.

It might be best to boot macOS, then erase the Sandisk using Disk Utility:

• Format: APFS
• Scheme: GUID Partition Map

Then run CCC and select “Legacy Bootable Backup” and “Allow CCC to erase the disk”. Then start the backup. (I’m assuming you have Big Sur or Monterey.)

When the backup is done, manually mount the EFI partition of the backup disk to confirm that the OpenCore EFI folder is present.

If it is, then try booting from it. Press F12 at Gigabyte Splash Screen and select the Sandisk from BIOS Boot Menu.

}

and because I can't help myself:

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "Slav", "GPRW", 0x00000000)

    External (XPRW, MethodObj)    // 2 Arguments

                {

                    Zero

            }

        }

    }

Just wanted to let you know that I loaded BlueToolFixup (latest version), but no luck. Same as before: menu bar icon has a slash through it, I can use that icon to seemingly enable bluetooth, but in the sysprefs icon, it's there and nothing works.

Not sure this is useful, but I am attaching my bootlog and a kextstat

But, as always, your willingness to help is greatly appreciated.

Is HackinDROM supposed to update a FlashDrive to OC 0.7.3?
1. Downloaded the latest version of HackinDROM 2.0.1
2. Used it to mount my Flash Drive.
3. HackinDROM says my Flash Drive is OC 0.7.2 and it is up to date.

So I've not been able to use HackinDROM 2.0.1 to update my test FlashDrive to OC 0.7.3. Am I missing something?

Thanks

BTW,
I am using USBmap.kext instead of ACPI.

There's no apparent indication of a problem in these logs. Let's take a look at a screenshot of OpenCore Configurator --> Kernel. We can resize the window such that all columns are visible.

Hello @CaseySJ

Thank you for your time. I am using this combo:

Gigabyte Vision G Z490 (bios F7.. I think it is similar to F5 of Vision D?)
RADEON RX 580 PULSE
Intel i9 10850K

I am trying to disable CSM Support. I disabled CSM support. But after reboot, it is reverted. (Go back to Enabled)

I don’t know why it happens. Is there any fix? Or any idea?

Thank you so much For your time!
