EFI folder with OpenCore 0.9.8
config-14-imac-amd.plist
config-14-imac-amd.plist
- SMBIOS iMac19,1
- IMPORTANT: fill in your own SMBIOS data
- iGPU headless mode and AMD as main card
- iGPU Enabled in BIOS
- unfairgva=6 in dGPU properties to get some kind of DRM
- SMBIOS MacPro7,1
- IMPORTANT: fill in your own SMBIOS data
- iGPU disabled in BIOS
- config-fenvi.plist: if you have a Fenvi combo card or any of the Broadcom wifi chipsets that have lost support in Sonoma and are included in the OCLP root patch
- config-amfipass.plist: to have the Fenvi card with AMFIpass.kext instead of amfi=0x80 in boot args
- config-ax210.plist: if you have an Intel AX210 combo card (only wifi) (this file has itlwm.kext but you can try AirportItlwm.kext instead)
- config-ax210-bt.plist: if you have an Intel AX210 combo card (wifi + Bluetooth) (this file has itlwm.kext but you can try AirportItlwm.kext instead).
- Rename the selected config to config.plist
- Required kexts for Broadcom Fenvi or Intel AX210 are not included because the ZIP file size exceeds 25MB:
- Fenvi and Broadcom Wi-Fi cards
- AX210 and Intel supported combo cards - OpenIntelWireless
- AirportItlwm.kext
- BlueToolFixup.kext
- IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext
- IntelBTPatcher.kext
- itlwm.kext
- Intel AX210 on Sonoma
- Get back Fenvi T919 and other Broadcom Wi-Fi on macOS 14 Sonoma thanks to OLCP
- Don't forget any other kext that you are using now.

Hello,
Please look at the attached config.plist. There are a few editings :
- re-order kexts ( Lilu, VirtualSMC, WEG, AppleHDA, etc)
- disable CPUFriend.kext
- disable CPUFriendDataProvider.kext
- disable RestrictEvents.kext
If needed, they can be enabled later after the full installation.
======================================
Your USB mapping does not provide at least one "true" USB 2.0 port ( black, UsbConnector 0 ).
What you can do ?
Disable a physical USB 3 port on the rear ( disable the pair SSxx and HSyy ).
Add a "true" USB 2.0 to the maping.
Total nr of ports : 15 - 2 + 1 = 14 .
Prepare a USB 2.0 stick ( 32 GB for Sonoma, 16 GB for Ventura and below)
Try to install inserting the USB 2.0 stick into the "black usb 2.0 port"
Take one step at a time.
Cheers

Here, I highlighted the "black" back-panel USB 2.0 ports ( neither blue, nor red)
In the .plist file, a "true" USB 2.0 is NOT a companion of a USB3 port !
Example (from one of my maps )
See the type of UsbConnector ?

yes, the problem is: port mapping. So i set boot-arg to -uia_exclude_ss uia_include=HS11,HS12,HS13
Now, i ready to set up the installation from OC Bootloader. Thanks @Cosmix for your support.
One more thing: do i need to install window for USB port mapping?

I think the best method to map is using Hackintool ( v4.0.3 )

Some thoughts ( post #90 )
Use Old Parts with a newer version of macOS ?
ok, then remove SS07 and SS08 if they didn't light up at all what about ss10 and ss02, did they light up? SS10 no light... ss02 yes, green light, is the usb port in the case. I remove this port from Hackintool because years ago I broke a little chip in the motherboard and doesn't work well

Important Update: June 2023 From Big Sur 11.3 on the built-in OpenCore XhciPortLimit quirk no-longer worked as described. This became a known "bug", though in reality it was Apple changing their internal code, making a simple "peek and poke" to keep it operating, a difficult task. However, with...
