[GUIDE] How to install macOS 14 Sonoma on Z390 Aorus Elite motherboard using OpenCore

[cperalta]

Thanks!!! your guide works perfect, now I have wifi again

 

[miliuco]

EFI folder with OpenCore 0.9.6

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

config-14-macpro.plist

• SMBIOS MacPro7,1
• IMPORTANT: fill in your own SMBIOS data
• iGPU disabled in BIOS

Config extra

• how-to-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
• how-to-amfipass.plist: to have the Fenvi card with AMFIpass.kext instead of amfi=0x80 in boot args
• how-to-ax210.plist: if you have an Intel AX210 combo card (only wifi)
• how-to-ax210-bt.plist: if you have an Intel AX210 combo card (wifi + Bluetooth).

Important

• Rename the selected config to config.plist
• Required kexts for Broadcom Fenvi or Intel AX211 are not included:
  • OCLP Hackintosh Notes
  • OpenIntelWireless
• Intel AX210 on Sonoma.

Do you know whether the fact of having CSR not active might lead to problem with Adobe Creative Suite working correctly under Sonoma?

No idea but Adobe apps sometimes don't work well with AMFI enabled, not sure if it has to do with your issue.
If you don't have amfi=0x80 in boot args, AMFI is enabled.
If you have amfi=0x80 in boot args, add AMFIPass.kext 1.4.0 to your EFI and remove the boot arg.

@applemacosxGOD
Your motherboard is pretty different. I have sleep working fine with this settings:

1. USB ports map

2. DeviceProperties of the USB device:

<key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)</key>
<dict>
    <key>acpi-wake-gpe</key>
    <data>bQ==</data>
    <key>acpi-wake-type</key>
    <data>AQ==</data>
</dict>

3. Terminal command to set pmset parameters:

sudo pmset autopoweroff 1;sudo pmset autorestart 0;sudo pmset hibernatemode 0;sudo pmset powernap 0;sudo pmset proximitywake 0;sudo pmset standby 0;sudo pmset tcpkeepalive 0;sudo pmset ttyskeepawake 0;sudo pmset womp 0;defaults write com.apple.loginwindow PowerButtonSleepsSystem -bool no

But as I say you have a different hardware. Maybe is better to open a new thread or to look for topics about X299 motherboards.

Hello miliuco, do you get DRM with iMac19.1? I got it working only with imacpro1,1.
