<< Solved >> Need help installing OpenCore in z390 Aorus Pro

[aitor451]

Hi, I have this hardware:

Z390 Aorus Pro (Bios version F10. No WIFI)
I5-9400F (without iGPU)
RX 560

Then:

1. I grab @pastrychef OpenCore 0.5.8 EFI folder from this post.
2. Change variables of config.plist (system serial, motherboard serial, etc) with OpenCore configurator (Attached my EFI folder).
3. Reset and configure BIOS something similar to this post (is a different version).
4. Unlock MSR

After boot with install Catalina partition, Apple logo appears and progress bar runs until half of the path, then a prohibited sign is shown.

I'll appreciate any help to debug the installation process.

Please boot in verbose and post a picture of where it gets stuck.

Your USB ports are not correct. The EFI you are using is specific for the Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming and the USB ports are mapped for that motherboard only. You can try the EFI from post #4 of my Z390 thread.

Your post #4 has no opencore EFI, just Clover. Am I wrong?

Yes. Get macOS installed and running. Then you can fix your USB and go back to OpenCore.

Ok. Right now I have installed macos 10.15 succesfully on disk (Clover way). Then, what is the next step?

Once you have created USBPorts.kext, you can replace the one in the OpenCore EFI.
You should also delete all the device properties and create your own in the OpenCore config.plist.
