Check the specs of your computer and tell me what ethernet controller it uses. Intel? Realtek?

Don't worry about "About This Mac". It's just cosmetic. You can fix that or leave it. It doesn't matter.
 
thx Pastry for your hel, really appreciate!!!

here the EFI, Ethernet type, and the patch I've used to get the 530 work....

NOTES
:
installed manualli in clover using tex mode ....

with thi EFI, now I boot directly in mac os in verbose mode...

I've not used the last EFI folder u sent me Pastry, I am sorry totaly missed the post ...

If i get all working perfectly, i will buy a fenvi wifi bluetooth card and NVMe ssd and than finally have a descktop mac ... this is important cuz I need a stable hackintosh that I've to use for upgrade my XPS 9360 with catalina (fresh install)

I Know that togheter we will get it working @TomJones thx to @pastrychef
Byakugan Neji :clap: with his eyes he can see further :thumbup:

Use the EFI from post #72. If your video out ports need patching, add it to the config.plist.

Download and put the attached kext in to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/.

@pastrychef using your EFI system goes on and afther showing account login screen ,I cant use neither mous or keyboard... no typing, no moving pointer...what should I do?
 
Try this.
Thanks @pastrychef for your assistance and the quick turnaround with this. Unfortunately, I get the same results:
- I can boot into clover,
- I see the ++++++
- then the machine reboots.

Is there a way to do a log dump or debug of what's going on???
 
ok, added the missing USBinject all.kext....
now hd530 is working but still no ethernet... keep going on
thx pastrychef

Ah... I forgot to add the 15 port limit patch...

Please add the two patches from the following link to your config.plist:

If you added the kext I sent you, ethernet should be working.

Boot in verbose mode and post a picture of where it stops/crashes.

Also, please add the 15 port limit patches to your config.plist.
