Sorry for the late notice, I was trying this and that I went to sleep with no success. Does your hackintosh says that you have a thunderbolt driver?

 

[alectardy]

no it does no say that I have thunderbolt in system report, but it does work

Hello everyone, because I am trapped inside because of covid-19, I decided to get 10.15.4 working

What is working:
-Intel HD graphics hardware execration
-Audio and internal mic using AppleALC using ID 15 (thank you macpeet)
-Headphone port working (use ./install.sh from within the headphonejackfix folder) Thank you Feartech
-Keyboard and touchpad with gesture support
-Backlight and Volume control
-Battery in status bar
-Webcam
-Full sleep support (in terminal use "Sudo pmset hibernatemode 0")
-Thunderbolt 3 (with hutplug) (See Bios photos for my settings)
-Bluetooth
-USB 3.0 and 2.0 differentiation and recognition (USB Inject All With SSDT-UIAC-ALL)
-CPU Fan Control using HW Monitor
-Ethernet for the Killer E3000 (See Ethernet Info)
-Wifi using EW7811Ln USB - see " https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...11ln-usb-wifi-dongle-to-work-on-10-15.297199/ "

Whats not working
-Nvidia 2080 MaxQ
-HDMI (directly connected to Nvidia)
-Display Port (directly connected to Nvidia)
-Intel wifi 6 AX200 (waiting for AppleIntelWifiAdapterV2 or itlwmx project update)
-Headphone Microphone
-GPU Fan Control using HW Monitor
-Keyboard Backlight Controll
-Power Button to sleep

Problems I came across:
-My computer came with a sk hynix pc601 NvmeSSD and the drive is not compatible so I had to disable the drive from being detected from boot. I disabled the second NVME port (if you don't need this then remove SSDT-DiscreteSpoof-EVO-Plus.aml from ACPI/patched)
-I couldn't get the windows key to work, and after pulling my hair out I found out that Function keys are set in the bios. I was playing with function keys and pressed Fn+f6 Which locks the windows key. Just press Fn+f6 again to unlock
-I am quad booting Windows 10, Manjaro, Kali, and Mac OS. I have all three other operating systems on one NVME and Mac OS on the other. For the longest time I would sometimes restart my computer and get a Support Assist - Pre Boot System Performance Check before I was able to Start Clover. I believe that I was getting this issue because I did not have my clocks set properly in each OS. To fix this I corrected my clocks for each os, (in windows using Regedit) and have not got the problem again.


I hope this helps
-My current EFI folder below
-Make sure to change SMBIOS info to get iMessage and FaceTime to work

An iDiot's Guide To iMessage

Actually this is less of a guide and more of an explanation of the procedures that I use in my own builds in order to enable access to the App Store, iMessage and FaceTime. Do not be offended by the term 'iDiot', it is not intended as an insult but more my attempt at a humorous play on words...

I have an update for anyone interested. I took the plunge and changed over to open core, and though there is a bit of a learning curve, it was well worth it and I am glad I made the change.

I am uploading my OC folder as a reference, From what I understand, Open core is a lot pickier then clover and should be created custom for each computer, so you should not just copy my folder

Now I am on Big Sur 11.0.1

What is working:
-Intel HD graphics hardware execration
-Audio and internal mic using AppleALC using ID 15 (thank you macpeet)
-Keyboard and touchpad with gesture support
-Backlight and Volume control
-Battery in the status bar
-Webcam
-Full sleep support (in terminal use "Sudo pmset hibernatemode 0")
-Thunderbolt 3 (with hutplug) (See Bios photos for my settings)
-Bluetooth
-Intel wifi 6 AX200 (AirportItlwm)
-USB 3.0 and 2.0 differentiation and recognition (USB Inject All With USBPorts.kext)
-CPU and GPU Fan Control using HW Monitor, RPM Control with Mac Fan Control
-Ethernet for the Killer E3000 (LucyRTL8125Ethernet)
-Power Button to sleep (Works as should, and Control + power button Brings up Toggle Menu)

What's not working
-Nvidia 2080 MaxQ (not Supported)
-HDMI (directly connected to Nvidia, and Disabled with SSDT-dGPU-Off)
-Display Port (directly connected to Nvidia and Disabled with SSDT-dGPU-Off)
-Headphone Microphone (If anyone knows apple alc patching, any help would be cool)
-Keyboard Backlight Control, (i figured out that it is controlled in windows with f24 but am stuck)

I have an M15 R2 i7-9750H with 2070 Max Q. I've been trying to get open core to boot to install Catalina but no luck. Keeps stopping after light sensor. I've restarted from scratch on the main site many, many times and tried to price together other M15 R2 OCs but no luck. Any help would be appreciated

From what remember the light sensor loads from USB injection, try modifing or disabling that and see if you can boot that way

I copied your OC but I'm seeing this still. And also I keep getting failed to load bootstrap protocol

Hi Guys,

I am trying to make hardware acceleration work, but am not able to. Attached is my config.plist. I tried various combinations of boot flags and device properties, specifically AAPL,ig-platform-id from WhateverGreen's framebuffer patching guide. I am stuck at IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLock.../gIOLockState (3...). I started off with prebuilt SSDTs, then to SSDTs generated with SSTDTime, and now compiled them manually. Still no luck. Below are my config.

Laptop: Alienware M15 R2
CPU: i7-9750H
GPU: Intel UHD 630 + Nvidia RTX 2070 Max Q

I could successfully boot with boot flag "igfxvesa", but as expected with no gpu acceleration. I do not know how do I troubleshoot further form here. Any guidance/direction is appreciated.

Similar situation with Alienware M17 R4 (RTX 3080, i7-10870H).

The only way I can boot for now is by spoofing intel to 0x1234567 and not disabling the Nvidia
