[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

[StefanAM]

Hello all, any clues or ideas on how best to troubleshoot a lack of "hand off" for my Catalina build. I'm using the FV-T919 card. Airdrop seems to be working pretty well. But no hand off at all.

What are the makes/models of all NVMe SSDs (M.2) in the system?

Only 1 - Sabrent Rocket 1Tb (which is my main macOS drive). There are 4 other SATA SSDs - two in a SoftRAID, one solo and a Windows SSD, but I guess we're ruling those out?

More info - I'm on BIOS revision F8

Is it possible you provided the wrong file for my R6 Define case with USB-C in the front? My iPad Pro still gets power from the front, but now it doesn't recognize the iPad anymore (data). From your start-post, the following files are normally included when you have a R6 define case: So, I...

The Sabrent Rocket NVMe SSD has been rock solid for me. I have their 256GB, 512GB and 1TB models. Flawless; so that most likely rules that out...

Thanks, I decided to do a complete logout of the iCloud account on my hackintosh and low and behold its working now before I saw the links, doh!

I added my FV-T919 after my initial build to resolve some bluetooth lagging issue I had with a USB dongle and iCloud was setup prior to the card installation so perhaps that was the issue.

As always, thanks for the help. Amazing work on getting things to be so stable.

Yep, sounds like it. Further (possibly) useful information - I've just rolled my OpenCore EFI back to remove the custom UIAC that I'd made, and replaced it with SSDT-UIAC-DESIGNARE-Z390-V7 (in config.plist as well) and now all of my USB ports are running as USB2 only - no USB 3 devices are working unless they're plugged in to a USB2 port. Any chance I've broken something somewhere else?

Glad to hear it. This is what makes the Apple ecosystem so good... It's a walled garden to be sure, but the flowers are always in bloom.

Please check:

• USBInjectAll.kext should be enabled in OpenCore --> Kernel
• SSDT-UIAC-DESIGNARE-Z390-V7.aml should be enabled in OpenCore --> ACPI
• The previous UIAC SSDT should be disabled or removed from OpenCore --> ACPI

These are from his config.plist:

• iMac19,1
• Headless platform ID 0x3E980003
• Because the correct keyword is "model" instead of "AAPL,model", only the AMD Radeon RX 580 is being set correctly.

I must have missed the posts(s) advising to change from "AAPL,model" to just "model".
I'll change it and see what happens.

BTW, the config-AMD-GPU.plist file in the "May 2020 Update - Catalina 10.15.4 Fresh Install.zip" still has it defined as "AAPL,model".

Double-checked and everything was correct - have rebooted and ports are now working at full speed. Very strange, but almost certainly user error on my part. Thanks for the help - I'll see if USB is more stable now
