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

[Snoots]

I have lost the "copper/gold" color external USB icons in the OC picker menu, anyone know a quick reason/how to get them back. Backups show the same name due to CCC cloning and it's hard to tell which drive you are booting for testing or normal operation.

Volunteers, please test the .app!

• Create OC EFI on existing drive
• Create OC EFI on a new external drive (USB)
• OpenCore version detection from EFI
• OpenCore new available version detection
• OPENCORE UPDATE!!!
• EFI Backups

Caseys 3 builds (Designare, Z490 Vision D, B550 Vision D) are supported with both AMD and Intel iGPU

try yourself and feedbacks please!

HackinDROM.app v1.1.1 RC1 attached to this post

EDIT:
Just noticed that trying to detect OpenCore Version on a Real Mac crash the app A default OC Version value (0.6.6) is provided to avoid the crash. Will improve Real Macs support in a future version.

hoping for xtreme motherboard compatibility in future version, looks very good !!

Hi!
There Is some or are planning a GitHub for this app?

Works great!
I do would like to see the functionality to either choose the USB (which you now included), but also a possibility to safe the EFI in a folder selected by the user. You can provide a warning not to test the EFI on a live system for example. But I do always test on my live system (because it's easy for me to swap my SSD to another system) and therefore would like this functionality, instead of using a USB (formatting etc takes time, placing a new Big Sur version on it etc.).

Some notes:

• If an EFI partition is already mounted before running HackinDROM app, then HackinDROM app will crash when we click on it.
• When we click on HackinDROM app in menu bar, we have to click on it one more time before the window receives focus (i.e. before mouse clicks will work).
• When we mount one drive then try to mount another drive, the app will crash. The second drive will be mounted, but then the app crashes.

There are the small bugs reported by CaseySJ, but other than that the evolution since the last test is astounding : for me, I say perfect and thank you !!!!!

Another thing however: you have to check the OC kext folder built on the USB stick because the custom kexts are not found in it ... (for example my personal USB kext ...) even if the config.plist -> kernel include it, ditto for the drivers and resources files folders...

Actually every Motherboard can be compatible but I prefer when someones is leading that build like Caseys does with 3 builds,
if @NorthAmTransAm @Stork or anyone else wants to participate to this project please let me know

No for the moment but why not?!

Added!

When we click on HackinDROM app in menu bar, we have to click on it one more time before the window receives focus (i.e. before mouse clicks will work).

Fixed!

If an EFI partition is already mounted before running HackinDROM app, then HackinDROM app will crash when we click on it.

When we mount one drive then try to mount another drive, the app will crash. The second drive will be mounted, but then the app crashes.

Im not able to reproduce theses crash
Could you make diskutil list and show me which drives causes the crash please?

Another thing however: you have to check the OC kext folder built on the USB stick because the custom kexts are not found in it ... (for example my personal USB kext ...) even if the config.plist -> kernel include it, ditto for the drivers and resources files folders...

.aml files, .kext and drivers (.efi) files which are include in config.plist are merged with Casey's config.plist

Look in this example where "ssdt_data.aml" is a custom .aml I created which you'll never see in Caseys EFI folders

However I never thought about Resources and Tool folders.. will add them too with "Update" checkboxes, good idea!

Thanks for the feedbacks!!

Can you tell me which drive cause the issue please?
