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

[StefanAM]

@CaseySJ, NVM 67 -> all working in my rig. Same like others NVM's before, some problems with sleep when I connect display trough TB. What SSDT do you use? Me, the Hackintool one. Any differences? Ah, I forgot: I have Titan Ridge V.1.

Update:
For z690 Aorus Master owners or maybe similar Gigabyte 3 PCI slots owners: never use Slot-3 for TB card. Always 2-nd slot. Third slot bring among others problems, sleep-wake issue.
@CaseySJ like I said before, NVM 67 work like a dream. The only thing who doesn't work is sleep if I have display connected to TB card video output. None of the NVM modified firmware allow sleep in this situation. When I'll have TB4 device I'll report if it is working.

Can I use the umodified file to update my FW firmware in Win10? This didn't work? A bad idea? My TB is currently not completely stable so I was thinking of redoing the TB FW anyway.

If you'd like to flash the unmodified NVM67 with a CH341a external programmer, please use the attached image. We cannot use Windows to install NVM67 because Gigabyte did not digitally sign the file.

Do you have any Thunderbolt 4 devices?

Try disabling both of the following, then reboot:

• config.plist --> ACPI --> SSDT-USBW.aml
• config.plist --> Kernel --> USBWakeFixup.kext

Appears to be fixed!

As always, THANK YOU!

Alright, not for me then.

Nope.

I know, but I figured the file from Gigabyte was safe (I used the orginal .BIN they sent me). On this machine Thunderbolt is not make or break for me, but on the other two it is.

Have you tested the CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub in macOS? Or perhaps you put off the purchase until NVM67 could be installed...

After playing around with Hackintosh for a few years I bought a Mac Mini M1, which is a great little PC. The hub work fine with that, although the M1 is not the best with Thunderbolt stuff (have a great EGPU just sitting unused right now). For layout reasons I use the element on main work Windows PC, it supports USB 3, TB3 and TB 4 and USB 4. Right now it is running in USB 3 mode so the TB ports are just USB 3C ports but would like to get it running at full speed eventually.

Bit stuck - can anyone call out what I am doing wrong?

Have been running on this build for well over a year with no issues. Currently on Big Sur 11.4.

1. Completed a full bootable backup using the guide and CCC to a USB SSD. Tucked it away somewhere safe.
2. Completed a second full clone on another USB SSD - aim to test an upgrade to Montery.
3. Using the guide I mounted the EFI on this drive using Hackindrom and updated OC to 0.7.8 with all the Kexts.
4. Initiated upgrade to Montery via App Store - after first part of install it says it will restart.
5. Selected boot loader F12 - booted from external SSD - selected HD Macintosh drive to continue install but just stuck in constant boot loop. Then get a OCB Startup image Failed.

Any suggestions?
I just wanted to test Montery on a clone of my Big Sur to check the upgrade went well without breaking my working system.... is this even possible?
Thanks!

One initial suggestion is to check if SecureBootModel in config.plist is set to Disabled. We should set it to Disabled during installation; we can change it back to Default afterwards.

P.S. Thank you for using bullet lists. 100 brownie points!
