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

[FormerUser-50757]

Some general suggestions that might or might not help:

• Please try Boot Once as suggested.
• Also ensure that your UAD devices are running the latest firmware.
• Also install the latest UAD drivers for macOS.
• It is good to replace OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000 with both OcQuirks-4 and FwRuntimeServices, but these may not be directly relevant to the boot-time vs hot-plug issue.

Thanks a bunch for the kind reply. I’m going to try boot once mode and switch out aptiofix for those 2 and see what happens. Cheers!

I have been using ocquirks-4 without issues. As for Thunderbolt settings I went with the settings in the OP with the one exception of Thunderbolt boot support to "boot once". I don't have the Designare MB so there are some differences. TB settings in BIOS from the OP worked perfectly for me until I updated the firmware on my Titan Ridge card. However making the one change in BIOS restored things. I have many TB devices as well as using the Apple TB3/TB2 adapter. No issues.

Thanks again for the reply. Going to try boot once out, tweak the Thunderbolt bios settings and swap out aptio for quirks & fw. Fingers crossed.

Awesome! I'll add this to the main guide soon. Screenshots can be found here.

I did include screen shots of the specific settings in the .zip as well...

Some questions:

• Are you using the iGPU to drive a monitor? If not, I'll change Platform ID to 0x3E920003 (headless).
• Are you using the latest Lilu, WhateverGreen, and AppleALC? If so, I'll remove Inject Intel and replace it with WhateverGreen parameters (in Devices --> Properties).

Update: The attached config.plist assumes the answer to 1st question is no and 2nd answer is yes. Before use, please copy serial numbers back into SMBIOS.

Thank you. I have changed Platform ID to 0x3E920003. I have removed Inject Intel but I am not sure what Whatevergreen parameters would be but I do see, "Devices --> Properties" in CC. I am searching for it but as of this writing I have not found it. I have replaced the S/N into SMBIOS. Attached is the dump files zip if they might help.

Suggestions:

• Backup the existing CLOVER folder before making the following changes.
• CLOVER/kexts/Other:
  • Delete CPUFriend.kext
  • Delete NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
  • Delete NoVPAJpeg.kext
  • Delete HibernationFixup.kext (or try updating to 1.3.1)
  • Update Lilu to 1.4.0 (released 13 hours ago)
  • Update WhateverGreen to 1.3.5 (released 13 hours ago and needs Lilu 1.4.0+)
  • Update AppleALC to 1.4.4 (released 13 hours ago)
• CLOVER/ACPI/patched:
  • Delete SSDT-Z390-DESIGNARE-RX580-SLOT2-V2.aml (it's causing ACPI parsing errors on boot)

** Catalina RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT Owners **

The latest versions of acidanthera kexts were released 13 hours ago:

• Lilu 1.4.0
• WhateverGreen 1.3.5
• AppleALC 1.4.4

Some of the changes in WhateverGreen (WEG) 1.3.5:

• Fixed handling agdpmod GPU property (in IGPUs and in conjunction with boot-arg)
• Fixed FairPlay DRM playback patches on 10.15
• Added shikigva and shiki-id aliases in IORegistry
• etc.
• etc.

If you're experiencing black screen issues, boot issues, and other graphics-related problems with the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT, try upgrading both Lilu and WhateverGreen.

All done. Should I still be looking for the WEG Parameters in Devices -->Properties?
Plus I've lost All USB ports on the front and top of the case.

Hi @CaseySJ Strange bug here... When I connect my iPad Pro or iPhone pro to any of the usb-c ports (the 2 ports in the back and the front panel of Phanteks Evolv X) My system does not recognise them. Strange is that I can connect on the same ports my usb 3.1 card reader, and they are recognised in in ioRegistryExplorer as usb 3.1.

But when I connect my iPad or iPhone I only get power but not connection and nothing happens on ioRegistryExplorer as well.

Any help? Thanks!

Made those changes and now I am in a continuous reboot. Cannot access the drive with the USB installer.

I installed my back up drive, tried to use as the macOS drive. I accessed the saved Clover folder and copied it to the EFI folder and the installed the WEG, Lilu, and AppleALC. Still unable to boot. I then copied the entire EFI folder from the backup drive and copied to the now problem drive. Something else is up. I will try Only the kext update next to see if that helps.
