Using the attached SSDT that has the DROM injection, I am getting these errors on boot:

It takes hotplugging a device into the card for the IOreg to populate correctly and only intermittent. When there is no DROM present hotswap works and devices populate the tree once they are plugged in. This is on OS 10.15.3.

It’s much easier to just change Platform ID in the existing config.plist. Simply backup the existing one first, then follow this video:

We can also follow the procedure in the first spoiler, namely “Procedure to Insert Frame Buffer Patch into config.plist”:

Thanks CaseySJ, but im confused

I'll clarify what I think you're proposing I do....

1. follow the video you linked to, to modify my current config.plist
2. Take out the MSI RX 5700XT card from the system
3. Proceed with the system update to 10.15.3
I'm confused after this point...

Do I just reinstall the MSI RX5700XT?

Cheers

After the system is updated to 10.15.3 you can reinstall the MSI GPU and continue using the modified config.plist. If the system boots up with the monitor connected to the MSI GPU, then you may backup or rename the modified config.plist and put the original one back into the CLOVER folder. Then reboot and check again if system boots up with monitor connected to MSI GPU.

Small update. I tested the Apollo over thunderbolt while mixing today and it's feeling great. No hang ups. Great!

I tried moving the card to the PEG slot but there's still no USB.

I'm also using the card with no TB header and all functions are in tact including cold boot.

I'm curious to wether or not I need to find my boards Thunderbolt ROM and implement it somehow. I don't understand that part or if it's even necessary.

Hi @NorthAmTransAm Can you post a photo of the front of your Apollo (the LED display that shows [Host] - [Int] - [Out] etc. One shot while it's running (Host light lit) -then flip the power switch off on the Apollo. Wait 30 seconds, then flip the Apollo's power back on. Wait 10-15 seconds and take a shot of that LED panel again.

Like this for the "before"

ICYWW, in this build thread, the Z390 Thunderbolt is RP05. The GB Z370 is Thunderbolt AIC<Slot 4<RP21.

Yeah, EX3. I should have mentioned that. I haven't gotten my GC-Titan Ridge yet but this is my prep work for it. If my setup isn't relevant to the thread I can back off.

It's relevant -- no worries. But we do need to state what device we're referring to. So far we have:

• Designare Z390 on-board Titan Ridge
• GC-Titan Ridge
• GC-Alpine Ridge
• Asus Thunderbolt EX3
• Asus Maximus Extreme on-board Alpine Ridge

North modded an Alpine ridge firmware based on the method OSY used. I installed it on my alpine ridge and was sharing my experience. Topic is a little derailed for the moment we all ended up here because Casey showed us all how to change the firmware.

Hi all, i just start a new build and i'm stuck with my install.
I'm stuck at the catalina install process. After the first restart when i boot to my ssd for the second part of the install it shut down after the loading page (the one with the apple logo). I have read a lot specially the guide by caseySJ and i want to know if it's due to my gpu that is a msi card? I have a designare z390 MB and i9700k. If you have a solution for that will really appreciate your help. Thanks

@CaseySJ
Is anyone experiencing App Store issues? Suddenly I can no longer update anything. No errors, it just fails.

So thats how you use multi quotes! I would absolutely do that but my Apollo is a Twin MK2 Duo. I use an Antelope Studio USB for my summing outputs.

So your really damn close with what you are doing north!

Nice! I'll try injecting those today to see if I get any change. The SSDT has a lot of device properties as well. Looking forward to this!

To further derail, I just found a bootpicker for OC. Looks handsome. https://github.com/n-d-k/NdkBootPicker

This is a post a few pages back about setting up the IGPU and using it instead of the 5700 for install.

Yes, MSI RX 5700 XTs should be physically removed during installation. Please follow the alternative Catalina Mini-Guide by clicking this link from the main Catalina Mini-Guide:
