[Success] WORKING Intel Wifi Drivers for 7265AC on Catalina

Only tested on 7265AC, should also work on other intel cards but not tested yet. This driver currently ONLY works in 10.15. First edit the Info.plist and add the ssid and password Then load the kext using terminal (Dont install directly into L/E): sudo mv ./*.kext /tmp sudo chown -R...

@Gaboto did it worked?

@Gaboto did it worked?

I tried and it didn't work for me.
The best and simple way to solve is to buy the USB dongles on Amazon:
USB WIFI TPLink T2U or T2U Plus (better) 11€ to 15€
USB BT 4.0 TPlink UB 400 - 10€.
Install the drivers and voilá. They work perfectly.

You need every time, before start MacoS to boot up with a windows partition to activate the bluetooth module on MOBO...!! (INSANE)

That's not true

 

[Gaboto]

That's not true

Since it didn't work, I figured that the Windows boot would be that problem. (As in the post they talk about it.) My mistake. I already deleted the text referring to the boot in Windows.

I have some very newbish questions. Can someone help me out? I followed this guide to the letter because I have a very similar build. I was able to install Catalina (yay!), but I'm not clear on what the post-install steps mean. Currently, only the USB drive I used to install macOS contains the Clover folders in the EFI partition, so I'm not able to boot without it.

• How do I get this hackintosh to boot into macOS without the bootloader on the USB drive?
• Do I need to copy the EFI folders from my USB drive to the EFI partition of the internal SSD where macOS is installed?
• There's a folder called "EFI Backups" on the main partition of my USB drive, created with Unibeast. Should I do anything with that?

^EDIT: I was able to copy the content from the USB boot disc EFI to the SSD's EFI. Solved that problem.

• Post-Install
  Note: Since I copied the USB boot drive (created by UniBeast-9.0.0) EFI content to my SSD's EFI,
  I didn't use MultiBeast for the post install.
  1. Open Clover Configurator on your USB stick main Partition
  2. Mount EFI → SSD → Mount Partition
  3. Mount EFI → SSD → Open Partition
  4. Apply most Z390_Mini_ITX_EFI.zip kext from the top link into /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
  and /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.14 accordingly.
  5. Install MultiBeast 3rd party USB patch if you want to use 3rd party USB hubs

  Are steps 1-4 instead of using MultiBeast?
• Did you need to disable any USB ports/headers to fit the limit?
• What is the most stable way to get WiFi/Bluetooth on this build?

^EDIT: mapped out usb I needed

I’m using integrated graphics on Gigabyte Z390I Aorus wifi and i5-9400. Both HDMI and DisplayPort are working, BUT I’m seeing some glitchy graphics, particularly Safari tabs in dark mode. Blurring, pixelation, trailing ... has anyone experienced this and fixed it?

I am running a similar build in an SM560 (Sliger) and was unable to boot for the longest time. I had 5 quick beeps if the GPU was plugged in and the BIOS would change from the Aorus logo to an American Trends text-only version. With the GPU disconnected, I would boot without issues.

I bought the PCI bifurcation option and it appears that I must enable PCI bifurcation (8x/8x) in order to actually boot. Just FYI in case anyone may be running into the same issue.

Hello,

I have a running Z390 Pro Wifi ITX system running with Catalina 10.15.6. Everything worked nice. Only the USB Port have not the full speed. Have everyone here a USB Mapping for this board or do you know how can I fix it properly?

Thanks for your help
