Wifi / Bootpicker and NVRAM reset option issues

[Runi]

Hi,

I have recently successfully done the OCLP method and the machine is running smooth for most part. But there are a few issues i would like to resolve.

1. WiFi.
Even though i have done the OCLP and Bluetooth is working well, my wifi is still unable to turn on, i just have the ! mark in the wifi icon. Do i need to use som additional kext files in junction with ioskywalk and ioskyfamily kext files? (there should be a screenshot of my kexts)
I use the BCM943602CS model installed.

2. bootpicker.
I want to use a external bootpicker instead of the builtin one.
But when i have it set to external, it just flashes briefly before my eyes before it starts booting. I want it to pause for a few seconds, so i can make my choice. when in builtin i halts for 5 seconds.

3. NVRAM
for some reason this option is gone in the opencore, where you could select to have it show or not. So in my case it is not showing and i can not turn it on. I t says in the opencore manual that is should be by default a primary auxiliary.

Does anyone have suggestions for me about what i can do to fix these things.

My computer setup is a ASUS X299 Prime Deluxe II, Intel i9-9900x CPU, Radeon Vega 64 GPU.

My current working efi is attached.

@Runi

AMFIPass.kext 1.3.0 needs amfi=0x80 in boot args. Get AMFIPass.kext 1.4.0, no need of amfi=0x80.

Put IOSkywalkFamily.kext before IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext and AirPortBrcmNIC.kext in config.plist.

Try these settings in Misc >> Boot:

            <key>HibernateSkipsPicker</key>
            <false/>
            <key>PickerAttributes</key>
            <integer>144</integer>
            <key>PickerMode</key>
            <string>External</string>
            <key>PickerVariant</key>
            <string>Default</string>
            <key>ShowPicker</key>
            <true/>
            <key>TakeoffDelay</key>
            <integer>0</integer>
            <key>Timeout</key>
            <integer>5</integer>

ResetNvramEntry.efi is now a separate driver, I don't know why isn't displayed in the picker, I see it into the Drivers folder. As a workaround, open Terminal in macOS and run

sudo nvram -c

But actually I don't se the reason for this entry not be displayed.

I'm having the exact same issue. Followed @miliuco 's post above. The wi-fi is still disabled.

@Runi did you fix your issue ?

I have gotten my wifi and bluetooth back, but i had to ditch the effort off getting this OCLP method to work.
In stead i followed this guide to revert the method and use these kexts instead, AirportItlwm.kext and OpenIntelWireless together with bluetoolfixup.
Now all is working perfectly again.
