BIOS Configuration

Recommend you should Load Optimized Default first. Then save and restart and go to BIOS again.

Tweaker:

Extreme Memory Profile: Profile 1
Advanced CPU Settings:
- Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled

Settings:

Platform Power:
- ErP: Disable
- Power Loading: Enabled
IO Ports:
- Initial Display Output: PCIe 1 Slot
- Above 4G Decoding: Enabled
- Above 4G MMIO BIOS assignment: Disabled (Will cause the issue with 2nd sleep)
- Super IO Configuration → Serial Port: Disabled (Will cause the issue with Apple Watch unlock)

USB Mapping

USB Map is done by SSDT-USBP.aml. Can be used for AX motherboard with Intel wireless card.

CPU Power Management

CPU power management is handled with CPUFriend and CPUFriendDataProvider for SMBIOS MacPro7,1. If you have CPU Geekbench score is lower than me, please check your BIOS configuration. If BIOS is correct, the single score and multi score almost should be liked the result picture.

iService

To use iMessage and other Apple services, you need to generate your own serial numbers. This can be done using CorpNewt's GenSMBIOS. Make sure model is MacPro7,1. Then, go Apple Check Coverage page to check your generated serial numbers. If the website tells you that the serial number is not valid, that is fine. Otherwise, you have to generate a new set.
Next you will have to copy the following values to your config.plist:
- Serial Number -> PlatformInfo/Generic/SystemSerialNumber.
- Board Number -> PlatformInfo/Generic/MLB.
- SmUUID -> /PlatformInfo/Generic/SystemUUID. Reboot and Apple services should work.
If they don't, follow this in-depth guide. It goes deeper into ROM, clearing NVRAM, clearing Keychain (missing this step might cause major issues), and much more.

macOS Sonoma

Note: This guide is for Apple wifi card only. For Intel wifi card, please check OpenIntelWireless repo for more information.

Preparation:
- OpenCore is the latest version.
- Download these kexts here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/832423433488171038/1158424870380654682/IO80211_Legacy_Sonoma.zip
- Extract .zip file and put 2 kexts to OC/Kexts folder.
- Open config.plist and snapshot one time.
  - System Integrity Protection is set to 0x803
    - csr-active-config | Data | 03080000
    - Reset NVRAM or add csr-active-config to Delete to ensure new variable is set.
  - AMFI is disabled
    - boot-arg | string | amfi=0x80
  - SecureBootModel is set to Disabled.
  - Kernel > Block:
    - Identifier: com.apple.iokit.IOSkywalkFamily
    - Comment: Allow IOSkywalkFamily Downgrade
    - Enabled: True
    - Strategy: Exclude
    - MinKernel: 23.0.0 (Important, apply on Sonoma only)
  - Make sure IOSkywalk.kext and IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext and its child AirPortBrcmNIC.kext are injected. Also, set all MinKernel to 23.0.0 (apply on Sonoma only).
- Restart the machine.
Installation:
- Download the latest version of OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
- Copy OCLP to Application folder and run it.
- If everything is correct, you can click the Post-Install Root Patch button to start patching.

Finish
- Then restart the machine. The wifi should be worked. If not, try to reset NVRAM and reset network settings. You can follow here for the network reset guide.

CPU Topology Rebuild

-ctrsmt boot arg makes E-Cores to be recognized as the 3-way SMT logical threads of the P-Cores. That means with my i7-12700F, I will have 8 cores and 20 threads on macOS. This boot-arg can fix Xcode app building.
More informations can be found at here. Thanks to b00t0x for his amazing work.

Never wake up from second sleep

I'm facing now issue with sleep and wake up,
first time the case and processor fans off and the screen putted in stand by mode, and it's wake up successfully by mouse click or bluetooth keyboard tap.

but in second time the case and processor fans not off and the screen putted in stand by mode, but never wake up by mouse or keyboard even remove and insert HDMI Cable or turn screen off and on again.

USB randomly stop working

I bought a hackintosh machine online, seller's technicians also configured the opencore.

mainboard: gigabyte b660m aorus pro d4
cpu: 13700kf
graphics card: amd 6600xt

There is a problem that bothers me, that is, the keyboard and mouse will suddenly not working. At this time, all usbs are not working, and it is useless to unplug and plug again. But the computer is still working. This happens about once a day.

I asked the seller's technicians and they were not sure what the problem was either, they tried change the kext of usb mapping from USBToolBox.kext to USBPorts.kext. The frequency of this problem has decreased, and this problem has only happened once in the past few days.

I checked the relevant information on the Internet, some said it was a problem with the Gigabyte motherboard, and some said it was a problem caused by Bluetooth.

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/gigabyte-z690-aero-g-i5-12600k-amd-rx-6800-xt.317179/page-235#post-2361106
https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/lvlc88/usb_randomly_stops_working/

In the situation that only happened once these days, I found the bluetoothd crash reports.

So do you have any idea?

你好，请问睡眠唤醒后网卡变成半双工是什么原因呢？

ACPI Error with some PXSXs.

Hi. I'm trying monterey 12.5 to my system, but i could not watch even installation page.
Can you help my case?

I have very similar system to yours,

CPU : i5-12600k
M/B: Aorus B660M Pro DDR4
Mem: G.Skill Trident 16GB * 2
SSD: SN750 * 2, Sandisk Blue SATA SSD * 1
Bios Version: F6a

ACPI Error: [SB.PC00.RP02.PXSX] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/dswload2-274)

No Local Variables are initialized for method [PXSX]

ACPI Error: [_SB_PC00.RP10.PXSX] Namespace Lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/dswload2-274)

after last ACPI Error is printed, my PC stucks.
I googled this error but i couldn't get answer. Did you faced this error or similar error while installing macOS?

And in Readme.md, you wrote your M/B's bios version is F20a, but in gigabyte hompage, there is F6a for latest bios.
Is F20a really your bios version? If it is true, can you share me F20a bios for Aorus B660M Pro DDR4?

Need more test on some Aorus B660M Mobo

Recently with some basic researching, I found that my EFI maybe can work on the following mobos:

B660M AORUS PRO AX
B660M AORUS PRO
B660M AORUS PRO AX DDR4
If anyone has one of those mobo, please feel free to test and let me know the result.
Cheer.

does it work for b760m-arous-elite-ax?

Road to Sonoma

How do you doing ? hope you are well.
did you upgrade to Sonoma! and if you did , there is any issues ?

Why Serial Port enabled

Super IO Configuration > Serial Port: Enabled
but I search from internet, many documents recommends the Serial Port set to be disabled, so why you set it to be enabled.

USB Type C connectivity issues

Hi,
Thank you for your awesome work :-)

I was facing some weird connectivity issue with some of my devices.

It seems that the type c port on the back of the motherboard is working only in USB 3.0+ standards, and not recognizing devices that support only USB 2.0 or prior.
Is there a way to fix this?
