Hi again! I have made some changes to this project and finally it is fully working. Changes: Update OC to 0.7.5 Switch to FakeSMC No battery SSDT needed Dual boot with MacOS High Sierra and Windows 10 Creating EFI folder Step 1: Kexts and Drivers folders Download OpenCorePkg last release. Also download these kexts: Lilu FakeSMC (and FakeSMC plugins) AppleALC WhatEverGreen VoodooPS2Controller AtherosL1cEthernet BrcmPatchRAM (BrcmFirmwareData and BrcmPatchRAM2) AirportBrcmFixup mXHCD ACPIBatteryManager BrightnessKeys ECEnabler USBMapLegacy Copy all of them to Kexts folder. Also download AptioInputFix.efi file and copy it to Drivers folder. Note: HfsPlus.efi not used, HfsPlusLegacy.efi instead. Step 2: ACPI folder SSDT-EC.aml (Create an EC device, preserves EC0 device) SSDT-FNKeys.aml (_Q11 and _Q12 methods for brightness keys map) https://www.olarila.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=32541 SSDT-HPET.aml (Corrected IRQ flags) (You will create later) SSDT-IMEI-S.aml (Fake IMEI device) (You will create later) SSDT-PM.aml (TurboBoost CPU) (You will create later) SSDT-PNLF.aml (For brightness) (You will create later) SSDT-SBUS-MCHC.aml (Fake SBUS device) SSDT-XOSI.aml Step 3: Preparing config.plist Follow Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide for Sandy Bridge Laptop. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ Renames needed: HPET _CRS to XCRS Rename RTC IRQ 8 Patch TIMR IRQ 0 Patch EHC1 to EH01 EHC2 to EH02 _Q11 to XQ11 (FNKeys) _Q12 to XQ12 (FNKeys) To activate sound, inject 12 layout through DeviceProperties. Add Windows 10 entry to OC Press space on picker screen in OC and select OpenShell.efi Take a screenshoot of your screen (you should see multiple FSX, where X is a number) Type "FSX:" (where X is the number of Microsoft EFI partition). A fast discover is typing "cd EFI/Microsoft", if it exists you have the correct number. Once you have the correct number, go to MacOS, go to Misc->Entries in config.plist and set your correct path. Save and reboot. Note: Remember to set your serial and the rest in PlatformInfo->Generic DOWNLOAD EFI

Try this one! EFI OC 070 Haswell Remember to fill your serial number and rest options with yours! Also need to add igpu to device properties.

I do not use wifi on this pc. I suspect it is the same way as Big Sur... @MaLd0n can you confirm that?

Updated to Monterey Beta 1. Update EFI to OC 0.7.0 and last kexts.

Update to 11.3 SMBIOS: moved to MacPro7,1 (No USB renames needed) Updated BIOS to rev 3801 Updated OP with new BIOS settings Update OpenCore to 0.6.8 Update EFI on OP Upgrade to 64 GB RAM Edit: I forgot to add a port on XHC0 at 61500000, so I called PT10 to make my Corsair H115i appear again. I upload only the kext. USBMap.kext.zip

I am back again with a new computer! Specs: CPU: intel i9 9900K RAM: 32 GB DDR4 2400MHz iGPU: UHD 630 dGPU: Nvidia GTX 1650 4GB DDR5 (planning to move to RX 5700 XT Shappire Nitro+) SSD: 480 GB Wifi/Bluetooth: BCM94352HMB Everything is working as expected. Notes: No motherboard sound. Only HDMI sound. If you want it, inject alcid=1. Disabled dGPU through SSDT for Mac.

Why switchable graphics DO NOT work? All MacBookAir and MacBookPro with switchable graphics have a mux chip, changing iGPU to dGPU (or viceversa). Both GC are connected to LVDS directly. However, this laptop has no mux chip, so we CAN'T emulate the behaviour of this chip. If we fake it, it simply does not work. In addition, dGPU of this laptop is connected to iGPU (instead of LVDS connector), that's why we can activate LVDS for dGPU WITHOUT disabling iGPU. The original ACPI code for this chip under _SB.PCI0.LPCB path is: Device (GMUX) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP000B")) Name (_CID, "gmux") Name (_STA, 0x0B) Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () { IO (Decode16, 0x0700, // Range Minimum 0x07FF, // Range Maximum 0x01, // Alignment 0xFF, // Length ) }) Name (_PRW, Package (0x02) { 0x15, 0x03 }) Scope (\_GPE) { Method (_L35, 0, NotSerialized) { Notify (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.GMUX, 0x80) } } Method (_PSW, 1, NotSerialized) { If (Arg0) { And (\GP22, 0xFB, \GP22) } Else { Or (\GP22, 0x04, \GP22) } } Name (GMGP, 0x35) Method (GMLV, 0, NotSerialized) { Return (GP22) } } In case you have "Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP000B"))" reference on your DSDT, switchable graphics MAY work. Dual Boot: MacOS and Windows ACPI BIOS Error is most probable error you are going to find. This error is due to renames on DSDT, i.e. battery patch. I am preparing a full DSDT solution for dual boot, based on OSYS variable. The main problem I am facing is defining OperationRegions in BAT0 device depending of OSYS value. When the work is finished, I will publish it. PS: Other solution is pressing F12 when power up and select windows partition, not using OpenCore to boot windows.

Hi everyone! If you have red my Catalina post, you realised it is not a good enough project, so I decided to install High Sierra (10.13.6).

However, what happens with AMD GPU? HDMI and VGA DO NOT WORK. Windows tasks: Follow installation part from Catalina's guide for installing modded BIOS: EXTRACT VBIOS.ROM Thanks to MrTrucker: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277042-amd-radeon-hd-6650m-graphics-enabler-dsdt-hdmi-audio-acer-aspire-7750g-2674g50mnkk-gradients-fixed/?do=findComment&comment=1845018 Once you have VBIOS.rom file, download rom_dsdt_converter.zip and extract it. Then, open cmd, drop rom_dsdt_converter.exe to cmd, type a space and drop VBIOS.rom to cmd. Press Enter and a txt file is created. Open it and delete all "0x" using find and replace. Place txt file to a FAT32 USB and reboot on macOS. macOS tasks: Open IORegistryExplorer and look for "display0" inside "IGPU" device (if you don't use whatevergreen kext, device name is GFX0). Click on child AppleBackLightDisplay, look for IODisplayEDID Value content. We need this. Open you config.plist with a plist editor. Add a new child on DeviceProperties->Add.

Now, if you go to Screen Preferences you can select the screen with specific GPU. Manual switch of graphic cards video SSDT-PowerButton.aml

On old chips, I recommend use restore method installation.

Updated to 12.2.2. Same EFI. Also prepared a new EFI 0.6.6 with 11.3 patches. https://imgur.com/1bUknQ1

Yes, this conf should work in Big Sur.

I am glad to help you! With respect to your problem, have you tried USBInjectAll.kext? Other way to this is creating your own USB kext. No, I didn't face it. I am happy you realized what I want to say. With those mobos, installation is not so easy as it seems. Restore mode is the only way I have found to make BS works on this old hardware.

Updated to 11.2.1. Same EFI. https://imgur.com/0tFPb97

The main aim of creating a patched DSDT is make the more similar as posible as real Mac (I choose iMacPro1,1). For example, you use PX40 (real name on our DSDT), I renamed to LPCB. Same with USB devices. You can use this method: Did I face with 12 minutes error? Yes. What I did? I installed BS on separately SDD in other PC (I have 3) and when finished, I changed EFI to GB-EFI. That works for me. It takes a while to boot, at least 1 minute and a half.

Hi, all gb ex58 (rev 1.0) have same DSDT. So, we have the same. The 12 minutes problem happened to me too. I used restore install method (I have installed BS on other PC, then change the SSD to this PC). As you mention, reboot function works for you, unlucky me. I am going to analyse if there is any difference. You KP is related with IOGraphicsFamily.kext, try to remove whatevergreen.kext. Remember Nvidia GT 710 is a Kepler graphic card, so it is natively supported. Install with USB was imposible for me, I used restore /install method to get it work. Then, use your EFI. I think it is correct. Don't worry about writing here, I am here to help.

Updated to 11.2. Same EFI. https://imgur.com/a/wIXcJe2

If you have an amd cpu in your laptop, you can't use macOS. Update to 11.2 with same EFI (yep, still on oc 0.6.2)

Update to 11.1. Same EFI

Update to MacOS 11.1. Same EFI.

Remove this kext. Use Kernel->Emulate->DummyPowerManagement. Use agdpmod=pikera boot-flag for your graphics. NVRAM -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 ->boot-args

Try this! Please, read all posts if you don't have same motherboard as mine.

I have successfully installed macOS Big Sur 11.1 Beta Specs: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 F13 BIOS Intel Core i7 920 Nvidia GeForce GT 710 2GB Full patched DSDT but reboot does not work. Use install/restore installation. Download EFI Screenshots:

Have you tried with that?? https://github.com/chris1111/AtherosL1cEthernet

Hi, I have decided to upload the hole project. It was very instructive to me. This EFI is made with SSDTs based on a patched DSDT. Download EFI All patches except Intel HD 3000, no way to introduce correctly AAPL00,DualLink = 01000000 via SSDT, nor DeviceProperties, in Catalina. If I switch to High Sierra, it simply works. Anyway, there is also a configAMD.plist for High Sierra where AMD graphics is fully recognised recognised. I have extracted the VBIOS.rom and converted to OC patch, with patched frambuffer (LVDS, HDMI and VGA) using lotus FB (also tried Ipoemea) but switchable graphics simply don't work. I also tried a third way. I have created a semi-patched DSDT, that means that I have introduced some patches using If/Else loop taking account OSYS variable, where OS is converted to an hex number. However, I have faced too many problems using this method. So, at the end, I have switched back to full patched DSDT and use f12 to boot macOS. CLOSED PROJECT
