Hackintosh Guide - Catalina / Big Sur / Monterey on Mobos Series 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 with OpenCore Bootloader

[ultrazone]

[ref]ultrazone[/ref], dsdt is mandatory for one good hack, ever

 

Ok so... do you have the patches to apply in MaciASL for my mobo, so I can patch my original DSDT?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]ultrazone[/ref], use run_me.app for dump and check ur ioreg, apply all

[becoolio]

First, stay with one USB Stick bootable for rescue if need or use EFI folder in USB Stick bootable with MacOs

*If u have a DSDT patched for Clover, don't use, need patch again for OC

1- Mount EFI partition and paste full EFI folder

https://Olarila.com/files/Clover.Folder/EFI%20OpenCore%200.5.3%20Serie%20100.200.300.zip

2- Reboot

3- Extract Send_me for full DSDT patch, run this app

RunMe.app

4- Put DSDT.aml in OC/ACPI

 

Please help me setup my files for Opencore.

Send me MacBook-Pro.zip

Im trying to redo DSDT and setup the OC folder.

When I use your OC folder I get KP

I have been using Clover, It’s just that most people who get the DW1820A wireless card to work use Opencore so I wanted to get it working.

The wireless card works with Clover but freeze after 5 - 10 minutes.

Hi,

First some background information:

I've been having problems with Clover for the last year, it worked but not flawlessly so I left it there.

There was a recurring problem with the AptioFixes from build 48xx and up. Before these problems I had installed and configured Clover multiple times from scratch with succes (using only Clover Configurator)… Because It’s getting clear to me OpenCore is the future and much cleaner than Clover I decided to figure out if it is usable…

I've been trying to install Catalina for days using opencore using this setup and could not get it to work. (Stuck on boot before initialising kernel using -v)

I found a pre-build OC EFI folder for a different motherboard (I'm using a MSI z370m Gaming Pro AC, the EFI folder was build for a MSI B360 Mortar) and it booted and installed immediately. But of course it's not perfect.

Would you like to take a look at the used EFI folder?

And can you help me get up to speed with doing the post-install procedure?

The problems I have are:

- No onboard audio (not a problem, speakers are connected trough the monitor, they work)

- Crash on shutdown/restart (it will shutdown/restart as normal but at boot I get a popup that my system was shutdown due to a problem)

- Not all USB ports are working

- No FusionDrive support in OpenCore (I think this is because AfpsDriverLoader.efi does not support FusionDrives at this moment, not a problem but it would be nice if it works)

Things I still like to do myself when all is working:

- create new SMBIOS info

- try and activate FileVault later on

- Send me (from runme.app)

- EFI Folder (I downloaded for the MSI B360 Mortar)

- Shutdown crash report (generated after reboot)

EDIT: the used EFI folder is from here: https://github.com/SuperNG6/MSI-B360-10.14.6-EFI/tree/OpenCore

EDIT2: Things that do work but never worked well on Clover

- Boot is much faster

- Using AirPlay screen to Apple TV

- Bluetooth is stable (with clover it stoped connecting to devices once in a while, maybe this is because of the fresh install)

- much lower latency on my build in ethernet (from about 20ms to 0ms ping to router)

My hardware:

MSI z370m Gaming Pro AC - latest firmware (older firmware also did not work so I updated)

i5 8400

16GB ram

Saphire AMD RX580

iGPU BIOS setting: startup on PEG, IGPU enabled 64m

Stuck on (maybe) the same reboot loop as I started off with the first time I used the Olarila folder...

Replaced the EFI back to the MSI B360 one and booted again...

videos from startup (slomo):

FULL BOOT (including bios post) (60MB)

Thanks for trying to help me! You rock

EDIT2:

First ERROR I could find in the verbose log:

ACPI Error: [\_SB_.PCI0.SATA] namespace lookup failure.......

After this it's full with errors

(02:05 in full video)

(00:09 in verbose video)

EDIT:

- I mounted the EFI

- Replaced the EFI/OC and EFI/BOOT with the Olarila one

- Added the DSDT.aml to the ACPI folder

- Rebooted

- entered the reboot loop

- Used a USB to SATA cable to revert back to the B360 EFI/OC + EFI/BOOT (with MacBook)

- Booted with no problem (other problems from previous post still exist of course)

EDIT3:

Things I already tried

1:

- build my own OC EFI folder using the getting started tutorial

- just didn't boot OpenCore

2:

- Tried again to build OC EFI Folder using same getting started (I probably forgot something the first time)

- Booted OC and tied to install

- Did not boot kernel of installer

- Installed MacOS on SSD using MacBook and USB to SATA Cable

- Also did not boot kernel

3: Tried Olarila folder from this post

- tried installer (no boot)

- tried SSD with MacOS (no boot)

4: The MSI B360 EFI

- Booted installer, installed without a problem (except the installer was in Russian so I changed the language)

- Booted OS

5: Posted on this forum and got your response

- Swapped EFI back to Olarila EFI

- added the DSDT.aml to ACPI folder

- no boot (MacOS is already installed on SSD)

6: back to the MSI B360 EFI

- Booted again

X:

- I always put EFI directly on a SSD (SSD 1) (internal SATA)

- I used the installer directly from different SSD (SSD 2) (connected trough internal SATA)

- MacOS is installed on SSD 1

Sorry for all the post edits, but I thought giving as much information as possible could be helpful)

Hi,I have downloaded Olarila Catalina image.

I have Gigabyte z390 Gaming M motherboard + i5 9400f, I will write the image to the flashdrive and after that, do I still need to copy files for it to boot?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]wastedbrain[/ref], no, image have all inside efi partition

[wastedbrain]

Hi [ref]MaLd0n[/ref],

Thank you for the response. I downloaded the Olarila Image for Catalina but when I was in the process of installation, an error came up. Says the installer is damaged.

I used 7zip to extract the file and BalenaEtcher to write the image to my flash drive.

Also, is there a minimum for the donation?

[MaLd0n]

[ref]wastedbrain[/ref], download and burn again, check if download is finished

donation is free, as much as you want

[wastedbrain]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref],

Managed to install and now using it, thanks to your guide. Just a minor problem at the moment - my audio is not working :/

Based on your avatar, we have the same motherboard. Can you help me make the audio work?

Thanks.
