ASUS B360G Gaming / I5-9400f / Sapphire RX 5700 Pulse 8GB / Samsung 970 Evo NVMe

[Nexxusone]

My Work in Progress Hackintosh ASUS B360G gaming mATX Bios 1703 - macOS 10.15.3 Beta 1 on m2. Nvme 256GB

 

Boots direct to Apple Logo, then login (No Clover GUI) Catalina 10.15.3 Beta 1.

 

POST install EFI is Clover 5100 with NO GUI and verbose off, so boots straight to Apple Logo (Open Core being explored) - SMBios iMacPro1.1.

 

For the PRE install USB, it requires Clover r5092 IF using gibmacOS or will get No internet error, due to the installer requiring internet.

 

App Store Catalina and terminal created install media will work with Clover 5100, once installed gibmacOS works with Clover 5100

 

Everything works or is disabled via dsdt.aml file in clover, with lots of help from the main moderator / owner of forums.

UPDATE

Changed Rx480 4GB to same brand Sapphire RX 5700 Pulse 8GB - this required agdpmod=pikera as a boot argument flag, as booted to logo then displayed no screen but could hear the failed user login noise....

use clover install usb - manually typed in agdpmod=pikera as a boot argument - then boot to the OSX drive (not usb) and use clover config to add agdpmod=pikera into config.plist and saved back to boot ssd.

Now boots fine, I know I could have just removed the WEG.kext but thats for future investigation.

[Nexxusone]

UPDATE: macOS 10.15.2 Beta 4 Post install Clover r5100 and deleted all boot arguments and removed WEG.kext , updated all Kexts and slimmed down to my hard ware specific kexts only.

enables fast boot -1 in boot in clover configurator - so goes straight to apple logo then login - no clover gui.

Ran Hackintool and corrected a few outdated kexts and proximity wake in power was set to 1 and now zero.

so far No random reboots.

Ran it all night with intel power gadget running + playing a video on loop. still running rock solid this morning - 8hrs later...

[Nexxusone]

UPDATE: Now on 10.15.2 public release , seems fine same kexts / drivers / clover etc.

Also 1015.2 public release allows you to install with rx5700 plugged in, unlike some earlier 10.15.1 versions

Update:

Added a VA panel 144 mhz 1ms 32" WQHD 2K Monitor via display port to replace my 24" 1080p HDMI monitor (Early xmas present)

Config.plist from scratch for my hardware not universal 100/ 200 / 300 chipset folder.

My Kexts slimmed down to my hardware only and updated (compiled) to latest DEV releases

mapped my USB ports

Via Appstore Beta program, Update Catalina to 10.15.3 Beta 1 from Desktop.

All seems o.k

Last update:

Added WhatsEverGreen.kext 1.3.6 to fix HEVC as apple for now disabled it.

Added a Logitech k780 keyboard (windows / Mac / iOS /android support and tablet and a Logitech MX master Mouse, both plug n play using just 1 unifying receiver.

I will probably not update this anymore until a Major revision of macOS released as I now consider my machine stable.

I used the olarila clover 100 200 300 chipset zip EFI with slight mods to config.plist to suit my hardware.

with the new 10.15.4 Beta my Hack has been on now over 24+ hours - Auto screen saver at 5 mins and 5 mins later  auto put to sleep @ 00:50 and Mouse wiggle to wake @ 7.20am and HELLO.... one fully awake -  working Hack ....

used for day watching videos /play/ make USB / compile Kexts etc, leaving to idle and sleep , also set caffeinated app for a hour , it keeps Hack awake for hour, the screen after 5 and then sleep, wakes up fine every time.

and NOT A single reboot /kernal panic in over 24+ hours... HAPPY

for once Apple listened - as this was a complaint on apple forum, about VXTDecoderXPCservice Kernel Panic, side effect helps us Navi users on our Hackintoshes.
