AudioGod's ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING - Big Sur & Monterey Beta - OpenCore 0.7.4 EFI

[lukakeiton]

Good work! I would like to try it. Does sleep and awakening work correctly? For my GPU Radeon RX 5700XT should I set agdpmod = ignore? Thanks

For me, it works! See my previous usb post to download whatever kext you need (if you are using Intel bt/wifi or pcie adapter bt/wifi)

As far as I’ve red into dortania’s guide, yes, you should use this flag.
Another flag has been appeared "applbkl=3", that "Enable PWM backlight control of AMD Radeon RX 5000 series graphic cards".

I hope this info helps you. Otherwise, let me know and we can find together the answer!

Thanks. First attempt failed. Booting OpenCore reboots to Bios. I need to check the USB folder structure according to OpenCore Debugging. Otherwise I use everything as I have it in Signature. If I can't find the error, maybe it would be a good idea to send you the EFi to help me find the errorsI will let you know

 

[Pabo]

So I managed to install it. I have checked it via OCAuxilliaryTools, updated what was needed and everything was OK so far.

What Works:
Sound Including The Case's Front Headphones 3.5mm Port
Ethernet Lucy RTL8125
WiFi / Bluetooth
USB Type C, 3.0 & 2.0 (All Ports Mapped & Open)
Sleep & Wake (for now)
Sleep and Shutdown Via The Power Button
Airdrop
iCloud
imssages
Appletv
Netflix via Safari
Handoff
Apple Watch Unlock

Webcamera via iPhone not tested yet
I will test everything and inform.
@lukakeiton You did a good job!

I think that your mistake is related to bios settings. Also check your config.plist .

Sure! Upload it and post here so people, not only me, can help you.

By the way, can you post your specifications?

I send you my EFI, adjust according to your PC (I don't know your components) according to the instructions from @lukakeiton. Good luck

Thanks you so much. I have the same Pc.

Curious if this is an EFI issue or something else. Since Monterey i've had issues with my access to an external NTFS drive essentially 'timing out' after a few hours. Sleep doesn't seem to matter. This is what happens when I open the drive info tab. Thing is, I have another external drive also using NTFS that has no issues whatsover. It's weird. Tuxera also doesn't seem to help. It's got ALOT of info on there so really want to avoid wiping if I can. Checked to see if it was permissions and It doesn't appear to be the case.

I've been rebooting which fixes it but only temporarily.
Thanks in advance!

I use Microsoft NTFS for Mac and had no troubles. It is a paid software but zero problems.

Install Notes
Using PlistEdit Pro, Xcode or ProperTree add your details by modifying the following

WIFI / BLUETOOTH​

IF NOT USING A BROADCOM INTEL-WIFI PCI-E CARD

If you are using internal Intel wifi-bluetooth, use Intel wifi-bluetooth kext. Just enable the two intel-related entries under Kernel -> Add and disable the two entries which start with Brcm. Also rename USBMap.kext to USBMap(Broadcom).kext and rename USBMap(with Intel BT).kextUSBMap(with Intel BT).kext to USBMap.kext

GPU​

IF NOT USING AMD RX 6950 XT SERIES

Remove EFI/OC/ACPI/SSDT-GPU-6950XT.aml and remove it from conflig.plist ( ACPI -> Add ).

IF NOT USING AMD RDN2 GRAPHIC CARD

Remove agdpmod=pikera from bootflags.

CPU​

IMPORTANT - PATCH INFO FOR SETTING THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the two algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.

Changing BA000000 0000/BA000000 0090* to BA <CoreCount> 0000 0000/BA <CoreCount> 0000 0090* substituting <CoreCount> with the hexadeciamal value matching your physical core count.

Note: The three different values reflect the patch for different versions of macOS. Be sure to change all three if you boot macOS 10.13 to macOS 12

See the table below for the values matching your CPU Core Count.

CoreCount	Hexadecimal
6 Core	06
8 Core	08
12 Core	0C
16 Core	10
32 Core	20

So for example a 6 Core 5600X would result in these replace values, BA 06 0000 0000/BA 06 0000 0090
Or a 12 Core 5900X that I have it setup as standard would result in these replace values, BA 0C 0000 0000/BA 0C 0000 0090

Remember you need to update your kexts before updating to Ventura.

 

[coralding]

I have update the kexts to the newest edition (using HackinDROM app). I don't think its the kexts problem. If I use your OC 0.87 EFI, and change the WiFi Bluetooth Card to intel, the first time it can enter the MacOS Monterey, but it need many time power on, restart about 6~7times，it can log in. but the second time after many cycle the screen show MacOS support......, Then it cann't boot successful.

Try to disable wifi and bluetooth kext from my EFI plus whatever changes you have made.

Can you post your specifications and a photo of your log adding to boot-args -v?

 

[coralding]

Hi, This is My EFI modified from you, change to Intel WiFi，at the second time，it stop at the MacOS Log in，after Log in the system reboot, at the third time it Log in successfully. but the ethernet seems linked, but the internet speed is very slow. and most time it reboot to the OC pick windows or Monterey, repeat many times. I don't know why.

 

[coralding]

One more thing my MacOS SSD is on a PCI-E adapter card insert on PCI-E*4 Slot, whether it can affect the problem? Now I using EFI don't have NVMefix.kext, SMCRadeonGPU.kext, SMCAMDProcessor.kext and RadeonSensor.kext. It works fine in Monterey 12.6.2, but it cann't upgrate to Ventura. when update it struck on [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START].

 

[lukakeiton]

When you are using my efi, have you reset nvram?
