Hi everyone!
After days of frustration and pain (with almost no sleep), I finally got Big Sur running on my machine.
Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AppleID, iMessages, etc. fully functional.
New iMessages show up, but I will not be able to sync message history until I get WiFi going. I am ordering the compatible WiFi/BT card and will update you on the WiFi status when I have it installed. UPDATE: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth working with this card: Amazon
I have not tried Monterey, and probably won't for awhile because I don't want risk it. I worked too hard!
UPDATE: I went ahead and updated to Monterey using software update just like a normal user would. Worked perfectly and Monterey fixed an issue I had in Big Sur, where incoming phone calls would freeze my computer.
Setup in signature. Attached is my EFI. Add unfairgva=1 to the boot args if you need to fix DRM
I hope someone finds this useful as I could not find any info about this setup anywhere and endured much trial and error to get it working.
Good luck!
