macOS Big Sur / OC 0.6.0

I have successfully installed macOS Big Sur. This config is based on OC 0.6.0 which is not yet released.

Currently it is not possible to install macOS Big Sur on Hackintosh. But you can install it using a real mac.

To install macOS Big Sur, you have to install it on a real mac and then move the drive into your hackintosh. With my EFI you should then be able to boot macOS Big Sur.

I used my MacBook Pro 16 to install macOS Big Sur on an external SSD. After the installation I put the SSD back to my Z490 Hackintosh and could boot it from there.

Changed to darkwake=8 to Fix Sleep/Wake issues

Although I read that darkwake=8 should be obsolete since Mojave, it helps to keep my PC sleeping.

I have tested it multiple times and over a couple of days. I also tested with other darkwake values like darkwake=0, 2 or no darkwake. But only darkwake=8 keeps my PC sleeping.

Also check my Readme.md again. I have added a new section on how to fix/sleep and how to properly configure your USB-ports.

CleanedUp the config and improved Sleep/Wake

Hi guys,

I have just realized that all my previous releases contained old files that weren't actually in my build anymore. Github was just adding new files but not deleting the ones I didn't use anymore. Many ACPI-files that I didn't use from v1.1 on...

I am sorry but I have to get used to GitHub too :)

So this is a major update and you should update to this version to have a more cleaned up config. All previous releases contained a lot of files I didn't really use in my build anymore.

• Deleted unused files
• Added SSDT-Disable-CNVW.aml. This disables the slot where the onboard Intel Wifi 6 sits because this was causing my PC to wake up randomly. Thanks to "JimSalabim" from the hackintosh-forum.de. It is the same he is using on his Gigabyte Z390 Designare.

OpenCore 0.5.9

• Updated to OpenCore 0.5.9
• Sanity check: Cleaned up the config with sanity checker
• Added BT4LEContiunityFixup.kext
• Changed iGPU settings. HDMI-output is still not working. Help appreciated! I won't invest anymore time in it because I don't use my iGPU as my rendering results with DaVinci Resolve are faster with the GPU (Radeon VII) only.
• My standard config config.plistis now using SMBIOS=iMacPro1,1. Use this if you want to use your dGPU-only. You should disable your iGPU in your BIOS.
• config_iMac19,1.plist is using SMBIOS=iMac19,1. Use this if you want to use your iGPU as well. You need to enable it in your BIOS.

iGPU and NVMeFix.kext added

With this release there are two versions of the config.plist:

• config.plist: With SMBIOS=iMac19,1 and iGPU enabled. The UHD630 is shown properly in MacOS and Hackintool, but HDMI is not working yet. I guess this is because there are no Framebuffer-patches available yet. The iGPU has the Platform-ID: 0x9BC50003.
• config_dGPU only, iMacPro1,1.plist: With SMBIOS=iMacPro1,1 and no iGPU enabled. You should also disable your iGPU in the BIOS when you use this config. Just rename it to "config.plist" if you want to use this config.

I also added NVMeFix.kext.

Optimization and Default Keyboard/Language to EN-US

• Deleted ApfsDriverLoader.kext as this is not required since OC 0.5.8 anymore. Instead we have a APFSsection UEFI .
• Deleted ACPI/SSDT-PMC.aml as this is not required.
• Changed Default Keyboard/Language from de:3 (German) to en-US:0. You can change this in NVRAM-Add-7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 with the setting prev-lang:kbd | String | en-US:0.

Valid layouts are here: AppleKeyboardLayouts.txt

• Added ACPI/SSDT-PLUG.aml for native CPU-Power Management (but I don't know it is there already. PM seems fine to me according to what I see in Intel Power Gadget).

• Changed Misc-Boot-Timeout back to 5.

Added 2.5Gbit Ethernet Support (Intel I225-V)

Added support for the 2.5Gbit Ethernet (Intel I225-V).

1. Added device properties:

<dict>
	<key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1C,0x1)/Pci(0x0, 0x0)</key>
	<dict>
		<key>device-id</key>
		<data>8hUAAA==</data>
	</dict>
</dict>

2. Created a custom FakeID-kext "FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext".

Deleted BT4LEContiunityFixup.kext

• Deleted BT4LEContiunityFixup.kext as this was just for test purposes of a different Wifi/BT card

1Gbit Ethernet, Thunderbolt 3, USB, Radeonboost.kext

• Changed the SMBIOS to iMac19,1
• Added Radeonboost.kext to improve Graphic performance
• Added support for Thunderbolt 3 including Hot-plug support
• Added support for the 1Gbit Ethernet Connection (Intel I219-V), 2.5Gbit (Intel I225-V) is not supported yet
• Fixed USB: All ports are supported now except for the USB 2.0 port on the rear panel which is used for the BIOS-updated. I removed this port (HS10) to not exceed the 15 port limit.

Version 1.1

Audio Support added (layout-id=7)

In the previous solution audio device was detected, but there was no sound.

Solved this issue by these steps:

• Set Apple ALC to layout-id=7
• Spoof Device-id 0xA170
• Add FakePCIID.kext
• FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext
