It stops all the crashing you described but still problems with Liquify, Neural Filters and Colourise.

Yes, it usually happens shortly before the login screen. The pikera boot arg usually fixes it though. Are you clearing nvram a few times (and then rebooting back to OC) after each modification, it is essential that you do that otherwise new value/args aren't being read from the config.

I've used my system without any of the SSDTs enabled and it appears to work the same as with them enabled. There are a couple of USB ports on the back (I can't remember which ones) that didn't work originally but I think they are ok now, since updating to the latest BIOS a few months ago. I've recently also changed my M.2 drives (Sabrent PCIe 4) for macOS so am busy reinstalling everything with a nice fresh copy of the release version of Big Sur. A shutdown and restart issue (where you hit shutdown and it would immediately restart instead of shutting down) was originally solved by @meina222I think it was. There is a BIOS setting for Wake on Lan which needs to be set as disabled. If you successfully loaded my BIOS settings from the file then that is already set. @iGPU is the nice chap that modified the SSDTs for me, I haven't a clue when it comes to that. For now I leave them all enabled - "if it ain't broke don't fix it". As for the black screen, I know lots of people have/had issues with the RX5700XT. I have just had another quick look at my config.plist and noticed a something that may be an issue for you. If you are still using the RX5700XT and a system definition of iMacPro1,1 make sure that you replace the AGPMInjector kext with the attached one. This one is specifically for the RX5700XT. If you aren't using iMacPro1,1 let me know as we need to generate a new one for you. AGPMInjector.kext.zip

My latest OC folder was uploaded a few posts back. Download that and compare settings / kexts.

I'm thinking you are referring to Misc | Security | SecurebootModel, which should be set to Disabled.

I didn’t see some of the posts before my last one. It looks like you have already done that with @fabiosun i am looking at my phone now but will check out the full bits I missed later on, when I get home.

This is really strange as 2 others use the same and boot fine. Difference is you have 3960x and we have 3970x. Maybe Mimo is different with your processor? You need to do an OC debug to check the values.

Not for macOS but if you have Linux installed as well and boot via OC @jncasey states it will not boot properly. I haven’t loaded Linux on my machine yet but will do at some point and then test. Left enabled as I would forget which option(s) to enable. .

@info I'm thinking you didn't have my latest OC 0.6.3 EFI if it is giving you errors. If you didn't download it from the Dropbox link in one of my old posts from a week or so ago it wouldn't work with the latest Catalina/Big Sur etc. Attached is my latest one (with serials removed). Try this, just to make sure. EFI.zip

Here you go. EFI.zip

Just put it on a USB stick, reboot, press F12 and select the USB stick.

@infonow you have it installed, have you tried my original OC & config to see if it is any better?

Plug it into the TRX (or install it internally), but boot from my OC EFI on a USB stick (F12). OC will then see the transplanted installation and allow you to load that. OR Just replace the whole Clover EFI with the OC one.

You should be able to boot a system transplanted from another machine, just use the EFI for the TRX4, not the one from the other hack. Can you get hold of an RX580 for example? Get one from Amazon, try that and then return it. That way at least you eliminate/confirm it is a graphics card problem.

Do yo have an external USB drive? If so you could do a Carbon Copy of your running system (real Mac / another Hack?) and then try and boot to that on the TRX4. That was the way I first started, couldn't install straight away. I put another M.2 drive in my Hack, Carbon Copied my running system and put that in the new one. I could then boot that and do a fresh install from that to my new M.2.

Check the label on the box it came in, it will say Rev 1.0 or Rev 1.1. It will also be screen printed on the MB somewhere. As Fabiosun says, disable the SSDTs. My system boots with and without them (I haven't got round to testing everything works without them yet). It isn't getting to a point where kexts would be loaded.

If you loaded the profile then everything is ok. You don't by any chance have the Rev 1.1 of the motherboard do you? I don't know what the difference are between Rev 1.0 and 1.1. 1 more thing you could try is to remove the X.M.P profile in the BIOS. I can't think of anything else atm.

One other thing to try could be to move the GTX to slot 2 or 4. I think we have run out of possibilities atm but the GTX is natively supported so should be OK. Which slot is your M.2 installed in? I've just noticed you have a Gigabyte M.2. Some M.2 drives aren't comparable with macOS (due to the controller chip on them). Do you have another brand you could try, or just a normal SSD (remove the M.2 first)?

No, that won't make a difference, until you try to sign in with your Apple ID. Big Sur has just this minute appeared in the App Store so you could download it from there, might be easier.

I don't think it will make any difference, who knows until you try, but you can use the attached to download Big Sur (run gibMacOS.command). Once downloaded run the downloaded install assistant and it will create the installer in your Applications folder. Copy that to your USB. That last config file I sent you, I forgot to remove my serial numbers etc, please change them to yours. gibMacOS-master.zip

Try this

Yes

As it is Catalina rather than Big Sur that you are wanting to install, try changing SecureBootModel from Disabled to Default. (in Misc | Security)

Big Sur 11.0.1 released, 20B29.
