    I found minor issue updating bios

    Update Gigabyte TRX40 Designare (ver 1.0 not 1.1) to F4p macOS starts to boot but stops at 30-40 percent, hangs

    works fine on f4i

    I leave memory bar disabled

     

     

     

    Are you running Big Sur or Catalina?

     

    After updating to F4p on the Aorus Xtreme I found I could boot into Catalina but not Big Sur. I used one of my old OC Debug version (0.6.2) USBs  and checked the MMIO values in the report and found that they had not changed at all.

     

    It stumped me for a while until I decided to double check the Debug report and I ran it again. Only then did I realise that when I checked the earlier report I had looked at the wrong one, an older version. Doh 🤬

     

    With every BIOS update prior to this one the MMIO values remained the same so I wasn't surprised they hadn't changed when I checked. Fortunately I am off for my eye sight test later today, totally coincidental. 😀

     

    Indeed the MMIO values had all changed. As soon as I updated my config.plist with the new values it booted fine into both Catalina and Big Sur.

     

    This has been verified by another user on here with the same MB, he can also boot fine with the new MMIO values.

     

    I just need to put together a new zip file for the sight so @fabiosuncan update the OP so anyone else with the same MB can download it to get them started.

    @Ploddlesdo you know why has Gigabyte not released F4n BIOS to public yet? I've been using it since you posted it a while back and it seems very stable. Is it to enable the Zen3 TRs when they come out?

     

    I don't have any problems with it either. Gigabyte are always pretty slow on releasing updated BIOSs, but as it is working fine for me I'm not worried by them not updating their website with it.

    can we please get a link to your EFI folder with OC 0.6.6? 🙂

     

    HERE you go. I haven't tried it with BS 11.3 Beta 1 yet but have added the additional patch so hopefully it should be OK. As usual, test it on a USB stick first before replacing your main one.

     

    I have also updated my BIOS to F4n, the MMIO Whitelist hasn't changed at all. That is HERE if you want it (at present it is not available on the Gigabyte web site but is available if you request it from them).

    Major changes using OC compare are the following:

     

    config.plist -> Kernel -> Quirks - Missing Key: SetApfsTrimTimeout
    config.plist -> Misc -> Boot - Missing Key: LauncherPath
    config.plist -> Misc -> Boot - Missing Key: LauncherOption
    config.plist -> DeviceProperties -> Add - Missing Key: PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1b,0x0)
    config.plist -> UEFI -> Quirks - Missing Key: DisableSecurityPolicy
    config.plist -> PlatformInfo - Missing Key: UseRawUuidEncoding
    config.plist -> PlatformInfo -> Generic - Missing Key: MaxBIOSVersion

     

    Sample.plist Misc -> Security - Missing Key: BootProtect

     

     

    I've updated mine on a USB stick, to test, will do that at the weekend.

    Using OC Config Compare, it is error free so I hope it will boot straight off. 

    (The error below isn't really an error as there are 2 options for language and I use the more logical one, where you specify it as en-GB:0 (English-Great Britain)  for me, rather than 656E2D55 533A30)

    Checking for values missing from User plist:

    Checking for values missing from Sample:

     

    Sample.plist -> NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> prev-lang:kbd - Type Difference: <class 'bytes'> --> <class 'str'>

    @Ploddles....did you upgrade to oc 0.66? Are there any major changes with the previous?


    I’ll be doing it at the weekend as there are some big changes as to how it works. It is now apparently a uefi app rather than just a program, eg bootstrap.efi has been removed and quite a few changes to the config file. 
     

    I’ll post a link to my efi when completed for anybody who wants it.

    does sleep & wake work for you?


    I’ve never got it to work reliably but I haven’t spent much time trying as I just turn it on and off when I want to use it, so sleep isn’t an issue for me. At some point I’ll probably look into it a bit more. 
     

    I won’t get a chance to try the new bios until next week sometime, busy decorating the bedroom for the time being.
