Hi @Lorys89 when you have a chance, could you please patch this latest bios? 

Got it. 👍

Yep, I am using your SSDT-XHX. 
Yeah I have checked Audio and Bluetooth and they work. 
Thanks again your prepared EFI is working wonderfully. Macos is my main OS now. I didn't open my Windows OS since macOS was installed. 

Is there any other kext etc you can recommend for the system? 

Hi @fabiosun, 

Now my EFI does not have any USB port map. Should I create a new map. Is there a problem with it working this way?

My USB devices look like the following.

METHODOLOGY

 

1. In config.plist (see image) inside your boot EFI, Add the numbers csr-active-config = 03080000 (see image)  into the NVRAM section of config.plist (to workaround security & Privacy Oracle Box kext sign problems with this partial SIP disable).

2.  Add AMFIPass.kext details (see image) into kernel section of config.plist.  Save config.plist back to the EFI /OC folder.

3. Download version 1.40 of AMFIPass.kext and copy it over onto your EFI drive's Kext folder.

4. Ensure you can reset NVRAM in Opencore when rebooting

5. Reboot, and hit space, number to reset your NVRAM.
6. Now it should boot with your SIP disabled and use AMFIpass to allow the box kernel thru.

7. Download & install Vbox v.6.1.48 or 6.1.50

8. During the installation process it should ask you to sign / allow the Oracle Virtual Box / ALLOW it inside your 'System Settings' Security & privacy section.

9. After install and the kernel of box has been signed it will ask to reboot. Go ahead and reboot.
10. After reboot, locate and download/install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.50.vbox-extpack (if using ver 6.1.50)

11. Now grab a ISO from Microsoft and install your guest OS - in my case it was Windows 10 32 bit iso

12. Go thru the motions of installing the guest OS like you normally would.

13. Locate and download VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.50.iso or VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.48.iso and install them from a guest ISO storage drive.This will provide a number of addition hardware features and functionality.

14. Finally, fine tune your guest OS for display USB pointing devices etc...

15. If you get problems running virtual box - quit Vbox completely (stop any guest VMs running first if you can) and then rerun it by running it from within Applications folder and not as an alias as sometimes aliases get corrupted or lose sight of the software.

16 I tried then resetting SIP to Enabled and disabling AMFIPass kext inside config plist Kernel section, reboot, resetting NVRAM and booting up to Sonoma but the Kernel errors reappeared and I found they were no longer 'Allowed' by the OS. Subsequently, virtual box guest VM's failed to start. 😞

17. So went back to partially Disabling SIP (csr-active-config = 03080000) but didn't require AMFIPass to ON now that Ive installed vBox.

 

More on this soon...

HI @Driftwood, 
Thank you for this wonderful guide. I have used your metrology and installed the Virtualbox on my Ryzentosh system. 

It's working perfectly. 🫠
 

Good news 🤗,
     Installed macos now after replaced nvme disk.
Thank you very much for your efforts and help.  I bought the T700 for macos because it is fast. Can mac be installed on this disk after a while?

I hope the problem will be solved. Is there a known problem for PCIX5 nvme disks on macs?

I have a Corsair MP400 nvme disk with Windows installed. I will clone the disk first and then try again. 🫡

I removed one of the ddr5 ram and started the installation again, but the result didn't change. Again in the first installation the system rebooted at the 11th minute like in the video.

@Fabiosun,
Yes, I tried and there was no change. It keeps happening like in the video I shared.
@Lorys89,
No, I don't have any Samsung nvme devices. I'm trying to install macos on a Crucial T700 2TB nvme.

Hi @Ploddles,

I have tried now and it does not work the installer restarts at minute 11.
I will try different ram memory speeds one by one.

Is there any other action you can suggest?

I have checked 4g and resize bar and they look as follows, 

I have created 2 times my USB installer but I don't know if the problem could be caused by USB?

Hello @fabiosun,

First of all, thank you very much for your help.

System components.

Asus x670e, AMD 7950X3d CPU , 2x32 Gskill 6400 ram, AMD 6900XT GPU, Crucial T700 2Tb SSD and macos Sonoma latest version on USB

I copied the EFI file you shared into USB EFI and only added agdpmod=pıkera in Nvram since my video card is 6900xt. When I don't add this, the installation screen does not come up, it stays black screen.

Then I defaulted the bios settings and turned off the asus logo with fastboot.

I booted with USB and did clean Nvram process. Then Sonoma installation screen came up and I did disk format process and started Macos install step.

When the installation comes up to the 11th minute, the system restarts as you can see in the video below. Please look at 40 seconds.

Then I continue the installation from the opencore boot menu again and it gives the error as follows. Please look at 110 seconds.

And I have shared the debug log files on USB.

Hello @fabiosun,

I downgraded the bios version from 1905 to 1709 and tried to install macos with 098 EFI. But now I get the following error. Can you please help me with this error?

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. : 😑 

I have shared to my debug log.

Hi @Lorys89, 
Could you please patched this latest Asus x670E Hero 1905 bios  DSDT's. 

Thanks. 

AsusX670E_1905-DSDT.zip

Hello @fabiosun
Thanks for the feedback. I cleared the device properties in EFI as you mentioned. 
When I tried again from the beginning, after formatting the disk, the OS restarted automatically with 11 minutes left to finish the installation. 
I think this is the source of the problem. 
What is the version of bios you are using now. let me use that version.

Hi @fabiosun @dixtdf
In short, my problem is that after the first installation steps (disk format and os installation) the device restarts without any problem, then after the second step of 26 minutes left, it restarts over and over again.

The steps I did basically...

I used fabiosun's last EFI file 098 and updated Lorys89's patched (1904) DSDT file in my efi file because I used the last bios (1905) and deleted the rx6950xt.aml file in the ACPI folder because I used rx6900xt. Finally I rebuilt smbios.

Then I opened debug mode but I couldn't understand what the problem was in the resulting file. I have attached my EFI and debug file. Can you please help me with this? what am I doing wrong?

Hi @fabiosun,
Thanks. I am trying to install the latest version to sonoma with your shared efi file which is opencore098 but I failed. I copied the zip into the usb EFI and did nothing else. 
Is there anything additional I need to do for the USB ports?

If possible can you share your efi file running on the sonoma you are using including the usb patch? 
and I have the latest bios, is there any option in the bios that I should be aware of?

Could you please give me a simple tutorial for beginners like me?

Hi @fabiosun, 
First of all, thank you for your work.  I have a similar system as you and I want to install osx on it. Can you please share your latest efi with me? 

Thanks.
