I thought I would post details of my successful High Sierra build.

Thanks goes to Syonagar for posting about his build using the same motherboard and uploading the Clover folder.

System Specs:

• Core i5 4570
• Gigabyte H81m-DS2
• Klevv SSD Neo N510+ 480gb Primary
• Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500gb Backup while getting everything working.
• Toshiba HDW120 2 TB HDD for storage.
• WD Blue 500gb 7,200rpm storage
• Sapphire Radeon RX570 8gb Works OOTB
• 16gb Corsair Vengeance LP 1600mhz DDR3 (2 X 8G DIMMS)
• Firewire card
• 2k 34" monitor

USB installer creation.

I created a USB installer on my aging 08 MBP using creatinstallmedia in terminal using the following command

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

Clover installed using default for UEFI.

UEFI Drivers:

• ApfsDriverLoader.efi
• AudioDxe.efi
• FSInject.efi
• OsxAptioFixDrv.efi
• PartitionDxe.efi
• SMCHelper.efi
• VBoxHF.efi

Kexts:

• Lilu.kext
• RealtekRTL811.kext For my lan
• SMCProcessor.kext
• SMCSuperIO.kext
• VirtualSMC.kext
• WhateverGreen.kext

OS installed to Klevv SSD (file system APFS) without issues during installation and first boot. RX570 recognised out of the box and runs at up to 2k 144hz.

After install and initial setup:

• System backed up to Samsung SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner. This was incase I screwed up the primary install.

Post install:

• Install Clover on SSD EFI partition.
• Replace the new Clover folder with Syonagar's Clover folder for Catalina.
• Reboot

Reboot without install USB was successful.

First issue was no audio through the HDMI.

This was solved buy adding AppleALC.kext and removing VoodooHDA.Kext but this meant I had no onboard audio.
At the time I wasn't fuss as I use HDMI audio through my monitor.

Clover folder update with the following.

UEFI Drivers:

• ApfsDriverLoader.efi
• AudioDxe.efi
• DataHubDxe.efi
• Fat.efi
• FSInject.efi
• NTFS.efi
• OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi
• SMCHelper.efi
• VBoxExt2.efi
• VBoxExt4.efi
• VBoxHfs.efi
• VirtualSmc.efi

Kexts:

Installed into other folder

• AppleALC.kext This was so I could have audio via HDMI. Because I removed VoodooHDA.kext I had no onboard audio and AppleALC.kext required a fix to enable onboard audio.
• Lilu.kext
• RealtekRTL8111.Kext For Lan
• SMCProcessor.kext
• SMCSuperIO.kext
• VirtualSMC.kext
• Whatevergreen.Kext

Reboot

HDMI audio working.

Working EFI folder backed up to Samsung EFI partition as well as a zip file on the a separate HDD.

Onboard audio fix using Clover Configurator.

I found the fix at another site but it is also show by Shaon at

I have used ID 13.

I now have working onboard audio through the front panel as well as rear output.

I have to check to see if this has enabled the line in and mic in as well.

A complete list of supported codecs can be found at https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs

Backup EFI folder.

Next Issue was the firewire card causing the system to reboot on shutdown.

The card did work without issue in a system using an Asus B85M-G board that I had installed HS and Mojave on. This board started acting flakey which is why I purchase the H81m-DS2. I was fortunate enough to find it brand new at a local retailer.

After some trial and error, including testing on a 1st gen i7 with Mavericks installs to confirm the card still worked, I cleaned out the EFI partition and reinstalled clover.

I installed the firewire card and then updated all drivers and kexts manually using those that I have listed and selected fix shutdown in Clover Configurator under ACPI-Fixes.

Reboot to confirm system still works.

Connect portable HDD via Firewire. Firewire works

Shutdown to confirm system shuts down.

Success.

Lastly I enabled trim which appears to have made the boot time increase by about 15-20 seconds.

I have searched online and it appears to be common. I have also searched to see if trim enabled is needed with APFS and have read mixed opinions.

Any thoughts?

Installed Security Update 2020-003 10.13.6 as well as iTunes 12.8.2, iTunes Device Support Update and Safari 13.1.1

Backup system and EFI.

I have installed Adobe Production Premium CS5.5 because I am capturing old VHS tapes and the player has firewire out.

Premiere Pro works but does tend to crash when I quit as does Photoshop. Unfortunately Di Vinci Resolve doesn't support firewire.

Currently search for a solution but I may use the i7 Mavericks system if it becomes a problem because it's only a short term unpaid project and I already own the software.

Cheers,

Chris

  • Updated opencore & all kexts to latest versions

• macOS Big Sur 11.3 & 11.3.1 (OpenCore 0.6.9):-
  • OpenCore-11.3-0.6.9.zip
  • So far everything should work
  • Updated all kexts to latest versions

• macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 (OpenCore 0.6.4):- 
  • OpenCore-11.0.1-0.6.4.zip
  • Updated all kexts to latest versions

  • This bootpack is able to boot Mac OS Big Sur Beta 10. However, it is still getting issue where installer will exit prematurely after starting. If anyone managed to resolve this issue do give me a buzz. Found the cause of installer exiting prematurely after start. Its a hard disk issue. Also had issue similar issue when installing windows on the same hard disk. 

  • So far everything should works except sleep. integrated graphics need to be disabled in bios in order for sleep to work (i.e. no desktop freeze after wake).

• macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 (OpenCore 0.6.3):- 
  • OpenCore-11.0.1.zip

• macOS Big Sur Beta 10 (OpenCore 0.6.3):- 
  • OpenCore-11.0-Beta10.zip

• macOS Big Sur Beta 4 (20A5343i) (OpenCore 0.6.0):- 
  • OpenCore-11.0-Beta-20A5343i.zip 

  • So far everything works except sleep. System freezes after wake. 

  • This bootpack is based on latest OC and lilu & friends kext release based on OC 0.6.0

• macOS Big Sur Beta 2 (20A4300b) (OpenCore 0.6.0):-
  •  OpenCore-11.0-Beta -20A4300b.zip

  •  So far everything works except sleep. System freezes after wake.

  • This bootpack allow both updating of existing beta 1 to beta 2 and installing new hard drive by running the installer app from an existing Mac OS system.

  • USB installer created from createmediainstall still cannot be booted. Resolved. As @Jake Lo advise, with latest lilu we can omit "-lilubetaall vsmcgen=1 booter-fileset-kernel booter-fileset-basesystem" stuff. Make sure to reset nvram on first OC boot and boot the usb installer on reboot. However, looks like "booter-fileset-kernel & booter-fileset-basesystem" need to be remove when booting usb only and 1st stage installation. 2nd stage looks like it still need those to boot.

• macOS Big Sur Beta 1 (20A4299v) (OpenCore 0.6.0) :-
  • OpenCore-11.0-Beta-20A4299v.zip
  • USB installer still cannot be booted using clover or opencore. Big Sur need to be cloned from existing real mac disk image.
  • So far everything works except for sleep.
  • Downloaded the real mac disk image and followed installation guide from here: https://www.olarila.com/topic/8977-guide-installrestore-bigsur-with-opencore/. 
  • Initial bootpack for OpenCore obtained from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/fuf6z7/open_core_056_catalina_10154_gaz87mxd3h_i74770/. Updated network card kext from my clover bootpack and updated OpenCore to version 0.6.0.

       (Note: These bootpacks can also be used to boot macOS Catalina)

Cheers!

Kexts (All kexts installed to S/L/E)

• latest fakesmc, plugins (except LPCSensors), and hardware monitor
• In fakesmc info.plist -> change "smc-name" to "smc-huronriver"
• and change the values in keys: "REV", "RVBF", and "RVUF" to:
• "<02060F00 0059>" for mbp 11,2 smbios
• Add key "ACID" as shown in attached picture 
• ApplePS2SmartTouchpad.kext for mouse, trackpad, and keyboard
• In Content->Plugins->ApplePS2Keyboard Info.plist, set fn mode to "3" and Layout to "GIGABYTE"
• RealtekRTL8111
• Rehab man's ACPIBacklight.kext
• Rehabman's ACPIBatteryManager.kext
• Bluetooth Firmware Uploader

Sound
Install DummyHDA

1) Go to Audio Midi Setup in Utilities and create a new multi-output device
2) Check both speakers
3) Make sure both speakers under the multi-output device have the same sample rate (I'm using 48000hz)

4) Install SoundSiphon, in its preferences, make the multi-output device the pass through device

5) Make SoundSiphon default output device - now you have volume control over multi-output device

Note: Whenever headphones are plugged in, you will need to manually select it as the output device

DSDT/SSDT Patches 
Note: All SSDTs and DSDT go into EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched

Note2: Make sure you install the patches in the order listed

Extract DSDT/SSDT (taken from Rehabman's guide)

Copy dsdt and all ssdts from linux (located in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables) - ignore the tables in the "dynamic" folder

In osx, download aisle here: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/acpica/downloads

In OS X Terminal:

cd "to directory where you placed all SSDT/DSDT"
iasl -da -dl *.aml

**From this point on, we're only working with the .dsl files

Patch ssdt3 with:

• Rehabman Laptop: Remove _PSS Placeholders

Patch ssdt6 with:

• Rehabman Laptop: Brightness Fix (Haswell), Haswell HD4600 Yosemite, Rename B0D3 to HDAU, Rename GFX0 to IGPU

Patch ssdt7 with:

• Rehabman Laptop: Rename GFX0 to IGPU, Cleanup/Fix Errors (SSDT), Disable from _INI (SSDT) *Uncomment the External line from the INI patch*
• Delete the line: \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.H_EC.TDRF (One) from Method SGOF

• Rehabman Laptop: Rename GFX0 to IGPU

• There is an issue with the sound card in that at first boot and after sleep, sound will not play out of the front speakers or subwoofer. This is remedied by adjusting the volume with the fn keys. The same issue is present in ubuntu but no fix has been presented as of yet. The more people who add themselves to effected will increase the odds of a fix. See bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1366241
• Due to nvidia optimus not being supported in OS X, the nvidia card had to be disabled. This could be done in the bios but that would be a hassle when switching to windows so instead it was disabled in the dsdt and corresponding ssdts (see Rehabman's guide for details). This is why the nv_disable=1 flag is needed with the clover installer but not with the actual install once everything is done.
• This specific intel hd graphics is not supported in OS X and so a combination of clover fake id, Rehabman's fakepciid kexts, and some AppleIntelFramebufferAzul patches had to be used to remedy this
• 5ghz wifi and bluetooth handoff have been enabled with various clover kext patches
• Sound was enabled with AppleHDA clover patches and the use of DummyHDA
• For TRIM support, go into terminal and type: sudo trim force enable
