  1. Released Mar 7th, 2024. Build 23E214 Enhancements, bug fixes ans security updates. Safe to install on our Hackintosh platforms. Note that it's important to update wireless kexts IO80211FamilyLegacy + IOSkywalkFamily to new versions tuned for Sonoma 14.4 (kexts used up to 14.3 no longer work). No wifi without those revised kexts. All details are available here in our dedicated thread on the matter. Also released at the same time: macOS Ventura Security Update 13.6.5 (build 22G621) macOS Monterey Security Update 12.7.4 (build 21H1123)

    macOS Sonoma is out

    Released Sep 26th, 2023 as announced. Version 14.0, build 23A344 (same as RC2 published Sep 21st). Sonoma drops official support for Kaby Lake platforms that remained supported in Ventura, Apple raising minimal requirements to Amber Lake and Coffee Lake platforms (with the exception of iMacPro1,1 as in Ventura). However, support for Kaby Lake graphics remain provided with all KBL kexts still present, this in order to ensure support for Amber Lake MacBookAir8,1. By extension, this means that graphics support for Skylake iGPUs can also be retained using those same KBL settings as used in Ventura. For other iGPUs, patches are available through OCLP tool to regain graphics acceleration. Officially supported Intel platforms are now limited to : iMac19,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake) iMacPro1,1 (Skylake Xeon) MacBookAir8,1 (8th gen. Amber Lake) MacBookPro15,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake) Macmini8,1 (8th gen Coffee Lake) MacPro7,1 (Cacade Lake) With Sonoma, Apple also dropped official support for what they call "legacy" Broadcom cards that remained supported up to Ventura. These include cards based on Broadcom BCM4350, BCM4360 or BCM43602 chipsets. If Bluetooth remains natively supported on such legacy cards, native Wifi support is now limited to those Apple proprietary Broadcom SOCs that have been fitted to the above Mac models. Support for "legacy" Broadcom cards can however be recovered with specific patching using OpenCore bootloader, kexts blocking and OCLP patches. Officially supported Broadcom SOCs include: BCM4355 (802.11ac): pci14e4,43dc (iMacPro1,1 + MacBookAir8,x) BCM4364 (802.11ac): pci14e4,4464 (Mac mini8,1 + MacBookPro15,x + MacBookPro16,x + iMac19,x + iMac20,x + MacPro7,1) BCM4377b (802.11ac): pci14e4,4488 (MacBookAir9,1) BCM4378 (802.11ax): Apple Silicon Mac models BCM4387 (802.11ax): Apple Silicon Mac models BCM4388 (802.11ax): Apple Silicon Mac models NB: macOS Big Sur is now officially unsupported.
  3. You now call upon KBL/ABL framebuffer 0x87C00000: ID: 87C00000, STOLEN: 34 MB, FBMEM: 0 bytes, VRAM: 1536 MB, Flags: 0x0000078B TOTAL STOLEN: 35 MB, TOTAL CURSOR: 1 MB (1572864 bytes), MAX STOLEN: 103 MB, MAX OVERALL: 104 MB (109588480 bytes) Model name: Intel HD Graphics KBL CRB Camellia: CamelliaDisabled (0), Freq: 1388 Hz, FreqMax: 1388 Hz Mobile: 1, PipeCount: 3, PortCount: 3, FBMemoryCount: 3 [0] busId: 0x00, pipe: 8, type: 0x00000002, flags: 0x00000098 - ConnectorLVDS [1] busId: 0x05, pipe: 9, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP [2] busId: 0x04, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP 00000800 02000000 98000000 01050900 00040000 87010000 02040A00 00040000 87010000 Your patches, as found in your posted Opencore config file: i.e. [0], busId: 0x00, pipe: 8, type: 0x00000200, flags: 0x00000098 - Connector Analog DVI [1], busId: 0x05, pipe: 9, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP [2], busId: 0x04, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP 00000800 00020000 98000000 --> analog DVI connector type 01050900 00040000 87010000 02040A00 00040000 87010000 Other than the strange patch of connector type 00020000 for con0 (which does not matter because con0 is not used, IOReg showing screen attached to con2), I fail to see the relevance of your other patches given that the values you inject are exactly the same as those natively defined in the framebuffer. As such, you most definitely do not patch any connector's pipe and you most definitely do not patch any property of the connector used for your LG TV. Since that you've now opted for a KBL/ABL framebuffer which attaches your screen to con2, why don't you just adjust con2's pipe to 0x12? framebuffer-patch-enable 1 NUMBER framebuffer-con2-enable 1 NUMBER framebuffer-con2-pipe 12000000 DATA
  4. What version of Sonoma? What version of OpenCore? Try and set SecureBoot to disabled rather than default. I understand that's required for Sonoma 14.4.
  5. Sonoma guide revised for version 14.4 (new wireless kexts) as detailed in thread linked right above.
  6. Revised wireless kexts for Sonoma 14.4, the previous ones not providing wifi service beyond Sonoma 14.3. OCLP 1.4.1 or later required too. Wifi_kexts_Sonoma_14.4.zip
  7. Try and change con1's pipe to 0x12.
  8. Doesn't seem to be a standard disk or USB disk but some form of virtual setup. This matter is unrelated to the boot loader but your platform arrangement. A VM it would seem?

  10. No idea what you mean by colour being "funny". If colours look funny to you on screen, maybe you just need to tune/calibrate your screen profile or use a different one. IOReg shows KBL framebuffer 0x59120000, yet you still inject patches to set con0/con1/con2 to DP, which is what they natively are... ID: 59120000, STOLEN: 38 MB, FBMEM: 0 bytes, VRAM: 1536 MB, Flags: 0x0000110B TOTAL STOLEN: 39 MB, TOTAL CURSOR: 1 MB (1572864 bytes), MAX STOLEN: 115 MB, MAX OVERALL: 116 MB (122171392 bytes) Model name: Intel HD Graphics KBL CRB Camellia: CamelliaDisabled (0), Freq: 1388 Hz, FreqMax: 1388 Hz Mobile: 0, PipeCount: 3, PortCount: 3, FBMemoryCount: 3 [1] busId: 0x05, pipe: 9, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP [2] busId: 0x04, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP [3] busId: 0x06, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP 01050900 00040000 87010000 02040A00 00040000 87010000 03060A00 00040000 87010000 No harm of couse, just totally useless.
  11. Good, thanks for the feedback.
  12. The WEG manual details the connectors patches very clearly and as follows; I really don't know where you copied your values from... framebuffer-conX-enable (enabling patches for connector X) framebuffer-conX-index framebuffer-conX-busid framebuffer-conX-pipe framebuffer-conX-type framebuffer-conX-flags framebuffer-conX-alldata (completely replace the connector) framebuffer-conX-YYYYYYYY-alldata (completely replace the connector, if the current framebuffer matches YYYYYYYY) Where X is the connector index. Alldata patches can patch multiple connectors in sequence by putting them in a single string and specifying the index of a connector to start with. The string length should be a multiple of 12 bytes (the length of a single connector) You may have missed that 12-bytes alldata property is comprised of index + busid + pipe + type + flags. I specified the size of each element in my previous post. This parameter can cover multiple connectors as long as you specify a multiple of 12 bytes and these will cover the specified connector and the following multiple-1 connectors. For instance: framebuffer-con0-alldata AAAAAAAABBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCLLLLLLLLMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNXXXXXXXXYYYYYYYYZZZZZZZZ DATA is the same as framebuffer-con0-alldata AAAAAAAABBBBBBBBCCCCCCCC DATA framebuffer-con1-alldata LLLLLLLLMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN DATA framebuffer-con2-alldata XXXXXXXXYYYYYYYYZZZZZZZZ DATA and framebuffer-con1-alldata DDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT DATA is the same as framebuffer-con1-alldata DDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFF DATA framebuffer-con2-alldata RRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT DATA Note that you can't patch con0 and con2 (without patching con1) in a single 24-bytes alldata injection. This being said, experiment with iGPU properties injections such as this: AAPL,ig-platform-id 00001659 DATA (-> KBL framebuffer 0x59160000) AAPL,slot-name Built-in STRING (-> this is purely cosmetic) force-online 1 NUMBER (-> same as igfxonln=1 boot-arg) Given that your screen appeared attached to connector con1 in a previous IOReg extract, it's fair to say that you may experiment with any other framebuffer that has con1 as DP by default. These include: Desktop: 0x59120000 (the recommended framebuffer for KBL desktop but does not seem to suit you) 0x59230000 0x59260000 0x59260007 (watch, max stolenmem set to 79MB so DVMT must be 96MB, else KP most probably) 0x59270000 Laptop: 0x59160000 (this is the default framebuffer if you do not inject any specific AAPL,ig-platform-id property) 0x59160009 0x591C0005 0x591E0000 0x591E0001 0x59260002 0x59270004 0x59270009 0x87C00000 0x87x00005 Mobile framebuffer 0x591B0000 defines 3 ports: LVDS + HDMI + DP so, if you use that one, you'll have to patch con1 to DP by adding the following properties: framebuffer-patch-enable 1 NUMBER framebuffer-con1-enable 1 NUMBER framebuffer-con1-type 00040000 DATA If you do not get anywhere with any of those framebuffer and default/native device id 0x5912 (that of your particular iGPU), then you may add the following property: device-id 0x16590000 DATA and start your experimentation again with all those frame buffers above. Then, you may consider doing it all again with other device ids but that's a rather unusual thing to do. Supported device ids are listed in the WEG user manual. If nothing works out to provide you 4K@60Hz, you may then consider patching connector's Flags but I'm dry on that one; never had to. This would be done with the following additional properties: framebuffer-patch-enable 1 NUMBER framebuffer-conX-enable 1 NUMBER (-> where X is target connector framebuffer-conX-flags XXXXXXXX DATA (-> where X is target connector and XXXXXXXX target flags value) NB: Please note that you never enter any space in DATA values; spaces are simply displayed by tools such as OCC or CC for ease of reading. Good luck.
  13. Those connector patches are somehow incorrect; if you opt for alldata connector patches, know that it's a 12byte value as stated in the WEG user manual. You inject 14, so... Maybe you should opt for the specific individual patches like index (8bit), busId (8bit), pipe (16bit), type (32bit), flags (32bit). You may find this less confusing. You need to read the WEG user manual with all due attention, all these are thoroughly explained at the bottom of the document. Framebuffer layout and iGPU device id are not aligned, meaning that if you opt for, say, framebuffer 0x59260000 (AAPL,ig-platform-id 00002659), you do not have to set iGPU device id to 0x5926 (device-id 26590000). Start with default/native device id (i.e. remove the injected property), then experiment with different layouts. You may then fake a different iGPU id and start all over with framebuffers. Proceed in an orderly and logical manner. If you're able to boot without the stolenmem and fbmem patches, then DVMT is already set to, at least, 64MB and you can forget about it. Nothing prevents you from checking if you have an option in your computer's BIOS settings to adjust this. But as long as it's set to 64MB minimum, you're Ok for graphics acceleration and should be Ok for 4K. More than 64MB is a plus but rarely necessary. See our dedicated thread on DVMT in our FAQ section. My Skylake E7270 gives me 4K@60Hz with DVMT patched to 64MB, KBL framebuffer 0x59100000 and fake device id 0x5916. Make sure to consult the KBL framebuffers information detailed in the Whatevergreen user manual re: connectors and DVMT. Careful if you experiment with framebuffer 0x59260007 because that one is stipulated with 79MB total stolen memory. With DVMT set to 64MB, I expect you'll encounter KP. Ok if DVMT is set to 96MB.
  14. You only patch connectors if you want/need to. And if you do, you need the framebuffer-conX-enable properties set to true. Property framebuffer-patch-enable is to patch framebuffer general properties, not connectors characteristics. I think you're all over the place in your attempts to obtain 4K@60Hz and doing things wrong. Why do you increase NVRAM to 2GB? It's not really necessary and won't help towards getting 4K@60Hz. I see a commented property (thank God!) for EDID injection! Only laptops may require this, not external screens. You may have other items such as boot args that now cause your graphics-related KP. Make sure to proceed cautiously with a bootable USB key and to experiment with suitable parameters not just anything you can throw at the Hack. I would invite you to read the Whatevergreen manual + Github information for details about patches and boot-args.
  15. So you have a desktop computer with 7th gen Kaby Lake CPU i5-7500. Integrated HD 630 graphics support 4K as follows: You use KBL framebuffer 0x59120000 ID: 59120000, STOLEN: 38 MB, FBMEM: 0 bytes, VRAM: 1536 MB, Flags: 0x0000110B TOTAL STOLEN: 39 MB, TOTAL CURSOR: 1 MB (1572864 bytes), MAX STOLEN: 115 MB, MAX OVERALL: 116 MB (122171392 bytes) Model name: Intel HD Graphics KBL CRB Camellia: CamelliaDisabled (0), Freq: 1388 Hz, FreqMax: 1388 Hz Mobile: 0, PipeCount: 3, PortCount: 3, FBMemoryCount: 3 [1] busId: 0x05, pipe: 9, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP [2] busId: 0x04, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP [3] busId: 0x06, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP 01050900 00040000 87010000 02040A00 00040000 87010000 03060A00 00040000 87010000 which defines 3 DP ports by default. You patched these to HDMI type through your "alldata" patches. It's unnecessary if you use a DP video port, wouldn't you say? Your IOReg shows that your screen gets attached to connector con1 so I would remove the connector type patch for that connector at a minimum. I don't know why you changed busId of con2 from 0x06 to 0x00 but it doesn't really matter. Now, if this does not resolve the issue of not obtaining 4K@60Hz, you can always try and experiment with other KBL frame buffers, even mobile ones such as 0x59160000, 0x591b0000 or 0x591e0000 for instance. Latter was what @quartz38 recently used to obtain HDMI output on his KBL R desktop platform as described here. I assume you do proceed with clearing NVRAM at OC Picker after you reboot following a config change. NB: injecting hardware's own native id is unnecessary (as is the case for your iGPU) but harmless of course; you only need to do that when you want to inject/fake a different device id. You may also experiment with device id 0x5916.
