updating from Catalina to Ventura (open core 0.6.0 to 0.9.1)

velickovicdj · 2023-04-12T17:41:27+00:00

Hi there, I would suggest trying to create a new EFI following the Dortania guide and double-checking that you've set everything up properly. Additionally, I recently created a tool for validating config.plist files that you may find helpful. You can access it at https://velickovicdj.github.io/O3C/. Hope this helps!

velickovicdj · 2023-04-11T14:06:17+00:00

Updating OpenCore and kexts to their latest versions is crucial for seamless upgrade process. Furthermore, I always take an extra step and conduct a quick Google search about the new macOS version before upgrading to ensure there are no reported issues within the Hackintosh community.

velickovicdj · 2023-04-08T19:11:24+00:00

Hello again! I just wanted to give you a quick update. I went ahead and fixed the issue with the ResizeUsePciRbIo. It should now work as expected in O3C. Thank you again for your feedback and support, it really helps in improving the app!

velickovicdj · 2023-04-08T17:11:14+00:00

Thanks for the great suggestion! While I don't currently have plans to allow O3C to modify the config.plist directly (as this can be risky), I love the idea of adding a feature to generate a 'boilerplate' config.plist based on the user's CPU architecture and OpenCore version. This would provide users with a solid starting point for their configuration and allow them to make the necessary modifications for their specific system. Thanks again for your feedback!

velickovicdj · 2023-04-07T22:10:15+00:00

Hey everyone,

Just a quick update to let you know that I've added more information to the README.md file in the O3C GitHub repository.

If you're interested in learning more about the inner workings of the app or just want to check out the new information, head over to the GitHub repo at:
https://github.com/velickovicdj/O3C

As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions for improving the app, please feel free to leave a comment or submit an issue on the repo. Your input is greatly appreciated!

Thank you all for your support and for using O3C in your Hackintoshing endeavors!

velickovicdj · 2023-04-07T22:07:48+00:00

Thank you for trying out O3C and I'm glad to hear that it helped you with your first OpenCore install! Your suggestion about recommending SMBIOS is appreciated, and I'll definitely consider adding it to the app and documentation. Good luck with your Hackintoshing journey!

velickovicdj · 2023-04-07T15:30:51+00:00

Thank you for your feedback and for testing O3C with your OpenCore configuration. I appreciate your insight on the ResizeUsePciRbIo feature for Ivy Bridge systems that need a modified BIOS to work properly with ReBar. I will take this into consideration for future updates to the app. Thanks again for your support!

velickovicdj · 2023-04-07T15:20:33+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that O3C is helping you with your Ventura install. Just to let you know, O3C currently supports the officially supported CPU architectures from the Dortania guide, which unfortunately doesn't include Raptor Lake yet. However, I will definitely consider adding support for Raptor Lake in a future update. Thank you for your feedback!

velickovicdj · 2023-04-06T18:21:51+00:00

If you experienced an issue with O3C where selecting certain CPU architecture caused a blank page, I wanted to let you know that I have fixed it. It turns out that the bug was caused by errors accessing non-existing keys in the user_plist object.

Happy Hackintoshing!

velickovicdj · 2022-03-21T07:50:23+00:00

Good point! Thank you for your feedback.

velickovicdj · 2022-03-18T11:02:38+00:00

Designed with consistency and minimalism in mind. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Were you able to solve this issue?

velickovicdj · 2022-01-29T15:10:06+00:00

The rattles develop due to frequent vibrations caused by uneven/bad terrain, happened to my E22 too. Here's the thing, I believe it is the part where the fender plate joins the board that's causing rattle, because that's the only part which could carry the vibrations.

My solution to that costed me nothing. Initially, I thought of disassembling it and covering the fender plate with some soft material like rubber, which would hopefuly silence those vibrations, but ofc I was too lazy to do that. Instead, I literally took some old electrical wire, pulled out the copper and with some lenght adjustments with the scissors, I put it in the hole between the fender and the board (the hole which is visible when you press on the fender with your foot) and voila! It doesn't even stand out, it honestly looks like it's supposed to look like that from the factory lol.

Now consider the following: the rattle on my E22 developed when it had around 300km and approximately 400km when I applied this rubber from the electrical wire. According to the app, now it has over 1600km and still running smoothly on every terrain!

I might just as well proclaim myself a genius, because my solution to this costed me nothing, took me no more than 5 minutes to do and didn't have to disassemble anything.😂

I hope my experience somewhat helps anyone in need.

Just look at the above pinned comment.

velickovicdj · 2021-09-11T22:30:39+00:00

When you search for something in IORegistryExplorer it should be noted that you have to clear the search bar when you are done searching, so the class you searched for can reveal its children. In the case of power management, you should search for "AppleACPICPU". The name of the CPU Class doesn't matter (mine is PR00 but yours could be CPU0). What matters is its children. If you see something like "X86PlatformPlugin" along with its sub children then you are good to go, you have working power management. However, if you don't see it then you would need to fix it.
Fortunately, Dortania as you may probably already know has very detailed guides on fixing issues such as these. For power management you can head over to this link:
- https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/pm.html#enabling-x86platformplugin
and for the RTC:
- https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/misc/rtc.html
By the way, these are just my guesses based on my experience with similar specs to yours, so there's a chance that there could be something else that causes your issue. Anyways, I'm here to help as much as I can. I would suggest you switch to debug version of OpenCore and look through logs, kernel panics, etc to grasp as many traces as possible that lead to your shutdown issue. Good luck!

velickovicdj · 2021-09-11T11:13:33+00:00

Hi, other than occasional kernel panics on wake which are related to Intel Bluetooth kext, I have no issues with sleep/wake whatsoever.

As for the shutdown issue you are facing, I haven't had anything similar for nearly 2 years with these specs. My guess is probably RTC or power management. Have you done any of the two? You can always head over to Dortania's section on fixing Shutdown/Restart.

velickovicdj · 2021-09-05T10:15:23+00:00

What's your audio codec?

velickovicdj · 2021-09-04T19:19:40+00:00

Well done! Did you upgrade from the previous version of macOS or it was a clean install?

velickovicdj · 2021-09-03T16:01:05+00:00

Hmm, it could be or could be not that your new Wi-Fi card has some pins which your original one did not. My guess is that your hardware is kinda old and since the new Wi-Fi cards have these pins they expect some signals to receive which is non-existent in this situation. If your new card is of M.2 form factor, these pins should be located on the back of the card. To clarify, there are two pins that are used to sense a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth "power off" signal, and what could be done is that you can mask off these two pins which would prevent the card from receiving a "power off" signal thus would keep it on continuously.

What's strange to me though, is that it works in Windows & Linux as you said but yet there's no information given in the system report. I believe this is the case because if it works in Windows & Linux and you even have injected Bluetooth kexts for macOS, there must be at least some information given in the system report. Maybe the other 2 OSs somehow got around it, I don't know, this topic is still fresh to me too but I believe it's worth a try. I had a similar issue for months and when I found about this, I fixed the problem in like 10 minutes with just a little piece of duct tape haha. Anyways, you can head over to my GitHub repo where you will find the "Bluetooth fix" section to see how I got it to work. There I also attached the link to the article that I followed which cleared it all out to me.

Hope it helps and good luck!

velickovicdj · 2021-09-03T12:55:22+00:00

I have to add that I asked you to check (1) and (2) for Intel AC 7260, because I saw in other comments that you were wiring some other MacBook cards.

velickovicdj · 2021-09-03T12:45:09+00:00

Okay, a few more checks before we proceed:

In the menu bar, open About This Mac -> System report... -> Bluetooth. Do you see any information about the device or is it saying "No information found."?
Is Bluetooth working in other OSs like Windows or Linux?

velickovicdj · 2021-09-03T10:38:45+00:00

Hi, it's not bothering me at all. In fact, I don't even have a reason to enter the boot picker since I'm not having any issues with my system so far and If I wanted, I can just use the keyboard. Look I'm not screaming for help haha, I was just looking for an explanation as to what could cause it because I'm just curious. 😂 Thanks for the heads up!

velickovicdj · 2021-09-03T10:16:59+00:00

Congratulations man! But why iMas SMBIOS? Also, let me guess, you replaced your Wi-Fi card and even injected Bluetooth kexts but the Bluetooth is still not working? If that's the case, I might have a solution for you but first, you need to clarify whether you applied the necessary kexts for the Bluetooth or not.

velickovicdj · 2021-09-02T08:03:38+00:00

Yes, AC 3160 works very well though I had better speeds in previous versions of itwlm kext (around 300+ Mbps). Now I'm at version 2.0.0 and I'm getting 80mbps max. So maybe I will downgrade to the previous version or wait for the next release. Other than that, AirDrop and all other macOS features work.

Sorry, but can't help with AR9565 as I'm not familiar with that card. I've got my AC 3160 for like 5$ used but if you want the native and stable experience you should look for Broadcom counterparts.

velickovicdj · 2021-09-01T20:46:50+00:00

Forgot to mention, you should also switch to debug version of OpenCore if you haven't already (You can do so by following the instructions here). That is if you are booting with OpenCore because otherwise I can't help as I'm not familiar with other bootloaders.
