Firstly sorry my english not so good 🙂

Hello everyone,

I successfully installed the system on Macos (hackintosh) 10.15.5 and it is working correctly.

Please use my EFI folder in this repository.

I hope that will be useful 🙂

Current Bootlader

Opencore 0.5.9

Hardware

Asus Prime Z490-A
Intel i9-10900K
16GB DDR4 3000MHZ
SanDisk Extreme Pro 1TB M.2 NVMe 3D SSD
Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Primary)
Intel® I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet
Tp-Link 3468 1Gbit Pcie Card
Realtek ALC S1220A
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1
SMBIOS: iMac19,2

What’s Working ?

Intel UHD Graphics 630 (iGPU), Working correctly with Metal Support on DP (Display Port)
Onboard Audio Realtek ALC S1220A (if you have different motherboard, you may need to change layout-id)
SanDisk Extreme Pro 1TB M.2 NVMe 3D SSD, Test results below
Intel® I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet (Working with FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext)
Tp-Link 3468 Working with correctly – (This repository Have’nt this kext)
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe (Working with kXAudioDriver.kext)
Sleep/Wake
Reboot and Shutdown

Not Working

HDMI Port not working.

What solutions did I try for HDMI Port?

Framebuffer Patching with BusID with/without WhateverGreen.kext.

If you have an idea, please let me know.

Onboard Audio, HDMI Audio

I needed the list to run the audio.

AppleALC.kext
FakeID.kext
FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext
device-id=709D0000
layout-id=15000000

I am using HDMI audio on DisplayPort(DP) with LG 34WK650

USB Ports

I used hackintool for USB Port Map. You will see screenshot below. If you are using another ASUS model motherboard, USB Ports may not working correctly. In similar cases,

Enable USBInjectAll.kext
Disable USBPorts.kext
Disable SSDT-UIAC.aml
Enable XhciPortLimit frm KERNEL tab.
Reboot (Now you have all USB Ports,you can’t use it that way. You should not exceed the 15 port limit. This is absolutely essential for system stability.)
Open Hackintool app and REMAP according to you. Check this link for details The New Beginner’s Guide to USB Port Configuration

Installation

Bios Settings

Disable
- Fast Boot
- CSM
- Thunderbolt
- Intel SGX
- CFG Lock (This motherboard directly closed “Bios version 0403”)
Enable
- VT-x
- 4G Decoding
- Hyper-Threading
- XHCI Hand-off
- Os Type: Windows (You must remove all secure keys from Secure boot menu)
  - if not working this, please select “Other Os”
- IMPORTANT: You must set Onboard GPU Memory to 64MB for use the graphics card without any problems Installation
Create an Catalina 10.15.4 Installation Stick
Mount the EFI partition of the Installation USB (use Hackintool mount EFIs)
Copy my EFI folder to the root of the EFI partition
Go to EFI / OC and open the config.plist with Opencore Configurator (use latest version 2.5 buggy for 0.5.9 config files, use 2.6+)
Now navigate to PlatformInfo -> Generic “click up/down button” you must see Mac product list, Select iMac 19,2. Now You must generate a serial by using the GENERATE buttons.
Install MacOS Catalina

General Troubleshooting

The system does not boot Open config.plist with Opencore Configurator and change these values. You have to try each one individually
