Comments I can not take direct credit for all of this. Alot of others here and elsewhere helped a lot with the troubleshooting. This build is 99.99999% working. The only thing that is not is the USB3 Type C port on the board, as I could not figure out what the port was when making the SDST file, so I simply disabled it, as I did not need it.

Summary Long time mac user, went back to windows in 2017, got tired of windows 10, came back to mac, but rather than rebuy in completely, decided to see if I could get my parts to go Customac. Started off with UniBeast, and all the Tonymac stuff. The install went well, but I found that because of the ASROCK board, nothing ever got perfect. As time went things got less stable, mostly because of bad housekeeping on my part. I ultimately decided to do a vanilla build to see what I could get done.

This is for a vanilla build for 10.14.4

1. Go to https://Hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-Hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/ follow this as your general guide, to build your USB installer. USB2 Drives I found work best for the first run through on the board, even though there are USB3 ports, we will get to enabling those in a minute.

2. Kexts needed all of these will go in to the EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other folder

   1. AirportBrcmFixup.kext
   2. AppleALC.kext
   3. BrcmFirmwareData.kext
   4. BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext
   5. BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
   6. BT4LEContiunityFixup.kext
   7. FakePCIID.kext
   8. IntelMausiEthernet.kext
   9. Lilu.kext
   10. USBInjectAll.kext
   11. VirtualSMC.kext
   12. WhateverGreen.kext
   13. XHCI-200-series-injector.kext

3. When you install clover on your USB installer

4. Set Clover for UEFI Booting only

5. Install Clover in the ESP

6. UEFI Driver

   1. ApfsDriverLoader
   2. AptioMemoryFix
   3. HFSPlus
   4. You can at this point also put the needed kexts into the USB EFI Folder if you want to

7. For your config.plist use the attached (remember to add your own serial number and such in the SMBois) In Clover\ACPI\ patched

I created SSDT_UIAC to deal with the my USB3 functionality. The only port I could not get to USB3 speeds was the Type C port on the motherboard, I could not figure out what it was listed as, ultimately I disabled the port and am just ignoring it. This file gets all the other ports working just great though.

the SSDTs, config.plist, and screen caps of config are here https://filebin.ca/4cvi6n4fKuAG

1. Install your OS - since it is on a USB2 drive, it will take a little bit, enjoy the free time

After it is all installed, everything should just work now * Continuity, handoff, airdrop, all good * Full Graphics card accelerations I left the BIOS/UEFI settings basically stock, left VT-D on and virtualization. Turned off the type c port. Left the Internal Graphics on for quicksync and set the memory for that to 128Megs

I had to replace the stock wifi/bluetooth adapter at the top of the board with the broadcom chip. This was a pain. It is under a plastic housing that goes along the back side of the board. the screws, screw up from the bottom side. You will need to remove this first, to take the chip out and replace it. Chip fit perfectly in the housing for the wifi/bluetooth, just a swap out.

Good Luck!

What Works * All Front and Back USB Ports (minus the Type C port) * Graphics Acceleration * Audio * Wireless * Bluetooth * Ethernet * all drives * all senors * continuity * airdrop * handoff * virtualization (parallels) * basically all the things

What Does Not Work * USB Type C port on the mother board
