Can't boot Sequoia after applying OCLP on Ivy Bridge
I was able to boot and install Sequoia with no issues. I needed to apply OCLP to patch my WiFi and iGPU video. After applying Root Patches for Modern Wireless and Graphics: Ivy Bridge I was unable to boot into my system anymore, I'm getting this: https://i.ibb.co/Ps7Rrmbr/20250406-181130.jpg
I already tried clearing the NVRAM just in case with no luck. If I revert the Root Patches, the system boots fine again, but of course I'm missing video acceleration and WiFi support.
Hardware:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K
GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
RAM: 2x16GB Kingston
Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z77-DS3H
Audio Codec: Realtek High Definition Audio
Ethernet Card: Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)
WiFi Card: TP-Link 802.11ac Network Adapter
What guide/tool followed:
Dortania
[OpenCore Visual Beginners Guide (for the WiFi)](https://chriswayg.gitbook.io/opencore-visual-beginners-guide/advanced-topics/open-core-legacy-patcher-oclp/broadcom-wifi-on-macos-sequoia)
What part I got an issue with: As described above, OCLP is causing boot issues after applying Root Patches and rebooting.
What files/config I am using: [https://i.ibb.co/vCY1P8Q0/Untitled.png](https://i.ibb.co/vCY1P8Q0/Untitled.png)
Created my EFI using ProperTree and GenSMBIOS.
Extra Info:
SMBIOS: MacBookPro15,4
Everything was working with no issues on Sonoma before, using the same EFI and config.plist

Problems with intel hd 630 on Kaby lake,please help.
So im trying to install either Sonoma or sequioia on this Dell optiplex 7050 but im having problems with video. So my pc has Windows on it and had an R5 430 Radeon card that i use for crt gaming, using another hard drive i started installing Sonoma following Dortanias guide. I had success, but i get no video aceleration. So i tooked the amd card out and now i dont get video at all with the onboard Intel video card. Ive tried a few arguments to no Good luck, i even tried to install fresh sequoia but looks like the installer starts all the way but i dont get video once it starts the instalation process, only on bios and open core to select my OS. Video Works on Windows just fine, so i know is not a hardware issue.With the Radeon r5 430 i get all the way to the installer. So its there by any chanse a way to make this r5 work with Sonoma or sequoia if not , its there a patch or something i need to do to abe able to use the Intel 630 card? i have followed dortanias guide but nothing seems to work. Also using dortanias sugested smbios i get the apple error mark and it wont boot, im using macmini8,1 as sugested on a solution i found, thats the only smbios that would boot and install all the way.

Succeeded, but got an issue with performance
I have a Lenovo V14-ADA with AMD Athlon Gold 3150U, 8 gigs of RAM, 256 gigs of SATA SSD I used to install Sequoia 15.3. After attempts by attempts finally I can used it for everyday usage.
But last time when I wanted to open Discord, as usual, the heavy animation boot made my laptop freezes, and came into a KP. Also my laptop temps is so hot. Is there a problem with performance setting? Or I just need to clean my laptop and change the thermal paste?

Bluetooth randomly stopped working
As the title suggests, my bluetooth was working just fine. But now when I try to turn it on, it turns off after some seconds. No devices show up, or my device show on other devices. When I go to about this Mac it says this
Bluetooth Controller:
Address: NULL
State: Off
Chipset: BCM_4350C2
Discoverable: Off
Firmware Version: v0 c0
Supported services: 0x392039 < HFP AVRCP A2DP HID Braille LEA AACP GATT SerialPort >
Transport: USB

I've tried redoing all my kexts to make sure I have the right ones, I made sure my config.plist is right (atleast to what might be right). But I don't know what's wrong, I've tried kexts that would "fix" it but nothing.

Got stuck in boot-loop - computer didn’t like SATA mode in AHCI
I have a DELL Desktop XPS 8940, windows 10.
I went through all the instructions to turn some BIOS settings off and enable/change others.
https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html#intel-bios-settings
After that, My computer got stuck in a boot loop. I troubleshot it and figured out that it was the changing of the "SATA Mode" to "AHCI" from "RAID ON" that was causing the issue. When I changed the SATA mode back to RAID ON, it finally actually loaded windows. It got unstuck from the boot loop.
So, another person said that MacOS won't work with the SATA mode in raid on, it has to be AHCI.
Looking for suggestions on how to make the computer/Windows work with the SATA mode changed?

In Memory Panic Stackshot Succeeded Error on AMD Ryzen
I'm helping a friend set up his Hackintosh. He has an AMD Royen 5 5600x and an AMD RX6700xt. His motherboard is a Gigabyte Aorus Elite B550 AX V2 v1.5.
It was very hard to even get to this point. I read the guide and tried to implement everything.
What I tried as a solution:
Disable CFG Lock
Enable SVM (Virtualization)
Set Secure Boot Mode to Disabled
Use OC Snapshot to get the keys in correct sequence.
Reset NVRAM
Reset NVRAM did not work very well. ResetNVRAMEntry.efi is entered in the Drivers folder and in the config.plist. However, it was not displayed as an option

Windows boot manager missing
I have two drives one is for system and the other is for data, i first partitioned the data drive to have 32gb storage for the Catalina I later installed. I successfully booted and installed Catalina on that partition which i call Z:. I used usb drive for the first boot obviously. Later I shutdown on Catalina and reboot to windows to repartition since i thought 32 wasnt enough so i made it 128 which is nearly all that left on the data drive and i set it as exFat. I then boot back to macos setup and it cant install macos there so i tried to boot back to windows by getting into bios. Thats when i saw windows boot manager was gone. But thing is before rebooting the system drive does appear to not have been formatted on macos setup. Anyone can help me on this?

Bootloop right after Installation of Sequoia on AMD
I'm trying to install macOS Sequoia on my AMD setup with OpenCore. I managed to download and start the installation via recovery through the USB, after which the MacOs Installer and Recovery dmg options appeared in OpenCore, selected MacOs Installer which led to the Apple logo with a progress bar and the words (x minutes remaining or something like that). This process was completed, but when restarting the Apple logo returns with the progress bar (but without any words this time), progresses for a few seconds and enters the bootloop. I've tried several combinations and read a lot, but I still can't figure out what's causing this.
My setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
MB: Gigabyte a320m-s2h
RAM: 8GB
GPU: Radeon RX 6600
SMBIOS: MacPro7,1
Checked quirks, UEFI, PlatformInfo, APFS, etc...
I used SSDT-EC-USBX.aml, SMCAMDProcessor, WhateverGreen, Lilu, VirtualSMC, AppleMCEReporterDisabler, RestrictEvents, among others.
Kernel patch for Ryzen activated (with Replace).

Battery Level Not Showing/Detected
Hello! I have successfully installed Hackintosh macOS Sonoma on my laptop, ASUS VivoBook TP412FA Intel i5-10210U. However, I realized that the battery is not detected. After stating that my battery is fully charged continuously. I have used SMCBatteryManager.kext and ECEnabler.kext and made sure it is enabled. However, the battery still does not appear. I glanced at Verbose Boot that ‘SMCBatteryManager failed to find batteries or adapters’. Sometimes when I restart with the adapter plugged in, the verbose boot suddenly turns black with nothing.

QuickEmu Monterey NVRam and Boot Picker
Running macOS Monterey in a QEMU VM (via QuickEmu). OpenCore works, but it always boots to the picker. Can’t get it to auto-boot macOS. For the life of me can't get it to book straight to boot drive.
What I’ve tried:
DefaultVolume = Monterey
Timeout = 0, ShowPicker = false
BlessOverride
SIP + SSV disabled
nvram boot-args="amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 -v"
Used macOS Startup Disk + bless → no effect
AllowSetDefault = true → Ctrl+Enter doesn’t persist
Tried hiding other entries, .contentVisibility, etc.
EFI modified directly via mounted OpenCore.qcow2
Looks like NVRAM isn’t persistent. Is there any known way to reliably force OpenCore to boot into macOS by default in QEMU (without hardware NVRAM)?

Adding a BCM94352Z NGFF to HP EliteDesk 800 35W G4
Hi All.
I've read many of the posts here about adding a WiFi-BT card to a hackintosh and tried the solutions suggested in those posts but none have worked. Very likely because I screwed up somewhere/everywhere
My Setup:
HP EliteDesk 800 35W G4 SFF, Mac OS Monterey 12.7.6, OpenCore 1.0.3 Debug.
The card I'm trying to add is described as: BCM94352Z M.2 NGFF
The WiFi-BT card I'm trying to add, I got off eBay, and the seller assures me it's a "drop in card" (No extra drivers needed) Both Ubuntu 22.x and Windows 10 on the same machine can see the card so I'm sure the card works.
I've currently got a CSR (Cambridge Radio Systems) BlueTooth USB dongle plugged into a USB port and the BlueToolFix.kext installed and that works ok for BT, but I really want to switch to a internal solution, and get WiFi support to boot...
Without the BT Dongle & BlueToolFix kext, System Information says this about Bluetooth:
Bluetooth Controller:
Address: NULL
State: Off
Chipset: BCM_4350C2
Discoverable: Off
Firmware Version: v0 c0
Product ID: 0x0001
Supported services: 0x382039 < HFP AVRCP A2DP HID Braille AACP GATT Serial >
Transport: UART
Vendor ID: 0x004C (Apple)
Hackintool says this about the WiFi-BT Card: (I think)
DEBUG VID DID SVID SDID ASPM Vendor Name
03:00.0 14E4 43B1 14E4 072A L0s+L1 Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries
Device Name Class Name SubClass Name
BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter Network controller Network controller
IOReg Name IOReg IOName Device Path
/RP08@1C/PXSX@0 pci14e4,43b1 PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1C,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
Kexts I've tried
BlueToolFixup.kext v2.6.9 (does enable my external USB BT Dongle
AirportBrcmFixup stops the machine from successfully booting
BrcmPatchRAM doesn't seem to do anything
I did read somewhere and have since lost the webpage, that I may need to add the WiFi-BT card to the DeviceProperties part of my config.plist but I'm not exactly sure what that should look like ?
Can anyone help ? (and thanks for wading through my ramblings)
