<< Solved >> Unable to boot any MacOs on Asus Vivobook X509FA-EJ311TS

[devastation222]

Also tried comet lake efi files, same results

 

[devastation222]

yes, as mentioned

also read post 2 of the guide

So now after mixing up your and dortania guide I've booted up Catalina, only thing not working is My nvme because if I don't put ssdt-nvme the OS won't boot ( any workaround for that?) And sound (will figure it out tomorrow) and I still have to test the power management

not sure, no files attached

not sure, no files attached

First of All, thank you so much to responding to all my questions. Secondly I'll state all the issues (EFI provided)
1 (most important). Any MacOS wint boot with my nvme, that is if I remove SSDT-NVMe the os wont boot, and I need my NVMe if I am to upgrade to Monterey
2. Sound not working
3. Screen Glitches If I close the lid and open it back on
4. Camera
5. As your guide states to use hackintool after install, hackintool shows my opencore as 0.6.1
6. What should I be doing now to make sure I can boot Monterey

Ok now for the good part
What works
Wifi (also I can choose which wifi to connect, I used ITLWM.kext to use the catalina installer)
Keyboard and trackpad with gestures
Gpu acceleration
Dual Boot

may not be compatible

 

[devastation222]

may not be compatible

After i removed both the ssdt-nvme and nvme fix the system now boots with the nvme. Why do you think removing the nvme fix kext made it boot?

probably wasn't compatible and wasn't needed

you only need kexts that makes something work

no need to throw all the kexts you can find on the internet and hope for the best

sometimes less is more
