Xeon E3 1246v3 can't boot into Monterey Recovery to install with opencore

[Cosmix]

ok, sorry, it's been a while since I've dealt with this topic, now i have to figure out why the system still reboots -.-

Hello,
So, your system is a Haswell-based with integrated video.
As such, set your SMBIOS as Macmini7,1 (and NOT MacPro7,1) and install Monterey macOS ( regenerate serials, reset nvram).

Check the attached file !
==============
UPDATE

Main points for this file:

- it is ocvalidated
- un-used section were removed (the file is shorter)

- DeviceProperties for iGPU:

- for sound's layout-id, use alcid boot param

- SMBIOS is set to Macmini7,1

- prev-lang:kbd

Cheers.

Thank you very much for your help, I'm not getting any reboots now when I try to boot into recovery. Unfortunately, it still doesn't boot into recovery; I see the Apple logo now, but then it gets stuck, and nothing happens anymore. I'm starting to seriously consider giving up.

Hello,

DO NOT give up !

Try this setting :

UEFI -> Quirks -> ReleaseUsbOwnership -> True

Hello,

DO NOT give up !

Try this setting :

UEFI -> Quirks -> ReleaseUsbOwnership -> True

Also, you may try this config.plist (version v2).
It has five modifications :

- DevirtualiseMmio ( T > F )

- EnableSafeModeSlide ( F > T )

- AppleXcpmExtraMsrs ( T > F )

- SecureBootModel ( Disabled > Default )

- ResizeGpuBars ( 0 > -1 )

Did you create the USB stick using this procedure ?

UEFI -> Quirks -> ReleaseUsbOwnership -> True

No, I'm not giving up so easily. I will keep trying. In any case, thank you very much for your help and patience in assisting me so much.
If i set Ownership to True, all my ports go offline and nothing goes forward, so i disabled it again, but then it suck again.
I will now try your V2 plist and hope that it finaly boots up to recovery.

I also made some screens from my bios, maybe I've just made a mistake somewhere because I'm completely confused by all the changes.


Also, I'll include the current EFI folder again. Maybe I've made mistakes here now that I just can't see or overlook anymore.


Again, thnx for the help

You can test this procedure :

1. in config.plist disable the two kexts related to USB mapping (USBToolBox, UTBMap)
2. copy the USBInjectAll.kext in EFI/OC/Kexts
3. in config.plist enable USBInjectAll.kext
4. in config.plist enable XHCiPortLimit.
5. reboot
6. reset Nvram
7. reboot
8. install Hackintool utility (vers 4.0.3 is the latest)
9. map your USB ports and generate a USBPorts.kext file.
10. put the new generated USBPorts.kext in /EFI/OC/Kexts
11. in config.plist enable USBPorts.kext
12. in config.plist disable USBInjectAll.kext
13. in config.plist disable XHCIPortLimit
14. reboot
15. reset Nvram
16. reboot ...
