It's all working 100% now - What did I do (Credits to CaseySJ)?
- Shutdown iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch
- Restart iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch
- Log out of iCloud on iPad
- When iOS asked if I wanted to delete local copies of various items I said yes
- Everything was on iCloud anyway
- Log out of iCloud on iPhone
- When iOS asked if I wanted to delete local copies of various items I said yes
- Everything was on iCloud anyway
- Log back into iCloud on iPad
- Log back into iCloud on iPhone Then on Hackintosh:
- Logout of iCloud
- When macOS asked if I wanted to delete local copies of various items I said yes
- Everything was on iCloud anyway
- Reboot
- Log back into iCloud
- Then shutdown, remove power plug, wait full 5 minutes.
- You may not need to wait so long... I was just doing other things...
- Reconnect and power up.
- I'm not responsible for any harm done to your PC :-) Use my experiences and EFI at your own risk.
- Everything I did went according @CaseySJ his outstanding guides on: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-gigabyte-designare-z390-thunderbolt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.267551/
Make sure (!) you are using the latest kexts:
- FakeSMC.kext https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fakesmc-kozlek/downloads/
- USBInjectAll.kext https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-usb-inject-all/downloads/
- Lilu.kext https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu/releases
- WhateverGreen.kext https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/releases
For convenvience purposes, use either OpenCore Configurator or Hackintool to mount EFI and update the Kexts.
You need to make your own serial number, so that your iCloud etc. will work without using someone else his serial number.
- In general; watch others do first to see if they succeed:
- Make sure first to install the latest Kext files
- Install latest OpenCore; but first make sure that this works according other users. Latest OpenCore build: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases
Download here. The EFI is without my serial number: https://mega.nz/folder/l9xGHQQC#63JkmaR5IT3ONQ4G1RmfLQ

So far Big Sur with OpenCore is working very well. A small how-to here:
PRECAUSION:
-
Currently using Big Sur Public Beta.
-
I'm using OpenCore 0.6.2. You can download the latest build from here which you can use during the EFI creation as per below: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases
-
Also great info from: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/extras/big-sur/#backstory
-
USB preparation and installation of Big Sur according this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J22vqnS-QZ4&t=2s
-
Create your EFI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyDJMNMFi6I&t=58s
-
When the EFI is done, add your SSDT's and DTSD's to the EFI partition using OpenCoreConfigurator to mount the EFI
-
After that, create your own Serial Number using OpenCoreConfigurator
(Item 0 is the oldest)
- Installed my system succesfully using OpenCore 0.6.0
- Tweaked it
- Updated to Beta 3 2b. 30-7-2020 15h42 OC060 BigSurB3 NoSN.zip
- Updated OpenCore from scratch to OpenCore 0.6.0 commitment 0e81540 via: https://github.com/williambj1/OpenCore-Factory/releases 3a. 2-8-2020 11h09 OC060 new BigSurB3 NoSN.zip
- Updated to Beta 4
- Updated to Public Beta (which I guess is the same as b4).
- 13-Oct-2020: Updated to latest Public Beta (20A5384c) and latest final OpenCore Build (v0.6.2). This is now my main system due to its stability :-)
- 2-Nov-2020: Updated to latest Public Beta (20B5012d), 11.0.1.
Download my latest Big Sur EFI here: https://mega.nz/folder/l9xGHQQC#63JkmaR5IT3ONQ4G1RmfLQ
The following is working on macOS Big Sur so far: Audio ✔ Ethernet ✔ Graphics ✔ HDMI ✔ Sleep/wake Function ✔ Power Management ✔ App Store ✔ iMessage ✔ iCloud ✔ FaceTime ✔ USB with 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and USB Type-C Ports ✔ Bootloader ✔ HDMI Audio ✔ Volume Hotkeys ✔ AirDrop ✔ HandOff ✔ Side Car :-( can't seem to get my iPad to work as a second screen (using iOS 14)
