⚠️ Warning A⚠️ ： Before using the EFI, you should at least understand how do you install macOS and understand the file structure of OpenCore.
Directly using this EFI does not mean your system can boot normally, even though the configuration is identical, you would need these knowledge to solve problems in your case.
⚠️ Warning B⚠️ ： This EFI is based on OpenCore, if you currently are using Clover, please read following document to avoid unpredictable error.
⚠️ Warning C⚠️ ：This EFI does not contain any platform information (SN, UUID etc.). You can generate these information by using OpenCore Configurator.

The motherboard comes with Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 module, support 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0 with 2x2 802.11ac 2.4/5Ghz Wi-Fi. We need to remove this module and replace it with BCM94360CS2 module,BCM94360CS2 module required an NGFF to M.2 adapter. Steps shown below（By icyleaf）：
In Windows 10 you might need to install drivers manually in order to use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Download Z39PGIX4.40C, store in a thumb drive and flash the BIOS by executing Instant Flash. Steps of how to flash BIOS can be found on Asrock Official site 📖ASRock BIOS Upgrade Instruction.
This is for enabling Thunderbolt 3 on MacOS.（Do I have to flash this BIOS? I tried and no good with TB 3 while using BIOS 4.40😂.） If you do not use Thunderbolt 3 port, you can skip this step. You can flash back to 4.40 anytime you want.
- ⚠️Warning：There are risks while flashing BIOS,
- ⚠️This instruction dose not responsible for any hardware damage.
You also need to check your rp21's reg value to choose the proper SSDT file by using IORegistryExplorer.
Download IORegistryExplorer , search for rp21 and check the value under reg.
If it includes dc, you don't need to do anything. However if it includes d8 then you need to download the SSDT-TbtOnPch_PINI_D8.aml file under Tools, then put it under OC -> ACPI and remove SSDT-TbtOnPch_PINI.aml. You need to made modification to your config file as well.

Step 1：
Execute in terminal
sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook
If the output is
The domain/default pair of (com.apple.loginwindow, LogoutHook) does not exist
Means no LogoutHook left.
-
Step 2：
Remove
LogoutHook.commandfile,execute in terminalsudo rm -rf $(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook)

- Execute in terminal each line at a time,
sudo -s
sudo nvram -c
sudo nvram myvar=test
exit
- Reboot your device, then execute in terminal
vram -p | grep -i myvar
- If
myvar testis included in your return line, then the NVRAM is working properly.
- Downlaod Hackintool
- Launch
Hackintoolthen chooseUSB
- Select the ports you don't need then click
-to delete them. - The number of ports（
SSP1is not included）should below 15, you need to choose the type of device for them as well（USB2，USB3，TypeC+SW，TypeCandInternal） ⚠️ Noticed：HS14should be set asInternal
- Port distribution shown as below（
HSstands forUSB2andSSstands forUSB3）
- Export the kext file, which usually would save to your desktop as
USBPort.kext, put it inEFI->OC->Kext. - Reboot your system.
The latest release of this EIF is using the FakeSMC by CloverHackyColor which supports AMD's RX5000 Series and RX6000 Series GPU Die temperature sensor.
There are many applications are not optimized for Big Sur with the new icon style, we can replace these icons for a unify UI. Image below is how the lunchpad looks like in my case ：
You can download these icons form macosicons.
I personally also make some of the icons and uploaded them to this website (this is an open-sourced project). If you are capable to make icons for the application you are using, please feel free to make contribution to this project.
