Hi Zazaki,
I have the same config as yours, I have been trying to enable RX5700xt in the past 2 days, but no luck, do you mind sharing your config with me?
Thank you

I checked the string, it is OK. Unfortunately, I still got the same error - a black screen when trying to install Big Sur.
I tried installing Monterey and here it went a little better: the installer only threw an error at the end: "A required firmware update could not be installed"....
I had had same issue as you had, what I did, was get a good install at Mojave, then ensure my ROM version was 144.0.0.0.0, then I create an install USB from OLCP, then I boot up from the USB, delete the HDD that I was installed, be sure the new HDD that you create do not have the EFI, all system HDD do not have the old EFI fodder, then you should be fine!
For Monterey installation, you have to do this.
That Board-ID change is solely for enabling all the ports on the graphic card. Monterey installation is another issue.
@ John, the problem is: – i cannot boot from USB disk created via OCLP, because USB disk created such way is not bootable (not blessed). I bless it in recovery mode, but, even after that, after USB boot, Big Sur installer hang my system.
Probably the cause is my NVIDIA Quatro NVS510 Card (4 mini Display Ports). I like it, because I have a pair old Apple Vision monitors with mini DP connectors, the quality of image is still outstanding, and they work seamlessly in Mojave (camera and sound) without mess with interface adapters. But the software I use (VS Code, for example) will lose support any day now in Mojave. Or they have already lost it. So I'm trying to pick up the system.
@ h9826790 – thank you for another advice, I will try and give report.
Hi,
Have you tried Apple's way to create the bootable macOS USB? here is the link
Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support
You can use a USB flash drive or other secondary volume as a startup disk from which to install the Mac operating system. These steps are primarily for system administrators and other experienced users who are familiar with entering commands in Terminal.
I did, I moved back to Mojave first after I was done with Mojave, and then I upgraded to Monetery, you can ensure your system won't freeze in Mojave.
Hello All,
I am hoping someone can help me to let my RX5700 work, I was trying to get it done, but after I tried both @ h9826790 and OCLP, the system was installed successfully, but the HW acceleration still failed, Any idea?
Please see the photo in detail!
Thank you

Please replace the whole EFI folder by my latest package (assuming your system files are NOT patched by OCLP), your screen capture suggest you haven't done the steps correctly.
Of course, you have to turn on the 32GB DIMM support for your memory config.
If you did everything right, both System Info and Hackintool should show 9144.x.x.x.x in the BootROM version, but not 144.0.0.0.0 (assuming you are using my package).
Remove/Mask your serial number in the hardware overview image. Someone may use it to spoof your machine for apple services.
@h9826790 Thanks to your advice, finally managed to install Monterey, but Mac Pro does not see NVidia NVS510 card. Mac Pro detects a noname card with only 22 MB RAM and runs very slowly. That is, without any acceleration.
I tried to apply ROOT PATCH with OCLP installer (it recognized NVidia GPU Keppler correctly), but after this operation at startup the image in the monitor disappears. There is no video signal on any of the card's four mini DP slots. Unfortunately, this card only has miniDP connectors, no others, so I guess the situation is difficult.

I reviewed your last few posts.
You initially asked for Big Sur issue, which has Kepler support.
But then you changed to Monterey, which has no Kepler support, that's why your GPU become a no name card.
If you want to use OCLP, please use full set of OCLP, including let it to install OC for you.
You can't mix my OC EFI folder with OCLP root patching. It won't work.
That's normal. The Sonoma update prompt is always there. You better just ignore it.
Let me explain in turn: Trying to install BigSur, even after replacing the text strings in config.plist still ends up with a black screen.
So I tried installing Monterey, which was successful, but without acceleration. That's why I tried ROOT PATCH with OCLP. Which also ended in failure.
So the question is: Is it possible to get acceleration of the Nvidia NVS card (GPU Keppler) in Monterey within the Martin Lo package?
As for OCLP: I tried to use it before I installed the Martin Lo package. OCLP was unable to create a proper EFI partition - it was missing the BOOT folder and some others files also are missing, so there was no way to boot.

OCLP has no BOOT folder, that's normal.
For most GeForce Kepler GPU, this should work, but I am not sure if it works for your NVS card. You may have to add the Device ID manually by yourself.

I am using your open-core package, and everything is good, but it seems when I plug in the 2nd display, it can not detect it, any idea why? Thank you!
Hi All,
Just wonder if I use Martin Lo's package, should I remove the firmware number in the config file or just keep it?
Thank you

I'd keep it, it doesnt hurt. The idea behind it is to avoid an installer asking for a firmware update.
My ESP tools use it to detect the version / flavor of the bootloader, btw.
