MP 1,1-5,1 Manually Configured OpenCore on the Mac Pro

I can't even hibernate properly Windows. It shuts down immediately. Upon reboot it goes back to the hibernation state, but this does not work for me as I would like to control it remotely. It does not sleep like OSX does where it can be awaken with WOL.
Edit: Hibernation option in Windows actually shuts down as designed. Sleep on the other hand works similar to the OS X sleep.

This maybe a little off topic but hopefully this is helpful. I was trying to change the icon on the Windows drive under Catalina and write to it but had no success. Finally realized that the Windows disk in hibernation mode was locked for write. Went back to Windows and disabled hibernate. Not a big deal for me as I don't use Windows a lot so happy to reopen files, etc,. Once i did that, I could access the Windows drive on the Catalina side and change the icon and write to that drive. Makes it optimal for transferring files between the disks.

Same as before. Can perform update "natively" with complete iMac Pro SMBIOS spoofing.

Once finished, you can remove the SMBIOS spoofing.

Minimal spoofing. Did you try with no firmware features? Or with UpdateNVRAM as false?

What is your problem here I don't understand? , also how do you calculate the firmwareFeatures and the FirwareMask let's say I have 0xFF9FFF3F how do you convert it? is there any software I need to use?

I run the latest 0.6 and spoofed MacPro7.1 and everything is working now like a charm... And I wanted to thank you as well.. for the precious advises... and others here.

I am pretty sure that if you replace by what I gave you they will all show up normally ...

How do you calculate the FiwmareFeatures and the FirmwareFeaturesMask? any particular software you are using?

Yeah that I know how to use it, but how you go from 3FF58FFD 00000000 to data P/WP/QAAAAA= ??

Did you try my SMBIOS?

Yes I get that, but that does not explain how you go from this ---> 37E10FFC 00000000 to this ----> N+EP/AAAAAA=

He converted a Hex value to Base64.

You can use something like Hackintool

or an online converter such as https://base64.guru/converter/encode/hex

Are the imessage keys the same as compared to motherboard spoofing only (first page of hackintool)?

show what you mean

I would suggest taking the time to go through the wiki. You will learn to create a working config specific to your machine that you can expand and update yourself in the future.

His question is that he ask for help, where some on this forum should understand that not all information is just that easy for others to digest.

Have you check this encyclopedia on this topic and think that every cMP owner would easily understand?

It's more than an encyclopedia actually is a Roman... lol But I really found it informative and I learned by reading, and with the help of others here that are great assets for this forum united together we can do beautiful things...

I do not need MLB and ROM for imessage I have MacPro 5.1

What I meant is to check the imessage keys, as you manipulate values in the SMBIOS and the NVRAM and those keys, are used for identification purposes during the communication with the Apple servers. Anyway I will check them when I have time so there is no need to do anything.

How do you decode the ROM output --> 70cd609d9be6 to which rom the system really reads?

I have looked through this thread and searched globally to determine if Filevault 2 can be enabled under OC. I am afraid I am a little confused as some say Yes and some say No. I have a Radeon RX 580 8GB, running Catalina on a NVMe SSD, I have the gui bootpicker enabled. In settings, the "Turn On Filevault" appears to be active. I had turned off filevault before setting up OC but would like to have it on if possible.

Is it safe to enable it?

Thanks
