Kaby Lake Hackintosh - macOS boots to the log on page fine, but screen quickly goes black

[novasimiti20]

Greetings,

I recently spent $94 on both a DVI to HDMI adapter ($19), and a HDMI to USB adapter ($69) from Best Buy, and decided to use this waste to make a Hackintosh again on my HP Pavilion 570. However, after the framebuffer patching, macOS finally booted with the Apple logo but once the logon screen faded, the screen went dark. I don't know why it's doing this and I really need help on making this work, on top of that also getting my Smart TV display to work (the monitor you see in the following video is a Samsung monitor connected via DVI to HDMI adapter, the DVI part on the monitor's back, HDMI on the computer). Only the Samsung monitor works, not the Smart TV display.

Video clip here

Specs:
HP Pavilion 570 Desktop
2 TB SSD (Windows 10 and macOS installed in one disk)
12 GB RAM
Intel Core i5-7400, iGPU 630 only NO DGPU.

Here's my EFI file if anyone wants, it is attached. Any help is appreciated thank you <3 (I only included the OpenCore related stuff)

Remove the GPU, IMEI and HDEF renames as its no longer required.

i5-7400 device ID is natively supported so spoofing shouldn't be required.

It is clear that the system has HDMI but what ports does the monitor/TV has?

Hello,

I realize that unplugging and plugging in the HDMI port (the DVI to HDMI), macOS display shows. As for the TV (second monitor), it has HDMI. There is only one HDMI port on my computer, which is where the monitor's DVI to HDMI adapter was used.

I am however using a USB HDMI adapter, it is recognized in macOS but it won't show a picture. I wonder how I can get it fixed? The HDMI (for the Samsung TV) is connected to the USB HDMI adapter.

Please provide the info like the following:

Monitor #1: HDMI/DP/DVI
Monitor #2/TV: HDMI/DP/DVI

PC: HDMI/DP/DVI

I am however using a USB HDMI adapter, it is recognized in macOS but it won't show a picture. I wonder how I can get it fixed? The HDMI (for the Samsung TV) is connected to the USB HDMI adapter.

For USB to HDMI, it requires a DisplayLink driver.

For USB to HDMI, it requires a DisplayLink driver.

Monitor 1: Samsung SyncMaster (DVI to HDMI, technically HDMI)
Monitor 2: Samsung Smart TV (HDMI, but using USB HDMI adapter)

I did some theories last night! I realize Monitor 1 work, but after macOS startup it goes to a black screen, the only temporary solution for now is unplugging the HDMI part from my computer and plugging it back in, which should show a picture.

For monitor 2, after some googling and reading the quick start guide I realized it needed drivers which are the same installation as on the macOS side. I installed it and got my second monitor to work.

However only issue is, when I put the computer to sleep, and after waking it up the first monitor doesn’t turn on, but the second one sure does. However when I unplug the hdmi cable from my first monitor and plug it back in, the system freezes/locks up. I would still like to fix this issue, so that instead of me having to constantly unplug/replug my HDMI cable every time macOS loads or comes back from sleep, I can have it go smooth sailing.

Provide the model numbers.

Indicates framebuffer patching issue.

I guess you’re right, it is a framebuffer patching issue. I also believe there is no need for con1 in my config.plist, since the USB HDMI adapter already requires drivers to be installed same way as real Mac. Tonight I’ll remove con1 from my config.

How can I go around to patching con0?

Tried patching my framebuffer based on the guide, macOS still goes to black screen (unless I unplug/replug my DVI to HDMI adapter) on startup.

UPDATE: I enabled the force display online thingy in device properties, and now macOS no longer shows a black screen on startup. However, when I put the computer to sleep, macOS no longer displays a picture on both monitors, and unplugging/replugging my HDMI cable doesn't do anything.

You seem to have just copied the frame buffer data without understanding the guide. As per your system specs, your system has 1xHDMI and 1xVGA which means two connectors only, the rest are not relevant. In addition, there is no DP on your system but you're patching a connector for DP.
