Latitude 5490: Catalina fine tuning help needed

[Hitchi]

I still have one strange issue that I was not aware of before. I think I've messed something up with the EFI and boot partitions. The OS is booting fine and works great but only started from the USB. What I've done so far:

 

- mounted the EFI partition of the stick and copied the EFI folder to the desktop

- unmounted

- mounted the macOS partition and deleted the content of the EFI folder and copied the EFI folder of the USB stick to 

 

When I now try to start without US I get a blue screen with Spanish language (I guess). So only booting up with USB inserted.... did I miss something? When I enter the one-time boot menu I see 3 entries (macOS, Opencore, UEFI partition of the macOS SSD) all 3 options bring me to the blue screen

Press spacebar to review the "Reset NVRam"

Select that, it'll reboot. this time select OpenCore. 

If still not working, then go into the BIOS boot options. Delete OpenCore, create a new boot option, point it to /EFI/EFI/Boot/Bootx64.efi. Move it to the top, Save and reboot

Select the new boot option

even if I got the nvram clear "not permitted" error it got reseted

 

after adding a boot ntry with the right pointer to the EFI folder it finally starts without USB...

 

THANKS a lot!

 

Still one question. BT is working (as well as WiFi) with the Intel AC8265 but only sound... microphone especially in MS teams is not working... only cracking sounds... I guess I'll have to use a macOS compatible Broadcom WiFi/BT card, right?

EDIT: OK found a fix without installing a new BT card. Using my Jabra BT headset with the original Dongle... works perfect now with microphone in MS Teams.

never thought about using a macOS (even if it's Hackintosh) as daily driver but hell yes, purely for working purpose it's much more efficient than using Windows 10
