[tonio92]

hi Hervé

i have tested my laptop with the pack E6540-optimus bios A17 and the result is the same.

loop during the loading between acpibatterymanager and displaypolicy

 

please confirm that there is not update patch for the intel graphics boards : i have read that for a HD4000  with a new ig-platform-id for high sierra ?

HD4000 ??? You're very mistaken. That's Ivy Bridge integrated graphics...

 

You stated it yourself: you have HD4400 graphics, i.e. one of Intel's Haswell iGPU. You're meant to use Azul Layout #12 (layout-id 0x0a260006) and fake desktop HD4600 is 0412.

[tonio92]

yes , i have done a error and confusion in the dfferent name of graphics boards

 

Because of the new IntelGraphicsFixup with Lilu.kext, it is possible to delete the original patch :

<dict>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Enable 9MB cursor bytes, 0x0a260006</string>
<key>Disabled</key>

 

it seem to be used on E7440 desktop 

do you think that this solution is better for my bootpack

best regards

[Hervé]

It's disabled, so you can clearly remove it...   But that will not make any difference.

Replace the attached contents into /EFI/Clover

Files updated for HS

hi joe ,

thank you for you job.

it is now possible to enter in the first menu of OSX to format ssd and install high sierra

i will done to you some news after a full check 

best regards

[tonio92]

hi all,

i have installed high sierra in my E5440 with a partition in HFS+ (i used a SSD)

After clover boot , and initialized the ssd in HFS+ , i launch the installation in a terminal with the command : 

/Volumes/"Image Volume"/"install macOS High Sierra.app"/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --volume /Volumes/"HighSierra" --agreetolicense --converttoapfs NO

some kexts are copied to S/L/E ( AppleBacklightInjector.kext,AppleHDA_ALC292.kext,CodecCommander.kext,andDisableTurboBoostBattery.kext)

Audio /wifi/camera/USB/are now OK 

I have a module Bluetooth BCM20702A0. To activate this module i try to compile two old kexts (ok with sierra) Brcmfirmwarerepo.kext and brcmpatchram2.kext

bluetooth is activated but impossible to connect a device.

 

a solution ?

best regards

@tonio92 Did you try BTFirmwareUploader.kext?

 

Also, please tell me your device's product and vendor id.
