MarkyMac Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi, Catalina installed via USB stick with Clover. Generic and E7240/7440 EFI taken from this site. Sound, screen and LAN working. No Wireless or Bluetooth. Debug attached. Have tried manually adding a few kexts, and now it won't boot unless I go to safe mode. Any ideas on getting access back (have been booting from USB installer and deleting kexts, but can't find the issue!)? Also what am I missing for Wifi/BT?

MarkyMac Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Having installed chrome, graphics look a bit dodgy, at least in Safe mode. Still stuck unable to do a normal boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMac Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Can't mount EFI in safeboot - Clover doesn't appear to do anything when I click Open, and "mount_msdos" in Terminal doesn't work for me. Booting into USB installer is horrid, and I've no idea what I'm doing when I get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 25, 2019 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2019 what wireless device does it have??? Not sure what kexts you added and to where, so can't tell you what to remove. Best you remove whatever you had added, just keep the original bootpack then repair permission and rebuild cache reboot normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMac Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 After going back to basic kexts from core EFI and 7440 bundle, and removing nearly all kexts from /L*/E*, I'm in again. Wifi is DW1510, working fine in High Sierra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMac Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 OK, so I've just found this and it worked - I have WIFI! https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/11138-inventory-of-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-2-sierra-catalina/?tab=comments#comment-86614 Need help with bluetooth! Will keep digging So now, how do I double check that I don't have anything slightly off? I guess I'm asking how I know if I'm "done"??? Or is it just a case of looking out for stuff that looks odd?

MarkyMac Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Doh, maybe DW1510 doesn't have bluetooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMac Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Grr, now sound not working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 25, 2019 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2019 Correct DW1510 is wifi only, for bluetooth combo, you'll need DW1550. For sound make sure to add CodecCommander.kext to /L/E Repair permissions and rebuild cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMac Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 CodecComander.kext already present. Did repair and rebuild anyway (but have been doing that regularly!). Rebooted, and it works. Odd. I wonder if it's standby related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
