marlov Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I've found a UEFI ready for e5440. I've used it and I'm now typing from my catalina e5440 (sharing my android network via bluetooth) I'm still booting via pendrive because I don't know exactly which version of clover should I be using. All the ones I tried told me that this version of macOS is not supported. Any ideas? Also, the trackpad kinda works, but it's really bad, it only moves the cursor with a big surface are touching it, like my thumb or so. Last but not least, my wifi is not working. I've found a post that someone made it work, but I'm not sure how. I trying to use that guy kexts, but ' don't really know the process to change mines I've installled some of his kext via kext wizard, than udated the permissions and cache. However, nothing happened. Not sure if because I'm booting via pen drive still. Ah, I've put them under the kext folder of the pendrive as well. but it didn't work Looks like I'm almost there, my first working installation yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 27, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2020 What wifi does it have? Intel is not supported. Need to be replace with a supported device. See here My recommendation is go with a Broadcom chipset, Atheros has been dropped. For Clover install the latest 5104 / 5103. You'll encounter the message that it's not supported, Just select install anyway. After that, copy the files from you USB EFI over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlov Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Yeah, its a intel I will replace it asap. About the clover, I did it :DDD Followed the guide that was mentioned in this thread (here), replaced the uefi folder and used kext utility to install all the kexts presents in the uefi folder. Seems to be working 99%, sometimes when booting, I got a prohibit symbol, not sure why. It's fixed trying again or selection the preboot partition in clover instead of the "normal" one. The only true thing thats getting me mad is the trackpad. All my kext are ACPIBatteryManager.kext IntelMausiEthernet.kext AirportBrcmFixup.kext Lilu.kext AppleALC.kext USB_Injector.kext AppleBacklightFixup.kext VoodooPS2ControllerR6.kext FakeSMC.kext WhateverGreen.kext Am I missing something that could potentially fix the prohibition (using -v, it shows that the read file command returned 0x07 and the boot failed due to this) And/or fix the bad movement of the trackpad? I mean, it's working, but looks like it's really not sensitive (not in speed), if I gentle swipe my finger in it, it doenst move the cursor at all, but if I increase the contact area, it works fine (if I swipe my finger on it's side or push a finger harder into it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 27, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2020 don't know where you get your files but USB_injector might be wrong for your system. It might not be configure correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlov Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Should I use that usbInjectAll? I got them from some youtube video, the guy had the efi/kexts ready for all Exx40 ready, sounded good for me haha To replace a kext, it's simply changing them in the efi/clover folder and putting them under /system/extensions....? One additional thing I've noticed right now, there's no way to reduce the screen brigthness, my eyes are burniiiiingggg ahhaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengstapo Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Have u tried with latest kext version? Is ur installation method via createinstallmedia ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 27, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2020 @marlov No need to quote on every reply. Post your Clover folder for review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlov Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 @gengstapo Yes, its made via createinstallmedia. About the kexts, I'm not sure how new they are, I dont even know if I'm using exactly the ones I should. I've just followed some internet tutorial. But it took me much further then the previous time I've tried to do it @Jake Lo I'm using the e5440_10.15_high_res_intel.zip (uefi/clover folder) found elsewhere [NB: link removed].

gengstapo Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 To verify it was latest can be done once u installed clover configurator Open it & head to "Kext Download" something like that & it will show u the comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 27, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hmm, those files look like from some of my bootpacks, even down to the directory structure like /EFI/Clover/kext/Other/LE. I have since changed it to /E/C/kexts/Other/CopyToLE. USB_injector.kext from his files is from Hervé's E6440 guide, so it might not be suitable for the E5440. Here, replace the attached contents into /EFI/Clover overwriting the old E5440_Catalina.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
