CroJack Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hi Is there an EFI pack for Monterey for this laptop configuration? Mainboard: Intel Kaby Lake-U Premium PCH Processor: Intel Kaby Lake Core i5-7200U 2.5-3.1GHz Memory: 8GB DDR4-2400 Graphics: Intel HD 620 Display: 15.6" 16:9 1920x1080 IPS Storage: 250 GB Samsung PM961 NVMe SSD (MZVLW512HMJP, PCIe 3.0 x2), connected via M.2 on SATA Express adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 31, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2022 Nothing here for this laptop afaik. You'll have to make one up, starting with basic usual settings for a regular Kaby Lake/HD620 laptop, then adding whatever may be required for your hardware accessories (LAN, WLAN/Bluetooth, audio, SD card reader, etc.). Can't remember if Samsung PM961 SSD is supported, unlike its PM981/PM991 brothers which don't allow to install/run/boot macOS on them. SATA Express? Wow, can't be many machines fitted with that.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 1 Moderators Share Posted January 1 PM961 indeed is supported. Assuming you have Intel Wifi / BT, give this a try. If it installs and works, post IOReg file using IORegistryExplorer.app v2.1 L570_OC_0.8.7.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroJack Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 It worked . I've installed Monterey on am external HDD because I don't have a compatible Wi-Fi card yet. The Intel one doesn't work. I'll run IORegistryExplorer tonight and post IOReg file here. Thanks a lot Jake Lo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroJack Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 CroJack’s MacBook Pro.ioreg Wi-Fi (Intel dual band wireless ac 8265) is not working. I tried with itlwm.kext (for Monterey) and HeliPort.app, and removed Airportitlwm.kext, but no luck. HeliPort.app shows wireless networks and even that I am connected to my own network, but there isn't any real connection to the internet. Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8265 should be compatible with OpenIntelWireless, so I'm probably doing something wrong. Brightness control doesn't work either.

CroJack Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 UPDATE!!! Wi-Fi works now. Had to delete Ethernet port in SystemPreferences/Network and com.apple.airport.preferences.plist preferences.plist NetworkInterfaces.plist com.apple.network.identification.plist in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration After reboot Wi-Fi started working.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 3 Moderators Share Posted January 3 Looks like I placed the wrong kernel limit for the AirportItlwm_Monterey.kext Fixed that, added patch for SD card reader, fix Powermanagement. Give this a try. replace Config and SSDT. Put AirportItlwm_Monterey.kext back in kexts folder Post new IOReg file after the update Archive.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
