Once system is installed, you may update Chameleon to a recent release such as r2395, r2401, r2468 or r2679. Enoch branch is a suitable alternative too.

 

Everything in the pack below:

  • E6220_i5-2520M_HD3000_Mav-Pack.zip
  • E6220_i5-2520M_HD3000_Mav-Pack_#2.zip
  • E6220_i5-2520M_HD3000_Mav-Pack_#3.zip
  • E6220_i5-2520M_HD3000_Mav-Pack_#4.zip
  • E6220_i5-2520M_HD3000_Mav-Pack_#5.zip

 

:!:   :!:   :!:  Other E6220 laptops fitted with a different CPU will require a different (and suitable) SSDT table than provided in the above pack (can be looked up on the web or created with SSDT generator tool -> See RampageDev's blog for detailed guide).  In such cases and in order to avoid CPU power management-related kernel panics (KP), NullCPUPowerManagement kext is probably required until the CPU-specific SSDT is generated. The kext just needs to be added to /Extra/Extensions followed by myHack->myFix (quick).

Not working

  • Nothing

 

Not tested:

  • SmartCard reader

 

USB installer creation procedure:

  • Mount InstallESD.dmg found in Install OS X Yosemite.app/Contents/SharedSupport
  • Then mount BaseSystem.dmg (hidden file) 
open /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg
  • Use Disk Utility to restore the contents of BaseSystem.dmg on a USB key (or HDD partition) formatted Mac OS extended (journaled).
  • Remove link for Packages in folder System/Installation of your USB key 
rm /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/System/Installation/Packages
  • Copy folder Packages located in InstallESD.dmg to folder System/Installation of your USB key 
cp -R /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/System/Installation
  • Copy the 2 hidden files (BaseSystem.dmg & Basesystem.chunklist) of InstallESD.dmg to the root of your USB key 
cp /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.* /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1
  • Copy the patched AICPUPM kext available below to /System/Library/Extensions of the USB installer to avoid Sandy/Ivy Bridge CPU-related KP (due to BIOS-locked MSR) or use NullCPUPowerManagement:
  • Repair kexts permissions 
sudo chmod -R 755 /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/System/Library/Extensions
sudo chown -R 0:0 /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/System/Library/Extensions

To boot with Chameleon (you can safely use versions r2395, r2401 or r2468):

  • Download the appropriate package off InsanelyMac's repo and install Chameleon on the USB installer partition called "OS X Base System"
  • Create a folder "Kernels" under /System/Library of the USB installer and place a copy of the vanilla kernel there as "kernel"
  • Create a folder "Extra" at root of your USB installer using the following pack:
  • Copy the kexts from the pack to /System/Library/Extensions, repair permissions and rebuild kext cache 
sudo chmod -R 755 /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/System/Library/Extensions
sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/System/Library/Extensions
sudo touch /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/System/Library/Extensions
sudo /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/usr/sbin/kextcache -Boot -U /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1 -K /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System\ 1/System/Library/Kernels/kernel

With Chameleon, it's critical to rebuild the cache with above commands if you use the FileNVRAM.dylib module or the installer/Yosemite installation will be unbootable without cache. Ok without the module though. Reinstate the module to boot with cache. Bear that in mind any time you add or modify kexts in Yosemite.
 
 
Yosemite installation procedure:

  • Boot your USB installer and proceed with installation (if prompted for Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, just press [space])
  • Upon completion, reboot your freshly made Yosemite installation via your USB installer and complete 1st boot system configuration
  • Install Chameleon bootloader on Yosemite partition
  • Copy the patched AICPUPM kext to /S/L/E
  • If applicable, patch the BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport kext of /S/L/E/IOBluetoothFamily PlugIns to gain enabling/disabling of DW375 BlueTooth through Finder bar icon
  • Copy the Extra folder of your USB installer to your Yosemite partition
  • From Terminal, repair kext permissions and rebuild cache 
sudo chmod -R 755 /S*/L*/E*
sudo chown -R 0:0 /S*/L*/E*
sudo touch /S*/L*/E*
sudo kextcache -Boot -U /
  • From Terminal, adjust Sleep mode 
sudo pmset hibernatemode 0
sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage

 
:!:    :!:    :!: Again, E6220 laptops fitted with a CPU other than an i5-2520M will require a different and suitable SSDT table than provided in the above pack (can be looked up on the web or created with SSDT generator tool -> See RampageDev's blog for detailed guide).

Bluetooth patch

 
In the case of DW375, simply add the following entry to the Info plist of BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport plugin of IOBluetoothFamily kext:

<key>Dell DW375: PID 33159/0x8187, VID 16700/0x413C</key>
<dict>
        <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
        <string>com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>
        <key>IOClass</key>
        <string>BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>
        <key>IOProviderClass</key>
        <string>IOUSBInterface</string>
        <key>LMPLoggingEnabled</key>
        <true/>
        <key>IOProviderClass</key>
        <string>IOUSBDevice</string>
        <key>idProduct</key>
        <integer>33159</integer>
        <key>idVendor</key>
        <integer>16700</integer>
</dict>

:!:  :!:  :!: Always patch from the current version of the kext as Apple as a long tendency of modifying its Bluetooth/USB kexts at each release. Previous kext versions are usually not compatible, so you cannot usually port a previous patch from an earlier OS X version. :!:  :!:  :!:

Further to new study, the patch for SNB framebuffer kext was further refined to support DVI output off docking stations such as port replicator E-Port K07A002 (tested Ok) or E-Port Plus K09A001 (tested Ok).

K07A002.jpg K09A001.jpg

 

Full details available here.

 

NB: The USB3.0 ports of those docking stations/port replicators work OOB but only at USB2.0 speed on the E6220 since this laptop has no built-in XHCI controller.

I've spent some additional time on the E6220 and the E-Port replicator K07A002 trying to work out multiple external displays. At 1st, things looked hopeful and promising, but I never reached the targeted goal. Even though OS X did report 3 x displays (LCD + VGA + DVI), only one external display worked, never both...

E6220_triple_displays.jpg

 

No problem getting 2 x external displays with LID closed though. That works perfectly.

E6220_dual_external_displays.jpg

 

Then I found that SandyBridge graphics do not support 3 independant displays, only 2, so that figured!
 
I slightly updated my SNB FB kext's patch to reflect port numbers and connector types as reported in IOReg:
FB@0 -> LVDS, port #0, connector-type 0200 0000
FB@1 -> HDMI, port #5, connector-type 0008 0000
FB@2 -> VGA, port #8, connector-type 0004 0000 or 0001 0000 or 0010 0000 or 1000 0000
FB@3 -> DVI, port #7, connector-type 0004 0000
 

01 02 04 00 10 07 00 00 10 07 00 00   // vanilla: nb of connectors -> "04"
05 03 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00   // vanilla: laptop's own LCD display
02 05 00 00 00 08 00 00 05 00 00 00   // patched: HDMI, display port #5 (built-in port)
06 02 00 00 00 04 00 00 08 00 00 00   // patched: VGA, display port #8 (built-in + docking-station port)
04 06 00 00 00 04 00 00 07 00 00 00   // patched: DVI, display port #7 (docking-station port)

'played a little further to get the DP port of my E-Port Replicator K07A002 to work.

 

I don't have a DP-capable display so I used a DP-to-HDMI adapter to connect to my HD TV. Output display + HDMI audio through DP port was then obtained when setting port number to 6 in any of the display output lines. For instance:

02 05 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00

or

04 06 00 00 00 04 00 00 06 00 00 00

We can therefore deduct that DP output is available through port #6.

 

With that revised config I retain direct HDMI output through the E6220 built-in HDMI port but no HDMI audio, except through DP port (!). In terms of FB and connector type details, IOReg shows:

FB@2 -> DP, port #6, connector-type 0004 0000

 

'seems to go to the detriment of VGA output though...

  • Copy the appropriate El Capitan vanilla kernel to /System/Library/Kernels. Copies of the kernels are available here.

 

2) 10.11 installation

  • Boot the 10.11 USB installer (it may take a little time to kick in) with -f -v boot flags
  • At OS X installer main screen, open up Disk Utility in Utilities menu
  • If applicable, partition your target disk in GPT/GUID scheme
  • Create your target 10.11 partition and format it as OS X Extended (Journaled)
  • Close Disk Utility and proceed with OS X 10.11 installation as usual

 

3) Post-installation fine-tuning

  • Reboot the 10.11 USB installer (it may take a little time to kick in)
  • At OS X installer main screen, open up Terminal in Utilities menu
  • Verify CoreStorage installation disk mode 
diskutil list
  • If CoreStorage activated for Fusion drive, revert to legacy mode 
diskutil corestorage revert <device> (for example: /dev/disk1)
  • Identify your freshly made 10.11 partition name 
df
  • Copy the Extra folder from the USB installer to your identified 10.11 disk partition 
cp -R /Extra /Volumes/<your fresly made 10.11 partition name> (for example: cp -R /Extra /Volumes/OSX_disk)
  • Reboot the 10.11 USB installer, press a key at delay bar (or F8) to interrupt boor process and select your freshly made 10.11 disk partition. You'll then be booting El Capitan for the 1st time
  • Complete the 1st boot installation finalisation
  • Once at the 10.11 desktop, run the Enoch r2795 package from your USB installer to install Enoch on your HDD; it should be installed on the 1st partition of the disk
  • Eject the 10.11 USB installer and put it aside
  • :excl: Disable hibernation (can be done later, but should be done): open up Terminal and type the following commands 
sudo pmset hibernatemode 0
sudo pmset hibernatefile /dev/null
sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage
  • Reboot your finalised El Capitan installation

 

After reboot, enabled audio and optimise prelinked kernel:

  • copy all kexts from /Extra/Extensions to /Library/Extensions (ignore and acknowledge the permissions-related error messages)
  • copy patched AppleHDA from /Extra/Extensions/Copy_to_SLE to /System/Library/Extensions
  • repair kexts permissions and rebuild cache: 
sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E*
sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E*
sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E*
sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E*
sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E*
sudo touch -f /L*/E*
sudo kextcache -Boot -U /
  • Edit /Extra/kernel.plist and set KernelBooter_kexts parameter to No 
<key>KernelBooter_kexts</key>
<string>No</string>
  • Boot time will be faster in that configuration mode where add-on kexts are cached from /L/E, not injected from /E/E.

 

NB: After any kexts modification, whether to /S/L/E or to /L/E, you must repair permissions and rebuild cache as detailed above.

 
:!:   :!:  :!: Again, E6220 laptops fitted with a CPU other than an i5-2520M will require a different and suitable SSDT table than provided in the above pack (can be looked up on the web or created with SSDT generator tool -> See RampageDev's blog for detailed guide).

Edit #1: 12 Apr 2016

  • Updated pack #2: fixes some incorrect settings in _PRW methods of DSDT devices EHCx/GLAN/HDEF that could prevent proper wake.

 

- - - - - - - - - -
Edit #2: 28 Jul 2016

  • Revised bootpack #3 with updated DSDT devices to improve compatibility with MacBookPro8,1 and remove the need for VoodooSDHC kext which causes issues with lid sleep and wake in general.
    • wireless: renamed RP05.PXSX to RP05.ARPT
    • SD card reader: renamed RP06.PXSX to RP06.SDXC + added compatibility with Apple's own pci14e4,16bc
    • lid: renamed LID to LID0

 

- - - - - - - - - -
Edit #3: 01 Nov 2016

  • Revised bootpack #4:
    • replaced older VoodooPS2Controller v1.8.9 which caused KP from 10.11.4 onwards by Dr Hurt's Release 4 which works perfectly in El Capitan
    • ported DW375 Bluetooth module + DW5550/HP hs2430/F5521gw WWAN module patches to FakeSMC (avoids patching vanilla kexts)
    • added AppleHDA_IDT_92HD90 + patched AppleHDA v274.12 kexts (latter to be copied to /S/L/E)
    • added Patched_AppleRTC_v2.0 + patched AICPUPM up'ed to v918.0.0 + patched IOGraphicsFamily up'ed to v92.4.1 (all to take precedence over vanilla kexts in /S/L/E)
    • added the correct USBInjector kext tuned to MBP8,1 SMBIOS profile

  • If your E6220 is fitted with a different CPU than the i5-2520M, download Pike R Alpha's SSDT generator tool and generate your own CPU-specific SSDT. Copy the resulting SSDT.aml file to /Extra folder (it's normally prompted by the tool)
  • Reboot your finalised Sierra installation

 

Please note that:

  • Loading injected kexts from /E/E with boot option KernelBooter_kexts=Yes is slower than loading cached kexts placed in /S/L/E or /L/E.
  • After any kexts modification, whether to /S/L/E or to /L/E, repair permissions and rebuild cache as detailed above.
  • At each Sierra version update:
    • type option KernelBooter_kexts=Yes at 1st reboot to boot with NullCPUPM from /E/E or you'll encounter CPU PM-related KP
    • once new Sierra version installation has completed, replace vanilla AICPUPM in /S/L/E by the corresponding patched version, repair kexts permissions and rebuild cache
  • In Sierra, the AppleHDA binary patch for codec IDT 92HD90 consists of:
    • replace 8419D411 by 00000000 (2 x instances)
    • replace 8A19D411 by 00000000 (2 x instances)
    • replace 8B19D411 by E7761D11 (2 x instances)

 

:!:    :!:   :!:   Other E6220 laptops fitted with a different CPU will require a different (and suitable) SSDT table than provided in the above pack (can be looked up on the web or created with Pike R Alpha's SSDT generator tool).  In such cases and in order to avoid CPU power management-related kernel panics (KP), NullCPUPowerManagement kext (available in folder RemovedExtensions of bootpack) is required until the CPU-specific SSDT is generated. The kext just needs to be added to /Library/Extensions followed by permissions repair/cache rebuild.

The tests were validated with combinations of dual-screens setups:

  1. built-in LCD + DP
  2. built-in LCD + DVI
  3. DVI + DP
01 02 04 00 10 07 00 00 10 07 00 00   // vanilla: nb of connectors -> "04"
05 03 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00   // vanilla: laptop's own LCD display
02 05 00 00 00 08 00 00 05 00 00 00   // patched: HDMI, display port #5 (built-in port)
03 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 06 00 00 00   // patched: DP, display port #6 (docking-station port)

  • SD card reader (with DSDT patch for compatibility with Apple's default device 14e4:16bc)
  • integrated webcam OOB
  • keyboard backlight control OOB (for backlit models)
  • left combo eSATA/USB2.0 + right USB2.0 ports OOB
  • ExpressCard slot OOB

 

Not Working:

  • N/A

 

Not tested:

  • SmartCard reader

 

 

GeekBench v2.4.3 (32bit) gives a good 6500+ rating:

E6220_8GB_GB32.jpg

 

 

1) 10.13 USB installer creation

  • Using a USB key of 8GB minimum, create a High Sierra USB installer through the following Terminal command: 
sudo <path>/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/<USB key>
  • where:
    • <path> = location of High Sierra installation package (eg: /Applications if freshly downloaded)
    • <USB key> = name of formatted USB volume (eg: USB_8GB)

 

The process will take several minutes. Once completed:

  • install Clover bootloader on the USB installer with the following customised settings:
    • Install Clover in the ESP
    • Boot Sectors -> Install boot0af in MBR
    • Clover for BIOS (legacy) booting -> Clover EFI 64-bits SATA
    • BIOS Drivers, 64 bit -> FSInject-64 / ApfsDriverLoader-64 / AppleImageLoader-64
    • BIOS Drivers, 64 bit -> GrubEXFAT-64 / GrubNTFS-64
  • once Clover is installed, launch Clover Configurator app and mount the freshly created EFI partition of the USB installer
  • open this EFI partition and transfer the files & folders from the E6220 High Sierra Clover pack below to the EFI/Clover folder

 

2) 10.13 installation

  • boot the High Sierra USB installer
  • at the Clover main menu, select the "Install macOS High Sierra" partition (but don't press [ENTER])
  • press [SPACE], select -v verbose option in the menu, then choose to boot with the selected options
  • proceed with installation, creating & formatting the target High Sierra installation through Disk Utility as/if required
  • on 1st reboot, boot off the USB installer and select the freshly created "macOS install from <target High Sierra partition>"
  • repeat this until this partition is no longer offered and only the target High Sierra partition is left to boot

 

3) Post-Installation tuning

  • Once the target High Sierra partition has booted, complete the 1st boot configuration finalisation
  • Once at the desktop, install Clover bootloader on the High Sierra partition/disk:
    • if operating in BIOS legacy mode, use the customised settings listed above
    • if operating in BIOS UEFI mode, install Clover with UEFI settings instead 
  • Once Clover is installed, launch Clover Configurator app and mount the freshly created EFI partition of the High Sierra partition/disk
  • Open this EFI partition and transfer the files & folders from the above E6220 High Sierra Clover pack to the EFI/Clover folder
  • You may then reboot and verify that High Sierra boots off your disk through Clover
  • After that reboot, finalise post-installation tuning actions such as disabling hibernation, allowing all apps download from anywhere, changing all serial numbers, etc.

 

Please note that:

  • Clover config of the pack contains enabled HDMI-audio + VGA output + DVI output patches
  • Clover config of the pack contains disabled 384MB-to-1GB and 512MB-to-2GB VRAM patches. To be enabled if desired. Must be accompanied by the patch of Info.plist of AppleIntelHD3000 kext to add the necessary key: 
            <key>VRAMSize</key>
            <integer>xxxx</integer>     where xxxx=512|1024|1536|2048
  • Caching add-on kexts from /L/E is faster than injecting them from E/C/k/O
  • After any kexts modification, whether to /S/L/E or to /L/E, repair permissions and rebuild cache

 

:!:    :!:   :!:   Other E6220 laptops fitted with a different CPU will require a different (and suitable) SSDT table than provided in the above pack (can be looked up on the web or created with Pike R Alpha's SSDT generator tool). In such cases and in order to avoid CPU power management-related kernel panics (KP), NullCPUPowerManagement kext is recommended to be used temporarily until the CPU-specific SSDT is generated. The kext just needs to be added to /Library/Extensions followed by permissions repair/cache rebuild.

 

 

- - - - - - - - - -

Edit #1: 17 Aug 2019

  • Revised bootpack #2:
    • repatched DSDT (from freshly extracted A14 BIOS) and added support for Fn-UP/Fn-DOWN brightness keys
    • Hackintool-generated USBPorts kext to replace USBInjectall

 

Edit #2: 16 May 2021

  • Added a note about installing Clover on target High Sierra partition according to BIOS mode (legacy vs. UEFI)
