rcboosted Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I followed this https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-el-capitan-clover-guide/ to create a install USB. Everything seemed really clear on the creation of the usb until the last part where: 28. After installation of Clover, the hidden EFI Partition will appear on the Desktop 29. Download the EFI folderfor your model in post #2, rename it as EFI to the root of the “EFI†partition, replacing the existing folder ( not merge) So I dragged the "3340" folder that was created from 3340.zip I downloaded (after renaming to EFI) to the mount point "EFI" that was automatically mounted after Clover install. OSX asked if I want to overwrite or merge, withe EFI folder, I overwrote. After that, I can't unmount EFI, it keeps saying it's busy. I shutdown the system and removed it. On boot, I tapped F12, got the boot menu, but under UEFI, it did not have the OSX install listed. Just the internal drive or Window boot manager. If I choose legacy and book from usb, it says invalid partition table. The BIOS was set up per the guide: Sata Operaton -> AHCI Secure Boot -> Disabled Boot List Option -> UEFI. Enable Legacy Option Rom What am I doing wrong? I tried 2 different USB drives just to be sure. *edit* I figured it out. I missed the part about downloading the clover_efi.zip, so I was missing the all important "boot" directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 Note: Bootpack (EFI) consists of combining the Generic EFI_Clover + the model you're downloading!!! Did you read the big print? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcboosted Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 As big as it is, I missed it initially. I was able to get it working after following that. So I got 10.11.2 installed without issues after I got the install USB created. Would the screen brightness work using the Fn key shortcuts? Any help would be appreciated! I think I read somewhere that Intel wireless cards aren't supported. I opened up the laptop, and sure enough, I've got an intel wireless-ac 7260 card. Dang it. Any recommendation from the list here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-inventory-of-unsupported-and-supported-wireless-cards/ internal card for easy OOB support with BT 4.x? My card is M.2 NGFF, so I may only have 1 choice. Dell DW1560 NGFF M.2 14e4-43b1 BCM4352 A/B/G/N/AC ? ? Y Y Y Y N DSDT or Brcm4360 patch This is the simplest install I've done on a Hackintosh. Thank you Jake for putting in all the work to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yes, get the DW1560. See my E7450 guide, kexts for the card are available in the bootpack. I have the same keyboard. Just follow the guide regarding setting up the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcboosted Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the quick response. I will look for a DW1560, they seem to be hard to find at a good price. As for brightness changes, I got Karabiner, it worked great on F6. But my keyboard is using F11/F12 for brightness changes. I looked at the xml file and edited to use F11/F12, it seems to work. But it's the opposite of volume changes. Volume changes need Fn to be held down, while F11/F12 does not. I see F6 is called PC_SCROLLLOCK, I guess I need to know what F11 and F12 are called to map it to that instead of F11/F12 directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 F11 is set to toggle between Desktop, so I left that as default and use F6 for brightness instead. If you're in the US location, you can order it from Dell for $20 with shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcboosted Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks again, appreciated all your help. I will use F6 as well then. Hopefully the wifi software install will be easy. Ordered the wifi card. Dell only has refurb, and it was about $20 shipped, can't ask for anything easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 Really easy to get them working. Just need the following kexts found in my E7450 bootpack. Just install them to /S/L/E or /L/E FakePCIID FakePCIID_BCM94352Z_as_BCM94360CS2 BrcmPatchRAM2 You might also look at the hand-off and 5GB fix found in my config file under kextToPatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcboosted Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I grabbed the kext, it's ready to go as soon as the cards gets here. I'm not familiar with hand-off and 5GB fix. Can you give me more hints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
