Platinum_one Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi followed the guide to the letter, When trying to boot from UEFI USB - USB is not listed as a boot option. Tried everything mentioned in other forums here - reset bios to defaults then change the bios UEFI settings. Using 3440 boot files posted as they are almost identical with exception of Display size. The 3540 uses HD4400 for video as well. Using clover V2.3 r3354 . Any help appreciated!! Tried with multiple USB devices as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 6, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2016 have you tried different usb ports or if your bios allows it set usb to usb2 not 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum_one Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Thanks for the replies, I finally got it to work. I had not included all of the efi files required. I managed to get it installed and rebooted - everything looked fine (had no network or wifi) and completed the post installation but now I only get grey screen when I try and boot from Hard drive (clover loads and when I select boot MAC OS X). Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2016 Did you copy the EFI folder to the hidden EFI partition? Try booting without cache. When you get to Clover, hit space bar, and then select no cache in the drop down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_one Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Okay so I have made some progress. I wanted the laptop to dual boot windows 7 and El Capitan using UEFI. Originally I had installed Win 7 64SP1 pro (dell OEM) in legacy mode. I backed up the windows installation and reinstalled using UEFI and the restored windows 7 - only the NTFS volume nothing else and windows 7 worked fine. But I could not get clover to see the windows installation. I could see it from the USB El Capitan boot installer but not from hard disk. Clover would not even start up if I booted from the SSD, I would only see the windows boot manager in the bios setup as well. Well after some research I found that by renaming bootmgrw.efi to bootmgrw-orig.efi in the microsoft/boot directory under the EFI volume. That fixed the issue and I could boot to either Mac OS or WIndows just in case someone else is looking to figure this problem out. I used clover configuration tool to mount the EFI volume to make the change. Still have some work to do to make clover pretty but that is minor. I have El Capitan working, but I have very few devices. Bluetooth and camera work. No network, wifi, SD card, audio etc.. Video card shows up as a 4600 but I see from others that that is normal. I have tried both of the 3440 files that I found on this site to get things working but not having any luck. Followed the installation guide to the letter. could not run one of the scripts since it required internet. Not sure what I should do now, what should my next steps be? Spec wise the laptop is a latitude 3540 with i5-4200U CPU, 8G Ram, 120G SSD, HD4400, Realtek PCIe GBE Ethernet, Dell 1705 Wireless I have attached the Origin files from clover in hopes that it may help. Thanks for any assistance Origin.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 13, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2016 Use Inspiron 5558 HD4400 bootpack instead or just install RealtekRTL8100 for ethernet. I'll get your DSDT patch. Need to know what audio codec you have in that system, is it ALC255 or ALC283 or other? Upload the IOReg so I could determine where to patch for the SD card reader. Can you get a screenshot of the devices with DPCIManager? screenshot of status and PCIList Your wireless card is not support although Bluetooth will work. You'll need to replace it.

Platinum_one Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Okay got all of the files together. The Realtek chip is a ALC3223. I tried the Realtek Kext but that didn't work with my card. I have a few wireless cards around, but what is the best or most compatible card I can use. I have a DW1390 I can use while I order another one that supports higher speeds.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 15, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2016 DW1390 should work OOB, if you want something faster, try DW1550, but will require kexts and some patching. Here use this Replace the file and folders to your current Clover folder. Your IOReg and screenshot didn't show it has a SD card reader though.

Platinum_one Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Thanks everything is working great. I found a couple of BCM4322 cards around but unfortunately full height not mini-pci So I am thinking of ordering DW1510 as the DW1550 has Bluetooth with it as well and I already have Bluetooth. The card reader didn't show up because it is a Realtek USB 2.0 and needed a SD card inserted. I copied a screen shot of the system info screen as well as another ioreg file. Thanks again! 3540-ioreg.zip Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 2.38.49 PM.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
