    How to install Sierra to Latitude E6430?

    in The Archive

    Posted

    But I searched google and finally found result. I renamed the USBHost thing from system/library/extensions and the MacBookPro9,2 then something I renamed them. Then I installed USB Inject All and rebuild cache and did the permissions thing. Now every USB port is working and the camera is also working. So we can no cross the two of the list that weren't working.

     

    there is no need for this patch, 6430 has less that 15 USB ports per controller. This patch is potentially dangerous. All you need is to patch DSDT to solve usb sleep/wake up.

    In Clover set USB/Inject and USB/FixOwnership

    I just changed the code to

    If (PM6H)
                {
                    CreateDWordField (BUF0, \_SB.PCI0._Y0C._LEN, ECLN)  // _LEN: Length
                    Store (Zero, ECLN)
                }

                If (LEqual (PM6H, One))
                {
                    CreateBitField (BUF0, \_SB.PCI0._Y0C._RW, ECRW)  // _RW_: Read-Write Status
                    Store (Zero, ECRW)
                    If (PM0H)
                            {
                                CreateDWordField (BUF0, \_SB.PCI0._Y0D._LEN, F0LN)  // _LEN: Length
                                Store (Zero, F0LN)
                            }
                }

                If (LEqual (PM0H, One))
                {
                    CreateBitField (BUF0, \_SB.PCI0._Y0D._RW, F0RW)  // _RW_: Read-Write Status
                    Store (Zero, F0RW)
                }

    E6430 nVidia 1366x768 i7-3740QM

    Hi again,

    I am able to install Sierra using the guide https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-clover-guide/&do=findComment&comment=54632  Dell Latitude/Inspiron/Precision - Clover Guide. I used bootpack for 6430u, so audio does not work, no sleep etc. So I tried https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9248-working-sleep-on-intel-hd-and-nvidia-nvs-on-dell-latitude-e6430-optimus-enabled-or-disabled/Working sleep on E6430 for both graphics modes! (Optimus Enabled or Disabled). I took EFI attached and copied (not merged) everything to my boot stick. The installation halts after printing several +'s. Turned out that if I replace DSDT/SSDT, the install fails.

    I am kinda curious what should I do?

    Any help is really appreciated

     

    Thank you,

     

    PS I did adjust screen resolution setting to '1366x768' along with 'ig-platform-id' set to '0x01660003'

    Dell confirmed that it was a technical failure on this 6430u so I am returning it.

     

    I got 6430 (1366x768, NVidia) instead. Can you help me with

     

    1) is there a guide how to install Sierra on it?

    2) in the guide by Jake Lo for El Capitan bootpack is for 1600x900 and above, is there a bootpack for 1366x768 ?

     

    Thank you,

    the laptop is refurbished, dell sells them with Win 7 so win 10 is not supported.

    Fn+F8 works for me ;-), it switches from TV to LCD but the picture gets messed up on LCD and switching back does not help.

     

    Sierra just does not see any monitors but TV.

     

    windows turns on LCD itself while loading.

     

    if I understand correctly, mac tries LCD and falls back to external monitor

     

    The thing is that I did see DELL logo during boot when I just got the laptop. Most likely is that one of the updates wrote something into NVRAM and I am stuck with it now. DELL refuses to exchange the laptop so my only hope is that Win 7 drivers will revert the changes

    OK, managed to install Sierra.

     

    The problem was with my laptop, I got it a month ago with windows 7. I installed Win 10 and all intel/dell drivers. And one of these installs broke the laptop - now right after reset the laptop switches to external monitor. So if I need to go to BIOS I need to press Fn+F8 to get picture on LCD. If I don't press it, windows does it at some point during loading.

     

    So, I connected my HDMI TV and I saw that the setup switched to the TV - when I had thougth that I had black screen. I suppose the system switched to VGA and since its not supported it hang. When I connected HDMI, the setup continued on the TV. I finished Mac OS installation but I can use TV only and in safe mode, in regular mode I get a lot(!) of artifacts. If I press Fn+F8 to get the video output  on LCD, I get totally messed up picture.

     

    I contacted Dell, they a going to send me disk with Win7 (laptop does not have CD/DVD lol) because they do not support win10(!)...

     

    So the question now is how to disable the switching to external monitor?

    please upload your EFI folder (compress first), want to confirm you have it setup correctly.

    When you create the installer, you use GUID / Extended Journaled format?

    I just rebuild the installer with 10.12.2 using the bootpack and have no issue booting to the Installer using any of the USB ports.

     

    I did the install again, same result so here is the EFI from the stick

    Yes, I confirm that I am using GUID/Extended Journaled format. The only difference from the guide is that I have to erase partition, specifying format because the system does not allow me to create new partition over existing one.

     

    Thank you,
