Hello! Update- I've managed to install 10.13.1 on the Hackintosh. Working perfectly on all fronts. Surprisingly sleep included. Wake from sleep also works perfectly. Updating to 10.13.2 today. Only casualty of dysfunctional hardware is the bluetooth but i believe a fix is in the works.

Update - managed to get a MUCH better file for the AR9565 from this thread HERE WiFi works like a dream. Also picks up the device as Built-In. It's a direct drop into Airport Atheros 4 kext. So the stock IO80211Family V1 and V2 Kexts are necessary. Bluetooth works like a charm. Power stepping is perfect. Still having sleep issues but I can live with that. Wondering if I should update to High Sierra.

UPDATE- 10.12.5 update went smoothly. It kinda broke some of my WiFi and Display function. But reinstalled kexts. All working now! Thanks.

Long term usage update. The machine is working well so far. Bluetooth works with a Magic Mouse perfectly while also being able to transfer files and data to and from other devices simultaneously. However, it does not detect my iPhone for some reason while using AirDrop. Sleep works ok. For the most part. There are two problems I've noticed. The first one is that if the screen shuts off by itself the only way to get the laptop on again is to close and re-open the lid. But there are random times when this will not work and instead only a hard reboot gets the machine going again. But this is rare. The second problem is that sometimes shutting down the laptop it remains in what seems like a "BIOS standby"Fans running at full. Screen off. Keyboard off. system off. This happens once in a blue moon; without reason and I am not able to diagnose it at all. Battery life is impeccable. Between 4-7 hours depending on usage. Four normally while streaming FullHD Netflix. So all-in-all a sweet machine! Question now is SHOULD I update to 10.12.5?

I have the same laptop as you. this has been a common occurrence for me from day one of installing 10.12.4 . As it turns out the initial glitch in the Apple loading bar is from the GPu and the stutter that comes from the first 40-45 seconds can be reduced by switching to an SSD from an HDD. The stutter is from the system indexing data. If you force login and try a spotlight search you'll find nothing comes up for quite a while. The i3-4005U is very poor at login/boot time. I normally tend to boot the laptop and leave it there for a while before attempting to login.

I need a Motherboard Serial Generator. Oddly enough searching on GitHub found me an MLB Generator. That got me through iCloud and iMessage setup and has now landed me with an apple Assist code - which I hadn't got until now. If you know one that might work correctly - I would be forever grateful! Also, Yes I read the comments. I was lucky to have the assistance here. 3452 zip alone from the first post was getting me through the Wifi but it was not a built-in and kept having a self-assigned WiFi issue. I played around with a lot of different kexts putting them in different places and seeing their effects. This is the one that has worked the best for me. (85% working - I have repeater bridges that cause network handoff issues) Any other person's mileage may vary. But in my specific config it works.

Update - Added a Magic Mouse to my machine. Bluetooth works out of the box on the standard installation. Does not need Bluetooth Firmware Uploader. For the AR9565 this video HERE seems to do a much better job. More importantly - it identifies the device as an internal WiFi and AirDrop works perfectly

Hello! Sorry for the delay in responding to you. I decided to clean install once again to see what does and does not work! PLNF patch is needed for it to even show. Karabiner is messing with some of the controls on the device that already work like Volume and Bluetooth control and some of the mouse and keyboard shortcuts. Using it is painful. I've decided to open up the preferences pane when i need the brightness turned up. (I like it a little softer as it is) Thank you for all the help I've got. The DSDT / SSDT patches work great. Now I have to wait until I can generate a fresh Board Number to get iMessage working. MacBookPro 11,1 is not yet suppported by most generators and it is a rarely used device config from the looks of it.

Update - On the upside. Sleep now works correctly! Thank you for that! On the downside - For whatever reason P States and C states needed to be readded to the config.plist. Without it; some lag is suffered. Bluetooth can't be turned off still. But that's ok I guess. Backlight Now working. changed config.plist to include PLNF patch. Slider under Preferences>Displays works Buttons on keyboard do not. I think keyboard mappings are different. Mine has the following Esc-> Lock; F1>Mute; F2>Vol Down; F3>Vol Up; F4>Previous; F5>Play/Pause; F6>Next; F8>Screen mirror; F9>Search F11>Backlight Down; F12> Backlight Up; Prtsc>Network control I'm on the annoying A11 BIOS> from where there is no going back. that happened a while ago when we needed to replace the original panel under warranty. Attaching ioReg files for before and after. The only change I made was I signed out of iCloud considering the missing Software UUiD and RT Variables. EDITED - Backlight now working. ioReg Latitude 14.zip

Hello! apologies for the delay. I didn't get an email or anything that there is a message here. I have not patched the DSDT at all from the one of the 3452. Origin is attached to this post. Please let me know if I will need to change anything in the config.plist Thank you for doing this! Origin.zip

Hi, I've been roaming around this forum for a long long time. This is my first post and second attempt at Hackintoshing. I finally have a machine I can reasonably well Hack. It's a love child between a 3452, 5558, 3440. In India(where I'm from)it's sold both as the Dell vostro 3446 / Latitude 14. Specs as follows - i3-4005 2C/4T 1.7Ghz (Haswell - 15W ULV edition) Same main board as a 3452. HD 4400 1596Mb shared GT820M Nvidia (disabled - Optimus) ALC 255/3234 audio RTL8111E 10/100 LAN DW1705/AR9565 - Wifi Bluetooth Combo 40Whr Battery 1366x768 Matte LED display I used this fantastic guide that you'll have to create everything and put it together. The 3452 zip was originally used. along with the newest EFI zip BUT Some small changes are needed ADD to clover Haswell Patch + Kernel support CPU + xcpm (without any one it will NOT boot) Remove ALL DVMT/Intel Graphics patches. Remove Patch #5 for audio Latest PS2 controller + Realtek Ethernet Controller from Rehabman's bitbucket account HERE this thread for the ATH9565+Bluetooth combo unit. Yes bluetooth works perfectly. It also needs old way Airport fix to work. (still has intermittent issues with assigning IP addresses) What isn't working -> BackLight Control (known issue) Activity Monitor crashes when looking at energy consumption. Sleep is not working. Closing the lid and re-opening it comes back to an unlocked desktop even after twenty minutes. closing the lid after hitting sleep - wakes the device. Most importantly switching from MacBookAir 6,2 to MacBookPro Retina 11,1 FIXED a LOT of lag stutter and throttling. Boot is faster. App open and close times are quicker. But i cannot generate an MLB and therefore no iMessage or FaceTime. attaching Kext+ACPI+config.plist for reference and in case anyone can help. 3446.zip
