@Tritius  My USBs started working with the updates Jake Lo gave me.

 

I have attached a copy of my EFI of my laptop from the EFI itself of the laptop, maybe it will help.

 

If it works out, I highly recommend throwing a donation towards Jake Lo for finalizing, they are awesome!

 

Good luck!

@Tritius I can confirm brightness controls are not working; but I have not tried any of the suggestions by Jake and Herve.

 

Brightness controls on this model are FN + Up/Down keys.

 

Honestly I'm fine with the brightness being full blast, I have mine hooked up to an HDMI 65" LED 4K, but yeh eventually brightness might be an issue.

 

As a side note, it may be possible to find a brightness control somewhere in system preferences or perhaps a third party app. 

 

I always thought brightness would go through the BIOS not the OS - but this is a really really small issue compared to having so much other things working.

 

I hope you find a solution!

@Jake Lo  Everything is working 100% .  -- Thank you so much!

 

You guys kicked ass

@Hervé   I have no idea why I have no ACPI folder. I'm not trying to do anything special. Also I tried setting up without VoodooHDA - I could never get sound to work - Could VoodooHDA be causing USB issues?

 

 

 

@Leook

 

When it booted up, my screen filled with long vertical lines and got really bright, I'm not sure what happened but I never made it to the login screen. Possibly something with the graphics.

 

@Hervé

 

Is there somewhere I can go to collect all of the SMBIOS? Also, would that affect USB?

I set the renaming as you requested, this did not have any effect.

 

More things I tried:

1. It was suggested to install UsbInjectAll.kext to the OS and make the 2 rename suggestions you told me to do.

2. I also tried the Mojave USB patches 1, 2 and 3 for 10.14.4 (this didn't work either).

 

I wish there was someone on here with my exact Latitude E6530 that has 10.14.4 working. I could only get my setup working from someone's E6230 EFI.

 

Right now, sound, 1 usb and HDMI/graphics work, so I can't complain too much.

 

If you have anymore ideas let me know.

 

 

 

Thank you!

 

I will do all of this and get back to you in a few hours with success/fail.

 

Sorry, I named the file incorrectly. It's the same file, just couldn't delete it from the post and upload or rename it without a file size error.

 

Here's the EFI folder zip renamed to the correct model.

@Jake Lo @Hervé

 

Hey guys. I have been diligently searching the forums to get my E6530 booted up with Mojave 10.14.4.

 

I am currently logged in to Mojave, with...

 - Sound (VoodooHDA / Layout-ID 12),

 - HDMI (1080p), 

 - HD4000 Integrated Graphics,

 - 16GB Ram,

 - 2 TB HDD (not SSD).

 - Messages works (natively with my iPhone X).

 - No freezes at all, everything is smooth.

 - Graphics are great, plays 1080p nicely!

 - Sound is great too.

 

What I need help with:

 

 - [big problem, I need more USB ports] Only 1 USB port works (back left diagonal).

     - I need help with Left USB (no power, no recognition)

     - I need help with Right USB (has power for iPad, but not detected)

 - [not important] Internal WiFi card not recognized (to be expected, probably an Intel card, not supported?)

    - I replaced with an external WiFi card I had laying around.

 

I figure you guys have dealt with this already.

Attaching my current EFI folder.

 

I just want to thank you guys for working so hard for us
