The DW1830 requires 3 antennae. Did you only connected 2?

I used the 3rd from the WWAN slot

Yes, I only connected the main and aux antennae.I was curiosity about the extra wire when I changed the wifi card from XPS. Thanks for telling this to me. No one mentioned it to me.

I noticed the 3rd from the WWAN  slot, however the antennae is too short to connect to the DW1830, so I just leave the third one unconnected.

I'll try to buy a extend cord from eBay, is this one OK?

Thanks a lot! I'm writing this reply on the newly hacking-shed 7490.

The wifi speed is very slow, maybe I done something wrong. I'll try to improve it and try to update to pack#6.

I have test the hdmi to DVI, works excellent. The track point and track pad buttons don't work as Herve's guide mentioned. 

Thanks Herve, Jake and osxlatitude again!

Sorry, Can I ask you how to remove the wifi patch and make DW1830 works.

I tried with RehabMan/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM, but it doesn't work, I don't know where is the mistake.

Update,  I use the old pack #5, it works

After installed and post tuned, I update to pack#6 with

Hmm, if you're using DW1820a, that might be the problem. It's missing the patch in the Config file and also missing CLOVERX64.efi in Clover folder.

To upgrade to bootpack #6, just use bootpack #5 and replace just the ACPI folder and ENABLE (check box) DellSMBIOSPatch in the Config.plist (bootpack#5) file under KextToPatch using Clover Configurator.

 

Then reboot, it starts the boot loop again.

Not clear what's wrong.

With pack#5, everything works excellent except the wifi, I used a DW1830(BCM43602) from xps9550.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I think this is the reason. However, I made a new USB installer with the updated pack #6, still no luck.

My other USB sticks can not mount the EFI with Clover configurator. 

Hi guys,

I' m trying to install on my 7490 follow Hervé's guide(pack #6).

However, when I boot to clover and load the installation disk(when I install) it rebooted after several seconds, a gif is uploaded for you guys. 

Been trying to solve it today with no luck, so any help would be very appreciated.

My bios setting is also follow Hervé's guide, except I cannot find these settings in my bios( I guess Hervé' wrote these in earlier bios version). I don't think these setting would influence anything.

Security

. TPM 2.0 Security = Off or On with whatever desired settings

Manageability

. USB Provision = Off

. MEBx Hotkey = Enabled

thanks!
