Done. Still no luck, but I noticed this (Invalid Parameter error from BlueToolFixup.kext) during startup (not sure if it was there before):

It works as expected in Windows, even after sleep.

I attached my OC folder... I have all of those installed, yet my Bluetooth isn't working. Nothing happens when I try to turn it on in System Preferences or from the top menu. It does show up under USB though: OC.zip

Hello, Even though I no longer have a Broadcom card in my Monterey 12.2 Dell Latitude e7470 system (replaced with Intel 8260), I can still see a NULL Bluetooth controller that I do not want, as I suspect it's preventing my Bluetooth from working. What exactly is injecting this and how I prevent this from happening? I attached my OC folder (AirportItlwm.kext, IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext, and IntelBluetoothInjector.kext have been removed from the upload due to excessive size). Thanks! OC.zip

Hello, I have a similar issue with the 8260NGW. Have you tried toggling Wi-Fi off, and then on? One temporary workaround is to disable sleep. Also, IntelBluetoothInjector.kext should be disabled in Monterey: https://openintelwireless.github.io/IntelBluetoothFirmware/FAQ.html#what-does-this-kext-do

Update: I replaced the DW1820A card in my laptop with the Intel AC-8260 card that came with the laptop along with the necessary Intel Wi-Fi/BT kexts and it is working fine. The DW1820A was previously working fine, even without disabling ASPM in my case... This all started right when I upgraded to Monterey 12.1, so I strongly urge those thinking about updating to 12.1 and above to make a backup.

@Jake Lo It didn’t create an “OpenCore” boot option. I also tried resetting the BIOS to defaults and reflashing, but no difference.

@Jake Lo Still gets frozen at the mbinit: done line, even after resetting NVRAM

Thanks! It's injecting successfully now. However, whether or not I'm enabling the kexts AirportBrcmFixup, BrcmFirmwareData, etc., it's now freezing at the same point as in my last thread: https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/17059-e7470-not-booting-after-updating-to-monterey-121 If I revert to the original configuration, it takes 5+ minutes to boot with multiple "PXSX stalls".

I believe the device is still named PXSX in my case, even if AirportBrcmFixup is enabled, when I checked under IORegistry Explorer. Also, I am still getting the same error... Have I declared it as External correctly?? DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "ARPT ", "BCM4350", 0x00000000) { External (_SB_.PCI0.RP05, DeviceObj) Device (_SB.PCI0.RP05) { Device (PXSX) { Name (_ADR, Zero) // _ADR: Address Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // _DSM: Device-Specific Method { If ((Arg2 == Zero)) { Return (Buffer (One) { 0x03 // . }) } Return (Package (0x0C) { "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer (0x05) { "WLAN" }, "compatible", Buffer (0x0D) { "pci14e4,43a0" }, "device_type", Buffer (0x08) { "AirPort" }, "model", Buffer (0x24) { "Dell DW1820A 802.11ac Wireless Card" }, "name", Buffer (0x10) { "AirPort Extreme" }, "pci-aspm-default", Buffer (One) { 0x00 // . } }) } } } }

Still no luck… same error with the SSDT

Apologies, that syntax error was made in the process of removing my serial number, etc. I have tried using an SSDT file instead, (adding it to config.plist too of course) but it is not loading/patching correctly at boot either, with an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error: SSDT-BCM4350.zip

Hello, I'm having an issue where a DeviceProperties patch doesn't seem to be injected, as when I look at the device under IORegistryExplorer, not even the pci-aspm-default is changing nor is the device associated with a kext... Perhaps this explains the startup issue related to the DW1820A that I brought up in an earlier post, where my system often doesn't boot or takes 5+ minutes (stalls at PXSX), unless I disable Wi-Fi or boot out of luck. What could be causing this? Thanks! config.plist.zip

Still no luck... I tried booting with "-x" and "cpus=1" as well, but it ended up at the exact same point as last time. So I went ahead and tried booting with all the wireless features disabled in BIOS and sure enough, it booted. However, when I tried booting ahead with the wireless features re-enabled, it's booting up successfully again. The only thing I did was turn off and on the wireless in BIOS.

Done. Sadly still not much progress, although it’s slightly different?

@Jake Lo Tried both of the above but no luck. @Hervé Yes, I am using a DW1820A and can confirm that I patched and have disabled ASPM (as in the attached config.plist file that I'm currently using). I'm not sure why the commented stuff was there, but I can assure you that everything, including the wireless card, was working fine in Monterey 12.0.1. I'm still getting stuck at pretty much the same line when booting. config.zip

Hello, After updating my e7470 to Monterey 12.1, I've been getting stuck at around the same point after the second boot (the first time booting into 12.1 right after upgrading went fine somehow): I already tried clearing my NVRAM. I tried adding cpus=1 to the boot flags as well. I attached a copy of my OC folder as well. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! OC.zip

Replaced the VoodooPS2Controller.kext with my copy and the keyboard and trackpad worked from there

Some progress… I got it to boot thanks to your EFI, though without the keyboard and trackpad aren’t working anymore… I’ll see if I can replace the relevant kexts with my kexts.

It's a Dell e7470 with a Skylake Intel i7-6600U CPU (no discrete GPU, Intel Graphics 520), 16GB RAM. It was working fine on Big Sur with OpenCore 0.7.4.

Attached is the image of where it gets stuck (no progress after 30+ mins). I am using the Big Sur OC 0.7.4 folder from the Dell Latitude e7470 guide. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hello, I updated from OpenCore 0.6.2 to 0.7.5 on my MSI Z490-A PRO, i5-10400, GTX 780 build and changed my config.plist file accordingly. Now I'm getting this error, despite having changed very little. Both my old config.plist ("config-old.plist") and new config.plist files are included for reference, along with the output text file below: I have tried doing what was done on some older posts to no avail: playing around with SetupVirtualMap and RebuildAppleMemoryMap, MMIO, etc. here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/troubleshooting/extended/kernel-issues.html#stuck-on-eb-log-exitbs-start Any other suggestions on what I should try? Thanks! EFI.zip

Hello, I've recently replaced my touchpad on my Dell Latitude e7470 from another e7470. I noticed that it wasn't working when I booted on Windows, until I uninstalled the driver. The ALPS touchpad driver then got installed and it worked from there, on Windows, including the point stick and touchpad buttons (both lower and upper). However, when I boot into macOS, none of the buttons nor the touchpad itself are working. I've tried updating VoodooPS2Controller.kext. I'm confused as to why it's no longer working, even though from what I know, the touchpad itself is compatible... I've attached the IORegistryExplorer file and my EFI/OC folder. Thanks! MacBook Pro.ioreg OC.zip

Yes, I've tried that yesterday and the issue persists.

I'm still having this problem in Big Sur 11.1 and OpenCore.
