Try booting without cache ( hit the spacebar and select it from the drop down) Reboot to normal and see it audio works. Need to verify cache is working. Clover patch on-the fly won't work unless cache is working properly.

Steps to change the DVMT value (Done on Windows or WinPE) 1) to backup the BIOS (DellInc.-A10.rom): Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0.exe.zip At time of writing - BIOS version E7450 A10 2) UEFITool.exe to find the module labeled SetupPrep and extract the PE32 image section (setup.bin) Update: For Dell Only: Search with this GUID then extracting the PE32 body under it would be faster /easier than finding the module per guide 899407d7-99fe-43d8-9a21-79ec328cac21 3) Universal IFR Extractor.exe to extract setup.bin to a readable text file 4) Use notepad to search for "DVMT" in the text file, 2 were found at 0x15b and 0x15c Both with value of 0x1 and need to be set to 0x3 5) Format a USB drive to fat32 and create a folder name EFI (SD Card works too) 6) Download the EFI Shell and extract the Boot folder to EFI folder i.e.. /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi 7) Boot system with the USB and select UEFI Boot At the grub prompt, enter these commands, hit enter after each command, then exit and reboot setup_var 0x15b 0x3 setup_var 0x15c 0x3 To verify, just enter setup_var 0x15b and hit enter, the value will be listed Note: Settings retained even after BIOS update and no need to rerun again But will reset if you select Restore Settings in BIOS!!! /!\ New Development: If you don't want to mod the BIOS as it might be difficult for some models, you could skip this step by adding 2 new kexts to /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other Lilu.kext & Whatevergreen Installation: See here with Bootpack Post Install: Enable Brightness Control and Trackstick Scrolling Trackstick Scrolling Download and Install Karabiner Launch Karabiner/Preferences/Change key/Point Devices/CursorMove to ScrollWheel Enable MiddleClick+CursorMove to Scrollwheel Brightness Control Launch Karabiner/Preferences/Misc & Uninstall Under Custom Setting, click Open private.xml Replace file with the attached -> private.xml.zip Go back to Change Key Tab and select 'Reload XML' The new custom file will show on the very top call 'Remap Brightness Key' & 'Remap Volumes Key' Place the check marks there. Now Hit F11 & F12 for Brightness, hit F1, F2, & F3 for Volumes Control (Keyboards with same/similar layout will work with custom xml above too) Note1: Personally use SmartScroll for Trackstick scrolling with Inertia. Don't really use Touchpad, 2 fingers scrolling and tap and drag does work. Note2: Please use this beta version of ssdPRGen.sh for Broadwell system Credits: FireWolf, Joe82, EmlyDinEsh, Bronxteck, Hervé, Rehabman, Piker-Alpha, Sontrg, toleda, Dr. Hurt, Clover Team, ...anyone involved with getting Broadwell supported

com.apple.driver.AppleHDA (9267.0) that means it's loaded, you won't see Apple_ALC292 in kextstat. Did you use the clover-on-the-fly patches included in Robert's boot files? Are you not getting audio? Does it not show in preferences?

Here's a manual process to create the bootable USB. Then follow the rest patel4prez's guide

Check 'Wake Reason' in system log when that happens.

I take no credit other than putting this guide and bootpacks together.

If you're using your files as in your Chameleon Enoch post, then you need to remove NullCPU...

Try this config config.plist.zip

Looks like the way DiskMaker create the USB, the files are hidden. Either use a program call ShowAllFiles.app or from that directory above, click on Go->Go to Folder and enter System. There you should be able to see Library and then Extensions.

Download this. Run it in the terminal. It'll create an SSDT.aml on the desktop. Copy it to Clover/ACPI/Patched

Assuming the script didn't run successfully, you can do this manually. Go to your USB installer/System/Library/Extensions, remove the following files: AppleACPIPlatform.kext IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext - if you have the Intel graphics AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext - if you have the intel graphics Copy the entire Extra folder to USB Installer root Fix permission: assuming your USB Installer is E6410Y, otherwise rename accordingly sudo chown -R 0:0 /Volumes/E6410Y/Extra sudo chmod -R 755 /Volumes/E6410Y/Extra sudo chown -R 0:0 /Volumes/E6410Y/System/Library/Extensions sudo chmod -R 755 /Volumes/E6410Y/System/Library/Extensions

It's described step-by-step in his guide

The guide is for model with nvidia graphics only. The Intel graphics is not supported or only partially supported, meaning no fully QE/CI. To complete the installation, you need to delete the intel graphics kexts: AppleIntelHDGraphics* For partial support, see here.

What Bronxteck meant is to try OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi or OsxAptioFixDrv-64, not both at the same time.

I modded the Vostro Battery patch, it should work. I just need to clean it up little if anyone is interested. Update: Never mind, Rehabman has updated and include the battery patch for 5548 by Resset

Disable 'NewWay' and 'FixRegions' in Clover Config file if they are there.

@polyzargone Your usb-injector for E5520 also works on the E6420/E6220!

Open file with plist editor, textedit or Xcode to add the above strings.

In case you're still haven't figure it out. Here's the patch to add for MBP8,2 Add it to your config file under KextToPatch. It's untested, so let me know if it works after you switch your SMBIOS to MBP8,2 <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>DW1520 Whitelist Patch (MBP8,2)</string> <key>Find</key> <data> TWFjLTJFNkZBQjk2NTY2RkU1OEM= </data> <key>Name</key> <string>AirPortBrcm4360</string> <key>Replace</key> <data> TWFjLTk0MjQ1QTM5NDBDOTFDODA= </data> </dict>

It's in the guide, see step 6. It's a little out dated for El capitan though.

LOL, I had spend the last 2 hours trying to create the battery patch for this model. Glad you got it sorted out.
