If this is systematic/repeatable, I can only suspect a corrupt USB installer. Try and wipe out your USB key and start afresh. Mac sure you setup your BIOS parameters properly. Which guide are you following, if any ?

Can you go to Disk Utility and check current disk status?

I don't know, I never really looked into the Touchpad settings; I'm using an external wireless mouse all the time.

@thangpc, what do you mean by "stuck here"? System unresponsive/hung/frozen? Mouse or touchpad not responding? Or you don't know what to do next?

I've explained this in another thread (I think) but I believe you could avoid the low-power mode (=Airplane mode) by masking one of the pins on the card.

So, pin masking would affect: pins 51/53/55 at the front pins 54/56 at the rear

Please state what target platform this is for. Ideally, detail your system's specs in signature so that we won't ask you the same questions on and on. If you want assistance I also invite you to specify: version of Clover you're using. a zipped copy of your Clover EFI folder For Mojave 10.14.4 and later, you need to use Clover r4911 minimum.

No idea; we'd have to know what each of those masked pins normally do and I don't.

Guides section, 1st thread!

Re: TrackPad, all you need to do is set it up through the Trackpad PrefPane. Too many people ignore this basic stuff... Not all gestures will be supported of course, this is no real Mac. Re: sleep/wake, you experience issues because you're not using any patched DSDT nor any DSDT patches for _PRW methods in ACPI devices GLAN (LAN interface), HDEF (audio) and EHC1/EH01, EHC2/EH02, XHC (USB controllers). You can give the attached patched DSDT a try knowing that I've only patched it for those above _PRW methods, USB ports power inection and support for keyboard brightness keys. Patched_DSDT.zip Sleep and wake should then work on the basis that you have: CPU power management properly in place Hibernation disabled (i.e. fallback on plain old sleep); you'll find details relating to this in our FAQ section I've also revisited our Clover config which was partially incorrect and non-optimum. You may place it "as is" alongside your existing Clover config file in your EFI/CLOVER folder and manually call it at boot time from Clover's main menu->Options->Configs revised_config.plist.zip You're also missing a few other essential stuff such as the SSDT-PNLF required to fully support brightness control and kexts required for proper USB operations (all available off Rehabman's repo if you google for them): USBInjectAll (to get all your USB ports working) FakePCIID + FakePCIIDXhciMux (to get USB2/USB3 multiplexing) All in all, why didn't you use the existing Clover packs already provided in guides for this laptop model?

Define "latest Clover". Did you enable/activate the AppleRTC fix in Clover? Please note that if you run Mojave 10.14.4 or later, you also need to update Clover to, at least, r4911 as explained here. You may also see Dids' GitHub repo.

Revised High Sierra & Mojave packs #2 uploaded. The packs contain an updated DSDT that fixes the auto-wake issue when laptop runs on mains. It was a simple matter of properly applying the well-known _PWR 0x06D patch to devices GLAN, HDEF, EHx1, EHx2 and XHC. It's all visible in the DSDT.dsl source code.

You can look this up in the FAQ section. Alternatively, just post new IOReg output + zipped Clover EFI folder or list of kexts you cache from /L/E or /S/L/E.

Please post new debug package. From experience, I've always had to run with USBInjectAll and HPET fix before I could generate the proper USBPorts kext. I noticed that Hackintool needs to detect all USB controllers and ports properly. Failing that, not all USB ports/features work. Than, you've got to make sure to only use: 1) Hackintool-generated SSDT-UIAC + Rehabman's USBInjectAll kext or 2) Hackintool-generated USBPorts kext

DW1560 does not work OOB, it requires patching. You can look this up in our dedicated R&D->Wireless section. Occasionally, TouchPad won't work and may require a few reboots to be recovered. Never really investigated this further because I'm using an external mouse 99% of the time. But feel free to have a go at it.

You change nothing if there is no difference... You may also try that set of patched tables (keep a backup of yours).

That should obviously do. Compare your current DSDT and that of the other member, looking for the PWR methods. Adjust as necessary. Use MaciASL to that effect.

Definitely sounds like a USB-related issue. If your laptop has older USB2.0 controller, temporarily boot with USBInjectAll kext before running Hackintool so that you do not miss any controller/ports.

And you'll find them on the forum if you search correctly in the Wireless section...

No need to specify "inject Intel" + layout-id in the Graphics section of your Clover when you run with recent/latest Lilu + WEG kexts.

Looking good overall. I would just say that if you're dropping SSDT CpuPm + SSDT CpuI0st and injecting the CPU PM ssdt table, then you should not have PluginType parameter checked. It's either or. But that should not impact battery life in any way. I did not see anything relating to a dGPU so I can only presume there is none and your config is optimum as far as CPU power management and battery life is concerned.

I don't have any E5450 at hands but I have an E7250 until the end of the week. I don't have a mini-DP cable and a DP screen for testing but I can try DP output through my E-Port dock out to HDMI via an adapter. You may need to change the default FB #/port# of the BDW frame buffer for your DP output port to work although it's unlikely. You use BDW layout 0x16260006 which defines the following output ports: 06002616 01030303 00002002 00005001 --> layout 0x16260026, 3 x output ports 00000060 D90A0000 D90A0000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000800 02000000 30020000 --> FB #0/port #0, built-in LCD 01050B00 00040000 07050000 --> FB #1/port #5, DP output (but usually HDMI port) 02040B00 00040000 07050000 --> FB #2/port #6, DP output Looking at your posted IOReg outputs, I can clearly see your external display attached to FB@2/port #6. As such, I guess your problem is highly likely to be a 4K-related problem more than anything else. I don't have a 4K screen myself so I've never had any 4K-related issue to resolve but I believe the issue of black screen on 4K displays is quite common. I also understand there is an existing fix (or fixes?) for it, like using boot parameter -cdfon. https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334899-intel-framebuffer-patching-using-whatevergreen/ Now, looking at the EFI folder of post #1, I could see 2 x Clover config files: config.plist (which is the default name of Clover's config) is empty and therefore I assume you cannot be using it. config_ok_ref.plist contains the following typo in the Graphics properties injection: <key>framebuffer-unifiedmem</key> <data> AAAAgA== </data --> typo! it should be "</data>", the final ">" is missing <key>enable-hdmi20</key> <data> That same typo is also found in the 2 x Clover config files of the EFI folder of your 2nd post... You need to correct this with a text editor like TextEdit or Clover Configurator; whether it'll fix the issues you encounter, that I cannot say for sure but I certainly smell a fish...

Please report your info in the following manner: Card model Hackintosh model macOS versions tested Patch used the successful Kexts used when successful Tricks used when successful If you could not get a card to work, just specify card model, Hackintosh model and macOs version "NOk". We'll assume it just didn't work no matter what.

/!\ TOPIC NOW DEPRECATED & CLOSED /!\ By popular demand and building on the guide I wrote for those cards some time ago + the subsequent extended feedback (mostly poor) on users experience, I thought it'd be useful to list those cards and laptops combinations that work or not. People may then opt for BCM450 cards with the best of knowledge. I invite all those who tested such cards to report their conclusions in order to build-up the registry. Important note: This is not a troubleshooting thread, there's already one here. This thread is only to report success or failure stating card model + computer model in order to complete a registry.
