Check your hibernation status and, if necessary/desired, adjust your settings according to the detaisl posted in FAQ section.

BrcmPatchRAM2.kext is for Bluetooth, not Wifi. The wireless part will work with or without patching, depending on the model you run with.

I meant this. The suggested Clover patch should do the same. I recommend you use Clover Configurator app rather than text editing your config.

USB3 ports just require to inject Darwin in DSDT.

No, that's the AICPUPM patch for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge laptops; useless for anything else. OP would be well advised to tune his configuration with Clover Configurator app rather than a text editor...

eC//FrEaK is mistaken on the BIOS matter. Leave it as it is. If you update, you're highly likely to end up with garbled graphics, like other E6x30 models, unless/until you re-patch the raw DSDT of the latest BIOS version like I did for the E6230 (A19).

In order to sustain any further High Sierra update, place those kexts in /L/E, increase their version number to something like 999, repair permissions and rebuild your cache. /S/L/E then remains full vanilla and those kexts with higher version number take precedence at startup/in the cache.

Set Integrated NIC to enable only (no need for PXSE, you're not going to boot over Ethernet) Disable VT for Direct I/O (or use dart=0 in your Clover config).s No support for Intel wireless so that'll have to be replaced by a supported model or a USB adapter.

If memory serves me right, that results from a cache issue; non-existant in all likelyhood. Make sure you've not forgotten to copy the Extra folder at the top of your USB Installer and boot with without cache with boot parameters/boot flags KernelBooter_kexts=Yes -f -v. You can manually specify those at the Chameleon/Enoch prompt after pressing a key at the delay bar or F8 at the rotating character in top left corner.

2nd generation being named... ?

Do you have the HPET fix in place?

Yup, those latest R4/R5/R6 versions of the kext as found in Dr Hurt's dedicated thread bring out full support (so to speak) for the TouchPad.

@New2Max, Your Clover setup was incorrect: You were injected irrelevant kexts (SATA-unsupported, RealtekRTL8111) You were injected ATI + nVIDIA graphics and irrelevant ATI + nVidia properties You were applying irrelevant LAPIC + KernelPm patches Your MBP9,2 SMBIOS injection seems incorrect/incomplete (I guess it might have come from an older Clover version) You probably did not have suitable CPU power management in place All in all, you probably obtained that Clover config from somewhere else than here... With regards to Semaj's Clover setup, he's injecting some unnecessary kexts like: VoodooTSCSync GenericUSBXHCI AppleBacklightFixup He's also using slightly outdated Lilu + WEG kexts that should be refreshed to latest versions. Then, his Clover config contains some irrelevant or inappropriate settings such as arch=x86_64, KernelPm patch or injection of Intel graphics + Capri layout-id (not necessary with Lilu + WEG), erroneous CPU PM settings, etc. It would benefit from being clean-up. Eg: E6330_config.plist.zip The Clover setup would also gain from being completed with kexts such as CodecCommander (for audio jack output) and FakePCIID/FakePCIID_XHCIMux to activate USB3/USB2 ports multiplexing.

You simply set it up in your PrefPane.

It's covered in another thread. Let's not double post, scatter and pollute this one by going off-topic...

You can get it directly from 10.14.2 combo update, using Pacifist app to extract the kext.

Please, no need to quote messages you directly reply to, especially if characters get changed to Chinese symbols... Look at the DSDT available in the packs posted here or here. If you don't use those packs, adjust your own DSDT accordingly. Using MaciASL app, look for "Darwin" and you'll see.

You need to inject "Darwin" in your DSDT to get USB3 controller recognized. Thereafter, all you'll need will be Rehabman's FakePCIID + FakePCIID_XHCMux to enjoy USB port multiplexing. I would strongly suggest you use the Clover pack available in JakeLo's installation guide (available in the Guides section obviously).

What's the relevance with this thread? If you use the Search facility, you'll find a dedicated thread related to mSATA SSDs on D4x0.

It's a distro, you'd have to ask the place you got that from . We don't support distros here, they're just trouble.

GenericUSBXHCI kext is hardly ever required these days. On a Haswell platform, injecting Darwin should suffice to enable the USB3 controller.

Guys, again! Not in the Guides section which is clearly labelled "no support here"! Please move this thread to the Dell support section.

Indeed, no support for Intel HD 2500 graphics...

Yup, cheap Kepler cards (chipset GKxxx) like nVidia GT710, GT720 or GT730 will do perfectly and work OOB. Make sure you do not go for Fermi-based models of the 600/700 Series. You may look here or here too. And of course, it'll all depend on the budget you're ready to spend.

Feel free to experiment with key stroke identification for subsequent remapping as detailed here:
