If all you've done is change the HDD/SSD, I don't see why you're asking to re-patch the BIOS tables. Just re-use all that you had on your previous disk: install the same version of Clover on your new disk, then import the Clover EFI folder of your old drive on the new one. In the EFI partition, of course! You could have also made a backup or a clone or your 1st installation and restored it to the new disk.

If you cannot see the dongle in the USB section of your SysProfiler, then it's a USB port issue.

@Pippo BalestrieriThis thread has long been dead; it's been 5 years since the OP wrote his single post and visited the forum. Do not expect a response. For what it's worth, back then, ML would have most likely been installed with the myHack tool that we advocated and supported at the time. There are several models and generations of a ThinkPad Helix. OP's model was clearly an Ivy Bridge/HD 4000 one. Open up a new thread with your own model's specifications and we'll see what we can do, preferably with current macOS High Sierra (really no point considering obsolete ML in 2018). This old and dead thread will now be closed and archived.

Try it!

No, one or the other. That's what "try EAPDFix kext instead" meant.

Make sure you have the latest version of the kext. Then you could also try EAPDFix kext instead.

Graphics not initialising...

Well-known bug: double press required to get out of Caps mode. You can look that up.

Added DW1820A combo Wifi ac/BT4.1 NGFF M.2 card. /!\ Caution: do not confuse with DW1820 which is incompatible!

There seems to be some confusion on this card (or I should say these cards), so let's try and clarify the matter. There are actually 2 x cards: a DW1820 and a DW1820A. The difference may be subtle but essential nonetheless... DW1820 is based on Qualcomm chipset QCA6174A. It carries PCI id 168c:003e. It's unsupported as specified in our inventory list. DW1820A is based on Broadcom BCM4350. That card carries PCI id 14e4:43a3. It's supported with a specific config. DW1820: DW1820A: -> I've updated the wireless inventory accordingly.

Got an opportunity to obtain a very cheap motherboard with an [email protected] (boost to 3.7GHz). Straight replacement as expected, all I had to do was generate a new CPU PM ssdt. Nothing further. GeekBench score on the up of course:

Indeed, you only place patched tables in ACPI/patched Clover folder (and /Extra for Chameleon/Enoch). Of course, the bootloader/OS loads raw ACPI tables from BIOS by default. 'goes without saying...

In the same folder as your other add-on kexts! /L/E or Clover kexts folder I guess...

'doubt it, that parameter only applied to Yosemite. Since El Capitan, you need to disable SIP...

That's obsolete stuff. AR9285 works with a simple Atheros40 patch (where you inject dev id 168c,2b) or DSDT patch (where you declkare compatibility with a supported Atheros model) as explained in our Wireless inventory thread:

When you have no audio, is it after a reboot from Windows? And when you have audio, is it after a cold boot? Because my Haswell E6440 does that...

-> Moved from FAQ to the correct Support section... If you install VoodooHDA + AppleHDADisabler kexts, you should then see details of your Codec in DPCIManager app. Battery monitoring needs, at least, Rehabman's ACPIBatteryManager kext. NB: Do think of resizing your pictures before you attach them because 3000+ x 2000+ is not exactly suitable. Reduce to something like 800x600 or 1024x768. That's usually more than enough.

Revised Mavericks pack with updated DSDT and updated FakeSMC with AGPM tuned for FX770M ids 10de:065a + 10de:065c. Added new pack for High Sierra (MacBookPro7,1 SMBIOS).

-> moved from Guides section to the correct Support section... Ok, we need to clarify a few things... The Precision M4400 is a mobile workstation, i.e. a powerful business laptop but a laptop nevertheless. As such, it cannot be fitted with Xeon Q9300 which is a 95W Yorkfield desktop workstation/server CPU. This also means it's not an IvyBridge-EP CPU. These indications must result from the fact you opted for an incorrect MacPro6,1 SMBIOS instead of a MacBookPro. You really should identify the real specs of your M4400 so that you know what's it's built on. It'll be a Penryn Core2Duo or maybe a Core2Extreme CPU and, in all likelihood, one of those late FSB1066 model. The correct SMBIOS model to opt for will be MacBookPro7,1. With regards to CPU heat, it's probably not running with adequate power management (if any at all), so you need to look that up ahead of anything else. With regards to graphics, you'll have to proceed with the AGPM tuning I had detailed several years ago on the forum.

That would be the RTL8723BU (U for USB). Wikidevi lists 2 x devices with that chipset: Edimax EW-7611ULB TRENDnet TBW-108UB v1 If you then look at their respective product/support page, guess what? Drivers! Edimax drivers TrendNet drivers Of course, you may have a different device, so look it up on its vendor's web site. I know it's hard to believe but manufacturers do tend to offer drivers on-line for their own devices... I have absolutely no USB combo device to recommend. The only combo devices I can recommend are Apple's own combo cards such as BCM94360CD. Those are 100% operational on a Hackintosh and provide all functionalities available between a realMac and external devices.

Enoch does not do those other things that Clover does, like all those ACPI patching. For kext patching, I believe it's self explanatory: it completes a find/replace action on cached kext just as Clover does. The code is expressed in Base64 as per Clover if you open up a Clover config in, say, TextEdit. Again, all is explained in the IM thread I linked above.

Seems to be a combo Wifi .11n+BT4.0 Realtek USB dongle. PCI id = 0bda:b720. Reading a lot of very negative feedback about this device. Probably best avoided...

Verbose mode works fine in r290x for any late OS X/recent macOS versions. Indeed, there was an erroneous/misplaced </dict> right under AppleHDA; remove it and the file will be Ok. Pre-Patched AICPUPM works the same as on the-fly-patch. I guess the former is a tad quicker than the latter, simply because it caches a kext whereas the on-the-fly performs an on-the-fly action on the cache. The file I posted was a sample; If the AR9285 patch is irrelevant to you (i.e. you have no such card), of course you should remove it.

I don't see the relevance of your audio and backlight issues with your partitioning issue which now appears resolved. Let's close this thread.

It's done via /E/E/kexts.plist. It follow the same principles as Clover. Details available here in IM's Chameleon thread. Use one of the latest versions such as r2905 or r2908. Micky1979 attached sample files too. Here's one for you: kexts.plist.zip
