For WWAN, head over to WWAN forum section where you can open a dedicated thread if needed. Of course, you'll have to indicate the model and specs of the device because "the WWAN module" just won't do...

Head over to our Wireless forum section, you'll find your answers there. https://osxlatitude.com/forum/104-wireless-and-bluetooth/

OS X/macOS kernels, patched for Haswell PM, will in no way be incompatible with any graphics drivers or otherwise. You can always look for older Mavericks-time Web drivers. Failing that, why not consider disabling the nVidia dGPU and operate solely on the HD4600 iGPU? Anyway, if you want more support, please post the usual stuff: Clover EFI folder or Chameleon Extra folder Clover or Chameleon version Version of Mavericks you run Copy of IOReg extraction indication of what you may have done with add-on kexts (eg: injection from Clover or installation to /L/E, etc.)
-
I confirm: windows server not initialising on output display. This is typically what happens when running on an unsupported dGPU or output port.

DW1540 is NOT supported. Please consult our wireless card inventory for a list of supported devices.

ELAN, FocalTech and Synaptics (Smart Touchpad) Driver
Hervé replied to EMlyDinEsH's topic in Smart Touchpad
My last post was obviously not clear enough and some people keep pestering about updates so this thread is temporarily locked. We got the message, we know you're all disappointed and desperate for an update but nagging on and on will not change anything. Dinesh is not available for his own private reasons and that's the end of it for the time being. -
You can consult/search our Wireless forum section re: DW1820A.

DW1550 is based on Broadcom BCM4352; that'll work with DSDT patch or AirportBrcm4360 patch of installation of Rehabman's FakePCIID + FakePCIID_Broadcom_Wifi kexts or Clover id faking. You can look that up in our Wireless forum section. nVidia K3100M should work OOB as far as I know.

E7440 10.13.3 update to 10.13.4 success minus wifi
Hervé replied to some latitude's topic in The Archive
Perfectly normal if you were using a patched Atheros40 kext in /S/L/E. It would have been replaced by a vanilla version during the update. Please refer to our wireless card inventory and apply the DSDT patch instead; that'll sort you out once and for all! -
HP ELITEBOOK 8770W NVIDIA K3000M HIGH SIERRA Sleep and Backlight Help!
Hervé replied to ammar123's topic in The Archive

I've not searched the binary file of the kext for MB8,1 board-id, but I guess you can always try the patch then; you'll quickly see if it works or not.
-
Erm... no! That would effectively replace MacBookPro13,1 board-id ("Mac-473D31EABEB93F9B") by MacBook8,1 board-id ("Mac-BE0E8AC46FE800CC"), i.e. the opposite of what you probably desire. Before you even consider patching the AirPortBrcm4360 kext, please verify that the DW1820A works using MacBook8,1 SMBIOS. Did you do that ? If you did not, don't bother with the patch. However, if you've confirmed the card does work OOB after switching SMBIOS and you want to return to MBP13,1 SMBIOS (assuming this is what you normally use), you'll want to replace the MacBook8,1 board-id by MacBookPro13,1 board-id. You'll therefore have to swap your above Find/Replace hex strings because you got them the wrong way round. Find = original data to replace Replace = replacement/target data You'll also want to replace the patch description to this, although this is prurely cosmetic but accuracy would avoid much confusion: <string>DW1820A whitelist Patch (MBP13,1)</string>

AR9565 is not a reliable card in a Hackintosh. Better to opt for a better supported model...
-
Try and opt for MacBook8,1 SMBIOS to bypass potential whitelisting. Wikidevi states these were fitted with a Broadcom BCM94350 wireless card (Ven/Dev id=14e4:43a3, SubVen:SubDev id=106b:0131) If whitelisting were in place, the MB8,1 board-id to target for replacement in AirPortBrcm4360 binary patch would be "Mac-BE0E8AC46FE800CC". You would follow the exact same principles as detailed here for getting DW1520 cards working.

[SOLVED] Cloned High Sierra E6520 SSD for use on E6540
Hervé replied to VTHackMac's topic in The Archive
Fn-DOWN/Fn-UP don't work, no. Use Fn-F3/Fn-Insert instead. -
Yup, normal; those key combinations are not supported under OS X/macOS. Use the Display PrefPane to control your displays or install Display Menu app (free off the AppStore). The app supports screen res change, display mirroring, etc.. You could find that Fn-F1 shuts down the computer or engages hibernation, rather than sleep.

IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext ? Not required afaik on this Latitude model...

You can re-use mine since you too have a i5-4300M CPU...

Merom CPUs (e.g.: T5xxx, T7xxx) do not have such instructions set and do not allow Sierra installation. Sierra installation is not supported with MBP5,1 SMBIOS profile (although Sierra can subsequently run with that SMBIOS). Hence the switch to MBP7,1 profile. FakeSMC SMC keys + AGPM tuning revised accordingly (GPU (i.e. AGPM) performance tuning has been injected into FakeSMC kext and no longer requires additional action at this stage). the DSDT was modified to rename USB2.0 controllers to EH01/EH02; failing that, Sierra does not recognise any USB2.0 ports/devices. USB ports all functional thanks to D830-specific USB_injector kext (DSDT-described ports injected to MBP7,1 profile). VoodooHDA + AppleHDADisabler kexts have to be placed in /L/E in order to load (they don't load from /E/E). Injecting kexts from /E/E with boot option KernelBooter_kexts=Yes is slower than loading cached kexts placed in /S/L/E or /L/E. After any kexts modification, whether to /S/L/E or to /L/E, repair permissions and rebuild cache as detailed above.

My E6440 has 2 x 4GB SODIMM. But if you want to verify that point, remove the 4GB module and make sure to keep the 8GB one in 1st slot/Slot A. You can use my E6440 Sierra bootpack and make the following adjustments: remove all SSDT-x files from /Extra (they're used to turn off the AMD dGPU). You can keep i5-4300M CPU PM table SSDT.aml (you have same CPU as mine). replace the DSDT file in /Extra by the new patched DSDT I posted above The rest remains unchanged.
-
No, none of the SSDT tables need patching. This being said, you have to use a generated CPU power management SSDT for your i5 CPU using Pike R Alpha's famous generator script. This will go to /Extra folder under the name SSDT.aml. Since you have the same i5-4300M as my E6440, you can re-use the SSDT.aml table of my bootpacks.
