You'll find all the guides you need in the Guides section of the forum, especially JakeLo's detailed one for Latitude/Precision/Inspiron.etc. It has all the necessary guidance and files to get your E6430 nVidia going. Your KP shows you don't even have enabled the basic AICPUPM patch that's required on this Ivy Bridge platform. All E6x30 run patched AppleHDA for IDT92HD93 rather than VoodooHDA. It's much better and supports HDMI audio. Regarding editing a kext, you 1st need to make a copy (not a move) to your Desktop before you patch it. Only then will you be able to modify its contents. Once done, copy it back where it came from (I'm talking /S/L/E or /L/E here), repair permissions and rebuild your cache. Full details on this in the FAQ section. If you inject kexts through Clover rather than cache the, you don't need to worry about permissions and cache...

No, I stated your previous picture did not show a meaningful KP. Best to post a zipped copy of your Clover folder so that we can look into your settings.

Please describe this. "A" guide found online? No support for distros or TMX here I'm afraid. Both are evil stuff. Apple OS has been free for some years so please proceed with a full vanilla installation. You'd also greatly benefit from specifying the version you're trying to install.

I can recommend a Windows based tool called Low-level Format from HDDGuru. Does the job perfectly; you're back with a raw disk with no partition on it. http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/

I very much doubt your KP would be linked to FakeSMC or AppleALC. Very likely with an older/early version of Lilu though... Try and boot in single-user mode to delete the old lilu kext and, ifit was installed in /S/L/E or /L/E, rebuild your cache. You should then be able to reboot your Hack and re-install the latest version. https://github.com/vit9696/Lilu/releases

Look up JakeLo's generic guide for Latitude / Inspiron /Precision / XPS guide in the Guides->Dell forum section.

You should be able to install current High Sierra on your Skylake laptop using any recent clover-based guide. What will work: HD 520 graphics will be supported (you may have to disable AMD dGPU if it's not supported under macOS - I have not checked) LAN will be supported with the appropriate kext (it's available afaik) What will not work: Realtek card reader - it's unsupported afaik but check Sinetek's kext at InsanelyMac Intel wireless card - no support for Intel cards whatsoever, you'll have to replace it by a supported model or a USB dongle Unknown: Conexant audio - is this supported by AppleHDA patch or add-on kext? Webcam - it'll work either natively or not at all Good luck.

Kexts are like underwear or condoms: you only need one! Either in /S/L/E or -preferably- in /L/E... Or Clover's kexts folder if you opt for kext injection.

On double checking, that card is indeed fitted with 3 x MHF4 connectors, so it's not something reserved to NGFF cards. http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/azurewave-aw-cb160h-3x3-3-wireless-ac-in-a-non-apple-laptop.777878/ That could be your perfect card as it's an 802.11ac 1300Mbps card based on BCM4360 chip, i.e. supported OOB under OS X/macOS.

I don't believe I stated that removing those unnecessary kexts would resolve the shutdown issue. That's likely to be a DSDT or Clover config issue. Try this revised Clover config. config.plist.zip

Afaik, only NGFF/M.2 wireless cards are fitted with 1.5mm MHF4 connectors, mini-PCIe models normally have the bigger 2mm connectors. If you want to hook up a mini-PCIe WLAN card to MHF4 antennas, you probably need to look for cable adaptors.

Your system will run perfectly Ok with High Sierra's vanilla version.

@Ninno0, as a newcomer please read our forum rules + FAQ section. Also, please make a habit of searching the forum before posting (the facility is available in the Header and Footer of the forum); you may find existing answers for your questions...

Your IOReg shows a JMicron JMC250 GigEthernet controller attached to GLAN device @0,5 under parent device RP06@1C,5. Unlike your Broadcom BCM4352, I'm not sure that JMicron card is actually supported under OS X/macOS. There was an attempted driver several years ago; you may want to give it a try: https://github.com/ghostec/jmc250 https://www.osx86.net/files/file/934-j-micron-jmc250-ethernet/ (64bit-only kext) Regarding battery, you have no driver to monitor its status so download and install Rehabman's latest ACPIBatteryManager kext. On another note, you should remove the following add-on kexts from your Clover kexts folder: Snow Leopard 10.6.7's AppleAPCIPlatform v1.3.5; it's totally unnecessary (was only required in Lion and ML). NullCPUPowerManagement; you want vanilla CPU power management with P States and C States generation in your Clover config (which you have); you may also remove those CPU PM related SSDT drops...

You can look up JakeLo's guide for Latitude/Precision/Inspiron in the Guides section. Re: card reader, it should work OOB once you apply the necessary little DSDT patch. Details are posted in the R&D->Hardware->SD Card Reader section.

From a fresh USB installer for sure. From AppStore, you need Clover.

You can upgrade by making a fresh installation os say Yosemite or El Capitan over your existing one. This will keep all your exising data, files and apps.

I've finally re-compiled Ethernet BCM5722D kext v2.3.6 in fat-binary mode, i.e. combined 32 and 64bit modes (was previously only available as 64bit version). Tested Ok on D630 (and D830) from Snow Leopard 10.6 to High Sierra 10.13. Works perfectly. BCM5722D.kext.zip More info at InsanelyMac: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/79-bcm5722d/ http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247470-bcm5722-bcm5754m-bcm5755m-bcm5787m-and-bcm5906m-nic-driver-3264-bit/

Generate your CPU-specific power management SSDT as suggested. You will then gain full CPU SpeedStepping + Turbo boost (if applicable). Select KernelPm in your Clover config to patch the kernel for CPU power management That's all.

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8696-is-my-wireless-card-compatible-with-os-x/

Try your initial installation with NullCPUPowerManagement. You can then look at CPU PM in a post-installation phase.
