    No kexts no, this Sunplus UVC webcam (ven/dev ids 0x1bcf/0x2802) is USB internal and works OOB using Apple's own inner drivers. You'll find no specific add-on kexts for it. Make sure you have full graphics acceleration and good enough ambient light in the room.

    Install EC or Sierra? Yes. Obtain full graphics acceleration? Possibly but doubtful this will still be supported. Radeon HD 4330 is low-level and old stuff... Use Clover, select EDID injection and the correct AMD family framebuffer. You'll have to try the various framebuffers in the Clover list all until you (hopefully) find the correct one that works.

    Ok, so it's indeed a SandyBridge CPU. You therefore need to adjust the graphics settings as mentioned earlier. Please note that there is no Turbo boost mode on this i3 CPU (which is often the case on these entry level CPUs) https://ark.intel.com/products/53438/Intel-Core-i3-2350M-Processor-3M-Cache-2_30-GHz Post a zipped copy of the DSDT + Clover config.plist you're currently trying to use and we'll try to do the needful, i.e. inject the correct laptop SNB/HD3000 layout (and remove the HD4000 layout injection). You'll also have to remove and CPU power management SSDT not meant for your i3-2350M and re-generate the appropriate one with Pike's usual tool.

    Those guides are for IvyBridge CPUs with HD4000 graphics. As such, it should be no surprise that they're not fully applicable to your model since it's apparently a SandyBridge i3/HD3000 model. We haven't seen many of those around here. The overall OS X/macOS installation process remains the same but the patched DSDT and/or graphics settings posted in the guides clearly apply to HD4000 graphics not to HD3000. You must therefore adjust the graphics settings to, say, those described in the E6220 guides. Lookup Rehabman's laptop patches repository as well. I think there are specific DSDT patches for SandyBridge on Series 7 chipset. What's your exact CPU model? It should be listed in BIOS System Information.

    D8xx are meant to run on 90W mains adapter. You're probably are or were given a message at start-up informing you that your adapter could not be determined and that this may prevent system performance. Note that this may also happen if your power adapter cable is damaged. http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN148385/ac-adapter-error-message-occurs?lang=EN I'm not aware of any Clover option or macOS parameter that could bypass this Dell safety matter. Considering the price of an adapter (we're talking less than 10€/$), I'd advise you to go for it. The workaround you mentioned sounds quite far from being a hardship...

    -s flag will not boot your system since it's for single-user mode, i.e. some step by step special boot mode you only use when you try to repair the system after doing something that broke it... You want to use -f -v flags to boot without cache and in verbose mode.
  7. Hervé
    Then you know what to look at...

    You're quite mistaken! Broadcom device 5880 is no Bluetooth module. It's a SoC used for security purposes. https://www.broadcom.com/products/embedded-and-networking-processors/secure/bcm5880 https://blog.g3rt.nl/enable-dell-nfc-contactless-reader.html Your DW1560 is either not in a WWAN slot (mandatory to get Bluetooth over USB) and/or your USB ports are not all functional (you would need to patch your DSDT to rename EHCx devices to EH0x and install a USB injector kext). Look up details of the DW1560 in the wikidevi link provided in our inventory thread. At the risk of sounding silly, are you sure you have a DW1560 or a combo Wifi/BT card? If you have a Bluetooth module and Bluetooth is enabled, BIOS information page should show something like "Bluetooth device = installed" next to Wifi and Cellular (=WWAN/3G-4G) devices.

    You won't get anywhere with old Chameleon option arch=i386 on anything younger than Lion! All subsequent OS X/maxOS versions are 64bit only... If your USB installer does not seem to load anything any longer after a short while, try unplugging/replugging it. I'd leave PciRoot at default value to begin with (i.e. 0) unless you know that it is set to something different in DSDT. Re: USB ports, you could try USBLegacyOff=Yes instead of USBBusFix=Yes which enables all 3 x USB fixes: EHCIacquire UHCIreset USBLegacyOff Remember to rigorously follow the syntax of the options as all are syntax sensitive. If in doubt about a particular option, type ? at Chameleon prompt/delay bar. For instance, it's USBBusFix not USBBUSfix or arch=i386 not arch=1386...

    Are you sure they're both identical in every respect and that CPUs do not differ from one model to the other?
  11. Hervé
    You probably weren't using the Sierra patched version but an older one...
  12. Hervé
    Well, if that green stuff isn't a successful cache rebuild, I don't know what is...
  13. Hervé
    Delete the prelinked kernel as found in the folder described in the path and the cache. Use the following Terminal commands: sudo rm -f <prelinked kernel path/filename> sudo rm -Rf /S*/L*/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/* Then rebuild your cache: sudo touch /L*/E* sudo touch /S*/L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U /
  14. Hervé
    Are you sure you properly connected the power cable of the fan? Hard shutdown sounds like the CPU T° safeguard. Check your T° with HWMonitor tool. Regarding thermal paste on the CPU, you're only supposed to put a rice grain equivalent in the centre of its top. No more.

    You need to zip your files before you can attach and post them. Jpeg pictures are already compressed...
  16. Hervé
    Then boot with the following manual parameters to see what happens: KernelBooter_kexts=Yes -f -v.

    As stated sooooo many times on the forum, re-enter the touch and kextcache commands. Do this immediately after the "xxxxxx status 77" message.
  19. Hervé
    So... lappy shuts down now?

    Depending on the bootpack you used, it could be a VoodooPS2Controller issue. From 10.11.4, the traditional version caused KP. Ok with Dr Hurt's recent versions. You can also grab a perfectly working version of Dr Hurt's kext in my E6230 Sierra pack.
  21. Hervé
    The pop-up error message will appear right after you copy the kext to /L/E but have not repaired /L/E permissions yet. In that respect, make sure not to forget any of the commands posted by JakeLo. If you obtain the "xxxxxx status 77" message in the end, re-enter the touch + kextcache commands until it's gone. Message "xxxxxx status 17" is Ok.

    Added Asus PCE-AC66 (450/1300Mbps) & PCE-AC68 (600/1300Mbps) 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2.4/5GHz desktop PCIe x1 cards.
  23. Hervé
    Since the question was asked, let's clarify the matter... Various PCIe desktop adapters/cards carrying the above BCM94360CD (or its other derivatives) + a USB connector (for Bluetooth) work exactly the same way. They are found at the usual on-line commercial and auction sites. Some carry 2 antennas, some carry 3, some carry 4. There are raw adapters on which one fits an Apple card or ready-to-use cards with everything on them (wireless card often hidden under a little plate). Eg: NB: Windows drivers are usually available for extraction from Apple's Bootcamp drivers/tools. Using Pacifist on the OS X/macOS installation package should do the trick.
  24. Hervé
    No, no, no... Just set the KernelBooter_kexts parameter to No as stated in the guide.
  25. Hervé
    I wouldn't be so categoric with regards to following the guide "to the T": you've kept KernelBooter_kexts parameter to Yes. As such, your cache is ignored, kexts placed in /L/E should be ignored and you only inject kexts from /E/E. Once you're placed all add-on kexts to /L/E and rebuilt your cache, the boot parameter is meant to be set to No, as stipulated in the guide.
