Fn-insert still working? Are you using IntelBacklight kext? Please post a zipped copy of your EFI folder.

Afaik, there should be no need for IntelBacklight kext on your Azul (HD4400) E7440. My Azul (HD4600) E6440 runs 10.12.4 as per any previous OS X version with "just": Azul framebuffer/layout-id 0x0a260006 injection in DSDT Desktop HD4600 id injection in DSDT Rehabman's FakePCIID + FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics kexts After upgrading to 10.12.4 from 10.12.3, I still have the brightness bar in the display PrefPane and I can still increase or decrease brightness with Fn-Insert or Fn-F3.

Impossible to say without indication of chipset. Ask the seller and remember the old adage: "you get what you pay for"...

You have to learn and understand that there are 2 x methods to install and run OS X: one is Clover based, the other is Chameleon/Enoch based. "Extra" folder only applies to Chameleon/Enoch. I invite you to read several guides and learn as much as you can so that you then understand what OS X installation generally involves. If what you're after is more of a step-by-step/idiot's guide, you may look at this type of guidance. You can follow my E6230 guide for your E6430 and re-use the pack but keep in mind the following points: if you have a high resolution built-in LCD (1600x900 or above), find the relevant E6430's DSDT in another guide. The E6230 being low res, its DSDT would result in graphics issue on your E6430 if some of your USB ports do not work, try Rehabman's USBInjectall kext (you can Google for it) the HD4000 Capri framebuffer patch differs between a low res E6x30 and a high res model

2 issues noticed on my Sandy Bridge E6220 since the update: small graphics glitches on the HD3000 E6220 so I repatched the SNB framebuffer to increased VRAM from 384MB to 512MB and all appears Ok thereafter. Details of the patch are available here. CPU clogging at full speed when running Safari. Kills performance... It's a repeatable behaviour that I cannot reproduce with other browsers such as Chrome.

No difference. The Combo is just an offline method.

Please consult the existing guides in the Guides section. In particular: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-clover-guide/ The Enoch-based E6230 guide can also be heavily followed from a process perspective and you can re-use most of the bootpack (except DSDT, SSDT and USBInjector for instance). https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8883-dell-latitude-e6230-with-i5-3340m-hd4000-and-1366x768-lcd-mavericksyosemiteel-capitansierra/

You're confusing your Ivy Bridge E6330 model with its Sandy Bridge older brothers... Dell Latitude E6xx0 family models are as follows: Latitude E6x10 = 1st gen Core (Arrandale) laptops Latitude E6x20 = 2nd gen Core (Sandy Bridge) laptops Latitude E6x30 = 3rd gen Core (Ivy Bridge) laptops Latitude E6x40 = 4th gen Core (Haswell) laptops Each of those "i" Core CPU families integrate their own GPU: Arrandale = 1st gen Intel HD graphics Sandy Bridge = HD 3000 graphics (+ HD 2000) Ivy Bridge = HD 4000 graphics (+ HD 2500) Haswell = HD 4200/4400/4600/etc. graphics In your particular case, it appears you've confused the drivers used for Sandy Bridge HD3000 and those for Ivy Bridge HD4000. In the OS X world: AppleIntelSNBFB.kext = framebuffer for SaNdy Bridge HD3000 graphics AppleIntelFramebufferCapri = framebuffer for Ivy Bridge HD4000 graphics The E6330 being Ivy Bridge, the SNB/HD3000 framebuffer does not apply and, evidently, won't load. It's the Capri framebuffer that applies to your laptop. As such, patching the SNB framebuffer was useless. Regretfully, HD4000 VGA output is not supported under OS X since ML 10.8.2... You can only patch the Capri framebuffer for HDMI, DP and DVI output. You can refer to the dedicated HD4000 output thread JakeLo linked to (https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2945-guide-for-enabling-vga-and-hdmi-in-intel-hd4000-gpu/). If you do not have any HDMI-capable display, I would suggest you invest in a mini-HDMI to VGA or mini-HDMI to DVI adapter to hook your external screen:

No need of a patched kernel on IvyBridge platforms; you only need the AICPUPM patch. If you use Clover, no particular reason why your E6530 would hang post-update. If you use Enoch, things are a little different since you need to re-patch the vanilla AICPUPM kext installed by the upgrade. Provided you kept NullCPUPM kext in /E/E and run a recent version of Enoch such as r2848, you should be able to boot with option & flag: -f KernelBooter_kexts=Yes. Add -v flag to boot in verbose mode and see where the laptop hangs.

I would suggest you install Sierra using a vanilla method, not a distro. We have guides in the EDP->Guides for supported models section.

Best possible cards, imo, are Apple's own Broadcom BCM4360 such as the BCM4360CD with mini-PICe adapter. If you need guidance on hardware elements replacement, download the owner's manual off Dell's web site!

A compatible card maybe? We cannot guess what's fitted to your computer so you'll have to tell us (as always...). We'll assume that: wireless is enabled in BIOS wireless on/off side switch is in ON position If necessary: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-inventory-of-supported-and-unsupported-wireless-cards/

What are the laptop specs? If it's dual GPU, you should be able to disable the discrete GPU (dGPU) through a SSDT patch. This assumes your integrated GPU (iGPU) is supported by OS X of course... You'll have to extract your raw ACPI BIOS tables and post them. With Clover, you can do that by pressing F4 at Clover main menu. All extracted tables will then be saved to Clover/ACPI/origin folder of your EFI partition or EFI main folder, depending on your Clover installation.

Seems like you're suffering from the well-known post-10.11.4 VoodooPS2Controller-related KP. Use one of Dr Hurt's revised versions.

Do as stated by JakeLo and manually set your board-id to same value as found in the SMBIOS posted in the bootpack. Or reuse his exact same SMBIOS but generate new serial number using the random buttons.

Build 16E195. Ok on my C2D D630, Sandy Bridge E6220, Ivy Bridge E6230 and Haswell E6440. Consider it safe to apply on all Hacks.

You should not need to add "Kernel=/System/Library/Kernels/kernel". That's the default path + kernel file and your syntax may be incorrect. Did you try any of the Lilu disabling or beta options to compare behaviour ? If you read the page Broxteck linked you to, it says:

installer is clearly complaining about file system format or partitioning size. Try and perform a low-level format from a Windows machine (you can use HDD Low Level Format tool from hddguru.com to that effect - a quick low-level format will suffice), then redo the SSD partitioning (GPT/GUID scheme) + partition formatting (OS X Extended (journaled)) from Disk Utility prior to actual OS installation.

These port replicators work Ok with all E6x20, E6x30 or E6x40 I've tested them with. You simply need to patch your Capri framebuffer kext as detailed in the dedicated Capri thread or in the thread Bronxteck linked above.

You can install Sierra on this workstation but the nVidia Quadro FX 1700 is probably not supported. It's very likely that you'll have to change it by a supported graphics card.

Then you have another copy, possibly in /L/E...

In Bluetooth settings, you normally see what is being broadcasted/advertised by the BT devices near you. You screenshot seems to show a BT Speaker of some sort which is using that name to advertise itself. It's not a result of anything on your Hack with the DW1380 (assuming what you've posted is a screenshot from your Hack running the DW1380 of course!) and if this info can be changed, that'll be only on the speaker itself. In OS X, this advertising info can be set in Sharing PrefPane->Bluetooth sharing section.

If you appear to lose audio on wake, whether speaker or headphones, put the laptop to sleep again and wake it. Audio should be fully functional again. From memory, VoodooHDA will work fine, just not support HDMI audio.
