You may want to switch to Clover and activate the "Inject EDID" option...

Ok, so your EDID would be: 00,FF,FF,FF,FF,FF,FF,00,36,7F,25,00,00,00,00,00,2D,0C,01,04,A0,2F,1A,00,EA,A8,E0,99,57,4B,92,25, 1C,50,54,00,00,00,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,40,38,80,A0,70,38,4B,40,34,36, 99,05,DC,0C,11,00,00,18,38,31,80,40,71,38,2D,40,6A,6A,FF,00,DC,0C,11,00,00,18,00,00,00,FC,00,4E, 76,69,64,69,61,20,44,65,66,61,75,6C,00,00,00,FC,00,74,20,46,6C,61,74,20,50,61,6E,65,6C,00,00,DB You can try to inject that in DSDT through "AAPL00,override-no-connect" or "AAPL00,override-no-edid" parameter in a DSM attached to your active GPU.

Mario, you're sure of that compiled kext? Looks very small...

You'll need 10.8.5 installation app because its kernel has support for the Haswell platform. Previous kernels don't. If you've already purchased or downloaded ML from AppStore in the past through your account, it'll be there again to download and you'll obtain the last version 10.8.5. Failing that, you can still purchase it for about $/€20... http://www.apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

i3-4005U or i3-4010U I assume?

Not a problem. Bear in mind these low-voltage Haswell CPUs are low-specs with no Turbo boost, so they run @1.7GHz and that's it. At 15W, they should be good for the battery but you may find they run at full speed all the time... Re: graphics, it's HD4400 so that'll be same setup as for mobile HD4600. Consider it'll be the same as your E7240, just much slower.

Lookup the 10.11.6 TouchPad PrefPane in Dr Hurt's PS2Controller thread and run his execution script at login time.

Last update: 5 Aug 2018 Following tuning work on forum member's systems, here are full packs for Mavericks and High Sierra that supports full CPU SpeedStep and full GPU power management under MacBookPro5,4 and MacBookPro7,1 SMBIOS. Work platforms was fitted with P8700 CPU @2.53GHz and and QX9300 CPUs @2.53GHz, both FSB 1066MHz. FakeSMC was tuned to appropriate MacBookPro SMC keys and AGPM for nVidia Quadro FX 770M (10de:065c) or FX 1700M (10de:065a). CPU SpeedStep was observed from LFM 800MHz to HFM 2.53GHz. GPU throttling was observed at the following 4 x Core/Memory frequencies: 168/100, 235/300, 400/300, 625/799MHz. CPU and GPU T° were nicely contained around 50°C as a result. M4400 nVidia Quadro FX 770M/1700M (all res) M4400_FX770M_10.9.5_Pack(Chameleon).zip M4400_HighSierra_Clover-Enoch_pack.zip NB: Mavericks pack was validated on a myHack v3.3.1 installation. Later version of OS X will require usual manual installations. Pack for Yosemite should be the same as Mavericks but I prefer to wait until this is confirmed in the field before uploading one. El Capitan and later should require the usual adjustments for USB ports (DSDT EHCx renaming, USB injector).

CPU speed reporting, CPU SpeedStep and GPU PowerManagement all sorted now.

It's not mentioned in Dinesh's HD4000 guide but the HiRes framebuffer 0x01660004 only carries 1 x output port by default (LVDS). It must therefore be patched to support additional video outputs and HDMI audio: In the case of Sierra 10.12, the vanilla framebuffer 0x01660004 is defined as follows: 04006601 01030101 00000002 // 1 x display output port 00000001 00000060 10070000 10070000 00000000 60290400 00000000 00000000 00000000 05030000 02000000 30020000 // LVDS port 00000000 01000000 40000000 00000000 01000000 40000000 00000000 01000000 40000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 and, building on the patch for LoRes FB 0x01660003, it can be patched to this: 04006601 01020402 00000004 // 4 x display output port 00000001 00000060 10070000 10070000 00000000 60290400 00000000 00000000 00000000 05030000 02000000 30020000 // LVDS 02050000 00080000 06000000 // HDMI 03040000 00040000 81000000 // DP/DVI (untested) 04060000 00040000 81000000 // DP/DVI (untested) 00000000 00020011 00000000 The patch is not a mirror copy or copy/paste of the contents of the LoRes FB. In particular, it's critical leave the LVDS port definition unchanged (line 05030000 ...). In a nutshell, the patch consists of: Find: 040066010103010100000002 Replace: 040066010102040200000004 + Find: 0503000002000000300200000000000001000000400000000000000001000000400000000000000001000000400000000000000000000000 Replace: 0503000002000000300200000205000000080000060000000304000000040000810000000406000000040000810000000000000000020011

It's probably just cosmetic, nothing to worry about and NullCPUPM will be of no use to that effect. In fact, you should not use that kext at all as full CPU SpeedStep is supported on C2D systems. If you want the proper CPU speed to be reported, ensure you've got: a FakeSMC kext tuned to the target Mac SMBIOS profile you use P States and C States generation enabled in o.c.B plist https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2673-performance-tuning-with-fakesmc/ Post your specs and a zipped copy of your /Extra folder. Use HWMonitor to check your true CPU's throttling.

Broadwell platforms and beyond require a BIOS patch for DVMT adjustment (video RAM) or BDW framebuffer kext patch. Did you do any of that?

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9597-sony-vpcj116fd-pcg-11211l-with-yosemite-on-chameleon/?p=67629 Alternatively... https://www.google.com/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=7tydWJmwCOX-8AfVg7rYAQ&gws_rd=cr&fg=1#q=edid+extraction

Never Press Fn-F8, that's for (the VGA output under) Windows. It'll always cause what you've experienced under OS X. You'll only be able to recover through Sleep/Wake or hard reboot. HDMI output is automatic as soon as you plug the cable in. But you may need to 1st patch the Capri framebuffer. Look it in the R&D->Graphics section, there's a guide. I've also included a pre-patched kext in my E6230 Enoch guide, though it's probably not directly applicable to your E6430 (different layout-id due to different LCD res). But all you need to do is copy the patched FB kext to /L/E, repair permissions and rebuild the cache. Increase the patched kext's version and it will take preference over the vanilla kext in /S/L/E. Re: AppleHDA patch, you modify the binary file found under Contents/MacOS in the kext package with a Hex editor app/too such as HexFiend or 0xED for instance. You can also call on perl Terminal commands if you prefer. You can look this up on Google; there is plethora of samples around.

Copies of the kernels are available here 2) 10.12 installation Boot the 10.12 USB installer (it may take a little time to kick in) with -f -v boot flags At macOS installer main screen, open up Disk Utility in Utilities menu If applicable, partition your target disk in GPT/GUID scheme Create your target 10.12 partition and format it as OS X Extended (Journaled) Close Disk Utility and proceed with macOS 10.12 installation as usual 3) Post-installation fine-tuning Reboot the 10.12 USB installer (it may take a little time to kick in) At macOS installer main screen, open up Terminal in Utilities menu Verify CoreStorage installation disk mode diskutil list If CoreStorage activated for Fusion drive (i.e. presence of a logical disk), revert to legacy mode diskutil corestorage revert <device> (for example: /dev/disk1) Identify your freshly made 10.12 partition name df Copy the Extra folder from the USB installer to your identified 10.12 disk partition cp -R /Extra /Volumes/<your fresly made 10.12 partition name> (for example: cp -R /Extra /Volumes/OSX_disk) Reboot the 10.12 USB installer, press a key at delay bar (or F8) to interrupt boor process and select your freshly made 10.12 disk partition. You'll then be booting Sierra for the 1st time Complete the 1st boot installation finalisation Once at the 10.12 desktop, run the Enoch r2848 package from your USB installer to install Enoch on your HDD; it should be installed on the 1st partition of the disk Eject the 10.12 USB installer and put it aside Disable hibernation (can be done later, but should be done): open up Terminal and type the following commands sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 sudo pmset hibernatefile /dev/null sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage copy all kexts from /Extra/Extensions to /Library/Extensions (ignore and acknowledge the permissions-related error messages) copy patched AppleHDA from /Extra/Extensions/Copy_to_SLE to /System/Library/Extensions (ignore and acknowledge the permissions-related error messages) repair kexts permissions and rebuild cache sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E* sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E* sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E* sudo touch -f /L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Edit /Extra/kernel.plist and set KernelBooter_kexts parameter to No <key>KernelBooter_kexts</key> <string>No</string> If your E6440 is fitted with a different CPU than the i5-5300M, download Pike R Alpha's SSDT generator tool and generate your own CPU-specific SSDT. Copy the resulting SSDT.aml file to /Extra folder (it's normally prompted by the tool). Reboot your finalised Sierra installation Please note that: Loading injected 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. In Sierra, the AppleHDA binary patch for codec ALC292 consists of: replace 8419D411 by 9202EC10 (2 x instances) replace 8508EC10 by 00000000 (2 x instances) replace 8408EC10 by 00000000 (2 x instances) Other E6440 laptops fitted with a different CPU will require a different (and suitable) SSDT table than provided in the above pack (can be looked up on the web or created with Pike R Alpha's SSDT generator tool).

Fn-F3 for reduce brightness FN-Insert to increase it Your Webcam is USB-internal and the trouble you experience is linked to your other USB issues. Basically, you need to rename DSDT EHCx devices to EH0x and use a USB injector. This matter is widely discussed and covered on all forums including this one. Do a Search on the matter.

Well, same result as with the iMac10,1 SMBIOS -> no display registers under the nVidia GPU. Did you extract your EDID info?

You can adjust the DSDT of a HiRes HD4000 E6430 to your LoRes model by the following simple modification of the _DSM method of the iGPU device located at address 0x00020000: set DualLink from 1 to 0 set layout-id from 0x01660004 to 0x01660003 In ACPI code, this translates to: Before "AAPL00,DualLink", Buffer (0x04) { 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, "AAPL,ig-platform-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x04, 0x00, 0x66, 0x01 }, After "AAPL00,DualLink", Buffer (0x04) { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, "AAPL,ig-platform-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x03, 0x00, 0x66, 0x01 }, You can also remove the entry for "AAPL00,DualLink" entirely.

Haswell is only supported in ML 10.8.5. Should be able to install it using same method as for El Capitan. You can consult my E6440 guide for pointers, knowing that the E6440 and E7440 bear many similarities and share hardware components. The difference with my guide is that my E6440 as a CPU with HD4600 whereas you have a little brother with HD4400. You may have to use a different Azul framebuffer.

Fn-F1 does not properly put E6230 to sleep under Sierra; it seems to actually kick hibernation instead. So the laptop will actually shutdown and a sleep image file will be created. It's probably a side effect of some incompatibility with the generated CPUPM-related SSDT. I had fixed a similar issue on the E6440 under Yosemite. Until we suss this out, proceed as JakeLo recommends: close the lid or use Apple menu option.

Oh, you're using iMac10,1 SMBIOS. That's C2D... Could you try the iMac11,1/11,2/11,3 profiles instead; these are Arrandale/1st gen Intel "i" Core platforms.

I think your USB installer is not made properly. Or it's your target HDD/SSD that needs to be repartitioned and reformatted. Recommended scheme is GPT/GIUD and format is "OS X Extended (Journaled)".

Unzipped! It should auto-unzip with Safari.

You should indeed be able to use the DSDT posted for "E6430 1600x900 and above" model. That"ll have the correct graphics settings, namely: DualLink set to 1 Capri layout-id 0x01660004

Remove the offending Shiki kext since it appears to cause issues at installation time. It's a very recent addition to the bootpack. I'll remove it from the pack posted in the guide and will recommend to use it as as post-installation item.
