As usual, please post your hardware specs (PCI ids) in order to identify your LAN card and the likely kext to drive it. Manufacturer's support web site is usually a good starting point...

You'll also be able to boot without cache, provided you inject mandatory kexts such as FakeSMC from /E/E through boot option KernelBooter_kexts=Yes.

Try to manually inject the various values of the Capri Framebuffer until you find out the correct one. It's usually 3 or 4 on laptops with HD4000 graphics. With Enoch, you can inject these values via boot parameter IntelCapriFB=xx, where xx is in the range 0 to 11. If you use Clover, you can adjust this in the Config.plist through the Clover Configurator.

You need to follow the guide a little better: you did not check CoreStorage presence and you clearly have a logical drive in place.

Seems your graphics are not initialising. You seem to run a really old BIOS version on that 6430u. I'd invite you to update but remember that you may not be able to run past a given version like on the E6x30 Series. Try out latest version A11 anyway. Bear in mind that the Latitude 6430u is not an 'E' model even though it's close in terms of specs (it's specifically based on ULV CPUs). As such, I'm not 100% certain that you can re-use the DSDT of the E6x30 series. Have a look at the existing threads related to the Latitude 6430u in this very section. Refer to this old Mavericks guide for reference (especially DSDT): https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7133-dell-latitude-6430u-with-i7-3667u-hd-4000-mavericks-1094/?hl=6430u

Boot in verbose mode to se when it hangs.

No, do not attempt to upgrade to anything past Lion. OS X last supports the D620 GPUs (whether Intel GMA950 or nVidia Quadro NVS 110M) in Lion 10.7.5 and in 32bit kernel mode. Beyond Lion, you'll have no graphics support/acceleration so do not bother. Pleased read the thread I linked to previously. To get fully functional Sleep/Wake operations, you'll need to: 1) set hibernate mode to 0 2) remove any sleepimage file in /var/vm I also recommend you align screen sleep on computer sleep in the Energy Savings PrefPane. Reason for that is that if you let the screen sleep on the D620 nVidia, it only wakes to a dark screen and you'll have to put the laptop to sleep, then wake it to recover display.

Try the following: Delete myHack.kext from /S/L/E Delete your /Extra folder Run myHack ans install your Extra again (pointing to the downloaded pack that you'll keep in, say, the Download folder).

It's a well know fact that every update installs a vanilla AppleHDA which therefore requires re-patching. The alternative is indeed to replace the new vanilla kext by an earlier pre-patched Sierra version.

You can manually update the database file as specified on Pike R Alpha's repo.

You update through combo update or via Apple menu. As simple as that.

There's no need for the nv_disable=1 parameter, that laptop has no nVidia GPU. The AMD GPU is not supported so it won't affect the system in any way. You've got the Intel GPU injection correct but you've not mentioned the Azul Framebuffer. The E6x40 laptops with HD4600 graphics require you to inject Azul FB #12, i.e. layout-id 0x0a260006. With your HiRes LCD, you may also need to set DualLink to 1.

It normally works with the PS2 kexts provided in the pack. Make sure you've run myFix after applying the pack.

Are you using myHack with the posted pack? Try and specify -f -v flags at Chameleon prompt.

1st make sure to use the latest D620 BIOS version A10 and a Core2Duo CPU (most D620 have a FSB667 Merom T7x00 CPU). Then configure the BIOS parameters as per the recommended settings posted here. To build your Lion USB installer, use myHack v3.1.2 or v3.3.1 + the Lion bootpack available here. This will get you to a known working installation.

You would not need to re-install the OS from scratch... Just the bootloader.

You gotta love Chameleon!

Erm... your SysProfiler output is from Mavericks... Not really what I was looking for. There is no sign of your DW1550 built-in BT module in your SysProfiler so it's clearly not registering as a USB device. I also note that you don't appear to use the latest optimised Mavericks' pack available here. Can you please post the saved SysProfiler output taken from El Capitan or Sierra with the DW1550 installed and the CSR dongle taken off? Whilst you're at it, also post: 1) your complete zipped /Extra folder (you're using Enoch, right?) without the Themes subfolder to minimise size 2) a saved IOReg output from IORegistryExplorer (both from El Capitan or Sierra) If you have an internal Bluetooth module such as a DW350 or DW360, disable the Internal Bluetooth in BIOS; otherwise, it'll take precedence... Your USB ports & devices should look like this under Sierra: As a test, I installed a spare Apple BCM94360CD (Combo Wifi 802.11ac + BT 4.0 card) in the WWAN slot of my D630. As expected, the Bluetooth module of the card is properly detected and listed as an internal USB device:

Yes, you can run El Capitan and/or Sierra with CsrActiveConfig set to 3. That's what I use on all my Hacks, E6230 included. Reboot without cache when you 1st call on the revised value and rebuild your cache thereafter.

Can you explain the details of what you did regarding Rehabman's kexts? The process works perfectly for a DW380 (Broadcom BCM20702 chipset) so I don't see why it would be different on a DW1550 which is clearly mentioned in Rehabman's list of tested & supported devices. Please post a zipped SysProfiler saved output.

I don't follow what you do at all, but you're obviously not doing this right. You need to follow the guide step by step and you'll get there, unless you have a duff USB key of course...

The reboot is probably due to the unsupported CPU model. I guess you'd have to try and fake a different CPU id. I don't think this specific Haswell Intel HD graphics GPU is supported either... In other words, don't hold your breath; you may have to upgrade your CPU to a supported Core "i" model to be able to install and run OS X.

The Intel GMA4500 GPU fitted to the E6x00 family is unsupported, so you can forget about hackintoshing them indeed. For the E6500 with nVidia GPU, make sure to use MacBookPro7,1 profile. You can look at my D630 nVidia Sierra guide for pointers. You may reuse many items from the pack I posted (obviously DSDT + some kexts will need to be replaced). Look up existing E6x00 nVidia pack to retrieve the hardware specific kexts (like LAN driver for instance).

The latest OS X version you can run on a D620 with GMA950 is Lion 10.7.5. From Mountain Lion 10.8, Apple dropped support for the obsolete Intel GMA GPU. For Lion, we advocate you build a USB installer using myHack utility. If you have no access to a Mac or an existing Hack, try using a virtual machine. You can use the Lion bootpack available here. Please note that the D620 is fitted with Intel ICH7-M I/O controlller so disk mode is limited to IDE, not AHCI and SATA-II (3Gb/s) speed. Your SSD will therefore only appear like a traditional HDD and you'll have no support for Trim. Still, it'll run faster than a good old HDD.

Re-nable IDA.
