No idea, I guess you'll have to dig deeper on Google for VBIOS extraction... Try Donovan6000's blog.

It's a Terminal command....

Some of your kexts are not cached, you may want to fix that...

Sharing cache contents would be futile. It's dynamically built according to the kexts you have on your own system. One does not copy the cache from one computer to another.

To create your USB installer, I suggest you try the manual method described in guides such as this.

For EDP update, post your: Clover settings (config.plist, Clover installation settings) Enoch settings (kernel/boot/SMBIOS plist files) DSDT table Add-on kexts used

Personally, I don't believe the media slot could be an issue. I have a 2.5" SSHD disc for Windows in the regular SATA slot of my E6440 and an mSATA disc in the combo mini-PCIe/USB/mSATA slot for OS X. I switch from one to the other without any issue whatsoever and it does not matter which one is 1st in the boot list. Your cache issue is due to something else, maybe some kext you inject rather than cache or something along the line. Some BIOS option maybe? The difference on my installation is that I use Enoch and my BIOS is set to legacy mode.

GUID/GPT is always recommended.

I don't know what was changed to the kext.

Oh, this one... We've already covered it. You seem to have the enable/disable option available in the BT Finder bar's icon, so I'm afraid I've got nothing new to add.

Can you post a screenshot of your SysProfiler Bluetooth and USB->Bluetooth info?

Please look here for answers to your keyboard section. I believe all has already been covered and answered in the past.

There exist several DSDT patches for computer shutdown: some for laptops, some for desktops. I guess you'll have to try a few before you catch the correct one. Or maybe it's one of the patches you applied if you went back to your own patched DSDT... For keyboard remapping or keys swap-out, you can either use the basic but functional built-in facility of OS X (Hackintosh forum are no alternative to OS X user manual or "xxx for dummies" guides). You can also Search the forum on this as it's been covered for many years with details of existing tools (eg: Chameleon modules, Ukelele, DoubleCommand, etc.). I'm sure you'll quickly find the proper forum sub-section for that.

Lookup RampageDev's guides on his blog.

You do not need the patched AICPUPM kext on a C2D system. The patched kext is only to avoid the CPU power management issue (Kernel Panic) related to BIOS-locked MSR register on Sandy/Ivy Bridge systems. It'll not change anything for your apparent Shutdown/Restart issue for which you may have to implement a DSDT patch. As stated before, all you need for proper/native CPU power management is: the correctly tuned FakeSMC kext (which you now have) the proper SMBIOS profile (which you now have) C States + P States generation enabled in bootloader config (which you should have enabled by now) no NullCPUPM (get rid of it if still in use)

Black screen issues gets solved by using the above SMBIOS.

I guess you meant the CPU-specific generated SSDT, not the DSDT, because the latter would not vary according to CPU.

These error messages indicate incorrect permissions... Did you check your PM?

Guys, if the Clover method appears to be so troublesome, why don't you switch to Enoch with BIOS in legacy mode? When I see the ton of recent posts on getting Clover to work in UEFI mode in these laptops, I can't understand why people stick to a method they clearly don't fully master.

I've updated the D620/D630 pack thread with the ML 10.8(.5) pack. Tested and verified with a USB2.0 myHack v3.3.1 installer all the way through, so you can use it in full confidence. If you use a USB3.0 key and get USB-related error messages followed by "Still waiting for root device", just unplug your USB3.0 installer and replug it; the installation will then continue. When you create your USB installer, proceed as follows with myHack v3.3.1: 1) create ML10.8 installer 2) install myhack utilities 3) install Extra (my own, pointing to downloaded ML10.8.5 pack) 4) remove problematic extensions 5) install Chameleon

USB issues under El Capitan are well-known and the fixes well-documented. You'll find the necessary information through a Google search or a search on the forum.

Remove those kexts added to /S/L/E and copy them to /Library/Extensions. Then repair permissions and rebuild your cache with following commands: sudo chmod -Rf 755 /Volumes/<USB installer name>/S*/L*/E* sudo chmod -Rf 755 /Volumes/<USB installer name>/L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /Volumes/<USB installer name>/S*/L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /Volumes/<USB installer name>/L*/E* sudo touch -f /Volumes/<USB installer name>/S*/L*/E* sudo touch -f /Volumes/<USB installer name>/L*/E* sudo /Volumes/<USB installer name>/usr/sbin/kextcache -Boot -U /Volumes/<USB installer name> -K /Volumes/<USB installer name>/S*/L*/Kernels/kernel This assumes you've copied the appropriate Yosemite kernel file to /S/L/K.
