As I said, you can use the fully tuned pack and not need EDP. If you do an EDP build that installs a 64bit FakeSMC kext, don't reboot before you've actually replaced it by a 32bit or 32/64bit version and re-run myFix (quick).
-
There's an announcement at the very top of the forum about ongoing changes that will last until at least September. If the SL and Lion boot packs or EDP tuning provide/install 64bit versions of FakeSMC, please report it in EDP bug/issues section. Had you looked in there, you would have found this D620 SL-related thread where I've provided a fully tuned pack (no subsequent need for EDP). There are also 32/64bit versions of FakeSMC posted here. They can be used for 32bit SL and naturally also apply to D620 with C2D running Lion or MLPF'ed ML (graphics only supported in 32bit mode). The D620 can only run OS X in 32bit mode due to the Intel GMA950 graphics, so it does not matter whether is has 32bit Yonah CoreDuo CPU or 64bit Merom Core2Duo CPU.

Once you've reached the end of your installation (whether USB installer or actual HDD/SSD installation), proceed with myHack->Install Extra (using your own) and point to my /Extra. In other words, you replace whatever you may have used before by that pack. Don't use Kext Wizard, just place your kexts in /Extra/Extensions (or remove unecessary kexts from there), then run myFix (quick). Yes, DSDTEditor from IM or directly from the Olarilla links. All M4300 have the nVidia Quadro FX 360M, there's no exception... 'been said before in previous M4300 threads.
-
Ok, remember what I wrote in the post: the DSDT was patched for DW1395/DW1397. If you have a different wifi card, remove the entire Method (_DSM ...) from Device (ARPT) section of the DSDT and recompile.
-
Meantime, you may use the complete pack posted here and that does not require post-installation EDP tuning.
-
Using NVRAM Chameleon module? You may also try and add a credit card number to your AppStore account; 'known to solve the issue on occasions (was my own personal case...).
-
Mmm, I'll borrow my friend's D830 nVidia 135M low res to try this out and verify things by myself.

Did you try any version of VoodooHDA at all? Versions 2.7.x or v2.8.x ? My Dell Vostro 200 has built-in ALC888 (ICH9 controller with PCI id 8086:293e) and I get perfect audio with the VoodooHDA v2.8.1 that's was installed initially. Never changed it since. I would tend to believe the IM thread that mentions ALC1200 and would attempt the DSDT edit provided. If you don't know how to do it, just post your extracted raw DSDT (extract it with tools such as DSDTEditor or Chameleon Wizard, having booted without any DSDT file) and we'll look at it. Whilst you're at it, also post a saved output of IORegistryExplorer (again having booted without any DSDT file).

@Neocisco: here's what you need (Chameleon boot plist + iMac9.1 SMBIOS plist): CW_plists.zip
-
Yes, you just replace the /Extra of your USB installer with this one, then run myFix (quick). You can use this pack with Mavericks.
-
Ok, that boot pack is wrong! Try the attached and let me know. Extra_D830_NV140M.zip All you need to add is some audio kext (you can use VoodooHDA + HDADisabler kexts) and any eventual wifi kexts that may be required.
-
Doesn't an lspci -nn Terminal command show you the built-in audio device?
-
For the boot pack, just run myHack->Install Extra and point to the downloaded pack from this site. That should suffice for you to boot Mavericks.
-
Ok, this seems to be an nVidia model, right? Are you sure you're using a myHack installer with our D830 nVidia boot pack?
-
For the vanilla method, use myHack v3.3.1 + downloaded Mavericks installation application. Once you've made your installer, you simply replace the vanilla kernel (file called mach_kernel at root of media, USB installer or HDD) by one of the AMD kernels provided by Bronya (keep a backup of the original vanilla kernel - rename it vanilla_kernel for instance). You'll find them at InsanelyMac for download and I have also copied them to my Dell Precision 670 guide. Bronya published a new 10.9.4 AMD kernel yesterday and, whilst of works very well, it retains a few small bugs affecting graphics.
-
Use the boot pack provided by this site. It has all the necessary minimum set of files to get your basic installation going (in particular the patched DSDT file). Once you have that done, we'll help you finalise the installation with EDP or a direct complete /Extra pack if EDP proves problematic.
-
See post #11. Niresh is a distro. If you wish support for that, they have their own web site. We only support vanilla installation methods. Try myHack with an AMD kernel;
-
Hi, please tell us the method you used to install Mavericks and the files you've used as a boot pack if applicable.

ELAN, FocalTech and Synaptics (Smart Touchpad) Driver
Hervé replied to EMlyDinEsH's topic in Smart Touchpad
Or a quick look in driver's details in Windows to obtain PCI ids could be a good way to identify vendor and product model. -
1600x900 is not an issue for OS X. That's what I have on a Latitude E6420 (and many others on other laptops) and it works perfectly. Did you try the DualLink Chameleon boot option as suggested? It's usually required for resolution beyond 1366x768.
-
I would have thought those ports to work OOB, a bit like Firewire ports...

Complete Guide to Install mavericks on my dell 3521 i3?
Hervé replied to light's topic in The Archive
Yes, it's been hidden by its author, pending completion. -
That old entry-level Quadro FX1400 card is unsupported under any recent OS X versions. It's based on NV41 GPU, i.e. same chip as good old GeForce 6 Series (like GeForce 6800 card). Never got mine to work in Snow Leopard; got neither QE, nor CI… Still, that was before I found out about my default PCI root set to 4. So you could try to patch the kexts mentioned in the following post and ensure you boot with the correct PCI root value, but don't have much hope... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2061-dell-precision-470-670-workstation-snow-leopardlionmountain-lionmavericks/&do=findComment&comment=15851 Whilst the card could possibly work in SL (http://www.infinitemac.com/discussion/4385/list-of-nvidia-gpus-supported-in-snow-leopard-10-6-1/p1), I think Lion dropped support and you can definitely forget about it beyond (ML, Mav, etc.) since these OS X versions no longer include NV40 support. As such, with Mavericks, you will have to replace it with a known supported (nVidia) card and there are plenty!
-
Of course you NEVER remove any kexts previously placed in /E/E when you add a new one! If you do, myFix will remove them all from /S/L/E/myHack.kext and you'll kill your Hackintosh! You need to understand what you do, that's why I keep telling you to read up documentation.
-
I don't understand what you're talking about, sorry.
