I'm really sorry, I thought the article mentioned the default SMC value and how/where to get different SMC values clearly enough... Looking at the SMC values mentioned in the article, I also thought the correspondance was obvious enough: 6bytes, eh? 01 | 30 | 0F | 00 | 00 | 03 -> 1.30 f 3 01 | 33 | 0F | 00 | 00 | 08 -> 1.33 f 8 Now try and establish what could it be for 1.68f98 or 1.69f4 (hint hint). Remember: no matter what SMBIOS profile you choose or make, if you do not modify the default SMC value of FakeSMC.kext (which, I repeat, is 1.30f3), well that's what you'll always see in your System Profile...
-
It would please me that you read the article properly! it clearly explains how to edit the FakeSMC plist it clearly explains what to do to determine the Mac model/SMBIOS/SMC that best matches your own Hack illustrations are provided How much more could one need??? And, where did you get that SMC 1.30f3 corresponds to the MPB9,2 ?

EDP installs a battery manager kext in /E/E and it appears you need that on your laptop...
-
Yes, I guess you would. Pre-release 10.8.4 versions were known to break wifi but I don't have the details. We need to look into that. I was fortunate enough to purchase and install an Atheros 9281-based 802.11n Apple Mac card in my D630n just a couple of weeks ago and that works OOB, regardless of the version. Consequently, I retained full wifi services after updating to 10.8.4.
-
No idea, no; but, again, I would not even run ML without graphics acceleration so, to me, you're wasting your time here.
-
No, just follow the OSXL installation procedure with myHack + retail OS X installer + boot pack, then EDP system build. It really is very straight forward on those laptops.
-
10.8.4 pre-release versions were known to break Wifi, but until you say more about your own specs, there's little we can do or say. If you're not intending to use MLPF on that D630, don't even think of running ML; there's really no point at all. However, since you're able to install an earlier ML release properly, I recommend that you make a new SL or Lion USB installer from that ML installation. This will get rid of all the trouble you encountered with your virtual machine.

D830 ML 10.8.3 sound reverts back to internal speakers after sleep
Hervé replied to ktazn2k's topic in The Archive
1st remove the ACPIPlatform kext from S/L/E and re-run myFix (full). -
You've installed ML with MLPF hack on a D630 with X3100 graphics. Did you read the McRumors thread at all? The MLPF hack does not support upgrading ML in the standard way, at least not without re-running MLPF! The procedure listed in the guides covered ML 10.8.0 to 10.8.3. You need to go back to the updated MLPF web site for the procedure that supports 10.8.4. You'll probably have to start all over again.
-
I would suggest you redo an EDP system build after your update to 10.8.4. With the reintroduction of AppleACPIPlatorm v1.7 in /S/L/E folder, you're likely to experience kext cache issues. The EDP system rebuild should take care of this. If not, try to manually remove the offending kext from /S/L/E and re-run myFix (full).
-
I can't remember if I coded MBP5,1 in that FakeSMC version, so check it! Disable PStateMenu to verify native SpeedStep operation. There's also a good chance that you can run without NullCPUPowerManagement (or maybe you do already), in which case, ensure your Chameleon boot plist has P & C States checked. Are you using a D830 or D630 nVidia DSDT?
-
Can you please provide the specs and OS X version you're running (including the SMBIOS id used)? One possible way to improve this is to try and apply SMC fine-tuning: http://www.osxlatitude.com/tuning-performance-with-fakesmc-smbios-plist/

Updated my D630 nVidia 135M successfully using Combo Update 10.8.4. On 1st reboot, I had no keyboard and noticed the CPU reported as a 1.2GHz C2D only. All was Ok after subsequent 2nd reboot. The update installs AppleACPIPlatform kext v1.7 in S/L/E. Like Bronxteck, I strongly recommend to delete that kext to only retain EDP's v1.3.5 in /E/E to avoid cache issues and rebuild permissions & caches with myFix. Nothing else to report. Looks pretty safe to update. EDIT: Oups! 'just realised I had updated my FakeSMC kext to v5.1.67 and made a mistake when modifying the SMC keys. That would explain the strange CPU speed report I was getting on occasion!

D830 ML 10.8.3 sound reverts back to internal speakers after sleep
Hervé replied to ktazn2k's topic in The Archive
The latest VoodooHDA does work on the D830, yes. Re: USB device disconnected after sleep, that is perfectly normal. When the computer goes to sleep, the USB ports are no longer powered; as such, all connected device get disconnected. The only way to somehow circumvent this is to enable "USB Wake" in the BIOS so that power is retained to USB ports when the computer is connected to the mains. That is however not effective when running on battery. -
I recommend the combination of 2 tools: Ukelele Logitech keyboard layouts for full keyboard mappings (just copy the appropriate Logitech layouts from within the app package to /Library/Keyboard layouts then select these new layouts to the list of input sources where they're automatically added) DoubleCommand for special keys assignation such as Windows key as Command key or PC-Style Home/End keys recognition
-
So, the good old "failed installation" remains... I'll probably try to update my D630n tonight.
-
Hi, No mention of that system here before as far as I know. Looking at your specs, I'd say Snow Leopard is your best candidate target.
-
No progress on the GMA 4500MHD front; I'm afraid that remains unsupported...
-
Hi, thanks for the info, I'll add it to the list. Are you able to verify operation with SL and Lion at all?
-
Oops, something went wrong: there now appears to be an incorrect LAN kext in the bootpack. You need to use AppleIntelE1000 or Intel82566MM. That'll get the Intel 82562V-2 10/100Mb built-in Ethernet (PCI id: 0x10c0 8086) operational. Intel82566MM.kext.zip Also, if you're not using an ATI Radeon Pro X1300 graphics card, remove the ATI1300Controller + EVOenabler kexts from the bootpack.
-
Assuming you're using the built-in Ethernet, the kext is normally provided in the bootpack. Let me check that out.
-
You may have to disable your Intel wireless in BIOS. We often found D series unable to boot the installer properly with Intel cards kept active.
-
You need to do a bit of research on the forum about creating the installer via Virtual Machines. As I said before, it's often problematic and clearly where your issues are coming from.
-
Not that it'll help you greatly, but there's a chance your battery is on the decline. The initial 4-cell battery on my Dell D430 would do just the same, whereas its 6-cell replacement is Ok and recharges all the way to 100%.
-
And you're creating that installer from what? An existing Mac, Hack or a Virtual Machine? I'd say your installer is dodgy...
