    E5470: unexpected power off issue

    in E5xxx

    Posted

    Sometimes, you also have to re-calibrate the battery: go to BIOS settings, let it fully charge, then let it completely discharge until laptop turns off. You may find you need to repeat this a couple of times.

    Recently had to do it on my E7270 as it would power off unexpectedly when battery still showed 40% to 50% charge. 'been running Ok after battery re-calibration.

    Afaik, no. Continuity features are fairly limited with Intel cards. Please refer to the ITLWM documentation.

    https://openintelwireless.github.io

     

    On Hackintosh, full Continuity in Sonoma requires a Broadcom card fully supported up to Ventura (natively or not) + OCLP patching, native support for Wifi/Bluetooth being now limited to Apple proprietary Broadcom SOCs as published in our Sonoma release article + beta threads.

    Dell Inspiron 1520: graphics acceleration problems under Tiger 10.4

    in The Archive

    Posted

    Ok, I understand better now... 'was not aware of those very specific MacBookPro updates.

    I don't believe trying to add the PCI id 10de:0407 to whatever kext is required at all. Your GeForce 8600M GT carries the same id as the nVidia GPU of the MacBookPro3,1. If you look into the Info.plist file of the NV50Hal kext, you should notice the presence of support for 0x040010de with mask 0xfff0ffff. That covers your GPU.

     

    I guess you probably need to inject the nVidia properties of your nVidia card into Tiger, either through your bootloader or through a DSDT patch or through an injector kext (like NVInject) if you still manage to find one after all those years. Those would basically inject those necessary properties like NVDA,Parent, ports description, etc. You'll find plenty of examples on Hackintosh forums or here in the Dortania documentation.

    Dell Inspiron 1520: graphics acceleration problems under Tiger 10.4

    Hmm. Afaik, Tiger lacks the required drivers for nVidia Tesla G8x/G9x. Support was introduced in Leopard 10.5 in which you'll find the necessary NV50 & associated GeForce kexts/drivers. So, no support for the GeForce 8600M of that Inspiron 1520 in 10.4.11.

    https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/legacy-gpus/legacy-nvidia.html#geforce-8-8xxx-series

     

    But I'm probably in the wrong given that, according to what I read, MBP3,1 with GeForce 8600M did indeed ship with Tiger 10.4.9.

     

    nVidia drivers in Tiger 10.4.11 (as seen in Pacifist with 10.4.11 combo update (Intel) dmg):

    nVidia drivers in Leopard 10.5.8  (as seen in Pacifist with 10.5.8 combo update dmg):

    Leopard_GeForce_drivers.jpg   Leopard_NV_drivers.jpg

     

    If you lookup in SysProfiler/SysInfo->Software->Extensions of Leopard 10.5.8 (or later), you'll see the nVidia drivers that get loaded. You can then compare with what loads in Tiger.

     

    Given the years that have passed since Tiger, you're very unlikely to obtain support for this ancien release and, at OSXL, we only ever supported systems running Snow Leopard or later. This being said, you may find this MBP3,1 IOReg extract useful in troubleshooting your machine; but it was taken in Leopard 10.5.8, not Tiger...

    Support for Intel Wifi cards in Sonoma

    in Wireless & Bluetooth

    Posted

    No change with regards to Intel wireless cards: ITLWM kexts/app remain required (and always will). You'll just have to update to the new versions that support Sonoma. Afaik, it's still work in progress and last official version posted on the ITLWM repo goes back to May. 2023, i.e. before 1st Sonoma beta was even published.

     

    Check the issues page where you'll find beta versions for Sonoma:

    macOS Sonoma not natively supporting platforms older than Amber Lake/Coffee Lake/UHD6x0, it cannot be natively installed and cannot natively run on the Skylake/HD520 Latitude E7270 as used to be the case for earlier versions of the OS up to Monterey. This can however be easily achieved by implementing the following settings which allow keeping a full vanilla installation without calling on add-on patches that would install older kexts, frameworks or other necessary files:

    1. use of Kaby Lake framebuffer 0x59160000 (0x591B0000 may also be used but requires further graphics connectors patching)
    2. fake Kaby Lake HD620 iGPU id 0x5916
    3. use Coffee Lake platform SMBIOS MacBookPro15,2
    4. use Whatevergreen v1.6.6/v1.6.7 minimum

     

     

    1) 14.x USB installer creation

    • Using a USB key of 16GB minimum, create a Sonoma USB installer through the following Terminal command: 
    sudo <path>/Install\ macOS\ Sonoma.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/<USB key>

    where:

    • <path> = location of Sonoma installation package (eg: /Applications if freshly downloaded)
    • <USB key> = name of formatted USB volume (eg: USB_16GB)

     

    The process will take several minutes. Once completed:

    • install Clover bootloader on the USB installer with the following customised settings:
      • Clover for UEFI booting only
      • Install Clover in the ESP
      • UEFI Drivers
        • Recommended drivers
          • FSInject
          • SMCHelper
        • Human Interface Devices (optional)
          • Ps2MouseDxe
          • UsbMouseDxe
        • FileSystem Drivers
          • ApfsDriverLoader
        • Memory fix drivers
          • OpenRuntime
        • Additional Drivers (optional)
          • NvmExpressDxe
          • PartitionDxe
      • Themes (optional)
      • BootLoaderChooser (optional)
      • CloverConfigPlistValidator (optional)
      • Install Clover Preference Pane (optional)

     

    • you may use Clover version r5157 or later as attached below (version r5148 minimum but no support for legacy wireless cards before r5157)
    • once Clover is installed, launch Clover Configurator app and mount the freshly created EFI partition of the USB installer (attached version supports BlockSkywalk kext patch)
    • add the (unzipped) HFSPlus driver attached below to the EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI folder
    • open this EFI partition and transfer/copy the files & folders from the Latitude E7270 Sonoma Clover pack below to the EFI/CLOVER folder

     

     

    2) 14.x installation

    • boot the Sonoma USB installer
    • at the Clover main menu, select the "Install macOS Sonoma" partition (but don't press [ENTER])
    • press [SPACE], select -v verbose option in the menu, then choose to boot with the selected options
    • proceed with installation, creating & formatting the target Sonoma installation through Disk Utility as/if required
    • on 1st reboot, boot off the USB installer and select the freshly created "macOS install from <target Sonoma partition>"
    • repeat this until this partition is no longer offered and only the target Sonoma partition is left to boot
    • Reboot the target Sonoma partition via your USB installer

     

    3) Post-installation tuning

    • Once the target Sonoma partition has booted, complete the 1st boot configuration tuning
    • Once at the desktop, install Clover bootloader on the Sonoma partition/disk with the customised settings listed above
    • Once Clover is installed, launch Clover Configurator app and mount the freshly created EFI partition of the Sonoma partition/disk
    • Open this EFI partition and transfer the files & folders from the above Latitude E7270 Sonoma Clover pack to the EFI/Clover folder
    • You may then reboot and verify that Sonoma boots off your disk through Clover

     

    ⚠️ For wifi & Bluetooth, you may use any compatible add-on USB dongle. If you opt for a legacy BCM5350, BCM4360 or BCM43602 wireless card, you'll need to apply OCLP root patches and ensure you boot with Clover r5157 or later (or with OpenCore of course) in order to bypass vanilla IOSkywalkFamily kext and inject replacement IOSkywalkFamily+ IO80211FamilyLegacy kexts. The Clover config attached to the revised bootpack available above already contains the enabled BlockSkywalk kext patch to that effect and the replacement kexts to inject are provided in the kexts folder. Upon launching the OCLP patcher, you should be immediately asked to apply the relevant wireless root patches. See this thread for full details of the process.

     

    Edit: 17 Jan 2024

    • Replaced older Clover version r5153 with version r5157 that supports BlockSkywalk kext patch (required to support legacy wireless cards officially dropped in Sonoma)
    • Revised bootpack with:
      • modified SSDT-GPRW patched ACPI table to fix intermittent loss of Bluetooth on wake.
      • modified Clover config to enable BlockSkywalk kext patch and add -amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 boot arg
      • added replacement IOSkywalkFamily + older IO80211FamilyLegacy kexts to kexts/Other folder for injection (required to support legacy wireless cards officially dropped in Sonoma)

     

    Edit: 10 Mar 2024

    • Revised bootpack #3 with new versions for wireless kexts required for Sonoma 14.4.

     

    Edit: 6 Apr 2024

    • Revised bootpack #4 with cleanup of SSDT tables.

    macOS Sonoma is out

    in News

    Posted

    Released Sep 26th, 2023 as announced.

    Version 14.0, build 23A344 (same as RC2 published Sep 21st).

     

    macOS_Sonoma_Continuity_Camera.jpg

     

    macOS_Sonoma_Widgets.jpg

     

    macOS_Sonoma_Supported_Models.jpg

     

    Sonoma drops official support for Kaby Lake platforms that remained supported in Ventura, Apple raising minimal requirements to Amber Lake and Coffee Lake platforms (with the exception of iMacPro1,1 as in Ventura). However, support for Kaby Lake graphics remain provided with all KBL kexts still present, this in order to ensure support for Amber Lake MacBookAir8,1. By extension, this means that graphics support for Skylake iGPUs can also be retained using those same KBL settings as used in Ventura. For other iGPUs, patches are available through OCLP tool to regain graphics acceleration.

     

    Officially supported Intel platforms are now limited to :

    • iMac19,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake)

    • iMacPro1,1 (Skylake Xeon)

    • MacBookAir8,1 (8th gen. Amber Lake)

    • MacBookPro15,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake)

    • Macmini8,1 (8th gen Coffee Lake)

    • MacPro7,1 (Cacade Lake)

     

    With Sonoma, Apple also dropped official support for what they call "legacy" Broadcom cards that remained supported up to Ventura. These include cards based on Broadcom BCM4350, BCM4360 or BCM43602 chipsets. If Bluetooth remains natively supported on such legacy cards, native Wifi support is now limited to those Apple proprietary Broadcom SOCs that have been fitted to the above Mac models. Support for "legacy" Broadcom cards can however be recovered with specific patching using OpenCore bootloader, kexts blocking and OCLP patches.

     

    Officially supported Broadcom SOCs include:

    • BCM4355 (802.11ac): pci14e4,43dc (iMacPro1,1 + MacBookAir8,x)
    • BCM4364 (802.11ac): pci14e4,4464 (Mac mini8,1 + MacBookPro15,x + MacBookPro16,x + iMac19,x + iMac20,x + MacPro7,1)
    • BCM4377b (802.11ac): pci14e4,4488 (MacBookAir9,1)
    • BCM4378 (802.11ax): Apple Silicon Mac models
    • BCM4387 (802.11ax): Apple Silicon Mac models
    • BCM4388 (802.11ax): Apple Silicon Mac models

     

    NB: macOS Big Sur is now officially unsupported.

    [Solved] Dell Precision 7530: HDMI Port issue

    in Precision x000 Series

    Posted

    I had a quick look at your config file, this being all that you posted. I am quite surprised by the amount of SSDT tables you inject, especially those labelled "xxx7080MT" but that's probably nothing todo with loss of HDMI output.

     

    Looking at the graphics properties you inject, i.e.:

    Injected_iGPU_properties.jpg

    I can't help wondering why you'd inject properties to patch connector con1 (the usually physical port for HDMI) but disable such patching (framebuffer-con1-enable set to 0). Also, you appear to patch the flags of all connectors. To what purpose?

     

    As a reminder, default properties of CFL framebuffer 0x3EA50009 are (C.f. Whatevergreen user manual) : 

    ID: 3EA50009, STOLEN: 57 MB, FBMEM: 0 bytes, VRAM: 1536 MB, Flags: 0x00830B0A
TOTAL STOLEN: 58 MB, TOTAL CURSOR: 1 MB (1572864 bytes), MAX STOLEN: 172 MB, MAX OVERALL: 173 MB (181940224 bytes)
Model name: Intel HD Graphics CFL CRB
Camellia: CamelliaV3 (3), Freq: 0 Hz, FreqMax: 0 Hz
Mobile: 1, PipeCount: 3, PortCount: 3, FBMemoryCount: 3
[0] busId: 0x00, pipe: 8, type: 0x00000002, flags: 0x00000098 - ConnectorLVDS
[1] busId: 0x05, pipe: 9, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x000001C7 - ConnectorDP
[2] busId: 0x04, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x000001C7 - ConnectorDP
00000800 02000000 98000000
01050900 00040000 C7010000
02040A00 00040000 C7010000

     

    If changing the connectors' flags is required than you would obviously need to enable such patching, failing what, the default settings are applied.
