Optiplex 7020 Catalina weird intermittent freezes and beachballs
Hervé replied to Semaj's topic in The Archive
Everything looks Ok to me, especially on the HD4400 graphics front. You' have full graphics acceleration and I see your display connected over HDMI. How's CPU power management? Check it with HWMonitor app (if you have FakeSMC PlugIns installed) or Intel's Power Gadget. -
That's the fresh version 10.15.4. See the recommendations posted in our News article of March 24th.

[Solved] Stuck on installing Catalina on my Latitude E7490
Hervé replied to sO_omuch's topic in The Archive
They're Clover boot options that you enter at the command line when you go in Options menu at Clover main screen. Or add them to your Clover config using Clover Configurator app. /L/E, /S/L/E, E/C/k/O are short for OS X/macOS and Clover folders. Since you don't know about them yet, I'm going to suggest you engage in some serious reading and studying in order to learn about OS X/macOS and Hackintoshing. I don't have the time, nor the desire to do so and certainly not in this thread. So... homework is of the essence, especially in the current worldwide context! -
[Solved] Stuck on installing Catalina on my Latitude E7490
Hervé replied to sO_omuch's topic in The Archive
If you kept the DSDT I provided, you may have to remove it. If you try to install 10.15.4, please use the boot parameters listed in the very recent News article about Catalina 10.15.4. -

[Solved] Dell Precision 5510 error could not allocate runtime area
Hervé replied to rakibulmuhajir's topic in The Archive
Is this a vanilla installation or a distro of some sort ??? -
@trognaz, you're totally mistaken! If Apple have introduced warnings about legacy/deprecated kexts in 10.15.4, kext signature policy has not changed since El Capitan! Add-on kexts require SIP to be disabled and new policy about legacy kexts does not affect the vast majority (if not all) of the add-on kexts we use on Hackintosh platforms. I've updated all 4 x Hacks to 10.15.4 and all retain add-on kexts in /L/E as usual: Core2Duo Latitude D630 Core2Duo Vostro200 Ivy Bridge Latitude E6230 Kaby Lake R Latitude 7490 Your Hack obviously needed adjustments (disabling SIP, kext updates or cache rebuild, who knows?) but do not make general, erroneous and misleading statements out of it!

On such older systems, you can actually retain Clover r5103 and it'll work good. I found that r5107 is only required for more recent systems such as Kaby Lake and later. My old Core2Duo Vostro200 desktop runs 10.15.4 Ok with Clover r5093 and my Ivy Bridge E6230 runs 10.15.4 with Clover r5103. I proceeded with straight updates without changing anything, other than reverting to old fashioned AICPUPM on the E6230 since the XCPM Clover patch needs revisting for 10.15.4. I updated Clover to r5107 on my Kaby Lake R 7490 alongside refreshing Lilu to v1.4.2 and WEG to v1.3.7. So far, I've identified that 2 1 x patches requires updating for Catalina 10.15.4: XCPM patch (for Ivy Bridge platforms as an alternative to AICPUPM) AppleRTC patch Edit: revised AppleRTC patch for Catalina was a red herring. The CMOS reset problem I encountered was related to boot.efi, not AppleRTC, as explained in the dedicated thread about CMOS reset with 10.15.4.

E7470 - Following guide with a few extra changes on hardware
Hervé replied to PlutoDelic's topic in The Archive
Catalina works off most NVME M.2 SSDs. I tested the Toshiba RC100 2242 model with macOS if that's of interest to you; see our SSD benchmark thread for details. All you really have to ensure is that the WWAN slot supports NVME SSDs and that the slot is bootable. That's essential or you'll be kinda screwed. Not all models support both like. Eg: E7x50 models -> NVME SSDs supported in the WWAN slot but not bootable! -
You've no battery management kext, so no battery monitoring. Look up ACPIBatteryManager kext; you 'll find it through a Google search or in 99% of the packs deposited all over this form across the years. No apparent CPU power management in your Clover config, so probably no Sleep as a consequence. You would need to pick up a suitable SMBIOS to your platform (there was none in your Clover config) and select/activate Generate P States and Generate C States ACPI options too. Use Clover Configurator app to modify your config file. Brightness control does not usually work for nVidia dGPU of Hackintosh laptops, assuming this is what you run with instead of the 1st gen Intel HD iGPU. You'll have to clarify this.

Dell Latitude E7270: Not Booting Any Os Like High Serra, Catlina, Mohave
Hervé replied to DEEN ALI's topic in The Archive
@DEEN ALI, please stop quoting messages you directly reply to. It's unnecessary and not the right way to post replies. Use the Reply box at bottom of thread pages... -
WARNING Catalina 10.15.4 update is out but not to be installed on unsupported legacy platforms with Tesla graphics such as the D630 until the new patch is fully sorted out. The method described above works up to 10.15.3 but does not with 10.15.4 due to AMFI-related issues and will result in systematic KP or hanging at boot time, depending on library validation being enabled or not.
-
Indeed, it's only just come out so some add-on kexts may require consequent update... Then again, 10.15.4 could give a few headaches to those who update...

[Solved] Dell Precision 5510 error could not allocate runtime area
Hervé replied to rakibulmuhajir's topic in The Archive
Quadro M1000M is Maxwell, so no, you can't use that and you need to disable your dGPU through SSDT/DSDT patching in order to save battery time. Such Maxwell dGPU would not be theoretically supported beyond High Sierra and, even then, that's not certain (Optimus is not supported on Hackintosh) and it would require the nVidia Web Driver anyway. -
See our FAQ section on the matter.

How can I get AppStore, FaceTime, iCloud, Messages to work?
Hervé posted a topic in FAQs & Tutorials
AppStore, FaceTime, iCloud, Messages all require specific items to be configured or the apps just won't run. 1) LAN/Ethernet interface A LAN/Ethernet interface be present and configured as 1st interface en0. This is mandatory for all of the above apps. Status can be assessed by checking the MAC address associated with each listed interface returned by Terminal command: ifcconfig For instance: admin@d630n ~ % ifconfig [...] [...] [...] en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 --> *** en0 *** options=403<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,CHANNEL_IO> ether 00:2X:XX:XX:XX:19 --> *** This is the MAC address *** nd6 options=201<PERFORMNUD,DAD> media: autoselect (<unknown type>) status: inactive en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 --> *** en1 *** options=400<CHANNEL_IO> ether 00:2X:XX:XX:XX:70 --> *** This is the MAC address *** inet6 fe80::1cb6:fa47:fd8a:c1eb%en1 prefixlen 64 secured scopeid 0xc inet 192.168.1.117 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 nd6 options=201<PERFORMNUD,DAD> media: autoselect status: active [...] [...] [...] The LAN/Ethernet interface MAC address can be verified in the Hardware tab of the Ethernet interface listed in the Network PrefPane: If your LAN/Ethernet interface is unsupported or if your computer does not have one (it happens), use Rehabman's NullEthernet kext to fake one: RehabMan-NullEthernet-2016-1220.zip If your LAN/Ethernet interface is not 1st interface en0: remove all interfaces from your Network PrefPane delete NetworkInterfaces.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder reboot The LAN/Ethernet interface should then return as 1st interface en0; if no interface is present in your Network PrefPane after reboot, add them manually, starting with Ethernet. 2) Serial number, MLB, ROM These pieces of information are mandatory for Messages and without them, the app just won't work. These values can be set in Clover config through Clover Configurator app. Open your Clover config in CC and proceed as follows: SMBIOS tab: * If not done already (but it should), click on the selection list button and pick the Mac model that best fits your Hackintosh computer hardware * Click on each Generate New button a few random times to generate a new Serial Number and a new SmUUID number System Parameters tab: * Click on Generate New button a few random times to generate a new Custom UUID number Rt Variables tab: * Make sure the from SMBIOS case in the top left corner is selected/checked * Click on the down arrow of the ROM field, select UseMacAddr0 then click on Generate New button a few random times. This will generate a new ROM value * In the black section in the middle, select the MLB value displayed and copy/paste it in the MLB field above Save your Clover config and reboot. Your Hackintosh is now set to use AppStore, FaceTime, iCloud and Messages. -

You must have that Atheros fixup kext somewhere... Or a reference to the fixup in your Clover config... -
Revised tuning after renewed testing on D630n under Mojave and Catalina. The following values bring better throttling and lower GPU temperatures: <key>Threshold_High</key> <array> <integer>37</integer> <integer>45</integer> <integer>54</integer> <integer>80</integer> </array> All of the above updated accordingly.

Then your profile creation is incorrect/inappropriate for the module. You need to pick something that matches the same chipset or thereabout. -

You'll probably need to insert a SIM card for the card to appear in Network PrefPane. Without a SIM card, the WWAN is unusable...
