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. -

[Solved] Dell Precision 5510 error could not allocate runtime area
Hervé replied to rakibulmuhajir's topic in The Archive
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.

E7450: Framebuffer patching on Intel HD5500 + external DOCK
Hervé replied to haagen's topic in The Archive
I suggest you follow the same principles detailed in my Haswell Azul framebuffer patching which is available in the Graphics forum section. Identify the output ports and patch them with the applicable connector-type. -
Dell DW5811e / Sierra Wireless EM7455 WWAN Not Working
Hervé replied to Nancy10's topic in Modems/WWAN modules
Then your profile creation is incorrect/inappropriate for the module. You need to pick something that matches the same chipset or thereabout. -
Dell DW5811e / Sierra Wireless EM7455 WWAN Not Working
Hervé replied to Nancy10's topic in Modems/WWAN modules
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... -
Result is normal, that's not the way you were meant to do it. Clover config file does not use standard text in its Find/Replace field but Base64 strings. Use Clover Configurator app to apply Jake Lo's on-the-fly patch in plain ASCII text.

Wondering if the screen corruption experienced here could not be due to the Capri FB memory size that caused a fairly similar issue on our Ivy Bridge/HD4000 Latitude E6x30 laptops when BIOS exceeded a given version... Fix was to adjust FB mem. size from 256MB to 8MB:

[Solved] Inspiron 3558: help installing Mojave
Hervé replied to Watermelon Jello's topic in The Archive
You 1st set your BIOS to UEFI mode, then re-install Clover for UEFI boot mode. -
As described many times by @Bronxteck, you may try and play with FingerZ value in the kext's Info.plist file.

Clover does not "create the installer" per sé... There are guides that describe/explain how to create a USB installer from Windows. Look it up. I've no link at hand at the moment.

@JmW, your question re: wifi is as good as going to the Doctor and say no more than "it hurts" without any additional details... Please consult our FAQ section, follow the provided guidance and exert good general common sense.

Did you try and disable hibernation? See our FAQ section where it's described.

No bootable device, hmm... Make sure your boot disk is physically properly set in its place and has not moved. This error message is typical of situations where SATA connector is not fully fitted in the slot. As for the random wake, did you check your Energy Saver settings? You may have Power Nap or Wake on network access options activated...

Generate P States and Generate C States are settings applicable to old C2D/C2Q/1st gen Core platforms only. They do not apply to Sandy Bridge platforms and beyond, including Broadwell platforms such as yours. In fact, if you call on these, you may find your CPU switching only between that low frequency you reported and the highest nominal frequency; all without Turbo boost and intermediate frequencies, which means CPU inefficiency and hammered performance. In order to enjoy proper CPU power management on your Broadwell Latitude laptops: either you apply/select/set/tick PluginType option in Clover ACPI section to which you may add Plugin Type=1. or you drop SSDT tables with ids CpuPm + Cpu0Ist in Clover ACPI section and generate your CPU-specific power management SSDT with Pike R Alpha's good old SSDT generator script; you'll then place the generated SSDT table in E/C/ACPI/patched folder. E7250/E7450 are fitted with low-power CPUs such as i5-5300U/i7-5600U and you should expect idle frequencies of 800MHz. If Intel datasheets do indeed indicate LFM frequencies as low as 500 or 600MHz, I'm pretty sure these are reserved for the programmable TDP-down/7.5W reduced power mode. In fact, if you download and install Pike R Alpha's complete tool and consult the data files for the Broadwell CPUs, you'll see this: # Broadwell mobile processor data. # gMobileBroadwellCPUList=( # # 5th generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processors (socket FCBGA1164) # i7-5950HQ,47,500,2900,3800,4,8 i7-5850HQ,47,500,2700,3600,4,8 i7-5750HQ,47,500,2500,3400,4,8 i7-5700HQ,47,500,2700,3500,4,8 # # 5th generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processors (socket FCBGA1168) # i7-5650U,15,800,2200,3100,2,4 i7-5600U,15,800,2600,3200,2,4 i7-5557U,28,800,3100,3400,2,4 i7-5550U,15,800,2000,3000,2,4 i7-5500U,15,800,2400,3000,2,4 # # 5th generation Intel® Core™ i5 Processors (socket FCBGA1168) # i5-5350U,15,800,1800,2900,4,4 i5-5300U,15,800,2300,2900,2,4 i5-5287U,28,800,2900,2900,2,4 i5-5257U,28,800,2700,3100,2,4 i5-5250U,15,800,1600,2700,2,4 i5-5200U,15,800,2200,2700,2,4 # # 5th generation Intel® Core™ i5 Processors (socket FCBGA1364) # i5-5350H,47,800,3100,3500,2,4 # # 5th generation Intel® Core™ i3 Processors (socket FCBGA1168) # i3-5157U,28,500,2500,2500,2,4 i3-5020U,15,500,2200,2200,2,4 i3-5015U,15,500,2100,2100,2,4 i3-5010U,15,500,2100,2100,2,4 i3-5005U,15,500,2000,2000,2,4 which lists CPU model, TDP, LFM, HFM, max Turbo, cores and threads. LFM frequencies of those CPUs fitted to our Latitude E7250/E7450 are therefore set at 800MHz, even though you may not encounter them much due to sustained minimum load under macOS. In the same respect, HD5500 iGPU of those processors typically clocks between 300 and 900/950Mhz. With regards to iGPU throttling, bear in mind that your Hackintoshes are not fitted with the same CPUs and iGPUs as those real Macs we fake them to be. For instance former are fitted with HD5500 GT2 iGPUs when latter are fitted with HD6000/Iris 6100 GT3 iGPUs. Not entirely the same thing...

Only the USBPorts kext, CPU-specific SSDT and patched DSDT can really be re-generated. Also think of checking your BIOS settings against those that are recommended:
-
It's been stated for years: don't use/re-use the DSDT of a different computer model. Even though E6220 and E6320 are evidently very close, I cannot vouch that the patched DSDT of the E6220 applies to the E6320. I strongly recommend you seek the E6320 patched DSDT instead.
-
Are the specs of your E6320 identical to those stated in my guide? Same CPU for instance? If it's different, you cannot re-use the provided CPU power management SSDT but generate your own as explicitly stated. You'll also need to regenerate the USBPorts kext with Hackintool app since your E6320 probably has a different USB ports arrangement.
