You can't just disable the TouchPad when a USB mouse is plugged in; that's not feasible. You either fully disable the TouchPad or not at all.

14e4:43ba is expected to work OOB since it's natively supported by AirPortBrcmNIC PlugIn of IO80211Family kext. It would appear the kext did load so seems safe to rule out anything on that side. Check that there's nothing in your Clover config or patched DSDT or kext set that could come to clash with the vanilla driver or alter it. I would also suggest you check if the WLAN slot is not disabled in BIOS.

DW1830 would not fit and there's no 3rd antenna wire in the 7490 that reaches the WLAN slot. DW1820A is up to you once you've read our many threads/topics related to that model and the associated risks. Obvious recommendation is to go for the safety of the DW1560. Wireless cards are available at the usual well-known (on-line) places selling this sort of equipment; we do not usually provide more information than that; it really is people's own responsibility to source their own hardware accessories, not the forum's, this in order to avoid any potential upset and/or dispute should purchases subsequently turn problematic. I'm sure you'll understand.

Then you may try and experiment with darkwake boot arg.

Did you disable hibernation after upgrading to Catalina? If you did not, please refer to our FAQ section.

Nothing to worry about those ACPI errors; you may just need some additional tuning re: DSDT/ACPI patching

Please consult our FAQ section on the matter.

You may contact Chris1111 at InsanelyMac.

Your patched DSDT did include the appropriate Darwin injection that enables USB3.0 capability. However, you have an additional USB-related SSDT and a few USB-related patches on your Clover config. I suggest you proceed as follows: 1) remove the USB-related SSDT + USB-related Clover patches. 2) assuming you've removed all those unnecessary kexts you had, reboot with only USBInjectAll kext for USB ports. 3) upon reboot, run Hackintool app and generate the SSDT-UAIC table + USBPorts kext. 4) you may then reboot with either USBPorts kext on its own or USBInjectAll + the generated SSDT-UAIC. All your USB ports should be operational and with USB3 capability. Check your SysInfo->USB section to that effect.

From a pure cache rebuilding point of view, it is correct. From a kext point of view, well, I question the relevance of some of those kexts you've chosen to install (VoodooTSCSync, NullCPUPowerManagement, etc.). You're clearly not using the pack Jake Lo gave you...

-> Topic moved to its own thread. Please don't hijack/pollute existing threads with unrelated matters and/or unrelated platforms. It's been mentioned a few times before that, as per previous Clover OS X/macOS installations, you can update directly through your Software Update PrefPane; just make sure to apply the Embedded Controller ACPI device renaming to your Clover config or patched DSDT, as per our published requirements for Catalina or the info available on p1 of the thread you previously posted in.

Warning can be ignored, it's of no consequence to rebuilding the cache.

Moving this thread from Installation Guides section (where it's got nothing to do) to OS X/macOS section. Please make every effort to post in the appropriate section(s) in the future... I don't think anyone will understand what tool you're talking about but rest assured that there never was any need for tools on the matter, whether in Catalina or any previous Mac OS X/OS X/macOS version, especially as those tools clearly appear to keep people in the dark with regards to what's behind and how things work. You may consult our FAQ section where you'll find details of the Terminal commands you may use to repair permissions and rebuild you cache directly.

Bronxteck recently reminded us of links Apple publish in relation to creating bootable installers for OS X and macOS from El Capitan 10.11, so here's a link to the related main page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 Very useful as a replacement to the old AppStore method that allowed registered users to re-download an OS X/macOS installation package if they had already done so in the past. 8GB USB keys/flash disks required up to Catalina, 16GB from Big Sur. Whilst the information is obviously meant for Apple Mac computers, it's nevertheless 100% relevant to the 1st phase of creating USB installers for Hackintosh computers, the 2nd phase being the necessary installation of the bootloader (Chameleon/Enoch, Clover or otherwise).

Unbrick? What are you talking about?

Wrong pack, you need to use the Optimus A23 one.

I can only assume you mean Jake Lo's guide. Which bootpack are we talking about here because there are several and 2 x of them are Optimus ones, i.e. those you'd need depending on BIOS version.

Did you install the SSDT that disables the Nvidia GPU?

How did you solve your LAN issue? Re: wireless, look up our FAQ section.

I've no idea to be honest; the wifi indicator is usually unsupported on Hackintosh and turned off.

Your patched DSDT injects layout 2, so that's incorrect and clearly clashes with your other audio settings: Device (HDEF) { Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000) // _ADR: Address [...] Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // _DSM: Device-Specific Method { [...] Return (Package (0x0C) { [...] "layout-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, [...] }) } } Remove that from your HDEF _DSM, clear the item counter of the Return Package line (or reduce it from 12 to 10), recompile the DSDT and you will be good to go. Re: DW1510, did you consult our wireless cards inventory ? Because the answer is there...

Audio works with Lilu + AppleALC + injection of layout 12. The stuff you posted shaw that you do, so there could be an issue with your patched ACPI tables (not provided). Wireless depends entirely on the card you use. Refer to our FAQ section and wireless cards inventories.

Yes, that's a well-known boot glitch we all encounter. The old IOGraphicsFamily patch used to take care of that but WEG now does (and I can confirm this on my E6230). If it's not the case for you which would surprise me, you could always try to re-instate the old patch but you'd have to check if Catalina would use the same one as Mojave for instance. Your kext set is very messy and contains numerous kexts that are irrelevant, not required and contradictory. Those will impact the usability and operation of your E6530 Hackintosh. I'm talking about kexts related to irrelevant chipsets (Series 200, x99, nForce, Via), CPU power management (NullCPUPM), audio (patched AppleHDA vs. AppleALC), etc. I suggest you look into (and use) the Clover packs available in our various recent E6x30 guides to address this as well as patched ACPI tables so that you have a fully and properly working Hack (with USB3 functionality).

Updated to BIOS A20 and all runs Ok (with A19 patched DSDT).

Just updated BIOS to A20 and all is working perfectly with Cover patches and patched A19 DSDT. This being said try and adjust your Clover config with Clover configurator app to compare: ACPI config remove PluginType Add Drop SSDT CpuPm Add Drop SSDT Cpu0Ist
