  1. Happy New Year OSX-Latitude folks. Jake and Bronx thanks for helping. 

     

    I cannot get pass the End Randomseed. Tried several versions of OSXAPTIOFixDRv but no luck. The current EFI is attached with origin folder. I have checked the RAM as well and two chips are installed in 1 and 2 slots. 

     

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. THANKS

    Nvidia card removed.

  2. Hello OSX Family,

     

    As a Christmas present, I am helping my nephew to install Mojave on his Dell Optiplex 9010 AIO. I started off with the Jake's guide of Optiplex 9020. The specs are as follows:

     

    1. Model - Optiplex 9010 AIO 23 inch

    2. Processor - Intel i7-3770s

    3. Graphics: Intel HD 4000

    4. 500 GB HDD

    5. BIOS: A23 

     

    SO far - I was able to boot using the attached Working_EFI and install went very well. I can boot natively using this Working_EFI, however, if I make any change to the working EFI to obtain matched SMBIOS and inject correct graphic card I get a kernel panic. I tried several options but no success so far. Can someone please review the attached both EFIs and let me know what am I doing incorrectly. Permission ran after every change or reboot.

     

    Thank you.

  3. Jake, the 7040_Mojave folder has config file and kexts only! 

    Also - I used F4 to dump the files in the origin folder and then used only the DSDT in the patch folder.

    Now I can boot but then no video either HDMI or Display Port. Also this unit has Nvidia Card, which I disabled in the config!

    Please elaborate on this "You might have to install with FakeID for IntelGFX 0x12345678". 

    Also should update the BIOS to its current version?

    Thank for your help.

  4. Hell OSX Community, 

     

    I just grabbed a OptiPlex 7040 of the CL (specks below) and read threads about 3040 but could not make a determination. If someone could guide me to the right direction that will be greatly appreciated. 

     

    OptiPlex 7040 SFF

    Processor: Skylake i7-6700

    Display card: Intel® HD Graphics 530

    RAM: 8Gb (4x4)

    Disk: SSD 256GB

    Bios-version - 1.5.10

     

     

     

     

  5. Jake, I upgraded from 4509 to 4585 version. I can boot using my USB disk which has 4200 version. I checked the clover options and fix header was enabled. I disabled it and rebooted but stuck at the same stage. 

     

    PS: I put back 4509 EFI and it booted with no issues. But I still like to find out why the boot failed upon clover upgrade.

  6. Thank you Jake and it did help and was able to boot and system is running. Just out of curiosity :

     

    1. Do I still need a SSDT.aml to create and place it in patched folder? Currently I have a DDST and SSDT came with the boot pack.

     

    2. What does following do:

     

    Try dropping TableID:

    CpuPM

    Cpu0Ist

     

     

    Thanks

  7. I successfully updated to 10.13.3 from 10.13.2 and system rebooted. However after running permissions the system stuck on a boot and taking for ever to boot! I tried safe mode, single user mode and booted without kext catch but no luck!

     

    Before updating I did replaced kexts from rehabman and new Liu kext as well. And 10.13.2 was working like a charm after these update. However I did not update any kexts in L\E folder, as I assumed that no update was available yet.

     

    I have attached a picture for your preview! I tried using my usb but could not boot because it may have very old clover!

     

    Thank you for any suggestions.

  8. I was able to apply the SH supplemental update using MAC Update. Just ran the kext catch permissions to solve the sound issue.

     

    HFS+ stayed intact 

    Wireless and bluetooth are working.

     

    Only issue - during the boot session the screen goes black for 10-20 seconds but then come back and boot successfully.

  9. After sleep my trackpad and pointer stick become unresponsive and only a cold boot can fix it. Attaching to an external keypad and mouse shows that trapped still showing in the system preferences but no motion. I am using the VoodooPS2 version 6 provided in the boot pack. (created on February 13, 2017). Trying the most updated vodoodriver of Rehabman results no tracked detection either.

     

    Thank you for your suggestions.

  10. Jake, thanks for the suggestion. I checked and I am running the latest version of ACPIbattery manager. after sleep the battery status stuck on a last known number and while I plug power adapter would not change it in the menu. Additionally, I also see few ACPI errors during the boot.

     

    Here are few things I found while reading notes at rehabman's guide. 

     

    "If you have a CPU that is Haswell or later, skip the part that follows for creating SSDT.aml from ssdtPRgen.sh. I repeat... DO NOT generate SSDT.aml for these later CPUs. If you do, you may break the ACPI setup due to duplicate symbols. The power management injections are provided in the model specific SSDT (later in ACPI configuration)".

     

    (I am still figuring this out above procedure, not sure how to implement this)

     

    Slow boot with APFS: This also leads to battery status being removed from the menu bar, and SysPrefs->Trackpad not showing the prefpane. With certain SSDs, TRIM patch, plus APFS leads to this problem. Solution: Disable the TRIM patch in config.plist or install on HFS+J instead of APFS.

    (No slow boot, Need to test this one as well)

    Update: Disabling the TRIM COMMAND, extensively studied by Rehab-man as well, display correct battery status. The problem is related with APHS+TRIM. It has been suggested to install it as HFS+ format. 

    Question: How can I perform a fresh install in the HFS+ format? Thanks

     

    Sleep issue was FIXED by installing it as HFS+ format. APFS+TRIM was the culprit. Thank you for all your help.
