yes, using the bootlick   E7450_HD5500_Only_A17_HS.zip

 

once it boots, it has scrambled screen, I put it to sleep, and wake, then it's ok.

 

 

 

update:

- installed 10.13.2 combo update,  copied .dmg to applications, run

- thats with clover r4359

 

note:

- USB port on right side in the back, not working

- working + App Store, iMessage , FaceTime, Photo Booth, SD card

- screen still scrambled at boot 

update:

- removed ACL293 kext

- copied dsdt.aml

 

- sound works

- sound over HDMI works, note no volume control

- Mini DisplayPort does not work

 

other notes:

did generate new ssdt.aml

sudo ./ssdtprgen.sh -m xxx -b macbookpro12,1 

changed cpu type in clover 0x906

copied ssdt.aml to clover 

left all the other ssdt-*.aml in place

reused my old serial , so my apps login works

generated a new smuuid , in shell % uuidgen

 

 

looks like base frequency is 1300mhz , probably could be 800 or 600 MHz 

my graphics is still scrambled after boot, a sleep / wake makes it usable

 

next ,  install all my apps

prep for 10.13.2 combo update  ,  something about apfs.efi                                                          as always thanks to the forum admins

still can't find it.

relevant guide for me

 sorry, just can't find it.

 

appreciate your support, thanks you !

time to donate via (PayPal) 

can you post a link , where the updated bootpack files are ?

 

thanks Jake

thanks Jake,

 

did  

--> Kexts in /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other/LE should be moved or copied to /Library/Extensions. Then repair permission and rebuild cache.

 

need to figure out IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext  ,and scaled screen  after boot

 

-> looks like max freq is 2.2GHZ 

 does not look it ever gets to 2.7ghz turbo

 

post your E7450 Geekbench 4

and check with intel power gadget 

 

it be nice if the displayPort would work again , since the HDMI is not going to do 4k

 

attached files

config.plist.zip

update

- sound - working 

  -> copied AppleHDA_ALC293.kext /Library/Extensions 

 -> chmod, chown +  sudo kextcache -I /

-> note bootpack does not have AppleHDA_ALC293.kext. in bootpack kext/LE directory

 - instructions -> Audio with patched AppleHDA -> little vague for a noob

 

interesting, after all 293 patch,  the sound on monitor over HDMI disappears 

 

- laptop screen , still scrambled , till sleep/wake,  looks like LiLu , IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext thing is not working from clover 

- Mini DisplayPort not working 

- have not tried docking station

thanks Jake! 

 

update notes:

- Wifi                - Works now

- Bluetooth      - not working now

- sound            - not working

- DisplayPort   - not working

- laptop display -> works after sleep wake

- copied HS on second partion, and EFI r4359, -> does not see El Capitan partition. 

 

- did try config.plist from bootpack E7450_HD5500_Only_A17_HS.zip --> got KP

​- did try install , vanilla clover r4359  -> got no boot entries

 

next

- I will trim back my current config.plist down to match  the bootpack config.plist 

- ssdt.aml, create new (ssdtprgen.sh) , for macbook12,1 since processor does not match with MacBook Air7,2 from bootpack

 

have no idea ,

- how you guys install from scratch, did not see it in the install guide

- or install vanilla clover , with boot entries

 

% sudo kextcache -I /

hope that does the trick doing the kextcache update and permissions fix

 

 

... sorry old noob at play, thanks

currently couple things not working

- wifi DW1560 

- display scrambled , till sleep, restart

- sound not working

- DisplayPort not working,  HDMI port works

 

notes:

- can I copy my el capitan on second partition to boot, with current r4359 clover ?

that would be a great help

- looks like lilu is not working
