I have just noticed it went to sleep but came back out very quickly (which it didn't before - having used a _PRW fix Jake had posted about) the battery indicator is back with an X, though when I plug in the power adapter it shows the % and even when removing it the % remains and shows on battery again.

 

What is odd is the screen is dimmer on mains power than on battery... opposite to the way it was previously.

You shouldn't lose audio by changing smbios. Perhaps you changed something in the DSDT?

 

Not that I am aware of... think I will start again from the original DSDT and see how it goes...

 

Cheers

-Steve

Jake,

 

Thank you... had missed the running of the script

 

Still no audio though?

 

 

Much appreciated

-Steve

Since switching from MBA5,2 to MBP9,2 the battery indicator states No Battery Available / Power Source : Power Adapter.

 

It sporadically shows the battery and % then back to the battery with a X through.

 

Also no longer have audio?

 

I am guessing I have lost something config wise along the way :-#

 

Cheers

-Steve

Bronxteck,

 

Awesome many thanks, all compiled and working.

 

I created a Clover kext search/replace in clover configurator for MBA5,2 to MBP9,2 - AirPortBrcm4360 kext and seems to be working just fine

 

Moving to MBP9,2 makes things feel snappier - but could just be a placebo affect.

 

Thank you once again all, Herve, Jake and Bronxteck.

Having followed the pairing of section delimiters "{ & }" it looks to me as if I may have one to many } closing at the end of the method which shouldn't be there, as it is defining an end to section which should end further down?

 

 

                          DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                        Return (Local0)
                    }
                } <- As in

 

 

With this error 6126 is gone but replaced by:

 

4065, 6062, Initializer list longer than declared package length

4098, 6084, Object does not exist (DTGP)

Morning and thank you very much Jake & Herve for the suggestions and patch, it gets a whole lot further now... If I switch to 4.0 I get many more errors.

 

Just one error on 5.0A or 5.1 :

 

4755, 6126, syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_SCOPE, expecting $end and premature End-Of-File

 

Line 4755 is:   Scope (\)
 

 

If I remove the method patch it will compile fine with just warnings.

 

I have attached the section for the wifi card with the method patch installed just incase I have missed something.

 

 

Thanks again

RP05_MaciASL.rtf

Herve,

 

Thank you so much, makes much more sense now, pictures speak a thousand words. My card was at the same device location which aided things

 

Now so having made the edits I hit compile and get a lot of compile issues

 

Saved the  editied dsl, and reloaded the original disassembled dsl and get the same. Even loading the .aml gets the same?

 

Version of MaciASL is 1.4 and set ACPI specification to v5.0A

 

thanks again

-Steve

Thank you again Herve,

 

I have decompiled the dsdt.aml and imported the .dsl into MaciASL but don't see where I paste the patch...the guides I see mention downloading a patch from a source repo...

 

The binary editing is no issue as I have been doing this since having a BBC Micro and writing 6502 assembler, yes many many years ago,

 

Am I barking up the wrong tree in thinking it is possible to "just" edit the info.plist in the kext within

 

System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext
Contents/Plugins/AirportBrcm4360.kext
Contents/Info.plist

 

And add a new entry under key IONameMatch for <string> pci14e4,43b1 </string>

 

Thanks

-Steve

Many thanks Herve and Jake,

 

Which is the "better way" or are both equal but different ways of achieving the same?

 

Sorry to ask another daft question but what am I gaining by running as a MBP 9,2?

 

Cheers

-Steve

Herve,

 

Thanks, will have a read but still a little confused as I have never done this before (sorry rather a noob on this) - do I need to perform both DSDT editing (am I changing what is already there for the wireless card or adding something new) and the binary patching of the BCM4360 kext?

 

My 6230 is configured as a MacBookAir5,2 SMBIOS as I have a DW1520 at present.

 

It definitely has Dell DW1550 on the label and is a half mini PCI-E, the 1560 is listed as having a different interface NGFF M.2 - so possibly a variant.

 

Cheers

-Steve

Hope someone can help me...

 

Have updated my WiFi AP and now supports 802.11ac so picked up a Dell DW1550 which another site states as requiring injection, though having read the article several times I cannot quite fathom what exactly I need to do to get the ID injected...via Clover, not sure if I need install or edit a driver or modify a config file?

 

I have checked with DCPIManager and the ID's match what is detailed:

 

Supported Device_IDs (injection required)

1. 43b1 - BCM94352 HMB/AzureWave AW-CE123H, 2.4/5 GHz, ac+abgn, 2 stream, 867 Mbs + BT4LE

 

Very much appreciated.

-Steve

Jake,

 

Thank you - is configured as MBA5,2 so fingers crossed.

 

Booted without cache and logo was steady as a rock, booted normally straight after and remains scrambled...

 

Also seems to have stopped sleeping which I am pretty sure it did do on first building.

 

Cheers

-Steve

Thank you.

 

Have ordered a DW 1520 which from what I can tell is = 4353- BCM943224 HMS - 2.4/5, GHz abgn, 2 stream, 150/300 Mbs

 

Ran the perms and cache again and was successful, though logo is still scrambled - anything I can check to ensure the patch is applied?

 

all the best

-Steve

Jake,

 

Much appreciated:

 

DW1540 = 14E4, 4359, 1028, 0014, Broadcom Corporation, BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n

Jake,

 

Awesome, the updated Alps kext is a massive improvement - will keep my eye on the thread for updates.

 

Installed the DW1540 and isn't recognised so guessing it doesn't work natively and requires a kext?

 

For the perms and cache rebuild get the following error... boot logo remains scrambled.

Jake,

 

Thank you again!

 

I have access to a 1540 wireless card - which I think is a 1550 without BT - so will give it a go. Need to pop to see my folks PC and perfrom centrino WiFi swap

 

The only two issues I currrently have, well one isn't really an issue

 

Corrupt Apple logo on boot? - Have read some posts for mods in Clover for Yosemite but not sure if they still apply?

 

The other is the cursor is somewhat jittery, I saw this thread https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8285-refined-alps-touchpad-driver/

I did try putting the kext in the post in EFI folder replacing the one already there - and OSX failed to load so have switched back; I am probably missing something as it requires some additional knowledge or isn't for EC?

 

cheers again

-Steve

Jake,

 

Many many thanks... installed perfectly

 

Would you have any recommendation on a wifi/bluetooth card ?

 

Being a tart - is there any way to get the backlit keyboard to work?

 

 

 

When OSX boots the Apple logo gets corrupt - is this expected?

 

 

cheers again.

-Steve

EFI partition files.

Thanks again both,

 

Jake this is the file I used:  https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8296-need-a-clover-configplist-for-dell-e6230/

Merged with the generic file from the guide.

 

I mounted the EFI from the USB in Clover Config and asus wasn't enabled under kernel/kext patches - enabled it, saved the plist and still same error.

Jake,

 

Thank you,

 

Have downgraded to A02 (A03 not available) and upto to A11 - Still same issue; reloaded default BIOS settings and set to UEFI, AHCI etc and have also rebuilt the USB El Capitan installer...

 

Verbose dump screenshot attached.

 

Much appreciated.

 

cheers

-Steve

Afternoon All,

 

Have picked up a Dell E6230 i7 3540 (3Ghz Dual core) BIOS A15

 

Following the guide below, with the Generic EFI in post 2 merged with Exx30_Clover found in another post by Jake.

 

Using the EL Capitan USB I built for my 9020, re-installed Clover with the config detailed and replaced the files on the EFI partition with those listed above.

 

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-el-capitan-clover-guide/&do=findComment&comment=54621

 

 

on booting it gets to the Clover boot screen, select install El Capitan, the Apple logo and blank percentage bar  appears - at which point it goes no further and no USB activity.

 

Any ideas please?

 

Much appreciated

-Steve

Jake,

 

Many thanks for the guide - very much appreciated made the upgrade a breeze once it was underway.

 

Is superb, boots so quickly under UEFI and that it will now sleep properly too.

 

Any idea if USB3 will likely work anytime?

 

 

Thanks again

 

-Steve

Jake,

 

Fixed it...

 

Started again from the beginning. In DiskUtil though it shows the USB as being journaled when I selected partition button a message appeared to say I couldn't change partition sizing as Journaling wasn't enabled and to enable it via the File menu.

 

Removed all the partitions and erased, this time Journalling was enabled, as no message on entering partition button.

 

Followed guide, updated the Yosemite install... El Capitan all working now - Many thanks

 

 

One odd thing though the Clover boot screen seems corrupted as the background is a dark blue rather than grey - not sure what would cause this? Was originally grey on the last unsuccessful build attempt. Applied the bootcamp theme in Clover configurator -though no theme shows? the background is grey

 

-Steve

@R-N-D Manager - thank you will have a look. once I get Clover installed and EL Capitan working hoping I won't be booting Windows that often

 

 

Jake,

 

Again thank you = got further...

 

Started from stratch and formated/erased USB using diskutil - now have Clover installed and EFI partition on USB; and EL Capitan copied over.

 

BIOS configured to AHCI, UEFI boot etc.... Boots to clover, when selecting Install El Capitan from Clover, get an Apple logo for a couple of seconds then machine reboots and back to Clover main screen.

 

I started again building the USB boot, restoring the base image, copying files and installing Clover/EFI Bootpack though same boot cycle as above.

 

Anything I can check ?

 

Cheers

-Steve
