snoopers

Thanks Jake, indeed i took the wrong AppleHDA_IDT. I guess I mixed them up somehow. Anyway, sound is working now. Sleep is an issue. Followed your suggestion and got a SSDT.aml. Computer goes to sleep and wakes up again a second later. But thats no showstopper so far. Herve, are extensions from your guide usable with the setup I have right now? VGA output and Bluetooth might be a nice to have.

Did you plug your USB drive into the combined eSATA/USB port? It's the only working port for bootable USB devices on my E6330. I successfully followed Jake's guide mentioned above. I got 10.11.6 running by using the Clover pack for the E6230. However, I ended up with no sound, similar to what I experienced on the previous Mavericks installation (https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2474-dell-latitude-e6330/page-13). But so far I did not have time to investigate deeper here. I also did not test if sleeping is fuctional or not. I got confused about the part with the SSDT.aml. Ist that step mandatory? I run the script but I gut a SSDT.dsl

Deleting the genericusb did not solve the issue. Anyway, I just did a new install of 10.9.4 over the exisiting 10.9.5 installation. My data was kept, combo update did its job as well, system is running again. Thanks for your help again

This was my first idea too. Same result.

Sorry for disturbing the 10.10 discussion, but out of sudden my 10.9.5 installation does not boot anymore. Error message is attached. As it states something about USB I'm not sure if it could be caused by the Wacom driver installation I did a few days ago. But I could boot successful a few times after that. Till today. Any way to jump over this error message to get the system running and probably removing the wacom drivers?

No, I did not. Have no Mini-HDMI cable available.

Awesome! Thank you very much for the work you did and the help you provided. Sound is working well now and iCloud login is possible too. I'm so glad. System profiler doesn't see the SD card reader for whatever reason. But it's not that critical as my Camera uses CF cards and I need a card reader or direct USB connection anyway.

This Chameleon version doesn't change things, unfortunately.

Thank you very much for the Extra-Set! However, still no sound Did a fresh install then, the Extra set already included on the 10.9.4 install stick, updated to 10.9.5 via Combo-Update, installed Extra afterwards again. Same result. No sound, no iCloud. Side note: SD card reader not working too. Sleep not tested yet. Looks like my system does not want to run Mavericks. Is a specific version of Chameleon needed to get it working?

Thanks for the link. Some stuff to read product: Intel® Core i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz

Sorry, total missed that point. It's the 2.59 MHz i5. I'm aware that AppleHDA is needed for native sound. I checked the file but I did not find a point where I could define the hardware ID. For example the Bluetooth driver has many defined devices and I just added my hardware to the file and it works.

I would prefer Mavericks. If you allow me to get some insight in what are the important points in AppleHDA, SSDT and what the nullCPUPowermanagement does, I would try to do it on my own for Yosemite. For the moment I don't like Yosemite and I just would test it on my E6630 before upgrading the iMac. But for know I think I will stuck on Mavericks on both devices. (depending on if I get iCloud running on the E6330) Thanks again for your help.

As intended, I installed Mavericks again but unfortunately I'm facing the same issues. No sound, no iCloud. My Extras are attached below. Interesting point: In between I tried to install Yosemite. It wasn't fully working (safe mode, bootable only with Install stick plugged in) but I was able to log me into iCloud. Strange somehow. 10.8.x let me log in, 10.10.0 did so, 10.9.4 & 10.9.5 do not. Extra.zip

Guys, I really appreciate your help As I'm willing to learn new things I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it, I will do a fresh install later today and see what happens then. I also have an idea about the iCloud issue. On previous installations (10.8.x) I went online via Ethernet at first. This time I installed a WiFi stick immediately after system installation and went online. I found some suggestions in the web about missmatching ID numbers of hardware devices mentioned in the system and used hardware for the internet connection and the way Apple checks things. Not sure if this is true or could be a reason, but worth a try.

Already tried the mentioned AppleHDA. How can I check the codec or the hardware ID? Don't have windows on this machine running and Linux lspci just gave me 8086-1e20 as vendor and device ID for the audio device. What do you mean by DSDT layout? Any idea about the iCloud issue too? Thanks for your help!

Yes, I did and it is still written in there. I also run MyFix afterwards.

It has been a while since my last question. I now have installed 10.9.4 on my E6330 and updated to 10.9.5 via App Store. Luckily a lot things are working, others are not. I tried nearly every AppleHDA.kext for the E6330 I found on this site. Anyway, sound ist still not working. Also camera behaviour seems strange. After startup, camera works, after wakeup, camera does not work. Critical point is the not working iCloud login. I'm aware that iMessage has always been a problem, but I'm not able to log in to the App Store too or even get my iCloud-Mail configured in Apple Mail. I already tried to solve this by adding the hardware ID to Chameleon's boot.plist file.

Thanks again! All USB ports are working now

For whatever reason, the computer is shutting down on its own now. I have done nothing. But I have figured out that the combined eSATA/USB port is the only working USB port. It is not dramatic, but has anyone a suggestion how to get the the other ports running (I think these are USB 3 ports). Would be a nice to have, because the only working port could be blocked by the WiFi stick (if I manage to get it working).

Sorry, sometimes I feel really stupid. I was not aware about the different USB ports of the machine. The combined eSATA/USB part was the solution! I was able to install 10.8.3 and it is working so far. The machine configuration is the same as posted by the thread opener, apart from BIOS A01. I have discovered the same problem on first boot but was able to fix that with installing chameleon by using myHack. From what I see in the system profiler I think it is pretty much the same as the thread opener has described (no Bluetooth, etc.) Anyway, the machine is in a condition I can work with. Sleep is working, shut down seems to have a problem as the computer is not able to shut down on its own. At the end, this computer was easier to install as the D620 I have used before. So I would say thank you to all the people who are spending their time to develop these insane tools and provide their solutions to the public. Great work!

Hi! I have tried to install 10.8.3 on a E6330 according to the way described above. Unfortunately it did not work and already booting the install stick ends with: "Still waiting for root device". Has someone experienced the same and has a hint for me in order to solve the issue? Thanks!

Thank you very much for the quick response! I have applied the settings you suggested and everything works fine now. The only thing I had to choose different is the ApplePS2Controller as the Trackpad did not work with the VoodooPS2Controller. Thanks for your help

I have tried to find something in the search but nothing helped so far... I have installed Snow Leopard on my D620 (1.83GHz, C2D, Intel Graphics and Intel WiFi) (10.6.0 retail DVD). I used the installation guide provided by this site and everything went well until I installed the EDP framework which comes with the DMG-file from this website. After letting the EDP framework do its work in the Terminal, the computer ends up with a kernel panic on every boot. What I did then: Installing the System again, but did not install the EDP framework after OS X installation. I used KextHelper to install AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext which I got from a D620 kext.package somewhere in the net. This worked and I know have the battery symbol in the task bar. Then I have installed all the kext-files provided by the D620 bootpack from this website (not sure if this made any sense as these are already part of the MyHack-Install-Disk). Then I installed the 10.6.8 combo update. Everything is fine so far. But what do I have to do to get the Sound working? Thanks for your help.
