should i upload my HDD's EFI folder here ? eeeeee, how?

hello. i decided to upgrade my system and I used Jake Lo's guide: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-el-capitan-clover-guide/&do=findComment&comment=54632

allmost everything works fine when using USB for boot, but when I try to boot from disk, i loose USB-ports. So what is wrong? 

this is first time using Clover so it's quite confusing how to set up the machine, installer and where to install and copy things. f.e. any help is appreciated

stupid questions will follow, maybe some other newbie as me have same questions... so here we go:

 

1 How do i have to set up the settings etc to get everything work from HDD?
 

for Latitude E6420 Nvs4200M i used Legacy options - (in the guite: For Exx20 (SandyBridge models), use Legacy - GUID Scheme. Not UEFI)

do I have to make USB installer using Legacy or UEFI Boot Sequence in BIOS? or it does not make a difference?

 

When installing Clover (version Clover_v2.3k_r3320) into the USB installer I used only:

• Install Clover in the ESP
• Bootloader/Install boot0af in MBR
• CloverEFI/CloverEFI 64-bits SATA
• Preference panel

 

is it right? or i need to install RC scripts also?

weird, when booting it shows newer version of Clover than 3320. ???

 

2. I Used Generic EFI folder (EFI.zip) + E6x20 NVS.zip (downloaded from the same page). 

It took a while figuring out where to put file in E6x20 NVS.zip. At last i checked original EFI folder before replacing EFI folder for new one - it helped to figure out things a little bit.

 

Still questions: 

where do i have to put the kexts in folder Other. Leave them as they are (Other folder) or make a 10.11 folder in the USB stick’s EFI partition?

 

/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Others ?

 

or 

 

/Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11 ?

 

3. When installing El Capitan into the harddrive same questions raised:

 ido i have to install sing Legacy or UEFI Boot Sequence in BIOS? or it does not make a difference?

 

installing Clover into the hard drive i used only:

Install Clover in the ESP

Bootloader/Install boot0af in MBR

CloverEFI/CloverEFI 64-bits SATA

Preference panel

 

is it right? or i need to install RC scripts option also?

 

4. When generating ssdt.aml with ssdtPRGen.sh

where do i have copy the ssdt.dsl ?

 

5. In    /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched  is dsdt.aml file. how do i generate a new one? or it’s not a must do thing?

6. Where do i have to put config.plist? I modified the one which is on EFI partition (in CLOVER folder). 

 

7. when  copying kexts to hard drive:

where do i have to put the kexts in folder Other. Leave them as they are (Other folder) or make a 10.11 folder in the USB stick’s EFI partition?

 

P.S. it seems that one of the generators needs internet connection to work properly!

8. When using  EFI Mounter app do i have to unmount the volumes before proceeding?

 

anyway, thank you Jake Lo and others for the great installer guides and tips!

 

any help is appreciated.

if your using voodoohda for audio there are fixes for low audio in it's info.plist

 hi. can you link to the method and kext(s) (whatever need) step by step  please?

so i have to uninstall appleHDA and install Voodoo insteed? so this is the AppleHDA.kext in System/Library/Extensions ?

hmm, i have a problem with sound.... it seems that it's too quite compared to how this machine works with Win10. any ideas how to solve the low level?

can anybody help me to get AzureWave AW-NB037H WIFI/bluetooth working. i used Rehabman's kext from (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Atheros-3k-Firmware) and installed it with kextwizard but it does not work and even as i understand does not show up. same time it works in Windows10 and it worked with my old hackintosh....

And if i want to upgrade to 10.10.5 is there any problems? 
i will try to install El Capitan to another drive today, any good tutorials?

thank u for the Wern's DSDT, it got audio working. Brightness still not working... but at  moment it's not a issue - i found free soft from AppStore - Brightness Slider what allows to control brightness. And also the BrightnessFix works... 
Now i have to get internal WIFI card working... any ideas?

hi 
 
thank u for your answer.
after using this DSDT (first version?) there's no longer audio and brightness controls are gone.
i copied it into ./Extra folder, should i do something else with it?

hi!

i installed Yosemite 10.10.1 with this Jake Lo's method .
after installing the kexts and using  this DSTD (E6420/E6520 Optimus Disabled = DSDT-NVS.aml ; uncheck Optimus in BIOS) screen goes black. i can only get picture with nv_disable=1. 
Optimus is disabled. I need help.
