superkwn Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 @Tluck, Thanks for the wonderful guide and files. I just successfully installed Sierra on my new T460s. Just one question, your T460 has touch screen, right? Is the touch working? Mine does not work. Any fix you may suggest? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 @superkwn - cool and welcome to our small but growing forum! yeah the cursor moves on my screen, but there isn't any driver support to deal with it as a mouse - to do clicks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkwn Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 @Tluck, Ok, that is fine. Less fingerprints on the screen then. The remaining work now is to setup iMessage, FaceTime, etc. and install windows 10. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 gpt is your friend for adding windows partition(s) - will not mess with PMBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkwn Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I noticed in your config file, you picked Macbokpro11,1, can I choose 13,2? Not sure if it will impact iMessage activation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 at the time, MBP11,1 seem to work best given newness of Skylake. I just stayed on that model. However, I tested MBP11, 12, 13 models ... and they all worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asxetos Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 FYI only, Just updated to Sierra 10.12.3, no issues except the ethernet that appeared "inactive" after reboot. It was easily fixed by deleting all network interfaces and reassigning them. Thanks for this tluck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superkwn Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 @Tluck, do you have your iMessage and FaceTime activated? I tried to activate both following the iDiot's Guide to iMessage, but always get to call apple support. Also interestingly, when I use MacBookPro13,2, the memory becomes 4G instead of 8G I have. I probably need to go back to 11,1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these values from a real mac or did you generate them the usual way? did you call apple support or it just worked? +1 on the same question. iMessage and Facetime will drive me nuts...

syscl Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 @superbboy - did you click inject and set fakeID? i don't mess with that setting in BIOS - that is not about DVMT. @barrrrt - it seems the audio on HDMI works with or without the patch. i like to patch the right side port to indicate HDMI vs DP. i really dont know what difference this makes though. when i look at the various frame buffer settings https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/os-x-10-11-4-build-15e65-and-skylake-graphics-support i see: 0204 0a00 0004 0000 8701 0000 0204 0a00 0004 0000 c701 0000 not sure what 87 vs c7 does. maybe something to try. the combo 0a00 0004 - is for DP (0004) so i changed to 0204 1200 0008 - HDMI (0008) - which has been working for me quite well. vs 0204 0900 0008 - which is a common setting for HDMI frame buffers historically. @tluck, 8700 and c701 is OK, just leave it as is. For example: 0204 0a00 0004 0000 8701 0000 should be changed to 0204 0a00 0008 0000 8701 0000 to enable HDMI @port 0204. syscl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 @syscl - Happy new year and thanks for the response! yup. I keep my buffer times as original - these were for a test trying to see if these could help barrrrt on his dock issue. Interesting to note HDMI audio works the same for either value 0004 or 0008 - meaning it works without or without changing this value. So I change just the right side port to 0008 since it is an HDMI port. for the mini DP, I leave as 0004. @Asxetos and @superkwn - iMessage i didn't call apple - it just worked. i just set ROM and MLB in RtVariables section of config.plist and notice on 10.12.4 PB1 - IntelBacklight.kext doesn't work. The LCD Panel stays at max brightness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azerty076 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hello, Today I finally put Sierra on it, and it works well. But with Clover Configurator I tried to change SMBIOS with Macbook 13,3, and then I had kernel panic. Do you know why? And what to do in that case? I did it because of the ssdtPRGen.sh script. I have this error : Error: board-id [Mac-7DF21CB3ED6977E5] not supported by Skylake – check SMBIOS data / use the -c option Thanks Finally MacbookPro 13,1 is working and not 13,3 for information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 well good to now. I ignored any warnings from ssdtPRgen and have stayed on MPB11,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbboy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 @tluck, I found a strange thing about the BT. When I connected my notebook with the power, the BT could wake up very well. But when I plugged off the power, the BT would not available after waked up. It happened several times And sometimes the BT would always be unavailable , I had to following the steps to get the BT back: - delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - rebuild the kext cache (sudo touch /System/Library/Extension && sudo kextcache -u /) - shutdown the notebook - reboot the notebook @superbboy the sleeper watcher script essentially shuts down WiFi and Ethernet before sleep. This seemed to help fix some issues mostly about Ethernet. This doesn't address your issues with BT. These combo chips are interesting and tricky: the WiFi part of the chip is a PCI device - EXP3, where as the BT part of the chip is a USB device - XHC port HS07 . Anyway yeah i rewrote the BroadcomPatchRam kext because i was seeing similar issues - that on wake, BT was gone or actually stuck in a zombie state. there seems to be a race to wake up all the USB devices upon wake. And when the BT device is awake on the USB device, the broadcom kext checks its firmware so see if it needs to be reloaded (these chips have their firmware dynamically loaded). So anyway if the device is not fully awake or ready on the USB bus, the kext would choke on loading firmware. So my "fix" was to slow this firmware process down - sleep for a few hundred milliseconds. the net i see a problem with BT about 1 in 100 wakes now. Perhaps the kext needs to be further "tuned" (add more sleep time) for your device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azerty076 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Does anybody have the led blanking when going to sleep? And FaceTime and iMessage is not working for me, even with informations in RT Variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 are you using the DSDT in the zip? this has some fixes for LED on sleep/wake. what is your hibernate mode? blanking i think you mean blinking on/off fast. i have seen that before. but on my system LED is on solid (no blinking) until sleep. then it slowly goes off and slowly comes on.

superkwn Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 LED blinking works on my T460s during sleep. I followed exactly the instructions (DSDT patching) in the zip. @tluck, I have some interesting findings on battery and speedsteps. Not sure if both apply to your machine. For battery, it seems that each charging will be counted twice (2 cycles) on the two internal batteries. In windows, discharging and recharging on the involved battery will be counted once (one cycle). So if the discharging hasn't reach the other battery, only the discharged battery cumulates one cycle count. For speedstep, if I use your config file in the zip, the speedster can go down to x5. But if I use magic wand tool to define Macbookpro11,1, the speedster can only go down to x13. this will affect the battery life certainly. Have you noticed any of the two? @tluck, also if I exchange the screen to WQHD, any additional work needed and if the hiDPI will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 i have 2 batteries and have not looked at the charge count. so you are saying that each battery gets a count of 2 cycles instead of just 1 per battery? how does macOS know there are 2 batteries - i am not an expert in this area. my speedstep goes to down to x5 495mhz. what is the magic wand tool? i am not sure about res beyond 1920x1080?

superkwn Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I also installed windows 10 on my T460s dual boot. in Windows 10, lenovo settings will tell you battery health including cycle count. several days ago, I logged in windows and looked at the cycle count and both of the two are 3. Then I logged out and logged into macOS and use the laptop under battery till about 34% and recharged it over night. Next day, when I looked into windows again, both cycle count became 5. Should be 4 for both. magic wand tool is the one MBIOS section of the clover that defines machine type if you use clover configurator. i have 2 batteries and have not looked at the charge count. so you are saying that each battery gets a count of 2 cycles instead of just 1 per battery? how does macOS know there are 2 batteries - i am not an expert in this area. my speedstep goes to down to x5 495mhz. what is the magic wand tool? i am not sure about res beyond 1920x1080?
