ltooz_audis Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I just got a Dell Inspiron 7352 Broadwell i7-5500u HD5500 and made it into a perfect MacBook Air7,2 with everything working. I installed Yosemite, El Capitan and macOS Sierra. Here is how I did it. For those who have no mac to create an 8GB installer, watch the videos. 1. To boot the installer use ig-platform-id 16160006, when everything is done boot with 16260006 for full QE/CI. 2. Use Rehabman config.plist file and edit some. 3. Make sure to use all the newest and greatest kexts from Rehabman for perfect running system, especially with macOS Sierra. 4.Patch ALC255 using AppleALC.kext will get HDMI and all audio ports detection perfectly. 5. For more information on this laptop. Choose the MacBook Air 7,2 with SMBIOS MBA71 will run faster with macOS Sierra then SMBIOS MBA72. -El Capitan on Dell Inspiron 7352 Broadwell i7-5500u -Create Clover boot partition using BootDiskUtility. -Extract HFS from macOS Sierra using 7zip command line. -Create macOS Sierra USB Installer with Clover 3974 -Install macOS Sierra and El Capitan on external usb drive before restore it to the internal hard drive. -Post macOS Sierra Installation. -Patch AppleHDA on Realtek ALC255. -Patch DSDT & SSDT The best patches to get this laptop to sleep/wake/audio/HDMI are (we don't need to patch all): * Null Ethernet - set a real Mac Address - use the one for the original wifi that will be replaced. * Rename _DSM to _XDSM. * Audio Layout id = 13 = 0x0D. * Pnlf_Haswell_Broadwell. * Fix WAK Arg0 V2. * Fix IRQ. * Fix SMBUS. * Fix USB3_PRW 0x6D. * Rename B0D3 to HDAU both DSDT and SSDT. * Patch _Q1D and _Q1C for backlight keyboard. -Install El Capitan 10.11.6 to Internal Hard Drive and Clover UEFI. -Install Fuse to write to NTFS Windows Partition. -Replace DW1560 Dual band Wifi and Bluetooth 4.0 BCM94352Z.
