herbalb Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hello everyone. Yesterday I updated to 10.12.4 and now I cannot activate the Nvidia Driver anymore. It always reverts back to default OS X driver. I updated Clover to the latest version and also updated the WebDriver. I've attached my plist config - would be so great if someone could point me to the right direction as I really have no idea what it could be... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbalb Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 MaLd0n, many thanks for taking care of my problem - I really appreciate this. I ran the app, attached you will find the file generated as well as the content of my EFI partition. The actual Bios is 3007 (have not checked for a while), according to ASUS the latest is 3401 - should I update and run the file again? Again, many thanks for looking into this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Check files herbalb.zip -Replace config.plist -Put EmuVariableUefi-64.efi in Clover/drivers64UEFI -Put DSDT in Clover/Acpi/Patched -Run ssdtPRGen.command, duplicate, save, compile --> SSDT.aml - Put SSDT.aml in Clover/Acpi/Patched(rename ur SSDT USB to SSDT-1.aml) -Replace VBOXhfs-64 https://github.com/STLVNUB/CloverGrower/blob/master/Files/HFSPlus/x64/HFSPlus.efi -Reboot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalb Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Many thanks. I ran the ssdtPRGen.command but got a warning and an error: " Warning: 'cpu-type' may be set improperly (0x0705 instead of 0x0905) - Clover users should read https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/CPU#cpu_type Error: board-id not supported by Skylake – check SMBIOS data / use the -target option " Is this OK? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 u need use iMac17,1, 14,2 not a skylake but save and compile SSDT.aml, in config.plist i put patch to avoid black screen and correct smbios if patch dont work, boot with nv_disable=1 and run AGDPFix http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/424-agdpfix/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalb Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Okay, so I ran the script, opened the generated ssdt with MaciASL, clicked on compile and saved it. Since I've done this for the first time I hope I've done this right? I attached the generated and the compiled files. Oh and replacing VBOXhfs-64 with HFSPlus.efi does that mean I have to rename the downloaded file HFSPlus.efi to VBOXhfs-64 and replace the old one or just delete VBOXhfs-64 and put HFSPlus.efi into that folder? (EDIT: That was a stupid question - since it's the driver folder deleting Vboxhsf and putting HFSPlus into that folder should be fine) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergarth Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hi, From what I've seen, it's happened to more people. The latest Nvidia drivers, since the 12.4 Final and now also in 12.5 Beta has a strange behavior. Whenever I turn on the computer, OSX drivers are always selected by default and not NV. Then I change to the NV, restart and it is ok. But if I turn off the computer, the next time I turn it on, it gives black screen and only with nv_disable I can open it. Something has changed because I have not changed anything in my fat DSDT or in my plist... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 bios f20 for support kabylake need EmuVariableUefi-64.efi, video dont work without driver Check All bios with support kabylake have BNUM error ;)This way i know he has bios for kabylake support Whenever I turn on the computer, OSX drivers are always selected by default and not NV. To avoid it select in boot tab and system parameters too in my fat DSDT or in my plist... now u have a fat father(DSDT) and many sons(15 SSDTs) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergarth Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 To avoid it select in boot tab and system parameters too now u have a fat father(DSDT) and many sons(15 SSDTs) Yes I have in plist "system parameters" selected the Nvidia web. I did not change anything in the EFI, plist, nor in DSDT and so I think this behavior strange... I just installed the latest NV Web Driver, last Cuda and the last Clover... About fat father (DSDT) and his 15 sons (SSDTs), the truth is that until now only works well the father. But the godfather of tiny SSDTs (mfc88) is trying to help with their education, and at the same time I am also collaborating in his research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalb Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Okay, so I did everything as advised but I get a black screen. Removed the boot argument "nvda_drv=1" from the config.plist and then it boots, but Nvidia Card won't be recognised. Should I apply AGDFix now?

MaLd0n Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 yes, use Agdpfix to avoid problem i use nvda_drv=1 and Nvidia WEb too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalb Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 AGDPfix says patching done, but after reboot nothing has changed. Nvidia card won't get recognised and when I activate Nvidia WebDrivers and reboot, it still reverts back. Tried it with and without "nvda_drv=1" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 -install web drivers again -check plist with two options config.plist.zip if u take a test, press key O in clover boot screen, go to smbios and put iMac14,2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalb Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've installed latest Nvidia WebDrivers and also replaced checklist with the one above but it did not help. Then I've pressed O and changed smbios to iMac14,2 but that did not change anything... I just don't get it - everything was fine until 10.12.4 Sorry MaLd0n for causing so much work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how my Clover-folder looks like at the moment (reverted plist back to the the first one you made). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbalb Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 MaLd0n, you are my hero!!!!!! It works - Nvidia Card is working perfect - Display Port, HDMI and DVI are all working. I am so relieved even though I really have no clue what was wrong. Sound is also working fine as well - so I guess I only have to take care of the iMessage again as the model identifier has changed? Again, thanks so much for your help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 yes, now u have a iMac17,1(skylake processor) need work in iMessage procedure again send me ioreg, file, save as IORegistryExplorer 3.app.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
