MoneyMiGHT Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 FYI: if i delete all files in "ACPI/patched" but SSDT-SB-i5 -> Sleep works wonderful ...but sadly USB and macOS BrightnessControll don't. So the problem is inside the DSDT...but i dont get it how to patch anything accordingly?I disassembled my DSDT with the tool from RehabMan and loaded it into maciASL and fix the errors to compile.But how do i know which fixes i have to include? + i only see HP fixes or are they generic?Any help would be appreciated.

bronxteck Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 E6420 is a different machine. this is for E6430 the graphics and other hardware are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balajibv Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 *Noob Alert* I landed here searching for an Installation Guide (step by step) for my Dell E6430. I do see the build details but couldnt find any links for the steps. Could you please guide me to the link which you used for this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronxteck Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 make a clover usb installer then overwrite your installers efi folder with slices. then after install install clover to the HDD/SSD and again transfer slices EFi files. then tune the config.plist for your needs. theme and language and screen resolution. also you need to know what wifi your machine has. if it is intel based then it is not supported by osx and will need replacement.

MoneyMiGHT Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 @Slice, can you tell me, what fixes you included in your DSDT?Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkiryxda Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 E6420 is a different machine. this is for E6430 the graphics and other hardware are not the same. Still worked fine for me. i now have sierra, just cant get past the login screen as the system hangs with nvidia drivers enabled. (P.S i tried with lilu and Graphicsfix kexts but to no avail.

Slice Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 @Slice, can you tell me, what fixes you included in your DSDT? Thanks in advance... There are no "fixes in my DSDT" in the sense of MaciASL because I never used it. I edit DSDT manually step by step as I am programmer and I can test result after every step. There is final DSDT which you can compare with clean one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronxteck Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 you can use maciasl to convert your dsdt and slices dsdt to .dsl format give one a different name like call Slice's dsdt "slice.dsl" (without the "" marks) then use a compare tool like meld merge it will compare both files and show you where the changes are.

Slice Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 My guide was good for ElCapitan where Nvidia 5200M works fine. But now I decided to install HighSierra and I found that Nvidia family Fermi will not work in the OS anyway. So I switched Optimus ON in my BIOS so I have Intel HD4000 as main graphics and switched off Nvidia by ACPI methods. Here it is.

chummdoggin Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 That was all you needed changed for HSierra? the other things still worked ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chummdoggin Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) I know should wait till order comes but isnt that dw1550 always a/b/g/n/ac or do the sellers mistakenly charge less and list them as without the /ac? More so is that card the right size and will the bios need modified to accept it? Some are listed as azurewave 94352hmb but are all dw1550s those specs?

chummdoggin Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 cool, thank you for everything. I usually hear RM say its a hassle to change over but looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chummdoggin Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) dont think my machine has nvidia but maybe could use older driver for fermi if it made any sense to. Looks like it ran pretty hot anyway, dont know the state of that system if it went through much intensive at the time the shot was posted from sensors.

chummdoggin Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Initially installed el cap but attempted to update to Hsierra and had problems since it changed to apfs. I used the efi folder from post 1 the first time and a lot didn't work like sound and sleep, which was why I updated to hsierra. Once that apfs was fixed back to good old hfs, everything works except sleep. The differing processor and no Nvidia? This e6430 has i5 3210 are there any suggestions how to proceed to get sleep and HDMI audio to work? To keep the work you already did, perhaps use some of the ssdts from your efi but extact some from this? Necessary to use piker alpha power management ssdt? And try as suggested to compare a clean dsdt to yours? I tested another dsdt for e6430 from pokenguyen with instances of sleep happened by closing lid which did not work with usb in certain slots like the usb3 while experimenting in El Capitan. Maybe you feel like and have the time to look @ the clean files and the ioreg? Thanks again for all the work put in to these projects. In the end used pokenguyen dsdt and everything works but bluetooth only wakes once or twice on battery power. Maybe changed after updated your smc stuff. not checked that. I had booted without battery then battery in menu bar would not come back. Pretty great for cheap price of machine I think. NEW EDIT: Machine now works completely. Used pokenguyen dsdt and added RMs _Pwr dsdt edits. The appleALC kext made everything audio work and the hdmi audio. The wifi dw1550s bluetooth was somehow showing on two usb ports and would crash on wake only if on battery power. chopping out one of them in dsdt (rpt15) solved it. I used all of RMs kexts for broadcom and bluetooth got his acpibattery and also for fakesmc w/sensors. I used intelgraphicsfixup for the logo at boot. ran processor tests and got comparable scores and ran intelinfo kext and looks like the PM is good. EDIT: No, chopping out that dsdt part didnt keep working. Realized camera disappears too on wake whether on battery or ac power. Only the bluetooth wakes every time on ac and does even with it showing up on 2 different ports at the same time.

FireAlarm347 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I am having a weird problem with my Dell Latitude E6430 with Intel Core i5 and no NVIDIA Optimus setting in BIOS. Every time I boot it up, it takes like 10 minutes because it takes forever at the kextd stall with AppleACPIPlatformMaster or something like that, and I don't know how to fix it. I also got wifi working with my USB wifi adapter. I am running Mojave with nothing unchanged from the clover folder except for the apfs.efi file in the Drivers64UEFI. My clover folder is attached to my post. CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no Optimus under video settings in BIOS. According to Dell, not all E6430s come with it. Is there a way around it, maybe a new clover folder?

Slice Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 If you have no Nvidia inside then you have no settings for Optimus then you should not bother about it. My DSDT is probably different from your so you should patch your DSDT by yourself using ideas from my DSDT. Kexts will be the same as well and clover config.

I found no difference. 2. 10.13.6 - you have to switch Optimus ON in BIOS. Bios must be A12. Use my settings to see Intel graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
