Based on the guide of Rehabman: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

General information

  • F2 to Bios setup
  • F7 to select boot device
  • Clear NVRam (for example missing battery states): Fn + D + Powerrr (not connected to power supply)

Big upgrades:

  • Follow the instructions at the forum thread of Rehabman
  • Add the recommended kexts to the USB
  • Add your own preferred kexts to the USB (from HDD/ SSD EFI to USB EFI)
  • Backup your working config.plist of your SSD EFI
  • Diff it with the config.plist from rehabman (use the 620 version, with ig-platform-id from the spoof version) THIS IS IMPORTANT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET A BLACK SCREEN FROM MOJAVE ONWARDS:
<key>Properties</key>
<dict>
  <key>PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x02,0)</key>
  <dict>
    <key>AAPL,ig-platform-id</key>
    <data>AAAbGQ==</data>
    <key>device-id</key>
    <data>FhkAAA==</data>
    ...
  • Update your own Clover on the SSD
  • Use the updated config.plist and try to boot.
  • Update kexts system wide. So in EFI and /Library/Extensions
sudo cp -r ...kext /Library/Extensions
sudo kextchache -i / # And check for error output
  • When this works, copy also the new config.plist, ACPI > Patched, themes to the EFI USB.
  • Try to boot to your normal desktop from the USB.
  • If that works set USB as boot default in setup (F2)
  • Bootup the installer.
  • Profit! All added kexts should be working after a couple reboots.

Prepare USB installer

Quick install guide

  • F2 at boot > Change boot order to usb.

  • Boot into MacOS install from install_osx

    Mac OS Installation

  • F2 > Boot > Set the USB in the uppermost position.

  • Save

  • Boot into the Installer and follow the instructions below:

    Initialize SSD/HD

  • Go to the terminal and enter:

  • diskutil list note your SSD/HD (disk0 for example)

  • diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk0 GPT JHFS+ "MacOS" R

  • Nu kan je naar Diskutility en het repartitioneren

  • MacOS: 250GB APFS

  • Windows: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) IMPORTANT: DON'T USE FAT!!​

    Installeren

  • Nu kan je naar de Installer en het Installeren op de zojuist aangemaakte disk!

  • Belangrijk is dat je geen APFS maar lekker ouderwets HFS gaat gebruiken. Omdat dat zorgt voor betere boottijden, aangezien TRIM nogal langzaam is met APFS. Zie ook deze thread

  • Reboot several times maar dan wel de goeie disk ("Boot macOS Install from ...") selecteren in Clover!!

    After Install

  • Download this repository again.

  • Use ./download.sh, and then ./install_downloads.sh.

  • Install Clover again on the SSD/ HDD. See below.

  • Make sure you copy APFS.efi and HFSPlus.efi, into Drivers64UEFI. See also the clover install thread

  • Copy the ACPI files, but not the disabling NVIDIA one.

  • Copy our config.plist file.

  • Download the NVidia web drivers: https://www.tonymacx86.com/nvidia-drivers/ and see also this forum thread and search for the right NVIDIA thread. You can try several versions of the same Mac OS version if one is not working and saying that you need another version.

Explanations

Kexts

Go in EFI > Clover > Kexts > Other

Config.plist

Gebruik onze eigen maar compare met een diff-tool: See in: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config. Zie beneden voor de config.plist verantwoording And use the config_HD615_620....plist

  • Use with Clover config.plist patch for 15 > 26 devices.
  • Or use my own SSDT SSDT-UIIAC.dsl and compile to ASL!!!!! (Using MaciASL/ iasl tool) and paste in EFI > Clover > ACPI > Patched for more than 15 devices. Or use the precompiled SSDT-UIAC.aml should wok fine instead of compiling yourself!!!!!

USBInjectAll.kext

USB 3.1/ USB C works out of the box.

  • SSDT-UIAC.dsl > SSDT-UIAC.aml for USBInjectAll.kext

Mount EFI partition

Wanneer je weer opnieuw de USB stick aansluit zal die niet automatisch de EFI partitie weergeven:

  • diskutil list
  • diskutil mount /dev/diskXXX

After install

  • Kies de juiste dingens in Clover en press F2, en F4 voor DSDT dingens.

DSDT en SSDT patchen

  • Download MaciASL

  • Gebruik de guide.git (Probook)

Power management

  • Werkt natively by inserting config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true. Zie ook XPCM Method, Clover.

Brightness

  • Klik en zie hieronder voor de kext instructies. Already included in the ACPI folder.

General

Bladieblad wordt continued

Kexts voor /Library/Extensions

Belangrijk: installeer kexts nu naar /Library/Extensions en kopieer en plak niet vanuit de Finder omdat het de rechten verpest! Gebruik:
sudo cp -R KextToInstall.kext /Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -i /

Installeer Clover op SSD/HD

  • using "Change Install Location"
  • select "Customize" (the default is a legacy install -- we need to change it)
  • check "Install for UEFI booting only", will automatically select
  • check "BGM" from Themes (the config.plist files I provide use this theme)
  • check "AptioMemoryFix.efi" from Drivers64UEFI (en NIET: OsxAptioFixDrv-64, EmuVariableUefi-64)
  • select "Install RC scripts on target volume" and/or "Install all RC scripts on all other boot volumes"

Kexts for Clover on HD/SSD (kexts voor updates etc.)

  • FakeSMC.kext
  • USBInjectAll.kext
  • VoodooPS2Controller.kext
  • RealtekRTL8111.kext
  • FakePCIID met FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi
  • Lilu.kext
  • WhatEverGreen.kext

Clover config.plist

  • See added file

Clover explanations for the original Rehabman thing

NVIDIA
  • Doe een diff, met de config.plist van rehabman. Hieronder staan waarom dingen wel of niet zijn geinclude.
  • Devices > AddProperties > NVIDIA, haal dit allemaal weg. Dit hebben we juist nodig. , tijdens installeren gebruik je de gecompilde SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml. Zie de foler: ACPI > Disable NVIDIA om NVIDIA te disablen. Daarna kan je de webdrivers installeren waarbij je dit invoegt bij config.plist:
<key>SystemParameters</key>
<dict>
    <key>InjectKexts</key>
    <string>Detect</string>
    <key>InjectSystemID</key>
    <true/>
    <key>NvidiaWeb</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
  • change _DSM to XDSM Nodig? Alleen wanneer je _DSM methode aanpast? Ja enable, want dit is nodig voor SSDT-DiscreteSpoof, wanneer je NVIDIA niet wil enablen, maar geen Clover config.plist patcches wil. Dit kan uit worden gezet als NVIDIA weer werkt!
  • Graphics > Inject > NVIDIA: false, otherwise you don't get 8GB of VRAM.
  • Daarna volg deze guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-native-discrete-gpu-power-management.247479/
    In Clover.plist:
  • Zorg er voor dat de Nvidia GPU PM- Rename PEGP to GFX2 DSDT Patch NA change GFX0 to IGPU komt! in config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Patches/
Overig

  • DisabledAML: These default config.plist settings can be used for Native PowerManagement.

  • DSDT > Fixes (zie ook Rehabman Clover 2017-10-26 changes)

    • FixHeaders(_20000000): Enabled: NO, not needed! The purpose of FixHeaders_20000000 is to solve the problem of non-ASCII characters in various ACPI table headers (ie. MATS, BGRT, etc).
    • FixTMR(_40000000): Enabled: NO, not needed !Disable TMR device in DSDT.
    • FixRTC(_20000000): Enabled NO, not needed! Exclude IRQ(0) from RTC device, maar wij hebben IRQ(8).
    • FixIPIC(_0040) Enabled: NO, I think it is not needed. Deletes IRQ(2) from device IPIC. Helps with a non working Power button.
    • FixHPET_0010: Enabled: NO, Add IRQ(0, 8, 11) to device HPET. Obligatory for OSX <=10.8. But I see Mavericks can work without it.
    • FixHDA: Enabled: YES

  • Change OSID to XSID can be deleted as we don't have OSID

  • change _OSI to XOSI enable this as this will rename to Darwin but add from https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/tree/master/hotpatch SSDT-XOSI.dsl --> SSDT-XOSI.aml to Clover > ACPI > Patched

  • change ECDV to EC/ change EC0 to EC/ change H_EC to EC: disable cause our DSDT already uses EC for the embedded controller

  • change HECI to IMEI yes,

  • change MEI to IMEI nope,

  • change HDAS to HDEF YES, we will rename the audio with toleda shit.

  • change GFX0 to IGPU prima, misschien later aanpassen

  • change PCI0.VID to IGPU #1 (Thinkpad) remove en die andere ook

Audio

HDMI Audio

Doesn't work :P, NVIDIA only supports DP Audio with the NVIDIA web drivers: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1021693/geforce-apple-gpus/please-enable-hdmi-audio-in-pascal-drivers/post/5281859/#5281859
https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323307-audio-over-hdmi-on-gtx-1060/

Therefore only DP audio works. If it doesn't see:
https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.GeForce.en.md
(Look for the code between ** ** in PEG0)

This would become for our laptops: Store (One, ^PEGP.NHDA) in Device (PEG0).
Besides there is a SSDT-HDAU.aml which might be neededs.

Boot gibberish before Clover loads:

https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/forums/topic/327584-apfsefi-without-verbose-boot/?page=5

DSDT Changes

  • Removed an error line, otherwise it wouldn't compile. Already removed in Google Drive Repo.
  • Fix _WAK Arg0 v2+ HPET + SMBUS + IRQ + RTC + Mutex + PNOT + PRW (0x6D) Skylake version

Fan control

We're using: https://github.com/datasone/ClevoControl/releases With the self-made starttup script: moe.datasone.clevocontrol.plist in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/moe.datasone.clevocontrol.plist and the ClevoKBFanControl in /usr/local/bin. See also my fork and branch for the DSDT fixes. I need to document it more...
--auto seems fine.

Linux stuff

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx You need the: 'Broadcom STA Wireless driver (Proprietary)' Or see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_%289343%29 > Wifi
