Tell me, how you install modified BIOS from windows ?

I need to know it cuz i can't turn on VT-X

Thx for helping new user :]

U have to find Intel MEI driver with tools (latest is version 9 i think)
when U find that MEI driver and tools run CMD as Administrator (this is VERY important)
and go to directory where exe file
after that make BACKUP (fptw64.exe -d output.bin -BIOS)
and after backup is saved on USB or some safe place
u can FLASH new BIOS(fptw64.exe -f modoutput.bin -BIOS)
Note:
(If U have x86 windows use fptw.exe)

I telling one more time
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICK, DAMAGE OR FAILURE COUSED BY THIS METHODS

nice didnt know this is right way to do it

now, U said that I need patch GFX0
I have GFX0 in 2 SSDT files, so I need patch all files that include GFX0 or ...

GFX0 is only defined in SSDT-5. That's the one you need to patch...

And now SSDT-5 if OK but SSDT-6 is problem, with Ur method still error

For SSDT-6, you have to do some repairing as there is something funny with the P8XH method.
The methods are probably not called, so I'd remove them.

into_all method label MXMX remove_entry;
into_all method label WMMX remove_entry;
into method label _BCM parent_label DD02 replace_content begin //nothing end;

ok this works fine, added I have added into SSDT-5 brightness patch (no errors)
save aml and installed Backlight.kext but after restart there is no slider
after I have added brightness patch (to DSDT / not Haswell regular one only PNLF) and restart there is slider but not working

have U some advice for this???? do PNLF only works if is in DSDT???

Did you copy it to where it will be loaded by the bootloader? What is the contents of your /Extra folder at this point?

Did you run the "Rename GFX0 to IGPU" patch also on the DSDT? Are you certain there is no PNLF device present in the DSDT? A bit confused by where you wrote "added brightness patch (to DSDT)"...

YES

YES

I have just add this to DSDT

into device label PNLF remove_entry;
into definitionblock code_regex . insert
begin
Scope (\_SB)\n
{\n
Device (PNLF)\n
{\n
Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP0002"))\n
Name (_CID, "backlight")\n
Name (_UID, 0x0A)\n
Name (_STA, 0x0B)\n
}\n
}\n
end;

to test it (because if I add brightness patch (haswell) into DSDT I got 2 errors

here is DSDT and SSDT-5/6 take a look

You contradict yourself here. If you have applied that patch (PNLF above) to your DSDT, then you have a PNLF device in DSDT and the one in your SSDT will not be used. You must have no PNLF device in DSDT.

Yes, because you should not be adding any brightness patch to DSDT.

And when you save them to /Extra, you must make sure they are named such that the bootloader will load them. If you already have an /Extra/SSDT.AML (for CPU power management):

/Extra/dsdt.aml
/Extra/ssdt.aml (generated for your CPU already?)
/Extra/ssdt-1.aml (result from compiling ssdt-5.dsl)
/Extra/ssdt-2.aml (result from compiling ssdt-6.dsl)

OK.

OK

I have check and all files are .aml (uppercase if that is important?)

My extra folder contains
/Extra/DSDT.aml
/Extra/SSDT.aml (generated)
/Extra/SSDT-1.aml
/Extra/SSDT-2.aml
/Extra/SSDT-3.aml
/Extra/SSDT-4.aml
/Extra/SSDT-5.aml
/Extra/SSDT-5.aml
/Extra/smbios.plist
/Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist
/Extra/modules
/Extra/Themes

If is important using now Chimera 2.2.1 (latest)

That looks ok, but you should really evaluate whether you want all those SSDTs. Generally, you don't want the CPU related ones as they are handled by your generated SSDT.AML.

Upper/lower case doesn't matter as the file system is case insensitive.

Also, you should be sure to use DropSSDT=Yes.

I have tried DropSSDT=Yes but no help

There is one thing that I have noticed now, after switch to Chimera it say
Intel HD Graphics 4600 Mobile 64MB

but on Clover was 1024MB and Qe/CI was working...now have to deal with this to get it back...

You cannot have working brightness without QE/CI.

Why did you switch from Clover to Chimera? If anything, use Chameleon so you can set IntelAzulFB=12 GraphicsEnabler=Yes.
