Make sure your system uses GPE index 0x0D.
Note that the files in post #369 actually use GPE index 0x6D.
Using a mismatched patch for the GPE your laptop actually uses is a mistake.

You are right RehabMan, just double checked and it is actually 0x6D. Initially i just did a quick test to fix immediate wake without looking at the GPE. I will update the post accordantly.

somebody said the glitch of IDE(phpStorm,webStorm) is because the Nvidia web driver. there's the problem from 10.10.

no. i'm using fake HDA( #398 ). keyboard control is fine. can't test thunderbolt 3/USB-C.

In order to fix Immediate wake when using USBInjectAll kext use this patch:
USB3 _PRW 0x6D Skylake (Instant Wake)
From RehabMan patches.

USBInjectAll not work in 10.12.2

USBInjectAll not work in 10.12.2

It works just fine.
You should probably explain your issue more clearly.

Yeah, was testing it yesterday, working properly for me.

Thank you very much, it work!

Another question, you can try buying a USB-C to USB 3.0 and use it with a external drive, it should work if you attach device before boot (or if work while you're in OS, tell me please!)

Meanwhile thunderbolt, I don't know...I'm disperate because Thunderbolt is a part of my job.

ps: for 10.12.2, what method you used? update or reinstall like a new installation?

Install Mac Sierra success, thanks to slayer23a(watch #355).
here is my EFI files. my files has little difference with Slayer23a. i used USBInjectAll to make the USB near the audio jack works with usb2.0, but it will cause the sleep auto wake.
UPDATE: install EI Capitan successfully, the EFI files at #149, latest EFI for 10.11 in #369
