Your ACPI setup is wrong. Note that your patchmatic output does not disassemble cleanly: iasl -da -dl *.aml

Thanks , how can I fix the ACPI ? Also as I see in this long thread, there’s people that report that this Bluetooth is working well...

Hi, I will compile a parts list and some basic instructions when I get a chance. Been quite busy today. Will post some more detail as soon as I have a chance.

Please do so. Sounds very good!

So I’ve learned how to patch the DSDT and the SSDTS, but I see there’s need to be some specific patching for each laptop , how I know what patching should I do to each file for this Xiaomi Notebook Pro ?
Also after I patching and have all patched DSDT and the SSDTS ready , I just need to copy them to the clover patched folder?

There is a solution for this, when you boot into the system with the hdmi connected your laptop screen will go black. Close the lid, wait for 5 seconds and then open it again, both screens will probably working now( thats what i do each time i boot up). Hope that works!!

Thanks a lot! This solution works perfectly!

Depends on the problem you're trying to fix.

You probably do not need any patched SSDTs (assuming you have only IGPU).
Your question is answered in the guide.

Great work Owens just a few questions.

Can you link to all the parts you used?

Can you explain how you cut part of the m2 adaptor to fit the laptop?

Hi Everyone, as promised, I have put together some instructions detailing exactly how I managed to install BROADCOM internal WiFi into my Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro, please see the attached PDF file. There are quite a few difficult steps in this process, so please read all the instructions carefully before you attempt to begin. If anyone has any more questions I am happy to help. Good Luck!

Great WIFI guide. THX. For me last issiue is a touchpad, still cursor stuck after gestrue, i don't know why but right click not working at all ( working as left clik). So still prefer to use desktop hacintosh. If one day problem with trackpad will be solved then defenitly WIFI mod will be done. Is not easy to use xiaomi a as a portable hacintosh device ...

thanks for this great guide :
1. I'm sure you searched for but , is there maybe a wifi/BT card that not need the A to M key and can be directly installed to the ssd slot?
2. Will this hack will also make my BT work perfect like real Mac?
3. did you think about maybe put the ssd in the place you put the wifi card and put the wifi card near the Xiaomi wifi module ? it will make the way that the MHF4 cable need to do more shorter , no?
