[Guide] Dell XPS 15 9560 MacOS 10.14.1 (all models)

Yes, I meant that you should copy the folder to the "Install macOS Mojave USB" drive. As for your USB issue, if it still shows up in your mac try to just run the clover installer again and see if that fixes it. No need to wipe the whole USB.

The USB is now detected within Ubuntu, but not as a bootable drive within UEFI BOOT settings / F12 Menu.

I thought it might have been a USB problem, so I did the same clover install with different USB as destination (copied the 2 terminal lines from opening post which formatted as GPT and I did get "Making disk bootable" line from terminal with the 6GB Mojave installer, checked UEFI; ESP and UEFI drivers (4) were the only ones automatically checked) / EFI-clover folder replacement / place all other stuff in non-UEFI partition.

But still same problem: no bootable hackintosh USB detected after I installed Ubuntu. My XPS still detects Ubuntu Bootloader USB, but not the hackintosh one anymore. Did anyone have same problem? Thanks again.

Edit: Interestingly, if I leave the bootable hackintosh usb while restarting the XPS normally, it'll go into an infinite loop of restarting until I pull the USB out. The only options I currently have on the F12 menu is ubuntu, and my primary drive. If I click on either, it'll go into Dell SupportAssist and say no bootable devices found.

You have to go into BIOS and set the path for the boot entry on the USB drive. Bios->General->Boot Sequence. Add boot option, give it a name, select the right file system from the list, and select EFI/Clover/CLOVERX64.efi

Thanks! Clover is showing up again as bootable USB per your instructions.

Just an update that Mojave works for me now. I attempted to triple boot in the beginning (primary Windows/ secondary Ubuntu / to-be Hackintosh), and for some reason my Ubuntu partition kept reporting as Unallocated space in Disk Utility and everything crumbled from there. Erase/partition (to APHS) on Disk Utility did not work as intended, and my whole drive (Samsung 960 EVO) got wiped as a result.

I attempted it a second time, but used Unibeast to make the bootable USB (don't know if it matters; I didn't use the recommended Multibeast). Besides that, all the steps on OP was followed except using Clover. Everything surprisingly worked smoothly (Audio/brightness is fine, I did not test sleep/hibernate yet). I do not have a battery indicator, and I saw in page 10+ that it was fixed, not sure if it is supposed to be there yet.

I tried using Dell 1820A wifi adapter (on compatible device list, but was not recommended) to no success; I'll have to order the Dell 1560. I am currently using a USB-ethernet adapter to connect to the internet.

I fiddled with VoodooI2C w/ no prior knowledge and I now have basic gestures (2 finger back/forward, 3/4-finger pinch, 3/4-finger up AFAIK). Touchpad speed is also very fast now, which I am used to. Is it possible to customize it even further? Or is it beyond my current scope? I'd like to register a tap as a click / 2 finger-tap or even 2-finger click as right-click. One thing that stood out to me was that during compile I had 51 error messages. I thought at worst case scenario, I'd reformat my SSD again and give hackintosh a break if anything broke.

Not sure if there will be any adverse effects yet, but works great so far! Let me know if I did anything wrong too, this is a large learning experience for me, even though I'm just (trying) to follow guides. Thanks again!

Hi everyone. I have 4K Touchscreen version, with DW1560 BCM94352Z and I can't power up Wifi. Bluetooth works fine. On windows wifi works great. Please help.

Your ACPI configuration is very wrong.
It is not valid to use the _OSI->XOSI patch without SSDT-XOSI.aml.

Looks like you have a bunch of hotpatch ACPI in config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Patches but without the required content in ACPI/patched that matches.

Didn't want to hijack the thread but I deviated so far from these files I created my own guide on what I did. No offense to OP.

Hi,
so I did the 10.14.1 update and everything seems to work fine, I was able to reboot with no problem!
It just broke the I2C trackpad but it was solved by clearing the kext system caches.

Still can't get sleep to work. Attached are debug files.

You must provide details on what is wrong with sleep.
