[Guide] Dell XPS 9350 Mojave VirtualSMC, I2C Trackpad, Clover UEFI Hotpatch

[Danielkng]

So this is my clover file which I created following this gude:
github.com/hackintosh-stuff/XPS9350-macOS

the only change I made is switching the smbios to macbook9,1 in config.plist and adding OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi to driver64UEFI folder

When I boot the installer with verbose mode I get (attached the screenshot of it)
DSMOS has arrived
~errorcode 8877652

And soon goes to this screen where apple logo with loading bar (with no progression at all) shows up and the mouse cursor is at the top left corner of the screen.

Tried everything I could think of and stuck with the same problem again and again :/

Help would be very appreciated!!

Same here @Feartech. Tried all APTIOFIXES, none did work. I'm stuck in the same boat as this guy does.
@xpsmojave I don't know if the 9,1 SMBIOS really fits better. In theory 13,1 or 13,2 should be more fitting. Results in the same error anyway.

But there's one thing I noticed:
If you boot with a Fake-ID (0x12345678) and inject a invalid -platform-id (0x12345678) (CloverBootmenue/Settings/Graphics/InjectIntel/) you can get to the mouse-cursor and move it around. It stops at "gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0"

Yeah I tried 9,1 SMBIOS just because it allowed me to have the apple logo boot up with a mouse cursor.. But I do agree that in theory, 13,1 or 13,2 should fit better because those are skylake based macs. I also tried injecting invalid -platform-id before but even before injecting invalid id, I was able to move the mouse cursor by tapping the screen(mine is a touch model). But of course, that didn't help me boot the installer :\

I really hope we can fix this problem and have a successful hackintosh on our xps haha I feel like I tried everything I can do to fix this issue and don't know what to do now

Have you tried "Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen"?

Have you tried "Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen"?

That is different from just inserting latest whatevergreen.kext and lilu.kext right? Then I haven't.. Guide to do that looked really complicated :/ Maybe I should look into that!

It seemed pretty simple actually, just removing some entry's from the config.plist and adding a line or two. I can't try it, I'm quite busy today. :/

Holy! I've got the solution. @xpsmojave Unscrew the WiFi Card an try again

Thank you for suggestion! I was having a hard time trying to understand framebuffer patches haha
Do you mean unscrew wifi card as in take it off? I tried that with your attached clover file but I'm getting the same problem

Did your installer boot up just by taking off the wifi card?

 

[xpsmojave]

Wow! Nevermind what I said! I just tried booting the installer with my clover files and it booted up!! But my touchpad isn't working so I'm currently installing it by touching the screen. I'll keep you updated, thank you so much!

 

[xpsmojave]

So here is an update! After removing the wifi card, I was able to install macOS successfully! Touchpad wasn't working so I had to install some kexts and everything(except wifi) works! I was using dw1820a wifi chip the rest of the time while waiting for my dw1830 adapter to arrive and I never thought not swapping the wifi card could cause this mess! Haha I partitioned the drive and installed windows and dual boot also works perfectly I should leave my hackintosh for now until my 1830 arrives since it fails to boot when the wifi card is on. Thank you so much!
