[Guide] Dell XPS 9560 Mojave VirtualSMC, I2C Trackpad, Clover UEFI Hotpatch

[mimeTypes]

Okay, I upgraded. Couldn't wait any longer.
Upgrade was smooth. Rebooted 2 to 3 Times.

sudo kextcache -i /
solved trackpad issue as always.
Everything is working except my Bluetooth issue :[ and my shitty DHCP can't watch iTunes (now called TV) movies.

So, went to jardenliu's git and checked what he did the last days.

Seems like adding BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext to Clover kexts folder solves my Bluetooth issue.

Yep, you need to use these kexts:

- BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
- BrcmFrimwareData.kext (haven't tried it myself, you should be able to use BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext for L/E)
- BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext

You should use all three to get your bluetooth working after the update.

Compiled (and modified) version of kexts

Can you share your EFI?

Hi all.

Update went well finally. Same clover version as OP. (3.4)

Be VERY careful to update all your clover drivers + last kext updates BEFORE update.

I didn't used -disablegfxfirmware boot flag at all.

Cheers.

Had few trouble with bluetooth not working using :
- BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
- BrcmFrimwareData.kext

Instead - BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext worked for me. If you do, only use this only kext in favor of the 2 above. You can't use both.

So i tried upgrading to Catalina and now i just get a black screen with a white Apple logo. Anyone have a way to fix this? i have an old Mojave boot disk and a new catalina install disk, but it would seem that both just boot to the black screen

I am using all 3 kexts and its working pretty well.
Are you sure that you can connect to devices with your bluetooth setup?


EDIT:
Like noted in a post before. There is a new fork of RehabMan's BRCMPatchRam.

BrcmPatchRAM2 for 10.15 Catalina (Broadcom bluetooth firmware upload)

I'm just going to run through some of the changes I made to RehabMan's BrcmPatchRAM project for it to function in macOS Catalina. I don't really have time to go any further with it but hopefully my research and testing can help get an official working version out. I'm using BrcmFirmwareData.kext,...

My Efi is just the Clover 3.4 Version of @blazinsmokey + added the new Bluetooth patch and updated Clover and all kexts

OK was able to finally get into the OS with the help of LeLunZ's help with his clover. Still having some boot issues. My system bypasses Clover boot and goes straight to Windows. I copied over the clover from the boot usb but still nothing...Thoughts?

Just delete Or place Windows from your boot sequenze in the bios (after the clover config). And add the right clover Efi file.

After update to Catalina, my Darkintosh lost the camera and bluetooth. Anyone faced with that problems too?
