HDMI is attached to the dGPU so negative, sorry

@kylec, thanks for your continued help. I just stumbled across this article, and straight from the horse's mouth: The machine may actually not support S3 at all...hence it not showing up as an ACPI sleep state to begin with. I'm trying to have a go at seeing how the Linux guys are handling...

Hmmm...yeah, I did do that part too. Testing between just the first part (forcing S3 to be available) and with both fixes he suggested didn't change any symptoms. I kept the DSDT modified with the deleted Method GPRW, deleted Name PRWP, and all Method (_PRW)'s changed accordingly though.

Thanks for looking into that. That thread was actually what gave me the idea to perform those DSDT edits. That's pretty much where I'm at right now...S3 shows up and the system will go to sleep (or at least log that it's going to sleep) but waking it results in it waking to the boot screen.

I think I've managed to pull the BIOS image from that download...I've opened it in UEFITool and tried but failed to figure out how to extract the Setup IFR. (Sorry, trying to learn as I go with the UEFI disassembly stuff, this is new to me)

Hey, thanks for the response. I tried but couldn't seem to figure out how to save my current BIOS as an image for UEFITool to read. UEFIExtract /O just gave me an unknown command error. Can't download a BIOS update file for the Surface Pro 4 because it gets bundled in with Windows Updates...

Solid advice, but I'm already configured that way though. I suspect my issue is with the DSDT as replacing If (SS3) { Name (_S3, Package (0x04) { 0x05, Zero, Zero, Zero }) } with Name (_S3, Package (0x04) {...

Poking around a bit more today and I noticed ACPI: sleep states S4 S5 in my boot logs... Cross-referencing my other hackintosh and a genuine MBP and they both list S3, so it's odd that the surface is missing the sleep state.

Hi all, I've got my Surface Pro 4 (i5) up and running with 10.15.5 (OC 0.6) and everything works perfectly fine with the exception of sleep. Invoking sleep via apple menu appears to work fine, i.e. the display turns off, playback pauses on any media, etc. however the machine does not actually...

Bump...anyone got any ideas?

So I might be onto something...I just realized that most of the other laptops I've seen people have a similar problem with don't have Thunderbolt 3...and this one does. I was messing around with Hackintool and it made me realize that the TB3 port also has its own XHC controller because it also...

Hi all, I've gotten this laptop mostly up and running, including sleep, but oddly enough after 2 sleep/wake cycles, the dGPU seems to power itself back on and attempting to sleep after this occurs results in an instant wake bug again. Sometimes letting it sleep and then instant wake seems to...

Haven't hackintoshed since my old i5-2500K build...it's good to be back. Found myself a new project, an Eluktronics MAG-15. It's a white label laptop from ODM TongFang, designed by Intel, so coincidentally it was a good starting point for a complete DSDT/SSDT n00b like me, because the stuff in...

Thanks! Found this post, got installer booting after following directions. Currently searching for a solution to the installation hanging at "About 2 minutes remaining" noticed this is normal behavior if the auto-reboot doesn't work...crossing fingers!

Hi all! I've got an Eluktronics MAG-15 (aka Element / Fusion 15 / QC7), and I can't seem to get it to boot into the installer. BIOS settings are all as recommended, thunderbolt is disabled, etc. No combination of options / disabling kexts seems to get me past the "apfs_module_start:1393" line...
