I'm curious as to what people are using for bluetooth with this laptop. I was using a BCM943224HMS for wifi and a QDS-BRCM1043 module for BT with Catalina. After upgrading to Big Sur, I had to apply the workarounds to get the Wifi functioning. I decided to upgrade the wifi to BCM94352HBM to...

Mr boo. You are trying to install big sur on a system with Catalina and using clover? Did you wipe the drive or partition it? When I set mine up, I too was using Catalina and clover. I partitioned the hard drive for the big sur install and I booted and installed from the boot stick and continued...

ok I don't see you using CtlnaAHCIPort so I guess this does not affect this laptop. That could be all my problem right there. I also see your not using an IO80211 patch for your wifi. What wifi card do you use? Yes it freezes at VoodooPS2Controller.kext. I disable the touchpad kext too. Well...

Thienluong89. Can I see your config that you boot Monterey with. Just the config. No need for the whole efi. I have boot issues where the boot hangs.I loaded the debug version of OC and it booted to the desktop lol, after hanging on boot a dozen times prior. Also, You use AppleALC for your...

I managed to install Big Sur 11.6.1 but it was touch and go lol. Thought I screwed it up a couple times.Got caught up in a boot loop and a hang during boot.Took a bit to figure it out. Dual booting another macOS is very useful for setting up a new install. It all seems to all be working. Managed...

Chris’ tool didn’t work very well for me and I’m not sure why but it doesn’t really matter I guess. I actually have that ssdt already. I generated it back when I was setting up Catalina. It was still in my clover efi. I moved it and my dsdt to the OC ACPI folder and all my problems disappeared...

Thienluong89…I see your ACPI ssdt’s were generated with Chris tool and the others ,following the guide. Which method did you use following the guide and do you have a complete patched dsdt? are you getting any ACPI errors on boot. I was getting lots with your ssdt’s and chris’ aswell. I have a...

You got windows 11 to install on that hardware? Lol it won’t even install on my main Pc. Lol nice My cam won’t work on any OS anymore so I figured it’s the connection

Great news. Webcam is part of usb. Catalina required usb mapping for cam to function properly if I remember correctly. My cam isn’t working at the moment. I need to check the connection. Never used it and I think I forgot to plug it back in after cpu and heat sink upgrade last year. Need to...

I don’t know why. I was told to use it a couple years ago when I was setting up Catalina and it worked. I thought of it yesterday and tried it but because the platform ID wasn’t defined in the device properties, it didn’t work. I copied your device properties and included the bootarg and...

I bel I believe that is ssdt I created in my orig clover acpi folder. Thanks. Do you know if there is a fix for bcm943224 wifi? It’s broken in big sur. How’s your audio? AppleALC doesn’t work in Catalina or big sur for me. Was using voodooHDA and AppleHDADisabler with clover and Catalina. I...

Did you add that platform Id to the device properties or is that part of the post install? Mine is blank? I also have black screen after the post install boot on both big sur and Catalina. Chris was no help. Said there is settings for high screen and closed my issue. I tried the ID as a boot arg...

I too have this same laptop with the HD4000 and the 1600x900 display. I already have a triboot set up. macOS Catalina on a 500GB and Win10 Pro and Ubuntu set up on another 500gb drive that replaces the DVD drive. It’s a p model so i could only throw in 16 gig of 1600mhz. You know the saying If...
