I'm in the process of modernizing my High Sierra hackintosh Alienware m15 R1 I configured around two years ago. I was using VodooHDA 2.8.9, and I was getting all audio outputs activated all the time, that is the Speakers and Headphones in the Realtek ALC289 codec, 4 DisplayPort digital audio...

Ok the problem is that I was trying to read the .rom file I get from passing /writeromfile to the .exe update file from Alienware, and it seems that that's not a valid UEFI rom upgrade. Using Intel FPTW64.exe I was able to get an actual dump of the rom that was parsed by UEFITool, I can confirm...

Fixed it by moving to latest Clover with OpenRuntime.

Also about unlocking the BIOS, did you see this post in bios-mods ? I don't have an easy way to flash the ROM if it gets bricked, so I wasn't brave enough to test the provided BIOS, looking at your post in win-raid it seems that you can flash it offline, so maybe you'll have better luck. edit...

@shiecldk I'm trying to replicate your steps but neither with my BIOS (2.1.1) or yours (2.5.0) I've been able to find the CFG Lock with the UEFITool, are you searching from something else? Also instead of PE32 images I get TE images (I suppose they are equivalent as they are also saved as .efi)...

Hi, I had a working hackintosh (latest High Sierra) on a Alienware m15 R1 laptop. It was working fine, but Today I got the dreaded "Couldn't allocate runtime area" error. The only thing I could imagine that affected the fragmentation of memory was a new Thunderbolt 10G SFP+ adapter from QNAP...

Ok, it was harder than expected, mainly because of the OLED panel. But finally it is working! After some extra headaches the Alienware Graphics Amplifier with a GTX 1080 Ti is also working. Connected to two 144Hz 2560x1440p screens and the OLED running as 4K retina is just the best Mac...

Could you share the more stripped version? I've been unable to install either High Sierra, Mojave or Catalina. I've tried all your versions from the other german forum with the same result. stuck at gIOScreenLockState :(

So you used that one as is to install Mojave or Catalina? Or did you install using unibeast and this is the tweaked config for normal booting. I'm unable to even get to the installer in the Alienware m15 r1. I've installed in many laptops (for example an Alienware 13R3) and desktops, and I am...

Would this work for High Sierra? I'm trying to install High Sierra to try a GTX1080 Ti in a graphics amplifier but just with the intel and the RTX2060 (without the AGA connected) I get stuck at gIOScreenLockState 3. I've also tried another EFI from a github (RockJesus/Alienware-Hackintosh) with...

Has anybody been able to enable QE/CI acceleration in a Thinkpad X220 (Core i5, HD3000). I've followed several guides, the one that took me further was the one at x220.mcdonnelltech.com , following that, everything is working fine except QE/CI. I have 8GB of RAM.

I was able to update without problems, rebooted into 10.12.6 with the fakeid for skylake. Then edit the config.plist to switch to native kaby lake (following advice here), rebooted again, it didn't boot. Now even if I put the old (skylake injecting) config.plist I get: Mach-O file has bad magic...

At the end I went the VoodooHDA path, works flawlessly with no customization. Fixing the pathmaps was too complicated, and I don't need sleep working.

Sorry I missed the part about not using ioreg -l and attaching a .ioreg from 2.2.1. I've attached a full ioreg from 2.2.1 and the full kextstat output, also kextcache -u / both verbose and normal. Thank you!
