    [Guide] [OpenCore] Dell Inspiron 17 5767 (i7-7500u)

    Everything now works as if it is a native iMac. It is running Big Sur 11.3 (update went without any issues); now 11.3.1 and it also works fine. I had a sound issue, which was fixed, but setting the balance about 1/8 of the way right of center. If I didn't there were drops outs on multi-channel...

    Turned off CFG LOck. I went through the process outlined on the OpenCore site. Then came the point of actually making the chnage to turn off locking. Then I found this: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-unlocking-cfg-with-opencore-and-cfglock-efi.305163/page-3 Also, if you used the...

    It seems everything is working. Speed is great especially with SSDs and 32GB of memory. Even faster after turning off malware noted below. CleanMyMac claims that ComboJack installs a Trojan Virus that is used to mine crypto currencies. I ran Bitdefender and it did not find any issues with...

    It is installed, and I am surprised how fast it is. Other getting used to the touchpad, and turning off some Spotlight and touch pad search settings (popups every time you click on a line in terminal), it seems to be running. One item I did find, when the display goe sto sleep, you can't wake...

    Yep, it helps to make sure that if you used a disk for another OS to make sure that target system disk is one partition that spans the disk and that it si AFTS. . After correctly partitioning the disk, the installer corrected booted the hard disk and went to the next phase. macOS may be based on...

    After a silly error of assuming the macOS wipes disk partitions like Linux, I started the install on a cleaned AFTS partition that now spans the whole disk. A side note, wifi works form the isntaller, which is nice. because Dell Inspiron 5767 does not have user friendly Ethernet port...

    This is from Ubuntu 20.04 on the laptop in question. FYI, I have an iMac running BigSur 11.2.3 I tried copying BaseSystem.chunklist and BaseSystem.dmg from teh recover area, and tried booting with those; this also did not get far. As BaseSystem.dmg, in the recovery area, is smaller than the...

    Thank you for your suggestions. Here is the total log output, after making the suggested changes. I used the plist.config generated by build.sh. This is an attempt to install Big Sur. If I did not know any better, I think BaseSystem.dmg is broken. It was downloaded via: python ./macrecovery.py...

    I appreciate the changes you made so quickly to deal with the missing Bluetooth kext files and upgrading to OpenCore 0.6.8. I apologize for posting to the wrong Inspiron model forum yesterday. Though, I suspect that what I experiencing may be applicable to multiple inspiron models. However...

    [Guide] macOS High Sierra on Dell Inspiron 17 5767

    I will like to say this is very good documentation. But, I have to mention, that the build.sh command does not move the VerbStub.kext directory into Out/EFI/OC/Kexts. Also, the build.sh script , and the download, does not include IntelBluetoothInjector.kext and IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext at...
