    [Guide] Dell XPS 15 9560: 4K Touch, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM, 100% AdobeRGB

    Just posting to say the 10.13.2 update went without issues with my clover setup posted previously. Just had to rebuild the kextcache to get brightness working again.

    No, the reason I switched was because the frequency vectors supplied by the 13,3 SMBIOS seem to better match the 7700HQ frequencies than the 14,3. These are the frequencies that apple chooses to use based on the model. The 14,3 seems to have slightly too high frequency settings. This might...

    I stand corrected. I'll update the post to only include the freqVectorsEdit step.

    I've checked my transfer rate to my wireless network and MacOS reports a speed of 1170Mbps. I have not validated this value, however. EDIT: I forgot to mention that my transfer rate and signal strength was significantly worse before installing the third antenna for the DW1830.

    So here's my follow up post on how I got a full range of P-States to work on MacOS. The guide provided does indeed tell MacOS to use P-States but it is using a subset of the available states and bottoms out at a 1.3GHz state. Following these steps will allow your CPU to drop to 0.8GHz leading...

    The card is the DW1830 although I believe my setup should work for both. I have also just managed to get P-States correctly working as the Clover folder provided by this guide only provides half the solution. I'll post another post later regarding how I did this and attach my new Clover folder.

    For anyone struggling to update to 13.1 I fixed a gIOLockScreenState boot display issue after applying the update by updating several kexts and rebuilding the kernel kext cache (I had to do this once booted to get display brightness working again). I pretty much updated all the Lilu kexts that...

    You are correct. Forgot to check bluetooth. Re-adding the BrcmPatchRam and FirmwareData kexts made this work too. Again, thanks a lot for the help!

    Your comment on the loaded kext helped me figure it out. Thanks a lot for the help! After doing some googling of the driver I came across this post: Country Code Patch for High Sierra I removed my kext wifi patches, the BrcmRamPatch and Firmware kexts, updated Lilu to 1.2.0 (out yesterday)...

    I can see why that would be a valid test, but before I spend money on yet another wireless card, could there not be anything software wise that could be causing this issue? It seemed to function correctly for Sierra.

    I tried both with and without the country code patch. Neither configuration had an effect. As for the BCM94352Z suggestion, I mentioned I was assuming you meant the broadcom FakePCIID kext which I already have installed. Am I wrong in assuming that? I can regenerate problem reporting files...

    Installed all kexts from clover to /S/L/E to no effect. Rebuilt caches with kextcache -i / and -u /. Also tried enabling country code patch afterwards to also no effect.

    [Guide] Dell XPS 15 9560: 4K Touch, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM, 100% AdobeRGB

    Tried with removing country code patch and whitelist patch. Still didn't work. I've installed FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext in clover already (assuming this is what you meant). It didn't work before this was installed either and I had previously tried with both patches disabled. My card has...

    Yes, sorry, forgot to mention that.
