Okay so this is what ive put on tho the Method BRT6, is this correct ?
Code: 
         Method (BRT6, 2, NotSerialized)                        
            {
                \rmdt.p1("BRT6 enter")
                If (LEqual (Arg0, One))
                {
                    Notify (LCD, 0x86)
                }

                If (And (Arg0, 0x02))
                {
                    Notify (LCD, 0x87)
                    \rmdt.p1("BRT6 exit")
                }
            }

Those traces aren't very helpful. The "BRT6 exit" doesn't correspond to the exit of the method -- it corresponds to the case that bit 1 is set to 1 in Arg0. And wouldn't you want to know the case of Arg0==0?

This is what shows up on the console when i hit my brightness keys

Code: 
Sep 30 09:59:52 localhost kernel[0]: ACPIDebug: "EC _Q66 enter"

It shows that the BRT6 method is not reached. Probably due to incorrect "OS Check Fix" patch.
You can use ACPIDebug to trace methods further up in the call chain to determine what is going on.

Hi rehab man, i did read the guide, i did a fresh install & using my DSDT before, i am able to control the brightness using the correct keys which is fn+up/down arrows. but it doesn't show the brightness icon on the screen. and the existing brightness keys which is (fn+insert & f3) is still let me control the brightness with the icon showing for brightness :/

If your brightness keys do not show the on screen indication, then it is your BIOS/EC/DSDT handling it, not OS X.
You need to use ACPIDebug.kext to determine which ACPI methods to patch.

Hi, I'm sorry for the intrusion. I have an dell e6230 i5 3360m, but I can not reach the installation of Sierra, nor even El Capitan. Can I ask you to pass the efi folder with your config? Thanks so much

Off-topic.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html
The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"
