Dell XPS 12 9Q23: Yosemite 10.10 Almost Working (Clover Install)

Hey, just wondering if you still have this laptop up and running?

Just bought a second hand one and wanted to get it hacked. I did a dell mini 10v updated to 10.6.8 and dual boot win 7, so I figured I can take this on...

Just wondering if you got el cap working and any information you can provide to help set it up. I will try and use your clover file first and see what happens.

Been looking at multiple guides for awhile. I'll let you know how it goes

Wow, didn't think it would be so hard to boot to even the installer screen. Prohib sign sometimes, sometimes lockups. I'm trying the inspiron 3x37 guide that's out there, nope on the booting, both el cap and yosemite. Was hoping xcaret would come in here for a quick sec to help.

I've read the clover installer back and forth for laptops. Just getting stuck on getting to the installer... Not so many guides / config.plist out there for the Dell XPS 12 9q23

Just wanted to post an update

Got 10.11.6 installed!!!

Took awhile for the right config file and the right kexts,

So the only thing missing thou is the Realtek Audio and the Cyprus Trackpad (want to be able to just tap instead of click)

I'll post pics and such in awhile, just looking for any help on audio support? maybe even trackpad?

Tried the basic AppleHDA.kext and the configurator thats out there, also tried a cyprus version of the voodoo trackpad, no dice.

Let me know if anyone is following this thread to help a guy out - super excited to use this badboy as a touchscreen Mac

Could you share your EFI folder? Thanks,

Just a new update - been playing for a long time. Errors on cypress trackpad kext, but will update my setup now...

I have 10.12.1 latest installed now. Did the built-in upgrade (downloaded Sierra from other Mac, and copied to desktop and installed)

Bought and installed the BCM94352HMB - installed the 4 kexts and then added the certain fix for 5ghz to my config file (confirmed connecting to my Airport Extreme AC router )

Audio was an issue as didn't figure out why the VoodooHDA wasn't loading (it was the AppleHDA sitting there being weird, deleted that, then boom audio)

Function keys work for volume / play-pause / backlight

Installed Brightness Fix to clover/config file for brightness slider / keyboard keys

Bluetooth working as per the WiFi guide (Tested with MagicMouse connected to it)

Airplay support with Apple TV 4 confirmed video+audio / AirDrop sends/receives (sent picture from iPhone)

Didn't need the touchscreen driver from TouchBase as the USB touchscreen works fine

Followed the iMessage guide to get a legit serial number entered into SMBIOS

Null Ethernet installed and SSDT patched for EN0 - therefore App Store can sign in / iMessage works

Downloaded the touchbar app (for the new MacBook pro's) and set it to open with the touch of the windows key on the display Works flawless on the touchscreen

Custom configured Clover boot entries to hide the recovery partitions and setup only Windows 10 and Mac Sierra (dual boot)

Installed the windows time fix to set universal so it doesn't change Mac time on restart

Only thing left is the cypress trackpad, can't scroll or tap to click (using the touchscreen or magic mouse so doesn't really matter...

If anyone needs anything from me, let me know - Thank you Rehabman for all the great guides, and your kexts, they're invaluable.

Don't think I need anything else

*Posting config for anyone who wants to take a look for my specific system*
*Pics are different settings to see it setup, about/system config/touchbar. Can provide more if needed*
