Thanks for the prompt reply. Bios is updated and power management is fully functional. Some E6540 laptops have a hardware issue and cpu runs at base speed if ac cable is removed or they wake up on battery, I have a feeling mine belongs to this group so I don't see any way of fixing this...

Hi, I was away for a bit and couldn't check. For the past week I've tried all possible variations, with or without DellSensors(it is not updated btw but figured I don't really need it anyway as I'm not touching the fan speed which seems to be the only thing this kext does), removed SMCSuperIO...

Hi, I used your EFI to do a clean Big Sur install, everything went pretty much smoothly, but after a few days of use I'm experiencing the following things that are driving me mad: Battery reading is erratic. Sometimes it will be correct, others it will be completely off(as in show it's got 0...

That was it! Thank you very much, enjoy your holidays:)

Thanks for the reply, I'm away now but I'll try again after I'm back in a few days.

Hi all, I'm trying to do a fresh install of 10.15.7 with open core on my Asus x99a-ii, but no matter what I change I get stuck in a screen with the console and a message that the installer can't continue. In the error logs the only notable thing is an app termination due to 'NSRangeException'...

If you're using Catalina, system drive is read-only by default. Easiest way to circumvent this is to download Hackintool, go to Tools tab, press the "disable gatekeeper" button at the bottom, then install the had patch.

Sorry, just to clarify so I don't fry the chip. Do I connect the 3.3v pin from RPi to pin 1 of Winbond, together with pin 24(CE0)? Pin 1 already goes to pin 8(VCC on wb).

Are you referring to pin 1 on RPi or Winbond side? I got pin 1(3.3v) on RPi going to pin 8 of wb. After the flash attempt reading the bin files using the strings command brings back nothing, whereas before they were not empty, different checksums but at least not empty. I will do the wiring from...

No cigar unfortunately. The card is seen with the capacitor, checksums don't match and attempting to flash it gives errors. Any way to brute-force a write or something? Windows is still unable to do a firmware update and card is useless anyway so I don't mind trying more risky roads.

@CaseySJ I finally received the SOIC8 clip for my Rpi and proceeded to flashing my ASUS TB3 EX. Unfortunately the windbond chip doesn't get recognised, I triple-checked my connections and it is all good there. Anything else I can try?

Bummer about the HDMI, I hadn't noticed and just saw that I have the same issue, I have no clue as to why it happened as I don't really remember how many changes I did when I switched from 11,1 to 11,5, I hardly ever keep track of them in both my hacks. I need HDMI as well but have 0 time to...

Here's my 11,5 EFI folder and alc patch attached, have fun! I keep CodecCommander.kext in L/E

given that the card is in this dubious state, I wonder if it will pass the checksum, should I worry about that? Do I first try to flash it with an untouched Asus firmware and then once it is back to normal go for the modified one? Do I even need the modified one if HotPlug and bus can be...

Hehe, that would be quite something indeed:) I had removed the card a few hours prior as it doesn't need to be there if it doesn't work. I shut down, put it back in, booted without the SSDT out of curiosity, and yes, bus was there...

I can't really help you with that, I picked up things here and there and mostly change/add few lines in SSDTs I find around, never did one from scratch:)

I was thinking of flashing with the original Asus firmware, not a modified one, but anyway I only have windows in case something goes wrong with OSX(never happened) so I don't mind the card not working when cold booted. I'm attaching TB bus and IOReg with and without SSDT. I find it very...

I got the DSDT from Clover with F2 The card stopped working about 6 months ago and I believe in my attempts to fix it I downloaded the wrong firmware from Intel's site and not Asus's and somehow did the update, I'm not 100% sure about this but do recall doing something that stupid. Now in...

I used 11,1 SMBIOS with the EFI I posted, switched to 11,5 since and the system is overall more stable, I don't remember what else I changed and won't be near my laptop for another 2 weeks but when I do I'll post my new EFI. I'm using a patch for the headphones that I found recently and it...

@CaseySJ Hi and honestly thanks for the fantastic work on Thunderbolt. Sorry for highjacking the thread, I understand my board is different, yet I'm using an SSDT from your repository and need some help. My board is an ASUS X99a-ii, with a Thunderbolt EX3 plugged in SB slot 2(I have a RAID...
