Thanks for the great details. I've been meaning to install 10.13 one of these days, and this should help me. I put a bunch of details and code for 10.11 at https://github.com/gfoury/X1C-G3-DSDT-Patch which is also somewhere in the forums. Once I catch up, I'll do a rev.

Probably following the guide in the OP: "This guide does not cover the subject, but a good choice for ProductName is MacBookAir7,2." All I got out of the MacBook board-id back when I tried it was trouble, because of things like the frequency vectors--the machine is highly tuned for power and...

The latest Clover has a necessary fix for newer kernels on certain CPUs (eg Broadwell). Could you try installing new Clover to a thumb drive and see if that can boot the machine?

Yeah, you can specify multiple .aml files to check-dsdt-patches.py, and it dumps them all separately to a destination directory if the directory is given. Agreed. I still think people who are building config.plists for multiple machines are probably focusing on one machine at a time; I was. So...

People working on hotpatching may find my utilities useful. https://github.com/gfoury/clover-config-plist-tools check-dsdt-patches.py checks how many times a patch applies (zero is bad). It also can produce the results of hot-patching DSDT.aml, so you can examine them in iASL or in a hex...

The version of Clover available on Sourceforge now includes this fix.

I think there is a very limited set of machines that can render above 4k. The iMac 5K is the only one that comes to mind, and that has discrete video. I have a 2560x1440 13" screen, so I need some kind of scaling. Retina renders stuff at double rez. I am not willing to run at 1280x720 logical...

Thank you. This Clover update lets me install the 2017-03 update on my i5-5200U.

I'm starting to wonder whether the "black screen until power button pressed" symptom we were seeing was *also* the fault of a bad connector table.

Could somebody move this thread to the OS X Updates forum? That's where I would look first, not in installation.

You can guess why I'm here. This update worked fine on one machine (Gigabyte Z87 mATX i7-4770K iGPU) which gave me enough confidence to break the Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 3 (full details of EFI config in github). Quick summary: i5-5200U, 8G, settable video ram size. 2560x1440 display on eDP, so...

Thanks for adding that--I forgot I should spread the news here after your guide worked so well for me!

This sounds a lot like what I saw on the 800MHz Core M on 10.11, before we had the right platform-id and the right connector mapping. My best theory at the time was that the jerkiness was that the eDP display wasn't really "plugged in" properly according to the connector map, and the GPU was...

My Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 3 (2560x1440) has a similar problem, where I get backlight but an all-black-pixel display. I noticed that if I left it there long enough, the backlight would turn off (energy saver). And then I could press Shift or something to wake it from the screen blanker, and have...

BTW, I am still alive. I figured I would wait for the first pioneers to the sierra to get the arrows shot in their backs before plunging in again....

What are your USB settings in BIOS? I'm only injecting USB properties for XHC (the others are commented out), so if your devices are ending up on EHC1, I don't know what will happen--possibly the kind of complaint you're getting. RehabMan: I guess I need to do custom UsbConnectors at some...

Although it works great on OS X, the BCM94352Z is broken on Windows and Linux on the Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 3, for reasons jcsnider and I haven't quite been able to figure out. The T450 seems very similar to the X1C Gen 3. While I hope the card works on the T450 in Windows and Linux, I would...

Definitely post EFI/CLOVER. If you can't boot, it might be useful to post /Library/Extensions (all of the things from install_downloads.sh are installed there.)

I filed an issue for this. If you'd like to work on it, the file to look at is ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext/Contents/Info.plist, starting at FingersPress. I think you need to "sudo touch /Library/Extensions; sudo kextcache -u /" after editing. sushivillage did some work on the mapping; I'll see...

The "tools/" subdirectory is on the path too, just in case you want to keep it all self-contained. I think none of the stuff in the "build on another mac" phase requires admin rights.
