has anyone tried patching the A11 bios? dell already has an updated bios version. does bios a11 work?

ok, thanks rehabman

hi rehabman, another question about hotpatching. i understand that with braveknight's method, it uses hotpataching and it is better. i was following another guide for a different laptop https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-dell-xps-9530-clover-uefi-hotpatch.235558/ the guide from...

here is what worked for me. i have a dell m3800 with A09 bios, screen resolution is 3200x1800, i installed osx 10.13.3. making this post for future reference for myself, in case i have to reinstall, and for people who's also having problems getting in to the installation page. this is for...

finally made it to the installer page :) changed a bunch of things, will remove them one by one to check which one made it to work. thanks @RehabMan for pointing me to the right direction, used the provided config.plist again, opened it and saw .aml files listed, same files that are in the...

@RehabMan , my first post with error reporting contained the plist provided in post #1. but you said I didn't follow your guide, and when you saw my plist is not from your guide, you did not bother checking the rest of it, that's the reason why i didn't use the plist provided in post#1 this...

i have unlocked the bios, and set DVMT-prealloc to 128mb, then also tried 160mb

hi @RehabMan , i used your 4600_4400_4200 plist. DVMT pre-alloc is 128mb, also tried 160mb, same results would get this verbose screen, then blank screen with blinking cursor, blinking every 30 seconds, lasted for more than 10 minutes, then a blank screen without back light.

ok, got it. it's a hard drive where i installed el capitan with a recovery partition last year. i erased the whole hard drive using the built-in disk utility while in the installation page. ok, i get what you mean, maybe the hidden recovery partition is still there. thanks for the info...

am i not supposed to use the dark-void's installation config.plist? which one should i use? config_HD4600_4400_4200.plist? i already tried that as well, still doesn't work i know plist files are in your guide, but i always thought i should use plist depending on the system. most guides...

APFS.efi? in the drivers64UEFI folder, there are a lot more files than: FSInject-64.efi HFSPLus.efi OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi should i leave them there? or should there be only those 4 files? also, for the XPS 9530, i seee a lot of users using OsxAptioFixDrv2-64.efi, this...

but i used the same install_el-capitan.app, same one i used last year. only difference now is, newer clover, so i thought maybe it has something to do with that. anyway, you're right, it works, was just wondering why

i did, i followed the same guide for z50-70, and i have successfully installed el capitan in my z50-70. i believe only difference is the config.plist, the kexts and which options to choose in clover. i'll try doing it again, will follow step by step in case i missed anything

hi @the-braveknight and @RehabMan , i recently reinstalled el capitan to my z50-70, used the same guide, i changed from ssd to regular hdd. rehabman's guide in making the usb installer and braveknight's guide for post installation, also used braveknight's repo for hotpatching, i believe there...

hi @RehabMan , yes that's the guide i followed. did i not make it properly? is it lilu.kext and intelgraphicsfixit.kext? because it says, it's for For 10.12.5 and HD515/HD520/HD530/HD615/HD620/HD630

hi @RehabMan , need a little help please having problems installing high sierra my system is an m3800, 4702hq processor, 16gb ram, 3200x1800 touchscreen, on bios version a09 I have some trouble to boot on the high sierra installation... - My bios is patched, and all settings are as...

hi @mopi did you still use the createinstallmedia method? or did you switch to basebinary method? is lilu required in EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/OTHERS in the installation usb? thanks

took the plunge and just modded the bios, i've got the hidden menus now. flashed modded bios, even if my bios' unmodded MD5 does not match dark void's. i'm on bios version A09
