Acer Aspire R5-571T-57Z0 (HHD replaced with SSD, native Wi-Fi with DW1560)

How to install:

1. Move EFI folder to the EFI partition of your flash drive with MacOS
2. After installing MacOS run it and find out your EFI partition with "diskutil list", then mount it with "diskutil mount <IDENTIFIER>"
3. run EFI/CLOVER/Additional/RUN_ME! (move this file into the terminal)
4. Reboot
5. If there's audio (you can change volume), then run EFI/CLOVER/Additional/THEN_RUN_ME_AFTER_REBOOT!
   otherwise, reboot again and if there's audio, then run this file

Everything works fine except:

• FN brightness – use menu key or try to fix that (don't forget to share )
• For FileVault2 you need an external keyboard.
• Sometimes there's no sound after sleep – Put in & put out your headphones back (or vice versa) OR sleep again.
• Sometimes there's no sound after reboot – Just reboot again.

Not tested:

• HDMI
• SD card reader

Prerequisites for High Sierra:
-------------------------------

config.plist:
CsrActiveConfig = 0x267
Arguments += -disablegfxfirmware
??Change KextsToPatch Brcm names to “AirPortBrcm4360”??

drivers64UEFI:
apfs.efi for the macOS version

kexts:
Update to the latest versions
======================================================
Kexts with modified info.plist:
-------------------------------

* CodecCommander
CodecCommander -> Codec Profile -> Realtek ALC283,etc
* ACPIBatteryManager
FirstPollDelay = 10000
* ApplePS2SmartTouchPad
I don't know. Should I update this kext?
======================================================

Now I use 10.12.6.
Yes, it works with High Sierra, but I don't use it because it's unstable. Maybe later I'll share with you EFI folder for 10.13.6.

UPD. EFI folder for 10.13.6 is added: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...native-wi-fi-with-dw1560.245631/#post-1791177

Hi,
I will be glad if you share the High Sierra EFI folder for this laptop, I cannot get brightness to work properly.

13.6

Keep in mind no one can use this as it has patched ACPI (ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml), which is specific to your machine only.
Also, brightness is not implemented correctly anyway.

Even with my laptop model?! That's sad, didn't know that.

Maybe. But it works for me and I can change it without any problems.

Still not correct.

Do you think Catalina is possible?

Do you think Catalina is possible?

That's what I am about to try

Will the EFI originally posted work with 10.13.6 or Mojave/Catalina?
