Building a H4ckint0sh after I sold my 2010 iMac - seeking help and advice

[pastrychef]

Including what P1LGRIM has pointed out, I also have "nvda_drv=1" checked.

You cannot expect the Nvidia drivers to work if you disable them :

And if you want to use Nvidia, why are you injecting Intel ?

AWESOME! It just works! Now, I need to figure out USB/Audio and lastly Wifi/BT. If it's not a problem for you, I will refer to your kind help guys @pastrychef and @P1LGRIM

Take a moment to fill out your profile :

Done that!

Now to the Wifi/BT. I assume that there is a problem with enabling this "easily" in macOS now and I'm really very bad at this complicated stuff. However, I'm going to give it a shot.

I followed this guide but no Wifi/BT for me. I am certain, that the problem is trivial for you guys, but I'm struggling hard. Please advise. Thanks.

I can't find the entries to be patched...

Should I add the text manually?

 

[pastrychef]

It can be done in TextEdit. Copy and paste the patch in to your config.plist,

or you can add the patch using Clover Configurator. You must click the add button to start:

Then fill in each field as explained in the guide.

Did that...to no avail. BT works (worked before I inserted the patch like you said).

Attaching my config file for reference.

Try this one...

Nothing...and Btw, it seems I lost USB in the process...Will try to resolve.

EDIT: To be specific, USB3 devices are not working. Don't know what caused this.

EDIT2: Got the USB3 Superspeed going by following this guide

Still pending the Wifi fix...someone please help! Thanks.

EDIT3: Found a solution! there is a topic on the insanelymac forum that had 3 patches and after applying them, I got my Wifi working

EDIT4: iMessage working OOB (dont know why), AirDrop + Handoff + watch unlock are the next steps for me. Now, restoring apps and home from my iMac Time Machine backup - is there something to look out for?
