<< Solved >> Can't disable fingerprint sensor Dell Vostro 5471 catalina

[almobda2012]

hello guys thank you for every help you make here

I have Dell Vostro 5471
I have successfully install Catalina and most of the device is working fine after many tweaking and patching but I have problem with the fingerprint sensor I couldn't disable it.

I tried using Usbinjectall remapping using RehabMan guide (thanks) and the sensor still working and draining the battery I have tried uia_exclude=HS09; because my fingerprint at HS09. I install usbinjectall.kext at L/E.

And also the brightness keys are fn+s and fn+b
for brightness I use ioio and acpidebug with DSDT patching non of them show the brightness keys at syslog .
thank you very much

you have set IinjectKexts to Yes in config.plist

this means you need to have all your kexts installed to clover/kexts/other (missing USBInjectAll.kext in clover

or you can install all your kexts you need to /Library/Extensions (for some reason you have only installed a few kexts in there)

How and where to install kexts:

[GUIDE] Installing 3rd Party Kexts - El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina

Installing 3rd Party Kexts in /Library/Extensions Note: This guide was originally written to support MacOS Mojave and older versions (< r5200) of the Clover boot-loader. The methods detailed here are now considered legacy methods and should only used with older versions of MacOS as detailed...

thank you for replay
so its better to install all kext at L/E and set IinjectKexts to no. from the guide I must keep fakesmc and Ethernet?
the reason that I didn't install kext at L/E I thought that clover kext load first

2 ways

keep all 3rd party kexts in clover/kexts/other and set InjectKexts -> Yes

or

install all 3rd party kexts to /L/E and set InjectKexts -> Detect
also keep only essential kexts in clover/kexts/other ie FakeSMC, lilu, whatevergreen and VoodooPS2Controller

you may try making this:

<key>Fixes</key>
            <dict>
                <key>Comment-IRQ Fix</key>
                <string>The following fixes may be needed for onboard audio/USB/etc</string>
                <key>FixAirport</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixHDA</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixHPET</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixIPIC</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixRTC</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixTMR</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>

look like:

<key>Fixes</key>
            <dict>
                <key>Comment-IRQ Fix</key>
                <string>The following fixes may be needed for onboard audio/USB/etc</string>       
                <key>FixHPET</key>
                <true/>
                <key>FixIPIC</key>
                <true/>
                <key>FixRTC</key>
                <true/>
                <key>FixTMR</key>
                <true/>
            </dict>

also you are missing SSDT-XOSI.aml in acpi/patched folder

try enabling this:

<key>PluginType</key>
                <false/>

and remove SSDT-XCPM.aml from acpi/patched folder

try enabling Inject here:

<key>USB</key>
        <dict>
            <key>AddClockID</key>
            <true/>
            <key>FixOwnership</key>
            <true/>
            <key>Inject</key>
            <false/>
        </dict>

most importantly, enable this:

<key>DellSMBIOSPatch</key>
        <false/>

if that still doesn't work, try using hackintool to setup your ports and remove the port that way
