Fixing my Vaio Fit 15E. (Can't get my Intel HD Graphics 4400 to work properly.)

[CesarV]

I have a few days trying to get my Vaio Fit 15E to work with Mac Sierra. This is my first Hackintosh.
My laptop specifications are as shown in my profile. At this time, I have 10.12.3 and I boot with multi-beast.

My problem can be resume to this: I want this computer to run Final Cut, when I start it, it tells me that my graphics configuration doesn't work.

Now, my Mac have seem to detect them just fine since "about this Mac" shows "Intel HD Graphics 4400 4 MB". It used to show 1500+ MB before, but I have re-instaled Sierra 10.12.3 like 7 times. Usually, the first thing I'll do after every installation is to upgrade it to 10.12.6, which would fix the MB shown on "about this Mac" but even then, when the MB where about right, Final Cut Would not work.

The problem isn't by Final Cut alone, of course. Every time I log in, this happens:


With or without Sierra updated things like this keep happening with every app even tho my computer still quite functional or else I wouldn't be able to write this. Another example is Spotify which is nothing but a black screen.

This is my config.plist in my EFI partition which I changed according to this post: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/read-me-first-graphics-setup-troubleshooting.183617/

</dict>
<key>Graphics</key>
<dict>
<key>Inject</key>
<dict>
<key>ATI</key>
<false/>
<key>Intel</key>
<true/>
<key>NVidia</key>
<false/>

I feel like I'm making this longer that what you may need. Any information you need I will provide.
Pls help me, I'm quite lost.

P.T: I'm also willing to change hardware of my laptop (if necessary to fix this), recommendations are welcome.
Final Cut X version is 10.3.1

Not a desktop. Moved to laptop support.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html
The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"

Thanks very much for your atention! I already booted with Clover but i can see that i might missed some things. I would follow the guied and also improve my profile. When i finish, if the problems persist, i would provide the EFI/Clover folder as requested.

Only 2 questions before I continue with the guide.
1. Should I update my sierra before staring or do I leave it at 10.12.6? Edit: 10.12.3
2. How do i know my motherboard? I didn't quite get that part in the FAQ. This is my laptop: https://docs.sony.com/release//specs/SVF15325CL_mksp_ES.pdf (is in espanish)

Does not matter.
Read the guide to get a known good config.plist with correct graphics settings.

2. How do i know my motherboard? I didn't quite get that part in the FAQ. This is my laptop: https://docs.sony.com/release//specs/SVF15325CL_mksp_ES.pdf (is in espanish)

The FAQ does not request motherboard info anywhere.

Update.

I installed the kexts FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext and FakePCIID.kext, changed my plist to config_HD5000_5100_5200.plist and added HFSPlus.efi and now it works better than ever! I can run Final Cut with no problem.

Now I only have to fix the screen garbling as well the bright keys and my sound being a little low, but I believe all of those problems are linked here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
I will continue to update this post so if someone with a computer like mine happened to have the same problems maybe this could help.

Thanks!

Your ioreg shows QE/CI not working, due to incorrect graphics configuration.

Your ioreg shows QE/CI not working, due to incorrect graphics configuration.

That ioreg was uploaded before I added HFSPlus.efi in to my UEFI drivers. My computer laptop was feeling like a total mess and I was about to describe my situation but then I noticed I missed that file and decided to restart my laptop.

I have added the current ioreg as realioreg.ioreg How is it?

This ioreg shows QE/CI working (Clover is likely injecting the correct FakeID for you).

Hi, I've been trying to fix the screen garbling following this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-resolve-boot-screen-garble.175799/

This quote caught my attention; "This patch is already present, but disabled, in the plist files available from my Clover guide".
I couldn't find such patch so I tried to added the patch manually with Xcode but failed as when I get to <data>AQAAdRc=</data> Xcode tells me that I can't do that. Being honest I don't know what those AQAAdRc numbers and letter are all about.
Maybe the patch is actually there but I can't find it so I can't enable it.

Also, I read that fixing my battery is one of the most important things I should do, but since my laptops battery doesn't work, is it still that important? I just want to fix the brightness for now till I buy a new battery.

Current plist file is attached.
