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

Enter hex data between < and > in Xcode. It will convert to base64 automatically.

is AQAAdRc the hex data? because I did try to put that inside the "<>" that Xcode give me but just showed me the error again. I would try again just to be sure, tho.

Edit: It didn't work again :C

The data you're entering is not hex.
It is base64.
You cannot directly enter base64 with Xcode plist editor.

On top of that, the data you're entering is wrong anyway.
The guide has a link to the plist with the patch (it is in config_patches.plist).

Ok, so it should look a little more like this, right?


but how do I know the hex data?

UPDATE: The screen garbling got a huge improvement. It seems almos perfect. I did this:

eg. in KextsToPatch:
Comment: Boot graphics glitch, 10.12.dp1 (credit denskop)
MatchOS: 10.12.6
Name: IOGraphicsFamily
Find: <01000075 25>
Replace: <010000eb 25>

I would keep following this guides: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/readme-common-some-unsolved-problems-in-10-12-sierra.202316/

Also, a question. Is it recomended to upgrade to High Sierra? Is it more trouble or less trobule?

Thanks once again!

Depends on the issue you're trying to solve.

Your decision.

Hi! I have follow this guide (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...rol-using-applebacklightinjector-kext.218222/) and my blacklight control won't work.

My problem may be that my computer is Sony, but i can't change the product-id in the EDID data to 0x9c7c:

How do I manage to change it?

I booted, rebuild cache, and rebooted, but i don't see anything diffrent. here's a few screenshots of my work:



Also and actually more important: my microphone port won't detect any mic. I would love a guide to solve it!

I'm sharing my config.plist with in this post.

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

UPDATE: My brightness is now fully working. I was using the wrong EFI file. Am I the only who has 2 of them? I think I should erase the "fake" one, but i don't know how important it actually is. I marked it red so I don't waist 6 hours of my time and also some of yours never again...
