[Guide] Dell Inspiron 13 5379 (2-in-1) - MacOS 10.14.1 VirtualSMC, I2C Trackpad

[favoriti]

It just hangs on end random seed with open core and favoritis efi... So much for a magical easy transition haha

Hi, i had this boot issue at the beginning, in my case it has been solved by setting :
AppleXcpmCfgLock and AppleCpuPmCfgLock to TRUE (should be in the providedEFI)

i am going to upload an EFI updated to OC 0.5.7, in the day maybe this version will help

Friend, can you please share your uefi folder to me, to correct some errors that I have with vanilla and catalina 10.15.4

Here is an updated OpenCore 0.5.7 EFI booting both 10.14.6 and 10.15.4

Important notes about the EFI :

1. ACPI Patches are basically a clover hot patches implementation - they are not OS independent
   1. I2C trackpad : as TgtBridge method is not supported with OC I switched to the extra byte method for targeting _CRS and _STA in TPD0 and GPIO -> the patches will need to be adapted for other laptop hardware (will not work in state)
2. I am still working on removing the _OSI->XOSI and OSID->XSID patches (but have one last issue with the BRT6 patch ...)
3. platformInfo->generic : to be filled in with your own values : MLB, SUUID, SN, ROM (for the ROM value I have stetted my NIC address and everything is OK like that)
4. I have some kexts installed in L/E I did not moved to the OC folder : USBInjectAll.kext, BrcmPatchRAM2.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
   1. add the extra kexts you need into the OC/Kexts folder and mind to enable them in the OC config.plist kernel section

I'm guessing your 3 & 4 are required to be modified in order to ensure a boot? haha- straight copy-paste didn't work sadly- guess my time of being lazy is over.

not sure - probably this can not be done at post installation - but it is a very quick step to copy / paste the clover MLB, SUUID, , SN values and check the missing kexts

friend thank you very much, it helped me a lot. most devices served, only needed bluetooth, I have not managed to make it work.

Damn, I'm having 0 luck getting this to boot on either the existing 10.14.6 install or the Catalina Installer USB- If I boot oepncore from the USB it doesn't even show itself :joy:

In the BIOS laptop boot menu -> add the path to BOOTx64.efi on your USB stick

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Nono, I mean, opencore will start, but it doesn't see the installer USB at all

Thanks, I am new to it all but used your EFI and after 2-3 days of hardwork managed to get Mojave on my 5379 working, specs are identical to yours. However, am I right in thinking that this can be upgraded to Catalina? What steps would I need to perform to update to Catalina? Any new files or kexts to be installed? As much help will be appreciated.
