[Guide] Dell XPS 13 9360 on MacOS Sierra 10.12.x - LTS (Long-Term Support) Guide

[RehabMan]

Haven't been following this really closely, but I've just noticed that updating Clover to v4344 breaks my wifi.
The last known working build (that I've compiled at least) is v4302. Still on 10.12.6; not sure if anyone else has seen this.

You probably have a mistake in the patch (KextsToPatch entry/Name) you're using for WiFi.
Check what you have against the target kext bundle identifier.

I had the same problem with WiFi. It is caused by a change in Clover concerning kext patching. (See Ticket #423 on sourceforge)

To fix the problem you have to change the kext to its full name. For example rename AirPortBrcm4360 to com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360.

Thanks - I hadn't caught that. Reading the changelogs in Clover, v4317 makes explicit matches to the target kext bundle, not the binary. Changing Brcm4360 -> com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360 solved the issue.

Hey, I've got an XPS 9360 with the 8th Gen Core i5 (http://www.dell.com/sg/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd?oc=w51785743sgw10&model_id=xps-13-9360-laptop). I tried installing High Sierra with this Clover repository (https://github.com/syscl/XPS9350-macOS) got it to boot and everything but it kernel panics, I'm guessing because it's an unsupported CPU?

Here's a pic of the crash in verbose mode: https://i.imgur.com/k9pgQOb.jpg

Is there anything I can try that will make the installer work? Thanks.

Thanks, I get a little further using that Clover setup, but it only gets a about 30 seconds into loading before it restarts again. The instructions are a little vague, I can't figure out how to set up the UEFI Variables and I can't tell whether these changes are made in the version of Clover in the repo or if I have to make the changes myself, I'm thinking the latter but I'm not sure.

Yeah I tried the clover from that repo after azlvda posted it.

I can't figure out how to edit the EFI BIOS variables with the supplied Shell64U.efi and the "setupvar" command, the command doesn't exist, is there a specific way I have to boot into that shell? Because I used the EFI Shell option in the clover menu to navigate to where Shell64U.efi and executed it that way, doesn't seem to work.

Sorry im not too familiar with this stuff, can I get any steps on changing the EFI BIOS variables? Thanks.

If i remember correctly, the command is "setup_var" not "setupvar". And maybe complete your profile with your machine details, so that other forum members know ur hardware, possibly provide u with the help u needed .

I've tried setup_var, setupvar, and setvar, setvar works but doesn't let me change the values it says, the other two aren't recognized as commands, doesn't appear in the help section either. No idea what I'm doing wrong.
