[Guide] Dell XPS 9530 using Clover UEFI

Updated to Yosemite 10.10.3, the only thing required is re-patching the IOKit framework.

This is easiest done when booting using an external monitor, as the external display will work fine without patching.

Just re-run --patch-iokit to patch the IOKit framework and reboot.

Good to hear that you got it working for you darkvoid unfortunately I havent had the same success. I just completed my re-install on an msata card yesterday and ran the update not realizing it was 10.10.3. I had no problem with the patching of the iokit as it was successful but havent been able to get back in the machine.

Right now the current behavior is two different things

1) Theres a panic error that comes up the first time it happens after it just goes to the distorted apple screen and reboots. Then once the bootloop starts I get the error (Your computer restarted because of a problem error) it will then restart and act like it will boot up and then reboot.

Here is a copy of the panic IMG_20150409_135040.jpg

Here is the actual problem details from the problem report.

2) The other error occurs when I try to use any of the troubleshooting steps for example, verbose, without cache and without injected. When I use any of these I get a crossed out circle when it boots up, from my research it was said to try to run a disk permissions check. I have done that but to no avail at this time.

I am using the latest git as of today I wonder if I needed to do something else after I patched the iokit.

Still working trying to figure out what is going on. I can still get in if I use my bootable usb so I can still make changes.

If you have any advice to try I would appreciate it.
 
Ensure your nvidia card is properly disabled in DSDT.
Also try booting without anything in HDMI / DP, you might have an AppleHDA HDMI hot-plug issue.

So I have been working on it and here are my findings,

1) I originally thought that it was I was updating from 10.10 to 10.10.3 from the appstore so I tried to run the combo update directly and the issue was the same.

2) I tried to update to 10.10.2 and patch, the problem was the same however I was able to use safe mode and see the distored view like in this post

but wasnt able to get much further than that.


To answer your question about the Nvidia card I confirmed that the SSDT-15.aml was patched via the script (file size is 5kb) and that the config.plist has been set to turn it off. My config.plist is exactly the same as your github I have not made any modifications to this basic install except for one thing:

as the same as spud and ravic I had to make this change in order for my initial installation to work.

For the HDMI question there is no HDMI being used I did try it last night and the video works but get no audio from it, says there are no control options for it or something like that I will look into that later.

Thanks for the insight so far.
 
Hello,

Does the NVidia GeForce 750M 2GB graphics card still work?

Thanks!
 
First, thanks for the guide! I got the usb made but when I tried to install, it would ask me to connect to the internet? I can't do that since I have the Intel card. Also I notice the installer says 'reinstall' instead of 'install'. I got the disk image from the app store and its not an update one.

Does anyone have insight about this? Thanks!
 
I would be careful updating to A08 bios if it is not required:
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19622012

Personally I have not updated since the only added functionality is DBAR (Dell Backup something support), which I do not use since I replaced and wiped the main HDD.

But I assume the exact same method as on A07 still applies to A08, confirmation is welcome.
 
Hey, did you made any progress regarding the way the new iMac's work (im talking about display and not needing the pixel patch we are using) ?
