[Guide] Dell XPS 9560 Mojave VirtualSMC, I2C Trackpad, Clover UEFI Hotpatch

[Libertov]

OK was able to finally get into the OS with the help of LeLunZ's help with his clover. Still having some boot issues. My system bypasses Clover boot and goes straight to Windows. I copied over the clover from the boot usb but still nothing...Thoughts?

Just delete Or place Windows from your boot sequenze in the bios (after the clover config). And add the right clover Efi file.

After update to Catalina, my Darkintosh lost the camera and bluetooth. Anyone faced with that problems too?

Ok, so there is also a new BRCMPatchRAM3 which is mentioned here:

BrcmPatchRAM2 for 10.15 Catalina (Broadcom bluetooth firmware upload)

www.insanelymac.com

this is the git repo:
https://github.com/Mieze/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM-Catalina

In short, its a fork of headkaze's version and he dumped a lot of obsolete code and restructured it's architecture from scratch.

So, my Bluetooth is working perfectly fine. Airdrop also works, but Handoff doesn't work for me. Could someone confirm this?

So just got everything up and running and its working great on Catalina. Thanks LeLunz for the assist. I do have 1 minor minor thing, and its more cosmetic than anything else. on my clover screen the actual wallpaper is very tiny any way to make it take up the whole screen? i added a photo so you can see what i am talking about

Do you have the 4k Version?

Just open config.plist from Clover folder and try to remove the whole dict with the key BootGraphics!
And then try again. Or play with these settings if it doesn't work?

I am using all 3 kexts and its working pretty well.
Are you sure that you can connect to devices with your bluetooth setup?


EDIT:
Like noted in a post before. There is a new fork of RehabMan's BRCMPatchRam.

BrcmPatchRAM2 for 10.15 Catalina (Broadcom bluetooth firmware upload)

I'm just going to run through some of the changes I made to RehabMan's BrcmPatchRAM project for it to function in macOS Catalina. I don't really have time to go any further with it but hopefully my research and testing can help get an official working version out. I'm using BrcmFirmwareData.kext,...

Sorry you are perfectly right, all the 3 kext need to be installed in EFI/CLOVER/Kext/Other since Catalina.

Could you please describe your doing steps?

I tried but neither place those 3 kexts to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other nor install to L/E using kextbeast solve the problem,
Firmware Version still v14 c4096 in system report.

EMERGENCY. No idea what to do. Didn’t install the kexts properly and now it fails to load VoodooI2CHIdevice. Can’t boot into the machine anywhere in any way.
