[Guide] HackrNVMeFamily co-existence with IONVMeFamily using class-code spoof

[Manintosh]

Big thanks to @RehabMan and @Macincrash for all your help, I got everything done. But there is one more thing, how do I prepare the USB before installation to M.2 drive?

Big thanks to @RehabMan and @Macincrash for all your help, I got everything done. But there is one more thing, how do I prepare the USB before installation to M.2 drive?

As per post #1, this method applies to the USB installer:
- SSDT in ACPI/patched
- HackrNVMeFamily kext (generated with --spoof option) in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other

Successfully make my PM951 NVMe SAMSUNG working, thanks a ton RehabMan.
FYI, I've patched DSTD before and replaced all existed _DSM, so if combine with Clover patch to replace _DSM, it will ends up with this error:

Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"@/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-3789.21.4/iokit/kernel/IOPlatformExpert.com:1667

So I have to leave the clover patch out for it to work.
Hope can help others like me.

Yes... _DSM->XDSM patch would be incompatible with anyone doing static patching of ACPI files.
I have added a note to that effect in post #1.

Hi @RehabMan

Thanks for your guides, they have enabled me to get my 960 Pro 1TB working on my system after deleting IONVMeFamily.kext and installing the HackrNVMeFamily 10.12.1 kext. I have been able to get Sierra to see the drive and format it, however before I clone my hard drive over to the 960, I really want to make it show up as an internal drive.

Is there a good step by step instruction somewhere? Or a clover patch? Thank you!

Thank you @RehabMan for taking the time to make a guide.I ordered a Samsung 960 Pro and I have a few questions.I'm a complete noob so forgive my stupidty.

1. If i understood right I have to install IONVMeFamily.kext and then follow your guide but mustn't change the config as described in another guide.
2. The IONVMeFamily.kext and the HackrNVMeFamily*.kext are two different kext for the same purpose your guide enables us to run both side by side?
3. Where can I download the IONVMeFamily.kext
4. Do i have to install does files again once i installed mac os on the ssd or does clover transfer them somehow
5. Is this the right way to go or should I just install one of the kexts.

A big thank you to everyone for taking your time

1. IONVMeFamily.kext is installed by the macOS/OS X installer.
2. HackrNVMeFamily.kext is a patched version of IONVMeFamily.kext. If you do the class-code spoof as described in post #1, they can co-exist.
3. Read answer to #1 above.
4. No idea what you're asking.
5. Post #1 provides complete details on the "right way".

Read post #1.

So the only way to find the device ACPI id, is by installing Windows?

You can discover it from ioreg (read post #1 and related links).
This guide is written to assume you have not installed OS X/macOS yet, so it uses Windows.
