Hi,

Catalina is installed well with the RehabMan base config.plist for the iGPU HD 5500 and your guide (thx @RehabMan), but i have been trying for everything to work on my laptop for a week, and the only things that i have managed to make work, is the percentage of the battery with the ACPIBatteryManager.kext, and the ethernet with the RealtekRTL8111.kext by RehabMan also.

The trackpad, also use the RehabMan VoodooPS2Controller.kext because is the only one that works well on my laptop.

I have read tons of guides through this forum and the internet, but I'm not able to make anything work. Video acceleration, audio and brightness (these 3 functions are the things that most interest for me).

My specs:
Motherboard: HP 250 G5
CPU: Intel Core i3-5005U (Broadwell)
iGPU: HD Intel 5500
RAM: 2x4GB
Audio codec: ALC3227 from Linux. Googling, i read that is equivalent to ALC233, but idk that is true.


Video tests:
If i start the macOS with the correct ig-platform-id for my GPU (0x16260006), the image is distorted and the log shows "[iGPU] Grpahics driver failed to load: could not register with the framebuffer driver" (graphics_ko.jpg), so i have to start with a fake ig-platform-id (0x12345678). In the system summary shows 7MB VRAM.
  • I tried to configure the config.plist follow this guide.
  • Also tried this guide.
  • I tried to change the framebuffer memory following this guide, but my BIOS don't allow me to change values. Also searching for a hacked BIOS with Advanced menu, but impossible to find.
  • Tons of YoutTube videos and ****** posts.
Audio tests:
  • Like the video test, tons of videos in YouTube.
  • AppleHDA Patcher.
  • Hackintool don't recognize nothing (hackintool_sound_empty.jpg).
Brightness test:
  • Following the same guide that follow for the audio (But nothing happens xD).
    • AddPNLF active.
    • Added SSDT-PNLF.aml to the patched folder.
    • Check SetIntelBacklight and SetIntelMaxBacklight inside Devices.

My L/E/ kexts right now:

Sorry for my bad English.

Any suggestions??

I think I don't forget anything

Thx u so much!!

Best regards.

I will try with this guide. Thx!
 
I've made the audio work, but WhateverGreen beats me.

Some Kernel Panic, some restarts that take a long long time... (and I turn off manually)
 
Some attempts for Video aceleration, but nothing achieved.

This time i have followed some guides:
With this config.plist (and some similar configurations) get this infinite time boot log.

Any ideas why i am not able to get video acceleration to work?

Thx!!

this:
Code:
<key>ig-platform-id</key>
        <string>0x16260006</string>
should be:
Code:
<key>#ig-platform-id</key>
        <string>0x16260006</string>
 
this:
Code:
<key>ig-platform-id</key>
        <string>0x16260006</string>
should be:
Code:
<key>#ig-platform-id</key>
        <string>0x16260006</string>
Sorry, my fault.

Deleted from the config, but when booting without this line (or commented), same result.

Boot screen get stuck at lines like: tx_flush:1028: xid 12112 tx stats: # 140 finish 141 enter 127 wait 2 442us close 13us flush 2866us (with other values)

Thx for the reply :)
 
Hi again!

With this config.plist i can boot into macOS, but in the System Report, already view the HD 5500 with 7MB of VRAM.

When i fill the config with the connectors, infinite boot time like the#7 post.

For the connectors, follow these guides:

I have finally managed to make the graphics to work.

But I have a problem with this.

When i boot into the system, i see glitched graphics like Matrix. I need to do the following to make the graphics to work:
  1. I have to press the power button (put it to rest).
  2. Push it again (quit sleep).
  3. Graphics work.
Does anyone know how this is solved?

I would also like the FN's brightness buttons to work.

Screen preferences are also not displayed in the menu bar.
