High sierra on Sony Vaio Svs-1313

[Feartech]

Well, this is what I can gather when Clover wont help me...

Should be a right mess due to my impatience.

make this:

<key>PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x1b,0)</key>
                <dict>
                    <key>#Comment</key>
                    <string>Intel HDA</string>
                    <key>#PinConfigurations</key>
                    <data>
                    </data>
                    <key>#hda-gfx</key>
                    <string>onboard-1</string>
                    <key>#layout-id</key>
                    <integer>3</integer>
                </dict>

look like:

<key>PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x1b,0)</key>
                <dict>
                    <key>#Comment</key>
                    <string>Intel HDA</string>
                    <key>#PinConfigurations</key>
                    <data>
                    </data>
                    <key>#hda-gfx</key>
                    <string>onboard-1</string>
                    <key>layout-id</key>
                    <integer>3</integer>
                </dict>

(remove the # from layout-id)

the 3, you can change to trial and error other layout-ids

you have also seemed to have manually patched AppleHDA system kext, this is wrong for AppleALC to work properly

best to re run the macos installer to refresh the kexts, no need to wipe

Thanks!

Tried reinstalling, it seemed to leave all kexts untouched.

Should I throw them away and install them anew?

you will have to re upload new problem reporting files

Here we go!

this:

<key>Audio</key>
        <dict>
            <key>Inject</key>
            <integer>28</integer>

should be:

<key>Audio</key>
        <dict>
            <key>Inject</key>
            <string>No</string>

for some reason you have it listed twice in your config.plist

grab fresh config.plist

Tried going about at replacing the config.plist but apparently it needed more work! I seem to have underrated all the wo0rk I did earlier!

At my parents and don't have a Mac computer handy (just mounting the EFI on my dad's ancient Windows computer is a headache) so will probably have a couple of more whacks before going home after Christmas

 

[mattihp]

Holy moly! Made some manual edits (even though I had to use both plistedit and clover config) and now it works! Thanks a lot for the help!

Now time for USB!

 

[mattihp]

Found which USB ports correspond to the three physical USB ports on the laptop. But I cannot seem to close the rest in hackintool. I will try to figure out how to do it in plistedit..

USBinjectall might not have been a good idea after all...

USBinjectall is needed to setup usbports and to make them after with .aml file

you can remove un needed ports in hackintool (which you should do) before exporting your file

 

[mattihp]

I am to pick up my hackintosh again and start to find solutions to the few problems I have. Thanks to the help I have gotten here it still runs smoothly, but some issues still remain.

1. Removing un needed ports, last time I tried they reappeared in hackintool after removal.
2. Able to install programs from App store
3. Sound over HDMI (this should be the easiest issue to do)
4. See specs in system properties (as far as I've understood this is not a must, but would be nice!)
5. Try to solve the EFI issues on my hard drive so that I can boot directly from it instead of having to use clover on my flash drive. I cannot seem to gain access to the EFI on the hard drive to put things there, but will solve it somehow. Probably easier than I think.
6. Battery level


A great summer project and I will learn even more I bet
