Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a venture-ready clover version of your EFI folder.
Thanks in advance

 

[yahgoo]

I gave up on using Clover after many failed attempts to boot my laptop with Clover.
Moreover, Clover is slow to boot up. I think Clover depends on opencore bootloader.
So I rather go clean install all macOS with opencore.

HI
I have the same laptop but without broadcom. I have intel for wifi and bluetooth. So all is working but wifi and bluetooth. Is there a solution for intel wifi and bluetooth?
I tried disabling brcm kexts and applying "AirportItlwm-Ventura-v2.2.0-DEBUG-alpha-ee56708" found at openintel github, but fatal error at boot.
Maybe i made some mistake. How to apply intel kexts?
Thankyou

Download Hackintosh107EFI
Refer to his config.plist in order to set AirportItlwm.kext in your confit.plist with open configurator.
Copy the latest AirportItlwm.kext into kext folder.

Disable below kexts since u r using Intel wifi

 

[sgrunt12002]

I have disabled as youn said and reboot still work but no wifi and bluetooth, so I install latest AirportItlwm.kext (I have tried also with itlwm.kext) but at next reboot something about memory panic occurred, exactly: "In Memory Panic Stackshot Succeeded"

 

[sgrunt12002]

I tried also installing IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext but same error

 

[sgrunt12002]

I solved.
I used my previous EFI that worked with Monterey.
I made Skylake to Kaby Lake GPU spoofing according with your EFI and change SMBIOS to MacBookPro14,1.
First attempt boot well, bluetooth work but no wifi and macos freeze or reboot after a couple of minutes.
So I have installed new AirportItlwm.kext for Ventura. Even if it is in alpha it works very well.
Maybe some kext combination in your EFI dont work with my hardware but I dont know what ...
