I'm not yet sure why your system tripped up on _STA, since it only uses an 8 bit sized field inside the if-statement. I now patched _BST and _BIF by creating a custom SSDT-BATT, please give this a try. If it still trips up, re-attach the *current* output of Hackintool from boot, since at least EC should have changed to H_EC inside the error log. I just want to see things change and apply.

I think it can happen if AppleACPIEC hasn't attached yet? Possibly? I'm not quite sure tbh.

ioreg shows ACPIEC already attached to H_EC device..

ioreg shows ACPIEC already attached to H_EC device..

This would be during early boot, when _STA is being initially read. I don't think SMCBatteryManager/ACPIBatteryManager care though since they both check the ACPI Plane in IORegistry instead of the IOService plane, which should show devices even if _STA errors out. They will check _STA themselves later during the boot process, when AppleACPIEC should've attached.

According to original dsdt,BAT0 _STA will return 0x0 when it fails to read EC region.I tried to hook it and return 0x1f always,still can't read battery percentage,same as before.

How did you check that _STA actually returned 0xF? Did you ensure in IOReg? Just wanting to make sure.

When use original dsdt,_STA is always 0x0

It seems ACPIEC is not working.
I tried manually patched the DSDT,and got following error:
ACPI Error: Result stack is empty! State=ffffff902d6d0810 (20160930/dswstate-182)
ACPI Exception: AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE, Missing or null operand (20160930/dsutils-775)

Looks like EC fields are not read at all.

Hey! I been in army so i havent had that much time to work on this, etc etc.. but here is an update in my case! I have two disks in my laptop so i managed to format one of them to be the bootloader/efi and it works. Now i just need to partition it so i can use rest of the drive cause i think 500gb is littlebit too much just for efi partition xD

@kvmKillerman

Sure thing, it's your machine! . Just hit me up if you encounter any further issues. No problem, btw, I always love to help.

Finished, had to use linux to do all this but it was less work than installing the whole os again
