Post-installation problems

[bobchen]

After installation I'm able to boot to OSX , but a number of features are not working (Wifi, USB, touchpad limited functionality).

What I have done:
Install kexts to /L/E using Hackintool
Kextstat to verify kexts are loaded
Dumped native ACPI files to EFI/Clover/ACPI/origin
Checked patched files working using iasl

I was provided patched files in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched, but I'm not sure if I have to do anything to install them. I'm also not sure what debugging file to attach, since I can't use gen_debug with no internet. Any help is appreciated.

Update: was able to get everything besides USB wifi working

Nice job on getting everything working.

I’d recommend getting the ASUS AC53 Nano WiFi USB. It’s super small.
The drivers are on ASUS’s website and it works great on Mojave 10.4.5 for me and surprisingly has a nice native looking UI with great speeds.

I managed to get 200-300 Mbps down/up on a 5GHz network. Has great range too.

You could probably get this at your local hardware store and do a price match to a competitor to get it for around $30.

If you can’t get the BCM WiFi card or are worried about breaking something while opening up the laptop to replace the WiFi card, this is definitely a great next best option.

Just make sure you have USBInjectAll.kext installed and you’ll be good to go.

Thanks for your advice, I didn't realize there were limitations on the usb dongles that could be used, I just grabbed a random spare. I'll look into your recommendation.
