another problem: i found the usb port near mic jack not work.
if i use USBInjectAll.kext(i made it in 10.11), it will work but it will lead the sleep auto wake.
btw, i found the hot key of blacklight control will be affect.

i used mac pro12,1 in SMBIOS when it was 10.11. maybe i should delete imac17,1?

I'm not using USBInject kext so i can't say. THE USB you are talking about only works with USB 3.0 devices.

Instant wake is covered in the ACPI patching guide, linked from the FAQ.

@travelassong
Can you please update your OP with the most up to date instructions and files (you can even copy/paste my full post there if you want). At this point this thread is getting very confusing for newcomers...

Alright Guys, here are the most up to date files that i am using, so to summarize:

What works:
-Intel HD530 with full acceleration (Note: to remove the upper left glitch the nvidia Card has to be disabled)
-Nvidia 980m GTX (for HDMI Video out)
-Webcam
-All USBs (the USB near the audio jack only works with USB 3.0 devices and it won't detect USB 2.0 devices)
-Sleep/Wake (I believe wake works only when the nvidia Graphics is enabled)
-Audio (mic, Speakers, audio jack, audio after wake from sleep, volume control).
-Boot From Nvme (I have the Samsung Nvme PM950 256 Gb)
-SpeedStep/CPU
-Ethernet Killer E2400
-Brightness Control (Only on internal screen with HD530)
-Keyboard+Trackpad (now trackpad preference panel is properly displayed and tap-to-click is working)
-Battery
-Full System Recognition

What doesn't work:
-HDMI Audio

Important Note:
-My display is a Full HD panel. UHD panels will require additional patches.
-If you are using the EFI for the Sierra Installer you can use it as is without modifications (don't use the kexts.zip). The kexts needed to boot are already in EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other
-Make sure that you are on Bios 1.3.6 (recommended) or 1.3.9
-Bios options:
-In Advanced Menu: VT for Direct I/O disabled
-In Advanced Menu: Sata Operation AHCI
-In Boot Menu: Boot List Option UEFI
-In Boot Menu: Load Legacy Option Rom disabled
-The provided SSDT.aml in EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched is for an Intel 6820HK. If your CPU is different you have to generate yours with SSDTPRGEN (google it) and copy it over the one i provided.
-The provided SSDT-11.aml is for a Nvidia 980m GTX. You can try it even if you have a different one. If it doesn't work (970m or 965m) you may have to extract your own table.

-If you are using the files on a system with Sierra installed read the How To Use below

Notes:
-I just tested these files in a USB drive to boot to the installer and it works
-I also tested it to boot into Sierra Nvme drive and it works

How to use (for a system with Sierra Installed):
-Delete any kexts that you installed so far from S/L/E
-Delete your Clover folder in EFI (if you already installed Clover) and copy the new EFI Folder there
-Install the provided kexts into S/L/E (with Kext Utility or similar)
-Install the latest Nvidia Web Drivers
-Delete the kext IONVMeFamily.kext and FakeSMC.kext from EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other (the required patches are already included in Config.plist). You may need additional patches for Wifi/Bluetooth depending on what you have. If you have a Broadcom BCM94352Z 802.11ac WIFI Card For Lenovo Y50-80 Y50-70 Touch 04X6020 i can provide the patches separately.
-Update the config.plist file (easier with Plist editor or Clover Configurator):
-Remove nv_disable=1 from the boot arguments and put nvda_drv=1
-In SystemParameters put NvidiaWeb to Yes
Rebuild your caches and reboot.

Please test and report.

In order to fix Immediate wake when using USBInjectAll kext use this patch:
USB3 _PRW 0x0D Skylake (Instant Wake)
From RehabMan patches.
Click to expand...

Make sure your system uses GPE index 0x0D.
Note that the files in post #369 actually use GPE index 0x6D.
Using a mismatched patch for the GPE your laptop actually uses is a mistake.
