You know, having not seen that mentioned in threads from owners of similar models to mine, I didn't think it was applicable. I write to you know, for the first time on this Hack, untethered from my cell! Took a moment to find the pins to tape, a moment to pop open the computer and tape it, and...

My dyslexic and exhausted brain finally noticed that I'd not re-installed the FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext and FakePCIID.kext in L/E. So I did. That said, it didn't change anything. According to the "Extensions" section of System Profiler: AirportBrcmFixup.kext is loaded. BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext...

Thanks for the quick reply. I should have mentioned that I have read over that, but as I've been going from article to article, I'm really at a loss as to where I should be focusing at the moment. Is there some blatantly obvious thing I'm missing?

I've been scratching my bald head on this issue for a while now. I've gone crazy trying everything I can find, but no matter what I do, the card won't turn on, even though it's recognized and shows up in the network preferences. Bluetooth doesn't show up, though. If anybody can shed some light...

This was a great reference! I kept running into issues when trying to patch my config.plist to get Voodoo12c to load properly, blocking Apple's. I had no idea what the values should be as, in plain text <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>Prevent Apple I2C kexts...

You know, back before I was able to boot from SSD, I did grab a copy of the Config.plist from Rehabman's repository. However, during the troubleshooting process I ended up trying to merge / change settings in my futile attempt at getting my system to boot properly. Thanks for pointing at those...

Going off of what I can find in other areas of this site, it seems like it's got to do with battery patching. I think, for my currently install, the only thing I've done is added ACPIBatteryManager.kext to /L/E... but since I'm horrible at this, and have just been adding random this and that as...

Thanks for getting back to me! I'm actually working through some stuff with VoodooI2C right now. In particular, from this page: And then in config.plist I finally figured out how? to enter the kext patches that follow the above quote. But the problem is, if I remove FakeSMC from /L/E, even...

Was there anything special that needed to be done in order to get the trackpad on this recognized fully by the system? (I'm guessing some sort of patching? I'm still trying to make heads or tales of the patching process... that doc is DENSE!... and so am I, it would seem.) My trackpad works, but...

It's alive! THANKYOU!!! If you were here right now, I'd buy you 10 of your favorite drink! @Feartech, the same goes for you. I appreciate both you for your kindness. And now for the patching!!! (After sleep... seriously, my daughter woke up before I got to bed!!!)

Well, after bashing my head against this brick wall for nearly 4 straight hours tonight - it's almost 6am now where I'm from - I am still stuck on the "End Randomseed" issue while trying to boot from SSD. If at all avoidable, I'd rather not have to patch SSDT and DSDT until after I can get this...

I'm going to spend some time reviewing https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-high-sierra-on-hp-spectre-x360-8th-gen-coffee-lake.251330/ again to see if I've missed anything.

Well, after messing around with config_HD615_620_630_640_650.plist for a few hours earlier today, I was only able to get back to the exact spot that I started from: I can boot from USB only. Actually, I can't even single user / safemode boot without USB now, but I'm not too fussed by that. I...

Yes, thank you again for reminding me. I did start with one of those, at least originally. config_HD615_620_630_640_650.plist I'll try again with a clean version of that and see where that takes me.

Thank you for the quick reply. I forgot to mention that I have done this step... many times (*edit* which is why this is such a head scratcher for me) with a few different versions of Clover, but the current version I'm running r4701, iirc, is by far the fastest to boot.
