SuperSaiyanPrince Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi, I can share my files for you, but I need to know your e6400 parameters like a CPU, RAM, Graphic card, screen resolution. Then I will send you needed files and correct config.plist for you machine Hi, thanks for sharing your files. CPU: 2.40 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo P8600. RAM: 4GB. GPU: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M 256MB onboard chip. Original Screen Resolution: 1440x900. (I can't really use this display, doesn't work, so I use a 1920x1200 display instead. Again thank you for your help.? Broadcom 4312 just requires simple id injection in the IO80211 kext. Or look for BCM43xxxFamily kexts on the web, they cover for that card. They may be available for download here on IM too. Hi, Hervé thanks for your help. Can you please send me a link, if you have one? Thanks in advance. ?

howoarang Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi, try these files, but if you are e6400, try change SMBIOS to MacBookPro 5,2. And also try this kext IO80211Family for your Wifi card. Put it to S/L/E folder. CLOVER.zip IO80211Family.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSaiyanPrince Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So I went and tried your files and the IO80211Family kext. PROBLEMS: Sound isn't working ( not sure why, has kext in /E/C/K) Bluetooth isn't working (just says not avaliable) Wifi not working, obvious Just asking Hervé, where do I put the Broadcom43xxFamily.kext file? I put it in E/C/K, maybe it should go in S/L/E? Thanks for helping me out guys.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howoarang Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Broadcom43xxFamily.kext is plugin and it is included in IO80211Family kext. You must IO80211Family kext put in S/L/E and then rebuild permissions + cache before you reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSaiyanPrince Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ok and now another noob question, how do you rebuild caches? Should I ise Kext Wizard? Or is there a command-line tool built in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSaiyanPrince Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Alright so I got home, turned on my computer, and was going to run the commands. Opened Launchpad, clicked on other and Terminal. The computer then froze. Turns out the drive has failed guess no Yosemite for me. Thanks for your help guys. I guess I'm gonna have to wait till I get the money for a new drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howoarang Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi, I decided to go back on Maverick, because Yosemite is running on my e6500 very poor. The animation are very lagging and freezing, movies via safari go very bad, and overall is Yosemite slower. So my head OS is Maverick, but Yosemite I had installed on 2nd HDD in modular bay, so I will wait to update and hope it will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howoarang Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hervé, I really don't know, what I did wrong with my e6500 and yosemite, but after some days working in yosemite, I had very lagging OS X system. Everything works, CPU speedstep, GPU, Sound, Wifi, Sleep, Shutdown, but that wasn't OSX as we know. I must go back to Maverick. It's working great and fluently, yosemite doesn't.

jack123529 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I have OS X 10.10 'Yosemite' working quite well on my Dell Latitude e6400 with almost the exact same specs as you accept my CPU: 3.06 GHz and RAM Memory: 8 GB. I skipped creating an installer and instead removed my Latitudes HD, placed it in an external firewire enclosure and hooked it up to a real Mac Book Pro. Instead of formatting to MBR, I formatted the entire hard drive in GUID & Mac Extended Journaled. Once the install was complete, I then installed Clover in "Legacy Mode" where you reformat the invisible Apple EFI partition to Fat32 and install Clover in the ESP while making all the appropriate selections (as pictured). Initially, the only kext files I used in getting Yosemite to boot were the ethernet kext, the new slice/netkas FakeSMC.kext and NullPowerManagemnet.kext. My EFI/Clover/kexts/other folder now contains only those * as pictured * as I have since found the NullPowerManagement.kext is not needed. As I first mentioned, I was happy to discover that OS X 10.10 runs rather well on my E6400 with several notable exceptions. As my Intel WiFi does not even work in Mavericks, I had been using a USB wireless adapter with a Ralink driver installed however that driver is not working in Yosemite so I am using an ethernet connection for internet. VoodooHDA 2.8.5 provides sound but it is very lack luster (alot of crackling and of poor quality) so I have instead hooked up a USB Audio Interface for audio. VoodooBattery is also quite sporadic but it's the best I have been able to find as the patched AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext does not work for me in Mavericks either. Aside from that and for such an early release, I am actually surprised how smooth and stable Yosemite operates. It took a bit of effort though I was even able to get both iMessages and FaceTime to work as well ! I am generally quite satisfied that my Latitude e6400 continues to be compatible with Apple's latest OS X releases and I am looking forward to seeing it run Yosemite once further improvements/developments and updates are made. hi. i know this is an old post but do you have the video kext for this machine? ive been trying for a week to get the video working but i dont know what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
