you have to enable it manually by adding something in some config file if the system you specify in the SMBIOS configs doesnt have a native HDMI port. bad thing is: i forgot how to do it and the tutorial has been deleted by tonys guys...

 

EDIT:

try http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319766-dell-xps-9550-detailled-1011-guide/- STEP 3.5.4

also for audio: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319211-guide-fix-skylake-hdmidp-output/

Thanks for your reply wmchris!

 

So, I applied the HDMI output fix to config.plist>KernelAndKextPatches>KextsToPatch

 

I uncompressed layout-13.xml.zlib into layout-13.xml, and added the PublishHDMI_DP boolean as YES  to aDummyHDA.ext (attached with modification) yet no difference... :(

 

EDIT:

Actually - there is something different! My Sound broke  :w00t: And it's confirmed to be because of the PublishHDMI_DP...

I'm still working on it. Currently I'm using macbook 9,1 SMBIOS which allows me to use both HDMI ports, d-sub, Ethernet & all of USBs (only external HDD/SSD is detected and mounted, attached mouse or keyboard wont work as well unfortunately, I hope to fix it as soon as I will finish uni work), All hotplugable. DisplayPort is not recognised and attaching any monitor to it result in having a black screen. 13,3 SMBIOS broke HDMI ports and audio, which I mentioned before and none of known fixes and patches works so far. Also if you plug in both monitor into HDMI and d-sub at the hub you will end up with two cloned desktops on each monitor instead of two extended desktops (this issues has been reported several times by Macbook Pro Late 2016 users so I hope so that Apple is working on it).

 

So far only macbook 9,1 SMBIOS allows me to use all of the features of macOS without breaking anything.

I have attached my EFI folder so you can compare what possibly you my missing in yours.

This all worked on iMac 17 skylake SMBIOS but I have now just like you changed to MacBookPro13,3 and my built in HDMI does not work anymore.

The guide says to go through the AppleGraphicsPolicies kext looking for the board-id and changing "config2" -> "none", but our board-id does not exist for the MBP13,3 SMBIOS.

 

So, I had 15 minutes over and had another look.

 

The KextPatch:

</dict>

 

Is not useful at all and I can't believe I didn't cach that before.

 

What it does is the same as going manually into the kext and changing Config2 to none.

 

Search:

>Mac-B809C3757DA9BB8D</key>

<string>Config2</string>
 

Replace:

>Mac-B809C3757DA9BB8D</key>

<string>none</string>
 
As the board-ID with SMBIOS MacBookPro13,3 is: Mac-A5C67F76ED83108C it has no effect. Also as I stated initially there is no setup for Mac-A5C67F76ED83108C in the AppleGraphicsPolicies kext.
 
What I haven't tested yet is to actually add:
 
                                <key>Mac-A5C67F76ED83108C</key>
                                <string>none</string>
 
Since MBP13,3 does not have HDMI output, that just might be the right fix!
I'll check that out later.

Macbook 9,1 doesn't have HDMI output either (It have only single USB-C port) yet its working fine, at least display outputs and storage devices. Your patch doesn't work for me, just tried it. I might try it again to make sure that I didn't missed anything.

Oh no, the patch I copied in is the same patch as wmchris linked to.

 

As I wrote, there is no entry/configuration for our MacBookPro13,3 board-id.

 

I have however changed the patch to add our board-ID with the configuration none (Destroys iMac13,2 configuration)

 

Find:

<string>none</string>

Unfortunately this does not work for me anyhow. I have also tried with adding the "PublishHDMI_DP" to aDummyHDA (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319211-guide-fix-skylake-hdmidp-output/?p=2333909) yet it doesn't work and breaks audio.

 

I am on BIOS v 1.2.19 which has the change log: "1.Fixed Pre-OS has no display on external monitor with Lid Close issue" Maybe it also broke something?

 

 

 

UPDATE:

 

--Read from here --

Allright got it working!

 

 

The fix is to simply use the patch I provided.

Do NOT add the PublishHDMI_DP to aDummyHDA.kext.

 

I now have MBP13,3 SMBIOS with HDMI out working.

I am pretty sure USB C 3 does not work. Well I have a pixel XL phone that uses type USB C and I can charge a phone connected to the laptop. But I cannot transfer files. I know that it works on Windows 10. Anybody has any suggestions?

@Lockzi

I tried your patch and it still doesn't work for me :(  I'm glad that it's working for you :) I guess I'll have to stick to Macbook 9,1 SMBIOS until I find my own workaround for problems with the display outputs. First of all uni work which seems to be never ending.

post-1631985-0-71236700-1487649171_thumb.png

I don't know what exactly make such a difference that both of my displays work under this certain smbios... 9,1 has USB 3-c port & newest Pro too, this doesn't not make sense at all. I'll have to check my config.plist and explore few others possibilities during next break. 

 

@hackedWiFi

Devices such as smartphone are not recognised properly by this port (Tested on iPhone7 & Galaxy S7 with USB-to-USB-c cable). Only what is working so far it's all sorts of Ethernet adapters, external HDD/SSD and I've check HooToo SD Card reader which was working just fine. Mouse & keyboard even don't show up at system information.

You could try to add:

 

<key>ForceKextsToLoad</key>

<array>

<string>/System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext</string>

<string>/System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext</string>

<string>\System\Library\Extensions\IONetworkingFamily.kext</string>

</array>

 

 

I never have understood what this actually does, yet basically every config.plist has the IONetworkingFamily.kext loaded, and it is not necissary for the kext to be loaded to do the KextsToPatch patches.

 

However I have broken my audio completely now. I've tried both wmchris (which I had working before I went on to this whole HDMI output venture) and the syscl AppleHDA, neither work...

 

I've also noticed that my USB Video Card (DisplayLink) is not recognized anymore... I feel like weird stuff are happening since I changed SMBIOS to MBP13,3

 

Even though I got HDMI out to work on MBP13,3 I am considering as well to switch back to iMac17

 

 

Update:

 

So I spent some time in order to fix my audio trying to revert to where I was before. Guess what Deniryer, now my HDMI patch doesn't work anymore! :(

Clearly, they are related.

Further more, when I restored my audio - suddenly my USB Video card was recognized again!

 

 

My best guess is that you're set up like wmchris guide:

 

L/E>

aDummyHDA.kext

CodecCommander.kext

 

S/L/E>

AppleHDA.kext (vanilla)

 

ACPI/patched/ssdt-ALC298

 

 

 

 

Correct? Then let's try to find a fix together as we're at the same startingpoint! :)

I have said USB-C hot plug have fallen in 10.12.3

 

It only can be recognized when i plug it first,when i unplug it and replug it again and the system have no response.

 

I have tested this many times and i am sure it was fine in 10.12.2

Hotplug works partly since I remember. I can unplug & plug in my external HDD drive or both monitors and they are recognised just fine as long as I use Macbook 9,1 SMBIOS (Tested under 10.12.2 & 3 & 4 beta 2). However peripherals & smartphones attached to this port are not detected, recognised nor displayed in the system information fro the very beginning of this patch. At least that never worked for me no matter which version of MacOS Sierra I have been using.

I'm wanting to update to 10.12.3 but have never done an update to a hackintosh using clover. Just to be sure I don't screw it up, I wanted to see how to go about it. I know I have to run the combo update and then potentially boot from my original install usb to get back in. Will copying my current clover folder suffice to get everything working again after the update completes? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I know updates are often system specific when problems can arise.

 

Also as I've never changed board IDs after getting a machine running, will I need to clear my iCloud cache after changing to the 13,3 system definition and changing serial numbers for those services to work again? Thanks

can you guys check if your issues are fixed with syscls prepatched AppleHDA.kext (it's in my repo, too). Then you dont need the ACPI file anymore and aDummy can be deleted, too.

Success!!!

 

 

So here are my steps.

 

run the install.sh from the AppleHDA syscls directory.

 

sudo sed -i.vanilla 's/Mac-FC02E91DDD3FA6A4/Mac-A5C67F76ED83108C/g' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

What it does is stealing Board-ID Mac-FC02E91DDD3FA6A4 and replacing it with the MBP13,3 Mac-A5C67F76ED83108C.

                                <key>Mac-A5C67F76ED83108C</key>

                                <string>none</string>
 
Reload caches.
 
Reboot 
 
I have changed the install.sh script and created a pull request.
 
 
 
 
I do have a KextToPatch fix as well (NOT WORKING!)

0:228  0:000   - [13]: AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy (Fix HDMI output MBP133 Lockzi) :: PlistPatch :: data len: 27
 

It is being applied according to boot log but it does not seem to have the same effect as manually editing the Info.plist

Maybe someone could see what's wrong and help out? :)

Does any one with XPS 15 9550 UHD and using OSXAptioFixDrv2.efi to boot successfully?

 

Because v2 have a lot of improvement with v1 so i want to look some way to use v2 instead of v1.

 

As now i know the XPS 13 9350 can use v2 with no "slide=x" and with no error but XPS 15 9550 can't.

 

Now i get the memmap form uefishell command "memmap > mem.txt" and get all the "slide=x" avaliable but a tried this all data but still can't boot into the osx.

So i tried 32 270 288 392 436 437 442 445 2047 9711 but still can't boot.

 

@goodwin_c I saw you have said you can boot into the osx with "slide=32" with v2 drive but i can't with many tried and don't now how...

 

Does this memmap error or other problems?

Does any one with XPS 15 9550 UHD and using OSXAptioFixDrv2.efi to boot successfully?

 

Because v2 have a lot of improvement with v1 so i want to look some way to use v2 instead of v1.

 

As now i know the XPS 13 9350 can use v2 with no "slide=x" and with no error but XPS 15 9550 can't.

 

Now i get the memmap form uefishell command "memmap > mem.txt" and get all the "slide=x" avaliable but a tried this all data but still can't boot into the osx.

Type       Start            End              # Pages          Attributes

So i tried 32 270 288 392 436 437 442 445 2047 9711 but still can't boot.

 

@goodwin_c I saw you have said you can boot into the osx with "slide=32" with v2 drive but i can't with many tried and don't now how...

 

Does this memmap error or other problems?

I can boot with OSXAptioFixDrv2.efi without problem with boot args -v -dart=0, 10.12.04 Beta 3 & Macbook 9,1 SMBIOS, Can't change to 13,3 I can't risk my uni work right now and my xps doesn't cooperate with this smbios correctly. Really weird stuff happens when I use 13,3.

I compared your driver with mine and i found the osxaptiofixdrv2 not the latest?

 

You can try this latest.

Hi wmchris. 

 

Followed you for a while and decided to install OS X on 9550. Guide was exemplary and its running smoothly. I have only one issue: iMessage. - call apple with the following code. (iTunes and App Store work fine).

 

 

Networks: ethernet en0, wifi en1, can't get rid of ethernet. everytime it comes back as en0, although I've connected via wifi.

Apple Id: 2 different ids, both connect to Mac App Store and iTunes Store fine, iMessage works on iPhone.

Smbios: set up as 13,3, iMessage debug confirms all remains static when rebooting, id is not valid with apple (As per all the guides). smuid and motherboard serial all look fine, although can post them if needed.

 

I am wondering if this current device (serial, smuid, huuid and mlb) are all blacklisted at this stage? I can connect fine with iPhone. 

 

not sure how to get iMessage working, and was really looking forward to this then handoff as my next step (dw1830).

 

thanks for anyone's help. I followed tonymacosx jaymonkey's guide as much as I could and short of calling apple I'm not sure what else to do. I have not used my most used Apple ID, but ones I've had before, and I am nervous to try that one until I'm sure the device might need new credentials etc.

 

Thanks for the replies

your serial must be whitelisted by apple. you didnt use a real one? Call the number and talk to them and tell them a good story (obviously only works if you own a real mac with applecare)

I have an air i can rely on but its 2013. If i reset all and ceate a new serial, because my id had a hackintosh before wouls that make a difference?

the thing is: either you have a serial for yourself, or you have a serial, which is used before. The last can even happen if you create one with a generator (thats why you should always check if the generated serial is already in use).

 

If you have a brand new serial it's obviously unknown to apple. Sometimes it still works, most of the time it doesnt.

If you have a real serial and you dont own the original apple device this could result in VERY bad outcomes - mostly of data security.

 

I salvage my serial numbers personally. I dont mind using an old SMBIOS, but it reduces compatibility a lil bit.
