Clover General discussion

 I am in the same situation. Sonoma boots fine with Clover but it’s impossible to get IOSkywalk blocked. 

Although I am OpenCore user, I'm curious and intrigued about Clover and the settings required by Sonoma wifi.

I guess we have to wait for @Slice to see what the reason could be and how to fix it.

I can't boot Sonoma. But IOSkywalk seems to be blocked (see log files). Wait and see @Slice

I can boot Sonoma without the wifi settings. 
 

I see in the log that IOSkywalk seems to be blocked. But it’s blocked after adding the 3 kexts. Maybe this must be the other way around, first the block before the addition. Waiting for @Slice

In the file .../CloverBootloader/BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template add switch -Wno-single-bit-bitfield-constant-conversion at the end of the line (2903) DEFINE XCODE15_COMMON_FLAGS

How to disable HWTarget for SMBIOS iMac20,1, please equivalent to SecurebootModel=Disabled). I believe you can solve the issue with Clover, kexts and blocked  necessary for OCLP on Sonoma.

Thanks.

I means HWTarget=J185AP for SMBIOS iMac20,1 (Securebootmodel=j185 in my OC config.plist). Because I don't know if comment the key is enough !
ProtectSecureBoot=False for Clover and Opencore config.plist file.

@Matgen84could you check in your misc/log if you have this line or similar one?

@mariosun I'm not at home. So I can't verify a new log file.

 

Previous Clover debug log : with ProtectSecureboot=False and HWTarget=j185AP

@Slicenew AirportBrcmFixup 2.1.8 not injecting with Clover5155 is there any trick to do so with Ventura 13.6 (22G120)

I followed the below steps as per https://github.com/acidanthera/AirportBrcmFixup

Installation types

• Clover Airport Fix + AirportBrcmFixup
• Clover Airport Fix + AddProperties(fake device-id) + AirportBrcmFixup (preferable)
• Clover Airport Fix + AirportBrcmFixup + FakePCIID + FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext
• AirportBrcmFixup + FakePCIID + FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

@datafeedexpert Thanks a lot. Can you post prebootlog.

Perhaps, I mistaken. Since macOS 11+, AirPortBrcm4360 has been completely removed. Only AirPortBrcmNIC is used. So either delete the 4360 plugin in AirportBrcmFixUp, or set a boot-args brcm-drivers=2. However, I haven't tested version 2.1.8 on Ventura, because I don't have Ventura installed on my hard disks.

AirportBrcmFixup.kext (v.2.1.9) seems to in Off directory: no injection possible. Move to Other directory. If you kept all the plugins inside AirportBrcmFixup.kext: add brcm-drivers=2 to you boot-args. To point AirPortBrcmNIC. T's suitable to keep only AirPortBrcmNIC, no boot-args needed.

 

28:460  0:000  Disabled kext: Off\AirportBrcmFixup.kext (v.2.1.9)

In my opinion, if you have only one macOS version on your system: it's better to put all yours kexts in Other folder.

I have a multiple macOS like Catalina , Bigsur, Monterey, Ventura {Windows11 23H2}, Right now moved AirportBrcmFixup.kext to off Folder Because i am using only KexttoPatch Option , Even i dont need brcm-drivers=2 bootarg , i checked Wifi/Bluetooth for all macOS and thats working perfectly...

@datafeedexpert AirportBrcmFixup contains 2 kexts as plugins, AirPortBrcm4360_Injector an AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector. In OpenCore you can disable them individually, but when using Clover you should delete AirPortBrcm4360_Injector since it is not compatible past macOS Catalina.

 

And like Matgen84 said: if you have only one version of macOS installed, all required kext should be placed in the "Other" folder.

@cankiulascmnfyeThat i understand perfectly i tried using AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector alone & AirPortBrcmFixup / AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector but Ventura / Monterey cant activate Wifi, I reset / Clear NVRAM after Each & every reboot / Config.plist changes, BTW After that i completely removed AirportBrcmFixup & it's Plugin & used only KexttoPatch Find - Replace Values only & the Wifi works Perfectly even these Find / Replace value works with OC / Clover Both,

Yes, you can.

nvram2 = nvram + additional functions. Some differences in output format.

@Slice is it true that legacy can't boot without openruntime.efi?

With old Clover can. But now Clover included Opencore and I don't know if it will not work without openruntime.
