wen1 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Work in progress This is mini guide and config files for installing Mojave on a Dell XPS 13 9370. I took inspiration from sensibleJoe at on reddit My laptop's specs i7-8550U Intel HD 620 Graphics UHD Display 256GB Samsung NVMe SSD PM961 Killer 1435 Wifi Here is what works Intel HD Graphics Sleep Sound & Mic USB Wifi (Internal Killer Wifi will not work) Bluetooth Power Management Battery Management Screen Brightness Control What does not work Internal Wifi Camera SD Card reader I followed the vanilla guide here to create the Mac OS Mojave install USB. I used Mac OS 10.14.3. Here are some rough steps 1. Create the USB installer for Mojave. You can use apple's own instructions 2. Once the installer USB creation is complete, Install the latest version of clover to the USB disk with the following options Install Clover for UEFI booting only Install Clover to the ESP Leave everything else as default (minimal install without a bunch of drivers) 3. Then mount the EFI folder on the USB drive and replace the files in the config folder with the ones from the attached zip file over writing the files already there. This config is specifically for Dell XPS 13 9370. 4. Go into the UEFI/BIOS on the laptop, Make sure your SATA mode is set to AHCI (And not Raid). Save and Exit 5. Boot with the USB disk and install Mojave 6. After the install is complete, Use the USB to boot again but this time boot into the newly installed Mojave partition. 7. Install Clover on to the SSD with the same options as before. 8. Then copy the config files to the EFI folder on the SSD overwriting the config folder there. 9. Acquire the backlight AppleBacklightFixup.kext from here and install to /Library/Extensions (Thanks to Rehabman for the kext) 10. Reboot. EDIT: V4 fixes many things, like powermanagement, backlight control etc. you also need to install AppleBacklightFixup.kext to /Library/Extensions CLOVER-v4.zip Edited February 18, 2019 by wen1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calabash Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hi, did you also format the ssd for APFS with 4K sectors, using nvme-cli, and apply changes to the UEFI variables (CFG Lock, DVMT Pre-allocation, DVMT Total Gfx Memory)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLOVER.zip Hi! You're CLOVER almost worked for me. I have a reboot loop when it says "15 minutes remaining." Can you help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacker12345 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks for the info! I have followed the instructions but after booting into clover and then the MacOS installer on my USB, the computer restarts when it still says 2 minutes remaining. Then I am able to boot from my internal HD but I get an error as below. I think this error is for incomplete installer files being copied to the internal HD during the initial install from my USB (the HD only shows 7 GB used when I know the installer is 9 GB...). Any one else run into this problem with 9370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bichedeflex Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) (Edit) Couldnt make vanilla , after thousands of attemps and unsuccessful boot ( clover wouldnt see macos .. the saw it but would stop the install half way ) im now using olarila , but once again no luck ..still , using olarila image , was much easyer to mmake key ( raw , wouldnt work via balena , did perfectly via win32 disk imager , @wen1 is there any way you could upload your image ( packed in rar ) somewhere , or even make a torrent ? OK guys I'm gonna start doing mine! I7 8550u, 16gram 1080p non touch, and swapping the toshiba 512go for a micron 1tb, if I'm right I gotta start by formating the new drive to hfs+, then bootable usbkey from a mac, with Mojave install Quick question tho, is there a recommended version of the 9370 bios I'm supposed to use? I don't see anyone talking about it here And witch kexts and files are the latest to be used? Cheers, and congrats for your work guys Edited April 29, 2020 by bichedeflex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
