Catalina on Dell Latitude E6410 (Nvidia Graphics) With Working Sleep

[deeveedee]

@vbmota Please read through this entire thread very carefully.  I believe you will find that the issues you are reporting have been addressed.  For installing 10.15.4, pay close attention to this post.

[vbmota]

Oh, I missed it out!

I was stopping at the first error and entering the install again and again...

 

Now I got the fresh install I wished!

 

Do you know how to disable the "Patch Updater" at the login?

 

My sudo kextcache -i / returns the follows:

Nothing to mind about?

 

Thank you again!

[vbmota]

@tonyx86 do you use BrcmPatchRAM3.kext for all your macOses? I read at some place that for Mojave was indicated BrcmPatchRAM2.kext

 

Theres some difference?

I’ve tried installing macOS 10.15.4 on a Latitude E6510 (i7 640m, NVS 3100M) Same laptop as the E6410 just a bit bigger. Installation itself went perfectly fine didn’t get any errors, but I can’t boot to the installed system. In verbose mode as soon as it prints “IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3” the machine instantly restarts. 

EDIT: added nv_disable=1 to the bootargs and now it succesfully boots but I have 2 problems: no proper graphics and wifi doesnt work

Typo

[deeveedee]

@1337ftw, Please provide your problem reporting files as described in Post #1 of this thread.

 

@vbmota, Yes - I am using BrcmPatchRAM3 in E/C/k/O for Mojave (and High Sierra and Catalina).  I am using the same EFI and /L/E for ALL three of my macOSes: High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina.

[vbmota]

Could you confirm BrcmPatchRAM3 is fully compatible with Mojave, I am having difficult to connect countless devices.

No within Catalina partition.

[deeveedee]

I have no problems with Bluetooth in High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina.  If you are still having problems, please attach your problem reporting files.  Please include the output of your "kextcache -i /" for Mojave and Catalina.

[1337ftw]

I can’t provide reporting files. It keeps failing on finding my ESP. Found out the wifi issue though, I have a RTL8192 which I can’t find any driver for so I’ll just replace it. Still don’t know why it doesn’t boot without disabling gpu driver though (installer booted fine with it)

[vbmota]

Try my EFI. My model is the same as yours. But you have to change your wifi/bt to have all funcional.

I did remove Themes folder from Clover, you have to copy another.

 

EFI.zip

[deeveedee]

@vbmota I looked at the EFI you posted.  Did you remove your Bluetooth / Wi-Fi kexts, too?

 

Also, why do you have HaltEnabler enabled in Clover config.plist?

[vbmota]

I remove for @1337ftw. My files are in my original EFI.

I didnt see haltenabler, thank you. I dont know the fuction it do.l

[1337ftw]

Tried using your EFI. Didn't work. I did manage to make the debug script find the ESP partition though, so here's the result from that if that helps finding the issue:

[deeveedee]

Do the following and let us know what you find:

• Install VoodooHDA (use v15 package here): Choose Classic Method for Catalina
• Not your problem, but also remove /Library/Extensions/LegacyUSBVideoSupport.kext (was installed by DosDude patcher and you shouldn't need it)

[1337ftw]

It didn’t make any change. Sound works though (still with nv_disable=1)

[deeveedee]

Just to clarify, you removed nv_disable=1 after installing VoodooHDA?  If so, can you post your new problem reporting files (gen_debug) with VoodooHDA installed?

[1337ftw]

After installing VoodooHDA and removing the LegacyUSBVideo kext, I tried booting without nv_disable=1. That failed. Here's the gen_debug with VoodooHDA:

[vbmota]

Why are you using kexts in clover\kexts for wifi if you dont have a compatible board?

[1337ftw]

I had no idea what the BRCM kexts were when I put them there. And the RtWlan kexts are just random USB Wifi kexts I found for a USB Realtek based adapter I had lying around. Just to connect to the internet until the new one I ordered (a BCM94322HM8L) arrives.

specified wrong wifi card

[deeveedee]

Remove /Library/Extensions/LegacyUSBInjector.kext (installed by DosDude patcher) and try again.  Please re-read this post very carefully and make sure you have followed all of the steps.  Also make sure that your BIOS is the same version and is configured exactly as described in Post #1 of this thread.

 

Let us know what you find.

[1337ftw]

My steps were a bit different. To be specific: I didn’t actually get any errors. Probably because I used a newer version of dosdude’s patcher. I did check the BIOS though and the only thing was that I didn’t disable my TPM but that didn’t make any difference. Removing LegacyUSBInjector.kext also didn’t change anything.

[deeveedee]

The only other thing I can think of is removing any "non-native" hardware (like USB devices and unsupported Wi-Fi).  When you figure it out, let us know!

 

Also remove all other 3rd-party kexts that you installed and that are not mentioned in this thread.

[deeveedee]

@1337ftw, You're booting Clover UEFI on this Latitude E6410?  @unilock was attempting this and claimed to have made some progress.  You'll have to let us know how you did it.

 

I added a few more "LEGACY, NOT UEFI" notes in the installation instructions.

 

Did you install with USB UEFI?  If so, I wonder if that's why you didn't see any installation errors?

[1337ftw]

I simply followed the exact instructions (for 10.15.3) but I selected UEFI in the Clover installation screen.

I might try running the installation again with Legacy to see if it gives the errors. Could have something to do with it. 

I manually installed boot0af into the protective MBR (drive was gpt and didnt feel like reinstalling). Also installed boot1f32alt and boot6 onto the ESP. Without changing anything it perfectly booted macOS 10.15.4!
I now only have to change out the wifi card but that’s fine.

[1337ftw]

Would it be possible to get iMessage working? Made sure serials were right and then tried it but it keeps asking me to call Apple support.

[deeveedee]

iMessage works fine for me, so I'm not sure why.  Google "An idiot's guide to iMessage" and let us know if that helps you.  It may be that mine is working because I first defined my SMBIOS when I installed High Sierra and have been using the same since then.  I've read that iMessage problems can occur with a fresh install of Catalina (where the system did not "exist" before).
