Since Catalina this has been fixed for most machines. Just a few boards are still affected. Set your RAM to 2933MHz manually which is the highest clock currently used on a real Mac. Issue should be fixed then. New MacBook Air has 3733MHz Ram installed 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/343112-release-macos-10154-is-out/page/7/#findComment-2715433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kode54 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 DRM stopped working for me on 10.15.4, after I got it working from 10.15.3. Would this be something affected by having SIP enabled? As of 10.15.4, with shikigva=80, I get working DRM, for between 5-10 seconds, then a crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (Code Signature Invalid). Apple TV+ sometimes works, but otherwise, it likes to crash with this. Netflix in Safari just stops playing video after a few seconds.

chatelp Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Hi all! I found the solution to my problem. Albeit being very specific to my case, I'm putting the information there in case it's useful to someone else (@Dragster27). So, my 'wake to black screen' issue on Catalina 10.15.4 was related to the modified version of acidanthera's BrcmPatchRAM I was using to make my DW1820A work. These problematic drivers on 10.15.4 were available on OSXLatitude and made by swede420. Since they are the only drivers that work correctly with DW1820 today, there is no more readily available / fully-working solution for this particular card on 10.15.4. AFAIK, this modified version of the drivers was loading a more recent FW to the DW1820A than the one still used by the official BrcmPatchRAM. I switched to a new DW1830 card and used the latest official release of acidanthera's BrcmPatchRAM. And now everything is working mostly smoothly: sleep/wake, wifi and bt. So, even if you don't have a DW1820A card, if you have this wake to black screen issue on 10.15.4, it may well be related to your wifi card + driver combo. Make sure to update to the latest version of acidanthera's BrcmPatchRAM.

chatelp Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Hervé said: These drivers are not problematic for everyone and the issue seemed specific you your own build. I use those same drivers on my Latitude 7490 fitted with a DW1820A (not a DW1820 which is Qualcomm and unsupported) and have had no issue with Sleep/Wake since updating to 10.15.4. Yes, as I was saying, very specific. Nonetheless, these drivers still rely on BrcmPatchRAM2.kext, which has been deprecated by BrcmPatchRAM3.kext for Catalina, am I right? Problems are bound to happen at some point :/ From Acidanthera's doc: "Starting with macOS 10.15, this is the only supported configuration because due to framework changes BrcmPatchRAM.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext are incompatible with macOS 10.15" Cheers ! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/343112-release-macos-10154-is-out/page/7/#findComment-2715572 Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeveedee Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) EDIT: Without making any changes to my Dell Latitude E6410 EFI, I simply ignored "An error occurred while preparing the installation" and "The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk" and am now running 10.15.4 on my Latitude E6410. I needed to delete '/System/Volumes/Data/macOS Install Data' after the upgrade. The problematic 10.15.4 upgrade leaves me wondering whether the upgrade is fully completed (even though the version is now reported as 10.15.4). I am running Clover (legacy) r5109. --------------------------------------------------------------- Am I missing one or more Clover (Legacy) bootloader drivers that need to be installed for the 10.15.4 installer? I have only installed Clover BIOS drivers FSInject and APFSDriverLoader. Details below. I have installed Clover (Legacy) r5109 with Clover BIOS drivers FSInject and APFSDriverLoader. Despite the error "An error occurred while preparing the installation," the "Catalina - Install" is created on my SSD. If I reboot from the 10.15.4 "Catalina - Install" (which still boots, despite the error above) the 10.15.4 installer fails with "The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk." Does this "bless tool" error indicate that I am missing a required CLOVER BIOS driver?

AlfredoM Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) In my hack book (see Signature) the bootarg entry boot-arg = rtcfx_exclude = 00-FF was in my config.list, which then came the message in Catalina 10.15.5 that the time is not correct and must be set. It was then set to 1.1.1999. Then restart and the same, BIOS was reset to default settings. The kext RTCMemoryFixUp.kext had no purpose.

deeveedee Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) While examining the differences between my socket 1156 / H55 desktop (which has the BIOS reset problem with 10.15.4) and my Dell Latitude E6410 (which does not have the BIOS reset problem with 10.15.4), the obvious differences are BIOS manufacturer and that the laptop has a real EC (renamed from ECDV to EC) and my desktop has a Fake EC. Has anyone with a Fake EC been able to install 10.15.4 without the BIOS reset problem? Does anyone with a real EC have the BIOS reset problem?
