This is a guide for install MacOSX on Dell 7559 Laptop
In this guide, all operation take my Dell 7559 as exmaple, APCI files(SSDT and APCI fixed in clover may not compatible with your hardware, be careful to using them, repatch in need).
- CPU: i5-6300HQ (Skylake,6th) Mem: 4G DDR3, in one slot
- Graphic: Intel HD Graph 530 + Nvida GTX960M
- Display: 1920x1080 FHD screen Disk: 128G SSD + 500G HDD
Before Start:
1 [Guide] Dell Inspiron 13 7359 (Skylake, i7-6500U, Intel HD 520) dual boot OSX El Capitan and Windows. Specs: Skylake i7 – 6500U Intel HD 520 inthgrated Graphics.
Prepare:
1.Understand your hareware:
- Have a look into Laptop Guide from manufacturer
- Check hardware on the normal running Operation Systme(Windows/linux,etc.)
- List and record hardware details
2. Download files:
- Get a working Mac OSX and download installer image from Mac app stroe
- Create bootable USB installer with Clover follow this thread.
- Format usb disk into GPT disk, operate in terminal:
For example,
/dev/disk2
is my usb disk.- Format it as one GPT partiton whit EFI partiton in Terminal:
3.Write installer inamge into usbdisk
For Mojave(10.14):
For Hight Sierra(10.13.x):
For Sierra(10.12.x):
For El Capitan(10.11.x):
4.rename usb disk as 'install_osx'
- Noticed: Dell 7559 with Skylake cpu, OS support from 10.11
5. Install Clover into usb EFI partition:
Here suggest using origin installer.
A.UEFI boot:
check all this:
B.UEFI and Legacy clover boot:
check all this:>
- Noticed: UEFI & Legacy clover Boot model suggeste for this Laptop with i5-6300HQ CPU .
6.replace universal config.plist files frome RehabMan,place need kexts into Clover/Kext/Ohters.
Postinstall:
About save backlight level:
install clover into SSD HDD EFI partiton as well as operate on installer,but check install RCscripts in target partiton, This afect store your backlight level.
Need kextx instalation position:
Due to kextcache reason, some kext cann not work when install in S/L/E. Noticed by RehabMan, you need to install them into L/E
Before install kexts into final position:
Do make sure they are the lasted released, compare with RehabMan's.
Others:
Using my Clover files to test, if your hardware do not work perfect, Repatch your APCI files and check kexts, in additon, RehabMan suggest Kest install into L/E, 'rebuild kextcache' wiht comandline 'sudo kextcache -i /'.
Get hardware work normally:

- By DreamwhiteHi there,
I've decided to install Mac OS Mojave 10.14 on my laptop. I've installed it using the vanilla method (dosdude1 patcher, TINU, clover on USB drive)Actually I need to fix some things such as the CMD key (that changed from WIN key to L_ALT key), the brightness control and the fn keys (such as brightness up and down)
N.B. I've actually ordered a DW1560 (BCM94352Z) WiFi M.2 card because my QCA9377 doesn't work.
Below you can find my CLOVER CONFIG, the ioreg and the acpi/origin folder of CLOVER extracted using the F4 method.
Dell Inspiron 5370 HW:
CPU => i5-8250u
GPU => Intel Graphics UHD 620
RAM => 8GB DDR4 2400MHz
SSD => 256 GB M.2
WIFI/BT => QCA9377 (still waiting for the DW1560 wifi card)

CLOVER EFI.zip - By InstallusHello all!
I have successfully got my Hackbook online, using USB tethering. Thanks to Herve (can't use special characters, you know who you are!), I also got my audio working.
I am very much ready to begin setting up iCloud, the App Store, and iMessage/FaceTime. Those services (especially the latter two) are what got me into hackintoshing.
Problem: The listed services fail to sign me in. iCloud sign in from System Preferences returns 'Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud.'
FaceTime returns a registration process fail, the App Store reports that my computer can't be verified, and iMessage reports an activation error. However, iTunes works, except no Apple Music.
HARDWARE:
Intel Core i7-2630QM
GeForce GT 525M (using integrated HD 3000 graphics instead)
Custom Dell L502X A12 BIOS w/ UEFI support
SOFTWARE:
OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
AppleALC + VoodooHDA for audio
VoodooPS2Controller (trackpad kext likes to cause KP during boot, sometimes)
Any possible fixes for this?
Thanks in Advance!
Installus. - By InstallusHello all! Glad to be here!
I've hacked my Dell XPS L502X with an install of OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 (vanilla install). All is good and all, except that there is no WiFi (planning on buying wifi dongle) and that there is no audio.
The lack of internet irks me, but I can fix that at a later date. What I can't deal with is the lack of audio. I've tried everything, but there is no luck. AppleALC, Voodoo/AppleHDA, among others.
Oh, if I have to, I can reinstall OS X, since nothing important is on the partition.
All replies and answers are welcome!
Thanks in Advance!
Installus (Chaotic)
EDIT: Thanks to Hervé, I've been able to get my audio working, and so can you!
All you need is...
A hackintosh that has the Realtek ALC665 codec (you can't change codecs!)
AppleALC.kext (latest version)
OR
VoodooHDA.kext (again, latest version)
AppleHDADisabler.kext
A USB flash drive (if you have no WiFi on hackintosh)
A secondary computer/way to put files onto the drive (again, no WiFi on hackintosh)
1. Store the files you need on your hackintosh
1a. Download them straight thru your hackintosh
1b. Use a secondary device to download them and store on a flash drive.
2. Open terminal on your computer and type 'diskutil mount EFI' in said terminal. Of course, remove the quotation marks.
3. On your EFI partition, navigate to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
4. Drag n' Drop the kexts you have downloaded on your computer to that folder.
5. Cross your fingers and reboot
5a. (Optional) Suffer a kernel panic during boot because VoodooPS2 doesn't like you.
6. If all goes well, you'll have audio!
Guaranteed works for Dell L502X, however YMMV. - By DiddyKongFully optimizing DSDT & SSDT for OS X Sierra POST INSTALL on a Dell345MT with a i7 - 920(first gen)
I know how this forum feels about 3rd party software, but that was just a crutch, I'm 100% vanilla now which is why I'm now posting for help because I eliminated the possibility having to do with 3rd party. Anyways, with that said I just have a couple things I want to be sure of.
I used a n---bistro to get a App Store copy of Sierra, as I didn't know there were other ways of getting it now from a windows10 machine. anyways, I was able to build a vanilla usb. I couldn't figure the EFI out on my vanilla Sierra-usb, but the EFI on the usb-ni---bistro I had would boot my pre-install and post-install. so I was able to install Sierra. After a few days of figuring out how to remake a EFI and config, I broke my EFI.
So back to my windows10 SSD and I found BootDiskUtility, and that made a EFI usb with the newest version of clover(r4895). So then swapped SSDs back to my OS X, plugged in the BDU-usb, after trial and error I got back into my Sierra. Now with the newest version of clover and no traces of ni---bistro anymore. Then copied the BDU-usb to my SSD EFI and was able to boot without a usb again!! YAY.
Then starting working on fixing my web drivers for my gtx 1050 2gb. Installed the os update so i'm at 10.12.6, pulled my hair out figuring out the web drivers, eventually got them installed and the cuda fixed.
Now all 3 of my screens work, yet windows can't sit 'between' screens, I just simply haven't looked for that fix yet as I want the sys itself running like a top first.
My screen saver works, I don't get stuck in screensaver, I did once before, I believe lilu.kext and whatevergreen.kext fixed that.
Now with all that I felt it was time to give my config.plist a diet cos it was bloated, I generated a config copied the clover settings check for check instead of coping text cos I'm trying to shrink it.
Config.plist boots my system with DSDT-1FE7B5D7
So after the above, This is now where I'm stuck
a 100% correct DSDT and SSDT, from my understanding with a patched DSDT I wouldn't need any options selected in clover on the ACPI page?
So with the patching part that I think I understand how to do it now, but when I extract with F4 every file has RSDT in front of it, I have one that says RSDP.aml and RSDT.aml
so would I just erase the RSDT from the beginning of each file then go from their, which would then leave me with a DSDT.aml and 17 SSDTs?
I know I have to decompile and patch them, but with my file names[DSDT table extract] not matching tutorials online I'm having a difficult time understanding which files I need.
IS the RDST-DSDT.aml my DSDT? it is the biggest file.
which ones that have SSDT in the filename is the SSDT(s) I need to patch?
also how do I know if everything is patched correctly? like if my CPU is fully working and not just sorta working that way when I start running software like photoshop, unity, 10 chrome tabs, my hackintosh doesn't crash
System details
i7 920 (first gen) very similar to nehelam
GeForce 1050 2Gb (3 monitors connected all work, one acer on HD connection, two HP s2031 on HD, using adapters to change all ports on GPU card to HD for screens)
display port, HDMI, and HD
4x 1Gg + 2x 8Gb RAM running at 1066 after injecting smbios with ram info macOS sees all my ram correctly
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500Gb
Thanks to anyone that can help me out, I've been working on my system for about two weeks and this is basically the wall I finally can't seem to figure out how to pass
I can post another info also if it helps
Boot.log
DSDTdump.Log - By yehia2amerProblem:
When I Attempt to wake my Machine from sleep, the screen stays black, although the computer is obviously awake !
This Machine has a 1300W Power Supply So Sleep is Very Useful.
I Tried:
1) FIX_WAK and FixShutdown as per Clover Wiki.
2) Although I am using 'SAPPHIRE Radeon PULSE RX 580 8GB GDDR5', which Should be completely Supported by Mojave, I Also changed the Part Number to '113-4E353BU-O4E' as per this Guide: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/feb18/RadeonRX-580_MacPro.html. The GPU is working GREAT without even Clover Inject
3) Tried to Run this command: disablehibernate.command.zip
4) Tried darkwake=0 to 10
5) Disabled wake on USB & Wake on LAN (BIOS)
