N56VB-Hackintosh (10.12.6)

THIS REPO IS OUTDATED AND CLOVER BASED, PLEASE REFER TO OpenCore REPO FOR LATEST VERSION

This Repo Contains proper kexts and other miscelaneous to run MacOS Sierra in a N56VB (Intel HM76)

Usage:

Install provided Kexts and other miscelaneous and use provided CLOVER folder.

Working:

• Audio: VoodooHDA 2.9.0d10 + AppleHDADisabler by Slice, Zenith432

• Graphics (HD4000): Clovers’s HD4000 config by RehabMan with GFX0 to IGPU rename

• Trackpad: ApplePS2SmartTouchpad 4.7 beta 5 by EMlyDinEsH and PrefPane (Scripts by Masterscript, Kexts and Daemons by Rehabman)

• Wifi: IO80211Family kext with patched AirPort.Atheros40 by chunnann. NOTE: Some mixed bgn routers don’t work

• EthernetLAN: AtherosE2200Ethernet kext by Mieze

• BackLigth: Implemented using new RehabMan guide for Sierra 10.12.4+ (PNLF hot patch (SSDT-PNLF.aml) into Clover’s ACPI folder + BacklightInjector kext + patch for AppleBacklight in config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch)

• Battery Stats: Fixed using custom SSDT-BATTERY.aml made by me porting DSDT patch from RehabMan's repo to a SSDT approach. This depends in some Clover's renames in original DSDT (added in config.plist):

  • Rename ECOR to XCOR

  • Rename SMBX to XMBX

  • Rename SMB2 to XMB2

  • Rename BIFA to XIFA

  • Rename _BIX to XBIX

  • Rename Method SMBR to XMBR but not method calls

  • Rename Method SMBW to XMBW but not method calls

  • Rename Method ECSB to XCSB but not method calls

  • Rename Method TACH to XACH but not method calls

• USB:

  • Internal 2.0 HUB (USB Webcam and USB Bluetooth) need USBInjectAll Kext by RehabMan with custom SSDT-UIAC.aml in CLOVER/ACPI/patched and renaming EHC1 to EH01 and EHC2 to EH02 (Clover Rename Patch)

  • USB 3.0 Port: Work with native Apple drivers by renming XHC1 to XH01 and XHCI to XHC_ in DSDT (Clover Rename Patch)

• SMBUS: Inject the missing DVL0 device using SSDT-SMBUS.dsl hotpatch from RehabMan's repo

• Power Managment: Use SSDT-PM.aml generated with ssdtPRGen.sh by Piker-Alpha following RehabMan's native PM guide. Also enable AppleIntelCPUPM=true and KernelLapic=true

NOTE: Recomended to run these to disable hibernation and prevent problems (RehabMan's reccomendation)

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0

• Internal Fan Speed: Use SSDT-FAN.aml compiled from original black.dragon74's file

• Hotpatch Config SSDT: SSDT-Config.aml

• Keyboard Fn Keys: Use ACPIKeyboar kext by RehabMan's with my custom SSDT-RMKB.aml (and rename patches for CLover) configured to delegate keypresses to ELAN's PS/2 driver by EMlyDinEsH

Not Working:

• Bluetooth: There is no kext for our chip version (MacOS will recognize it but you will never get to use it -our chip needs certain FW download that is not implemented in kexts-)

Miscelaneous

• OSI Check: use _OSI to XOSI rename in Clover with RehabMan's SSDT-XOSI.aml from hotpach repo
