Before Install

• BIOS Settings:
  • set SATA Mode to AHCI , Please Google it if you want to save your data；
  • disable Legacy Option ROMs；
  • disable Secure Boot；
  • disable VT (if you don`t need )；
  • disable SGX；
• Intel AC3165 have been driven in Hackintosh , but works not so good , if you need you can see here;
• Please disable WiFi and Bluetooth in BIOS , and Then install macOS，finally put Bluetooth Driver and WiFi Driver into \EFI\Clover\kexts\Other from \EFI\Clover\kexts\Off；
• You PC maybe reboot When installing are two minutes remaining，dont worry about it ，Select the disk you just installed to boot；
• Bluetooth Driver: BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext BrcmFirmwareData.kext BrcmPatchRAM2.kext ；DW1820ABT
• CPUFriend: 7700HQ and 5700HQ customed CPUFriend in SMBIOS 14,1；Performance mode is Blance，if you want custom it look at this；
• Headphone Driver:ComboJack_For_Dell7567_Only can drive your headphone and microphone, but this driver is modified for 7567 only, other PC may not works;
• I made some scripts in Scripts folder, choose what you like;

Unlock CFG（Wrong operating perhaps damage your hardware）

I recommend the following three methods，tools are in Unlock-CFG folder，针针小站's method is the better，It is also possible to extract the original BIOS without PE, and it is the same to extract directly in Windows 10!

针针小站：【Hackintosh】Dell Precision 5510 解锁BIOS高级设置

独行秀才的老窝：OpenCore引导Mac下解除CFG LOCK锁定

云屋小站：无需刷BIOS！使用setup_var命令解锁MSR 0xE2锁定，修改dvmt值，开启AHCI

Future updates are based on PC witch Disabled CFG lock, please select the corresponding config.plist yourself

match	CFG_Unlocked Laptop	CFG_Locked Laptp
Use config_CFG_lock.plist	better HWP and performance	May fail to boot
Use config_CFG_Lock.plist	ordinary HWP and performance	ordinary HWP and performance

Here is an easy way at the end of this article

  • After changing the network card on this model, the functions have become perfect;

  • Thanks to my friend VicQ. The information of the sound card node produced by him has successfully driven both the subwoofer and the front speaker. It has been submitted to the author of AppleALC for review. It should not be unexpected that the next version should be released. At the request of VicQ, the AppALC.kext file for testing will not be released for the time being, pending the official release;

  • After lookup the webpage, blog and comparing repeatedly, it is best to repair the EC by renaming ECDV to EC;

  • Streamlined renaming rules, drivers and patches；

  • Known issues：

    • The HD630 graphics card can almost only run at about 400MHz, and it can run higher in a very short period of time, I hope everyone going to test it ;

• 2020.3.8

  • Merge 1080P and 4K Config.plist files;
  • Inject the PCI device properties of the network card, graphics card, and sound card. If you replace DW1820A, please manually remove the # from Config.plist / Devices / properties / # PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1C, 0x5) / Pci (0x0,0x0) to Enable it, it helps to solve the problem that some mobile phone hot spots cannot be found;
  • Known issues：

    • The use of ALCplugFix + CodecCommander.kext on the headset may cause the built-in MIC and the headset MIC to be unavailable when the headset is plugged in. This is caused by the incompatibility between the driver and the sound card node. VicQ was modified to make a new driver To solve this problem, still testing;

    • Adding the boot parameter -disablegfxfirmware can solve the problem that the graphics card can only reach up to 400Mhz. Use it at your own discretion；

• 2020.3.15

  • Re-customize the touchpad driver, thank you VicQ brother, use GPI0 interrupt mode to drive, more efficient and more follow-up;

  • Use ApplePS2Controller.kext instead VoodooPS2Controller.kext , resulting in Fn + S Fn + B being unavailable, but can be changed to other shortcut keys in Preferance, but the Screen Brightness option in Settings is hidden, it displays item with an external keyboard. Perhaps you can change it to VoodooPS2Controller.kext, but it is not easy to drive and it is easy to make your touchpad lose driver;

  • The HD630 can reach 1.1Ghz, but it is unstable, which should be the reason for scheduling;

  • Removed unnecessary drivers；

  • Regular updates；

  • Built-in network card；

  • Known issues:

    • Hackintosh sleeps well when plug out AC Adaptor. When AC adapter plug in, Hackintosh can't sleep；

• 2020.3.20

  • In the future, I only provide config.plist based on CFG-locked is disabled . If it is not unlocked, please configure config.plist it yourself;

  • Drive the f11 f12 brightness shortcut keys (thanks to VicQ);

  • Compiled BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext`` BrcmFirmwareData.kext BrcmPatchRAM2.kext Streamlined and merged into DW1820ABT, only DW1820A is supported;

  • Streamlined and Compiled AppleALC.kext into AppleALC256.kext, which only supports ALC256;

  • Regular updates；

  • Known issues：

    • Hackintosh sleeps well when plug out AC Adaptor. When AC adapter plug in, Hackintosh can't sleep；

• 2020.4.30

  • Add config.plist based on CFG-locked enabled；
  • Regular drivers updates；

Disable CFG-lock (Wrong operating perhaps damage your hardware)

Model is not Dell 7567, please do not look at the following methods;

Upgrading the BIOS almost not Enable the CFG-lock and verify it yourself!

1.As you can see from the figure above, the address of the CFG-lock is 0x4DE, and the default state is on ;

2.Start from modGRUBShell.efi (you can add this efi file as a boot item like adding Clover boot item);

3.After booted, enter setup_var 0x4DE to see if the return value is 0x01 or not. If not 0x01 , please shut down or restart the system. Check the tutorials above to repeat；

4.If it returns 0x01, you can try to enter setup_var 0x4DE 0x00 , and enter reboot to restart the system, and use Hackintool to see the following:

So far, disable CFG-lock is complete!

By the way, enable HWP!

Enjoy it!

Thanks for watching !
