E5550 help #36

Closed MazenAyman466 closed 2 years ago

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

Good day, I have a Dell Latitude E5550 I tried the latest EFI for monterey and for big sur. I even tried the 1.7 EFI and nothing seemed to work. I have a big sur usb drive with the efi mounted on it but all i get is the picker and nothing else. i can see the volume of my usb but when i try to launch it, it shows the apple logo then it reboots. any help would be appreciated

Injector got useless with Monterey, so now we use BlueToolFixup

it is working now but the trackpad buttons stopped working is that due to the kext being enables?

SkyrilHD commented 2 years ago

That should not happen. Hmm can you check in system preferences > trackpad if force touch is enabled. If yes, disable it

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

Disabled it and nothing.

SkyrilHD commented 2 years ago

Buttons above or below trackpad?

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

Actually both are not working.

SkyrilHD commented 2 years ago

Ok this needs some investigation as the new kext was tested with my E7250 which only has a trackpad. So I did not implement any trackstick stuff (as it is my only device I can test).

Can you open an issue in the VoodooPS2 repo? https://github.com/SkyrilHD/VoodooPS2-ALPS/issues

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

That was odd i changed it the force click to off then added the old efi i had. Reboot. Downloaded the new efi v2.0. Changed the internet thing you told me reboot and it worked.

SkyrilHD commented 2 years ago

The old EFI has a very old PS2 kext which I decided to update and put it in the v2.0 EFI. As it is in beta a few bugs might happen

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

Oh okay got it. I just thought it was weird because i didnt change anything from the previous one.

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

Everything is working great right now and i am happy with everything. Just a question do i need to do anything for backup or as a just in case or last resort.

SkyrilHD commented 2 years ago

Backup for what exactly?

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

Sorry about the late reply. What i mean is that there is no chance that the efi file might get lost somehow because if then i would have no way to get the OS back and running.

SkyrilHD commented 2 years ago

You can't lose an EFI folder except maybe when you install Windows. But if you really want a backup, you can put the EFI folder inside a USB stick which is formatted FAT32 with GPT

SkyrilHD commented 2 years ago

Closing this issue as it is fixed but we can still chat here

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

Hey, i updated the EFI to the latest, did all the changed i did before like the smbios, the itlwm, bluetooth. It was pretty much identical. But now when i boot into the MacOS i never get passed the apple logo even in recovery mode

MazenAyman466 commented 2 years ago

Got it working,i did as you instructed me before with the ITLWM and apparently that was the thing keeping it from booting up. The configs you already made are working and good. But just a warning that there was horizontal glitches after i did all that and the first way you had didn't work but the second did.
