Hi there,

just wanted to post that I did a deploy to get the newest Clover 4061 from @syscl 's script and then did the update to 10.12.5 via the App Store. As always: make a backup!

It updated smoothly.

greetings

specs: Dell XPS 13 9350 Full HD 1080p i5 6200u 8GB Ram 256GB Samsung PM951 NVMe latest Bios Version (release 02 May 2017): 1.4.15

/edit: still having wifi issues after sleep. Wifi is very slow. Reboot helps. Any solutions to use wifi after the lid was closed? Quick fix: if you wake your XPS from sleep and wifi is slow, do a software sleep (top left corner -> Apple -> Sleep), wait till Power button goes dark. Press Power button -> Wifi is fast again. /edit2: this sometimes leaves you without working audio. Re-Sleep fixed it for me.

I didn't get it work. After installation, the script runs and finishes successfully, but nothing changes. I'm using the stock Dell 1820A wireless adapter and WiFi doesn't show up. When resuming from sleep, the OS freezes and crashes. Touchpad is also nearly unresponsive (soft tap doesn't work).

@furrybanana Congrat!

@odelrio FYI, the DW1820 is the reason caused your patches failed and sleep panic. For soft tap, you should change setting in System Preference->Touchpad, default MacBook behaves the same without changing this setting.

@syscl You were right about the touchpad. If there is no way to make it work, I will replace DW1820 with DW1560 as soon as my warranty expires. Thank you very much!

Edit: I seems that DW1830 is the recommended one although it is not the most reliable card in Windows (https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/5hxxk4/xps15_9550_dw1830_issues/). Correct me if wrong.

I had no issues with the 1830 in Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I only have issues with Wifi being slow after sleep/ lid close in macOS.

Nice to know. Thank you.

Just a PSA and an opinion, it shouldn't void your warranty to swap out the wireless card - unless dell can prove it's what caused a system failure - which is both nearly impossible to be the case and/or proved or even questioned by Dell. If you're paranoid (probably not a bad idea) about it you can swap the card back out before getting warranty service.

Thx for the sleep tip :)
