dirtyb15 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Still messing around with this 3558, working great with Catalina minus a few issues. RIght now trying to get some USB issues addressed. I am using a small usb wifi adapter and when i had the USBinjectall kext installed it would not work, saying it needed power. If i remove the USBinjectall kext, the wifi adapter works great, but then i no longer have a functioning webcam. Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2020 Use Hackintool.app to generate a custom USBPort kext for your system. Once done, you can remove USBInjectAll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyb15 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Done, working great, thanks! Just one issue left on this laptop. So if i have the APFSdriverloader.efi in the drivers folder i get a black screen and no clover. I have been getting around this by placing the driver in a different location and once clover loads i use the shell to manually load the driver, at which point i can boot from the apfs partition. Is there anyway i can automatically run the shell script once clover comes up? (Or possibly delay the driver load?) Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2020 This is first I've heard that APFSdriverloader is causing a boot issue. Try using the built-in APFS.efi driver 1. Boot into macOS 2. Choose Finder > Go > Go To Folder 3. Navigate to /usr/standalone/i386/ 4. Copy apfs.efi to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyb15 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Yeah, i have tried APFS.efi as well. Actually HFSPlus also causes the same issue. (I can however use the VBOXHfs.) I noticed a couple other people getting black screens with this laptop, and i had asked one poster if he had the driver installed, but he never replied.
