Mac OS Ventura, I can't fix a USBW Wake Problem
Hi, I have a problem. I've already tried the instant wake patches and they didn't work. But before, I had a keyboard wake problem. I solved that, but now I have the problem I mentioned.
There are the SSDTs I use

Broadcom BCM4352 Sequoia
I just put a Broadcom BCM4352 in my HP dy1071wm for use with Hackintosh. It doesn't work. I built my efi with OpCore Simplify, followed the guide at https://elitemacx86.com/threads/how-to-fix-broadcom-wifi-on-macos-sonoma-and-later.1415/
and it didn't work. It has the WiFi icon preset with a slash through it, and turning it on does nothing. I used Opencore Legacy Patcher and that didn't work. The card is specifically a Dell one, part number 6XRYC DW1560. I'm running Sequoia 15.3.1. How do I get WiFi working? I can live without AirDrop or other proprietary services, I just need WiFi.

Help! Deleted windows and Mac os from boot
I installed sequoia on my Dell windows 7440. My windows had a wifi issue and my mac os had a sound issue so I figured I'd delete my mac os partition. I then found an option to boot from windows (or so I thought?) I hit reset only to now be on this screen! I can only press F12 to normal bios. Is there a way that I can bypass? I'm trying regain my windows. This happened right after set more free space on disk utility. Maybe I left out something in Disk Genius for boot manager? idk.

same issues the day before, too) and it still wasn't working). And oh boy did we fuck up *everything*.
This ho took me to the depths of the System, folders, apps and features I did not even know existed in Windows. We altered and changed every security feature, we disabled core isolation, Memory Integrity, protection from malware and who knows what else. We had an entire BIOS overhaul, changing almost every setting in Advanced Mode. We really fucked up, and me, being pissed just followed with the stupidity ChatGPT recommended.
After each restart I felt something was off. You know, basic things like UI lagging, screen going black, freezing, features not working, Microsoft Apps not opening - Things that NEVER happened with my PC, ever before.
We continued to delete/disable anything and everything that even mentioned Virtualization. We uninstalled docker, WSL, Ollama, Anti Chaet Software and who knows what else.
Once we exhausted every option, it started recommending for me to change vital system files, the ones that I didn't even have the permission to open. And here, after 2.5 hours of jerking around, I realized, *maybe this ho is not so right about what it's recommending me*.
I noticed, for some reason Windows removed the PIN and asked me to reset it when logging in, the Phone Link app was going ballistic, making "calls" when it was not even connected to my Phone. And after all this, I though "OK, it's finally time to run the VMWare installer once more (after I uninstalled it for who knows how many times) and be done with this", and would you look at that, it's not working. The installer is retuning an error I have never seen before.
Nothing, and I mean *nothing*, **nothing** was working. Installers were not running, my code projects did not respond. Creative Claude didn't launch, not even *Chrome* or Spotify worked (or even just launched), and I finally realized, 𝐼 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝑒𝒹 𝓊𝓅.
I though restarting would fix *some* issues. **Wrong**.
I restarted, and I am met with a bright, vibrant green screen (since I was registered as an insider, it showed me a Green Screen, not a Blue Screen) saying the sweet sweet words "Your PC ran into a Problem".
I was calm, I thought it would resolve the issue on its own. Like, whose PC has not had a blue screen accident, right? Right...? **WRONG**.
It went in a loop of shutting down and rebooting, going in the blue screen message and out UNTIL we reached the recovery menu. I though "THERE IS MY CHANCE" and I tried booting into a Safe Mode. It didn't work. Safe mode with Command Prompt? **No**.
Alright, OK, I am getting a bit nervous now. What about Recovery Points? **Failed**.
I knew I bricked Windows so hard I was not going to be able to recover it, so it was time to say goodbye and reinstal-- BUT WAIT I HAVE FILES.
THIS ENTIRE TIME I FORGOT THE FUCKING FILE ON MY SYSTEM WHICH WOULD NOT BE SAVED AND DELETED WITH A REINSTALL.
*Full Panic Mode*.
I knew generic documents and my desktop contents would be saved on OneDrive (one time it came in clutch) and after thinking a lot, I realized I would be able to recover most of the lost items though sent emails, cloud storage on Figma and Creative Cloud and etc., but there was one thing that I had not backed up, one thing I would *not* back up - My coding project.
**THE ONE I HAVE BEEN BUSTING MY ASS ON SINCE AUGUST AND WAS SO CLOSE TO FINSIHSING**.
I was planning on going with that file, uninstalling an removing myself from the world if I lost that folder.
*Before you ask, no I did not use Git, I don't get how for some reason*
Now I'm trying to retrieve that one folder only.
After some research, I found out that I can open a notepad from recovery options Command Prompt option, which would allow me to "open" a file explorer tab and salvage a few files.
**This is my chance**
I quickly went into recovery options > Advanced Recovery Options > Troubleshooting > Command Prompt and **BINGO**, I have a notepad open. After which I File > Open and **BOOM** 𝐹𝒾𝓁𝑒 𝑒𝓍𝓅𝓁𝑜𝓇𝑒𝓇.

Displayport output on Sequioa
Hi all,
I have an Optimus laptop (Lenovo W530) that i run Sequioa on. Works perfectly fine. Recently i started to read up on what option i have for enabling a second screen on this thing. First, i checked on W11 (advanced display) and i could see that while the laptop screen makes use of the IGPU, the DisplayPort output uses the DGPU (which in my case is the NVidia Quadro K1000M).
Am i toast here or is there some way to get OSX to route the DP output via this DGPU at all?
Of course, if i configure the machine to only use the NVidia, osx can't boot up fully (i have enabled OCLP on it in general as a way to sort out the HD Graphics 4000 drivers normally).
I guess that makes it two questions:
Possible to enable both I and D-gpu and force it to use only the HD graphics + routing the DP via the Nvidia?
With OCLP, would it be possible to patch it in such a way that i can exclusively use the NVidia option on Sequoia?

Help with trackpad on BIGSUR please
I am having issues with ELAN trackpad on a laptop after installing BIGSUR.
please let me know if you have any suggestions.
When i use voodoops2, the mouse movement is very slow and the speed doesnt change anything, also it does not tap to click, however 2 finger scrolling works.
When i switch to rehabman's version, everything is good. ie mouse movement is good and i can tap to click, however 2 finger scrolling is not working. (i'd really like to 2-finger scroll.
Not sure if its worth to mention, trackpad is not detected on settings on whichever version i use.

the separate partition where I stored all version of my codebase; I clicked the most stable one and I sent it to the USB. After switching 3 USBs, I finally got the folder "v.33" on it. This took HOURS, since we were in recovery mode, and it was transferring **all** node modules from **3** subfolders.
*1/34 folders done. * I only salvaged 2 most vital ones, then I gave up.
I tried to go into a Linux Live Environment so maybe di could salvage other versions? For some reason, it crashed every single time.
So now, I took my Windows 11 USB with the ISO burned on it, plugged it in, said goodbye to my old system, and reinstalled Windows 11.
And here I am, with my fresh new install and lost files that will take me MONTHS to recover. All because I wanted to get the experience of macOS.
Lessons Learned: Apple is a Bitch, Microsoft is a Bitch, Do NOT touch registry anymore, Do NOT touch any system configuration anymore and NEVER trust ChatGPT.

I couldn't Hackintosh, I GOT Hackintoshed
This was my first time attempting to run a macOS system on Windows 11 and it went HORRIBLY wrong.
So, as I said, I don't have ANY experience with Hackintoshing whatsoever. This was my first time attempting to run a macOS system on a Windows 11 machine.
First, I though, just like for Windows I would be able to easily download an ISO file and hook it up to VMWare. **Wrong**. I found out that I had to get an ISO file from a PKG file after downloading the desired system from Apple App Store, which turns out to be only available to Mac Users. After researching, this seemed like the most straightforward method, but not for me. I don't (and I mean I DON'T) have ANY access to Macs whatsoever. No friend with Mac, no nothing. So, now I started figuring out how to get the ISO file from a Windows machine.
I shortly stumbled upon a python script (dib something I don't remember the name, its ont GitHub) that allowed you to pull the **OS** Files directly from Apple Servers. I knew it was *not* going to be an ISO, but I thought I was going to be able to convert it easily. **Wrong**.
After waiting for hours (many downloads failed due to my screen going black after leaving the PC idle for too long), I finally got the Sequia 15.3.2 (if the version is right, I don't remember) Folder.
I though *finally*, I'm almost done. **Wrong**.
After a short (3-hour session) with ChatGPT, we figured out that extracting the Installsomething.pkg, then payload and some other files via 7z was doing no good, so I gave up with ChatGPT and turned to YouTube, *again*.
YouTube Video Link
After watching this video, it seemed so easy. I was so angry that I had not found this before. SO, I decided to finally go to sleep at 5:56AM and continue tomorrow.
Little did I know, this was the day I would be Hackintoshed.
I boot up my PC, I follow the steps ***exactly*** as shown in the Video, I even uninstalled and reinstalled EVERYTHING. I FINALLY got the DMG, then the VMDM (if I remember the file format correctly) file, and I was ready to roll, but would you look at that, it aint working.
Specifically, the Patch did not work. After **reinstalling** the VMWare software, the patch said that it was already applied, but when I went to VMWare, the option for macOS was not there.
Now I am pissed. I should **not** have gotten pissed.
I decided to wipe any instance of VMWare off my computer (since at this point, I had already uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times, and it still didn't patch). So I deleted any folders I knew in all common places, and then I asked **ChatGPT** where else I could delete files. Oh boy I should NOT have done that.
I was prompted to delete the fucking registry keys (alongside many other folders and things, which I later found out were not in any remote connection with VMWare software and was in fact silently fucking up my system), specifically one I *think* caused most issues, it was called "WOW[numbers\]Node", which I could not delete *fully* (though me and ChatGPT's attempts got rid of most of it).
After this, the VM *finally* ran (the patch applied, the OS showed), and I attached the image file and I though *"This is **IT**"*. **Wrong**.
After running, VMWare returns with a very kind error, saying that Virtualization is not available on this platform. Now I am really pissed.
I KNOW its available, cuz it says so. I went and checked in BIOS, and yeah, I had it. But I (ChatGPT) found out that something else was using it, which prevented VMWare to use it to run macOS system.
So, me and my Bff ChatGPT (whose context I think was overloaded, hence the idiotic responses which I didn't notice until too late) decided to go on a hunt for any and every system/service that used virtualization and **delete** (main option) or disable them (We did this cuz we already tried the surface options, and it didn't work. I tried it multiple times, over the span of two days (I had the

Unable to detect MSATA
I followed the guide to the best of my abilities, and if you think I missed something, feel free to link it to me so I reread the page.
Currently trying to install MacOS on my Dell Latitude E7450, i got to the part to install it, but it doesn't give me the option for the msata.
I canceled it and went to check the disk utility, and it didn't show there even after selecting show all devices.
I went to the terminal and ran 'diskutil list' and it doesn't show up there either.
I went to search up and found the issue I was having on the dortania guide and installed both of the .kexts just Incase. I did the same process and it still does not show up.
I searched on Reddit and found someone who had the same issue, problem is i was even more confused cause there seemed no solution. My only theory would be clearing the MSATA somehow from the Windows installation. I will be trying that (as i can easily just install it back in the worst case scenario). But I still need the help, I will be sure to keep an update and share the solution if I get it
