Психанул все удалил что делал , вот решил попробовать снова но уже с помощью ребят на форуме .

Good evening everyone, guys, I need help assembling the EFI, if this is possible, I will be very grateful for your help. I tried to assemble it myself until I got to the point where there were 12 minutes left and everything froze, I struggled with it for two weeks, coming home from work every evening and nothing happened. I freaked out and deleted everything I did, so I decided to try again, but with the help of the guys on the forum.

Post a copy (zip/compress and attach to a post here) of the OpenCore EFI you are/were using.

Confirm the make and model of the components present in your Dell Vostro 3515 laptop, i.e. CPU/APU, discrete GPU, whether it has a MUX switch, WiFi/BT card, Ethernet controller, Audio codec, whether you have created any custom SSDT's.

A copy of your system DSDT.aml would also be helpful.

The text file you provided answered a lot of the questions about the components in your laptop.

• AMD Ryzen 7 3700U - CPU
• RX Vega 10 graphics - requires NootedRed.kext
• Realtek ALC236 - Audio Controller - Requires AppleALC.kext and compatible layout-id
• USB Webcam - Internal - requires USB port configuration and for the port to be set with correct Internal connector type.
• Realtek PCIe GbE Family Ethernet Controller - requires RealtekRTL8111.kext for macOS.
• 670p SSDPEKNU512GZ NVMe INTEL 512GB - NVMe drive - requires NVMeFix.kext for correct power management.
• KINGSTON SA400S37/240G - SSD
• Realtek Bluetooth - internal - not supported by macOS
• Realtek 8821CE Wireless - not supported by macOS

Other than your Realtek WiFi/BT card the components in your laptop should work OK.

Which drive (Intel or Kingston) are you planning to install macOS Sonoma on to?

You will need to find a third-party kext or Application that works in Sonoma, f you want to stick with the Realtek WiFi/BT card.

My recommendation would be to swap it for a compatible Broadcom WiFi/BT card, as long as you are running macOS Ventura or older. See compatibility list below.

Mini PCIe | Wireless Buyers Guide

If you want to run Sonoma, then you need to use Itlwm.kext, or my preference Airportitlwm.kext, along with a compatible Intel WiFi/BT card. See compatibility list below.

Depending on which WiFi/BT card you end up using will dictate which Bluetooth kexts you need to add to your OpenCore setup.

Доброе утро. Спасибо что откликнулись на просьбу о помощи на сборку EFI. Совместимую карту я заказал Broadcom WiFi / BT , по вашей рекомендации , пока придет буду заново собирать EFI.
Установку macos буду делать SSD KINGSTON так как он был куплен для этих целий .
Еще рас спасибо .

Good morning. Thank you for responding to the request for help with the EFI assembly. I ordered the corresponding card from Broadcom WiFi/BT, according to your recommendations, while I reassemble the EFI.
I will install Macos using the KINGSTON SSD since it was purchased for these purposes.
Thank you again.

As you have ordered a Broadcom WiFi/BT card for your laptop you will need to install macOS Ventura, in place of Sonoma.

Thanks for confirming the Kingston SSD will be the macOS boot drive.
