NootedRed Crash + I2C Trackpad Not Working on Sonoma (MacBookPro16,3 SMBIOS)

[ddeunop]

Hi everyone, I’m running into a few issues after upgrading to macOS Sonoma.

Before the upgrade, NootedRed was working fine without any additional patches in DeviceProperties. After upgrading to Sonoma, I tried updating the kext, and while it initially works, the system crashes after a few seconds or minutes of use.

Another issue I noticed is that my trackpad stopped working. I’m aware that my trackpad uses I2C HID, but even with that in mind, it’s currently non-functional under Sonoma.

The only workaround I’ve found so far is to revert to my old EFI (with outdated kexts and 7MB VRAM). For reference, I’m using the MacBookPro16,3 SMBIOS, which I chose based on recommendations for notebook setups.

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve attached my current EFI below—please let me know if you spot anything incorrect or incompatible.

Thanks in advance!Ryzen 5 3500u EFI

Sounds like less VRAM. Check from BIOS/Windows how much VRAM is allocated.

To be honest this laptop only have vega 8 and last time when i booted to windows i see that it have atleast 2gb vram and overall shared is 6gb and since this laptop is some kind of old gen since it only have amd ryzen 5 3500u the uefi or bios is aptio setup utility the blue one not with some kind of next gen uefi so i can’t configure the vram

Provide your EFI to check.
