Error rtc bad

What this section attempts to teach is how to resolve RTC(CMOS) issues on reboot/wake with certain machines. Most commonly looking like the image below:

The reason that these CMOS and safe mode errors happen is due to AppleRTC writing to certain areas that are not supported by the hardware properly and thus resulting in panics and errors.

To get around this, we’ve commonly blocked out all RTC writes with these types of patches (opens new window) but they’re not ideal for many reasons including both breaking Windows and Linux and disabling potential supported regions like for power management.

So with OpenCore, we’ve got a few options to choose:

• Patch AppleRTC from writing to specific regions
  • They may break in future OS updates
  • Much more difficult for the end user to patch
  • Does not handle EfiBoot writing to RTC
• Omit bad regions from being writable
  • They may break in future firmware updates
  • Much easier for the end user to patch
  • Prevents EfiBoot from breaking your system as well

The former is actually already integrated into OpenCore with the DisableRtcChecksum quirk, but has the downfall of only blocking regions 0x58-0x59 and only working in the kernel level. Best way to know if this option is best, enable it and try. If this doesn’t work, disable as it’s an unnecessary patch.

With the latter, we’re able to block very specific regions of our choice that match our exact model. And we’re able to do this both in the kernel level and firmware aiding with hibernation support. This however will requires much more time and RTCMemoryFixup (opens new window).

# Finding our bad RTC region

For the rest of this guide, we’re going to assume you’ve tested option 1(DisableRtcChecksum) and it didn’t work or you’re having issues with EfiBoot also writing to RTC. To get started, we should first introduce a few ideas:

• RTC will have regions spanning from 0 to 255
• These regions will be in the hexadecimal counting system so in reality will be 0x00-0xFF
• To omit bad regions, we use the boot-arg rtcfx_exclude=00-FF
  • Replace 00-FF with your bad region (or regions)
  • Reminder that boot-args is located under NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 in your config.plist
  • This will also require you to have RTCMemoryFixup (opens new window) in your config.plist and EFI/OC/Kexts folder.
• There can be multiple bad regions
• To find the bad region, we’ll want to split out search into chunks

Regarding splitting out chunks, what we’ll be doing is omitting chunks of RTC regions until we’ve narrowed down far enough to the exact spot that’s bad. You can see the below on how to start:

# 1. Testing RtcMemoryFixup

• To start, you’ll need to add rtcfx_exclude=00-FF in boot-args. If after a reboot the RTC errors seems solved, this will tell you whether your CMOS errors are RTC related

# 2. Split 0x00-0xFF into 2

• 0x00-0x7F and 0x80-0xFF
  • write down the excluded range which fixes the RTC errors and proceed by splitting more into chunks
  • e.g. rtcfx_exclude=00-7Ffixes the RTC errors so you’re gonna split it by half and don’t consider more rtcfx_exclude=80-FF
• Test rtcfx_exclude=00-7F and rtcfx_exclude=80-FF
  • Note you may also get a bad range of 7F-80, or even bad regions split into multiple sections(ex. 0x00-0x01 and 0x80-0x81)
  • You can use rtcfx_exclude=00-01,7F-80 to resolve this

# 3. After testing which regions is bad, shrink even more

• Assuming our bad region was within 0x80-0xFF, you’d next split that into 2:
• 0x80-0xBF and 0xC0-0xFF
  • if you had multiple ranges that are bad

# 4. And you’ll continue on with this pattern until you’ve narrowed down the bad region. Note that you will need to reboot each time to test if you’re still getting CMOS/Safe-mode errors

• Also note that the final bad spot will usually be a range and not a singular spot.
• ie. rtcfx_exclude=85-86 instead of one singular value

Pro tip: To find a value in between 2 regions, I recommend first converting from hexadecimal to decimal, then run the below equation:

• (x + y) / 2

Now lets try to use this with step 1 from earlier:

• 0x00-0xFF -> 0-255 -> (0 + 255) / 2 = 127.5

Now with 127.5, you’ll round up and down to get yourselves an end and a start value:

• 0-127 -> 0x00-0x7F

• 128-255 -> 0x80-0xFF

And hopefully this can help better understand how you got our values from step 1.

# Making the blacklist more permanent

Once you’ve found the bad RTC region, you can now finally add it to OpenCore itself and allow this region to also be blacklisted at the firmware level.

For this, open up your config.plist and head to the NVRAM -> Add section. Here under the 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 GUID, you’ll want to add a new entry called rtc-blacklist

Next you’ll want to add our bad RTC region as an array, so rtcfx_exclude=85-86 will become rtc-blacklist | Data | 8586. This will also work with longer ranges such as 85-89 and such however with rtc-blacklist you must include every entry(ie. <85 86 87 88 89>). Remember to remove the boot-arg once you’re set rtc-blacklist

Next ensure you have NVRAM -> Delete also set as NVRAM variables will not be overwritten by OpenCore unless explicitly told so.

Once all this is done, you should have something similar to below:

Meaning of «Bad RTC battery, check CMOS» on Satellite Pro 6100?

«Bad RTC battery, check CMOS» on Satellite Pro 6100 is the error name that contains the details of the error, including why it occurred, which system component or application malfunctioned to cause this error along with some other information. The numerical code in the error name contains data that can be deciphered by the manufacturer of the component or application that malfunctioned. The error using this code may occur in many different locations within the system, so even though it carries some details in its name, it is still difficult for a user to pinpoint and fix the error cause without specific technical knowledge or appropriate software.

Causes of «Bad RTC battery, check CMOS» on Satellite Pro 6100?

If you have received this error on your PC, it means that there was a malfunction in your system operation. Common reasons include incorrect or failed installation or uninstallation of software that may have left invalid entries in your Windows registry, consequences of a virus or malware attack, improper system shutdown due to a power failure or another factor, someone with little technical knowledge accidentally deleting a necessary system file or registry entry, as well as a number of other causes. The immediate cause of the «»Bad RTC battery, check CMOS» on Satellite Pro 6100″ error is a failure to correctly run one of its normal operations by a system or application component.
