This type of thing don't have permanent links, Apple changes it constantly and brigadier was made exactly because of this, you have to do as the post says.

I try to run brigadier.exe to can download bootcamp drivers but when i run cmd won't open. Flash for 2 sec and close. I have already windows installed in my ssd and i try to run brigadier normal in windows. Maybe i am really stupid or i don't understand very well all instructions. ..BTW i manage to make my m.2 drive internal after i change that ADATA 512 with samsung 861pro and all work very well. Thanks for everything but pls explain me in details how i manage to use brigadier to download BC drivers with apfs support. I really don't want to reinstall windows again just to follow all this instructions

I unninstall bootcamp5 app from windows and i need 6.1 maybe i have a chance to use mac and windows without gpu boot screen.
Thanks very much
I know you are a newbie, but this is totally off-topic here, please go to the BootCamp thread and ask help there - maybe someone can teach you something.
i did all the steps, but my nvme ssd is still seen as external.
what do you need from my side to get this working?
i use this combination
https://www.amazon.de/Crucial-CT500P1SSD8-Internes-NAND-NVMe/dp/B07J2WBKXF/
as boot drive and as adapter
the Aqua Computer kryoM.2 without EVO

If Innie is properly installed, it should make any NVMe drive internal. To begin troubleshooting, make sure that SIP is completely disabled, and confirm that Innie and Lilu are actually loaded. You can locate them in System Information > Extensions, where you should see "Loaded: Yes" in each of their information sections.
SIP should be disabled (see attached image)
Innie and Lilu are loaded (see second and third image)
Innie and Lilu are loaded (see second and third image)
In System Information > Extensions, do you see any “Not Signed” extensions other than Lilu and Innie?
When you run this command are you booted from the NVMe drive, or are you booted from a different drive?
Seems like you put the files in the correct place on the NVMe drive, but "/" is currently a different drive hence the last command fails.
I'm sure @cdf (or someone else) will correct me if I'm viewing this incorrectly...
That warning is fine. I get it too. Is your macOS installation stock (not patched) on a 5,1 (possibly flashed)? As mentioned by @sailmac, do you have other OS installations that you are booting into?
Before we go any further, perhaps you could try reinstalling. Remove Lilu (which should contain Innie) from /Library/Extensions. Rerun the last two commands of step 6. Rerun them until you see "KernelCache ID: ...". Reboot and verify that Lilu and Innie are no longer among the kexts in System Information > Extensions. Reset the NVRAM by booting up while holding the Command-Option-P-R keys. You will have to re-disable SIP after this. Now go through the installation steps again. When you run the terminal commands, make sure that you see "Kext with invalid signatured ... allowed ..." and "KernelCache ID: ...". Rerun the commands until you do.
today morning i did two restarts and now my nvme drive is shown as internal.
i did not change anything.
happy that it works now.

I got the error message as well, however the drive was shown as internal immediately after the first reboot.
Thanks!

I was checking and watched this thread regularly and plan to do this mod later, but I'm realized my PCIe mSATA drive which previously show as external now shown as internal after I'm upgraded to 10.14.4
10.14.4 also bring some cosmetics changes to my GPU VRAM which previously shown as 8192 MB now simply show as 8GB with RX480.
I haven't mod anything, but at least thanks Apple to hear our feedback.

Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this: With a clean install of 10.14.4, my AHCI drive is still seen as external by default. You may have actually hit the beneficial bug mentioned in post #112.
Yepppppp, I can confirm I got this very delicious, beneficial bug. This is awesome, even I don't believe it since my boot volume icon not yellow anymore, and checking in system preferences also indicates my SSD was an internal volume.
For experimental purpose I zapped my NVRAM dan SMC reset dan now my drive turns yellow again, so yeah this is indeed beneficial bug.
I think I should wrap your Innie to Lilu again.
OOT : I don't know Lilu finding way for real usage in genuine Macs too, since I'm previously using it exclusively for my hackintosh machine.
I wonder if there's an NVRAM variable that makes PCI drives internal... You wouldn't happen to have saved the contents of the NVRAM before zapping it, would you?
Lilu is typically used for hacks, but we have successfully used it for the cMP to enable HDMI and DP audio (AppleALC), to enable Night Shift (NightShiftUnlocker), and to make PCI drives internal (Innie).
On the other hand, since viewing PCI drives as external is not just a cMP problem, Innie can also be used for hacks (though I haven't received any reports of such use).
I assure you that it works.
All the information to begin troubleshooting is in this thread. The first thing to do is described in post #155.
