Now you are missing Bold close tags in section 1. Bloody xcode, could have saved an hour for that .

In section 3 it might be worth while to have some "Shake down" tests/checks for a completed system to detect irregularities before you run into them. And no, I wouldn't have hit the en0 problem. Not too concerned since I went into it knowing I was a Lab Rat.

I'm thinking of covering 'App Store not working, what do' and AppleHDA problems and that sort of thing. Lots of little things that frequently go wrong to cover. I'll throw HDMIAudio in as an extra after the troubleshooting stuff. Yeah, the file you deleted gets regenerated after. You didn't lose anything or put yourself in a weird situation in terms of OS support. Just the way testing goes.

One last thing, include somewhere as to what to do if you are upgrading from Chameleon to Clover as you current instructions detail a clean install. I wouldn't put it in section 2 as that would clutter/confuse things. Move Glossary to section 1. While having Chameleon didn't directly mess with my install, we ended up doing a near clean install by nuking system, library.

Maybe I can put that in it's own section, after the 'Odds and Ends' HDMI audio/WebDriver mod section. It's a good opportunity to recommend nuking /S/L/E on a hackintosh upgrade/explain why I recommend that/push for people to reformat instead of trying to remove Chameleon.

Odds & Ends How do I remove the WebDriver version enforcement? Relatively simple, really. You're going to need a Plist editor for this step - if you have Xcode installed, you already have one. If not, get Plistedit Pro. Go into /System/Library/Extensions. Copy 'NVDAStartup.kext' to your desktop. Right click it, select 'Show Package Contents'. Go into Contents and open Info.plist. Here's the thing you want to modify: http://i.imgur.com/tyHe7Fr.png. For you, it should be currently be an exact version number. What you want to do is change it to be '14' instead. Save the plist and exit. Is there any way to get HDMI audio? Hdmi audio is a pain in the rear end. If you have Intel on-board Graphics, post in the thread and I can help on a case-by-case basis - there is no good one way to recommend. If you have AMD or Nvidia graphics, it is very easy. Important note: you MUST have working on-board audio before doing this. Check it once, check it twice. Make sure your on board audio works unless you want to manually remove this kext from single user mode. Here's the tool you'll need, and a guide on how to use it. Very simple. Made for real Macs, works for a properly configured hackintosh. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/guide-hdmi-audio.1499797/ enMTW fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Jun 8, 2015 |

I have a good 'Remove Chameleon correctly' thing in my head - I can't think of a way to remove boot0 from the drive, but I remembered how to remove boot1/2, breaking Chameleon entirely - along with upgrade tips and whatnot, but I'll write that tomorrow. Need to sleep now. For now, little remains other than writing that and editing Section 1/2/3/4, as needed. I think we'll be ready tomorrow. enMTW fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Jun 8, 2015 |

CreateInstallMedia is still present and works, which is nice. On the other hand: "USB storage devices, including internal SD card readers, may become unavailable after system sleep and require either re-plug or restart to recover. USB input devices may become non-functional on some Macs after several days. USB 1.0, 1.1 and older 2.0 devices may not function." A new low, even for a DP1

Just booted the installer in Clover. Works fine. You can turn off the new security features by using an option in the 'Utilities' menu.

Installed OS boots fine too. A little broken (who am I kidding, a lot broken) like all DP1s, but it works on a hack. No native Maxwell drivers.

Ok the other computer is done and I managed it pretty much with the instructions and tools given. There is the install trip report. Had to find the network driver since it was different, a Realtek8xxx something. Got it here http://lnx2mac.blogspot.co.nz/p/realtekrtl81xx-osx-driver.html After applying Clover to your OS disk if it doesn't boot by giving you the "No go" sign, the config.plist is either wrong/corrupted. Mine was a simple mistake of having 2.1 instead of 3.1. If you use migration Assistant to bring back you old user account, you will have to do some clean up in your S/L/E especially if you used Chameleon/Myhack etc. While it worked with the extra stuff in, clean it up anyway to avoid trouble. Use System Information to see where it is from and if it is loaded or not. I should be only a single digit number of weird hold overs. Permission and rebuild cache for S/L/E as always after messing with it. Can someone check is AppleHDA suppose to show up as Unknown, dated 19/9/2014? After using Migration Assistant your machine will look like it has hanged or loading really slowly. Let it get half way before restarting via power button. It should be fine from that point on as it should boot properly and enter Migration Assistant again to do the transfer. Migration should be the last thing you do. Don't be a hero and try to copy the Trim numbers by hand. If you use the App Store installer fresh from Apple, you won't need the Combo update to get to 10.10.3. When you install sound, be sure to know what chip you have just in case it spits out the wrong number. ie ACL1150, 887 etc. Also turn on the "Show volume on menu bar" and feedback so you don't confuse yourself wondering if you got it working. I couldn't get HDA enabler in Clover/kext and have the command line program run so if it refuses to run stick it in S/L/E instead. Warn them about the command line interface dialogue so people don't get worried about it. Related to this is that ask people to make sure that their Network is working so tools like this can be DL on the fly. Do not try to be a smart rear end and modify the Installer USB stick in anyway. Even a new folder which is then deleted will invalidate the install and it might be the same for the Clover boot Stick. If you going to have tools etc on hand, stick them on a third stick. It might be a good idea to have your stick boot loader be different theme to your main so you can tell quickly which one loaded. The GA H97M D3H F12 boot selection screen might wig out so enter bios to change boot disk. That's it I think. Use the info as you like. But it is good to go and should be almost the same level of maintenance as a real Mac which should almost none.

Got it. All that was good advice. I'll incorporate that into a new version of Section 2, drafting it now. I think we're ready to do the new thread whenever the OP wants.

WebDriver workaround for latest 10.10.4 beta: The 10.10.4 Nvidia beta driver doesn't work, oddly. The old one (http://us.download.nvidia.com/Mac/Quadro_Certified/346.01.02f04/WebDriver-346.01.02f04.pkg) does though. Reinstall it and do the mod to remove the strict version check. Works fine! Oh, one thing: in order to install the old one without an error right at start, get this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/301416-nvidia-web-driver-updates-for-yosemite/page-21#entry2132530 The app removes all restrictions (version, SMBios, etc) from the Nvidia installer. enMTW fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jun 10, 2015 |

Any tips for configuring my Clover USB to install Yosemite on an ASRock H97m Pro4 board? I found this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/302041-guide-asrock-h97-pro4-yosemite-with-clover-uefi-installation/ But it's from over 6 months ago and references an older version of Clover and an older version of the Pro4 BIOS. Would the kext/config.plist/efi files offered in this guide still work for me? EDIT: Wait, it's not that much older. It should be fine.

Can I just use multiple partitions on the same flash drive, rather than multiple flash drives as your guide instructs?
|
# ? Jun 10, 2015 22:10 |

Use multiple Flash drives. The USB install will break and refuse to boot if ANY Changes are made after creating one. I only added some tools to it's folder and this was enough to break it even after deleting the items I had to recreate the installer. Also use the newest App Store version as it will save you step or two. Throw your tools on a third.

Got Yosemite up and running! Everything seems to be working, audio was the hardest part but it seems to be working now. Thanks for the tips, oohhboy & enMTW. The next test will be setting up Windows 8 parallel. Is Boot Camp Assistant a good way to do that on a Hackintosh?

Boot Camp is a good way, if you want to be able to boot in in Parallels/VMware/etc. If not, you can just install normally. Use Boot Camp assistant to partition/etc, boot the installer as a NON-EFI volume. Under boot selection, select the installer drive that does not have UEFI in front of it. Boot and install. (You have to install as non-UEFI as that's what real Macs do. They emulate BIOS as opposed to using UEFI)

One issue that has been bugging me is getting my monitors to operate past 10.8.5 (Mavericks is where this issue appears). In particular anything by Dell (a 2407WFP and a U2713H) which just refuses to get reconised no matter what way you plug it in. Now this appears to be a legitimate mac problem as people upgrading to 10.9 has noticed their external monitors stop working or refuse to display at native resolution, even when forced. There is a patch that someone has made here, http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3027030 It seems to be the EDID not getting properly loaded, but nothing kicks in for me after running that script. It does tangentially appear to be related to the Nvidia drivers as trashing them and forcing back onto OSX defaults (while completely breaking the display panel in the process) kind of showed you could get it working - but beyond that I've had no luck. Has anyone seen any solution to this?

OS X 10.10.4 will be introducing an official way to enable TRIM for third party SSDs. http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/12/os-x-el-capitan-trim-support/ This means you can remove the TRIM autopatcher from Clover and just use the official thing, once 10.10.4 comes out. Notably, the command is not in the current 10.10.4 seed.

Other monitors work fine on all ports so it's not like the card isn't working. Curiously a similar problem happens on Windows with the 2407WFP failing to to get properly recognized (it claims it's a generic display) - but this main issue has happened on two separate machine builds and I only got the displays properly working when I installed 10.8.5, Mavericks and beyond would just leave the monitors in standby. Wiping any Nvidia KEXTS did force the monitors to display at a very low resolution, but even with the Nvidia Web drivers and SwitchX I wasn't able to get it up and running without it looking like a mess.

I've exclusively used Dell displays for the past....10 years? I never had the 640 but I did have higher end Kepler cards and they worked fine with my monitors at the time. Are you using HDMI to attach the monitors? Nvidia does weird poo poo with HDMI - stick to either Display Port to another DP jack (mini or otherwise) or DVI to DVI. It's a problem in Windows too.

By the way: There is one thing I didn't cover in my guide (and have no intention of covering, too risky for most) and that is Ozmosis. Ozmosis is a BIOS (UEFI) mod that enables you to boot OS X with no third-party (Clover, Chameleon, XPC etc) bootloader. Flash the new BIOS and just press F12 and select an OS X drive. It does have one benefit beyond that, one thing it can do that Clover can't: It can boot FileVault 2 volumes. [Update: Tested and works. It's not straight forward, Oz needs a modification to allow you to actually type/move your mouse in the FV2 'enter password' field, but it does work after a mod) It may also fix the iTunes Video DRM issue - if it has the configuration tables FairPlay requires, DRM video would work on machines with processors newer than Sandy Bridge. Solving the last remaining major Hackintosh problem. I'll check that tonight. EDIT: iTunes DRM works in Ozmosis. So there's another thing only it can do. - Obviously I don't recommend people modify their BIOS to get FileVault 2 support, though. Clover has support coming imminently. After years of the issue remaining open on the tracker, of FV2 never working in Chameleon/XPC/Clover/etc there is good news! Someone has figured out why it doesn't work in Clover. Wait for it. Keep waiting. Clover is missing......the mouse cursor images that the FileVault 2 UI expects. The images are missing, so the UI hangs. That's the only issue. . Years of human effort have lead us to this moment. Since it expects them to be in the EFI firmware, a new 'module' will need to be written to pass along a file system containing the mouse cursor images. Probably coming to Clover in two weeks or so, whenever the guy working the ticket finishes it up. enMTW fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jun 14, 2015 |

What's the story these days on Handoff/Continuity-compatible wifi/bt cards? The Intel mini-pci card that came with my Gigabyte motherboard was never compatible with OSX in the first place and its very existence was giving me issues. I pulled it in favor of just using hardwired network and a USB BT dongle. The problem I'm seeing though is there's the interference issue between USB3 and Bluetooth, so every now and then my trackpad goes all choppy. Would be nice to get a real card to avoid these problems.
