Asus K55VM Help topic

[chan1600]

i used myhack config with generic kexts coz i got other errors while using k55vm extras with myhack...will post that one too

I made a little video for my method.

Try it out. Don't forget to set your boot device as the USB in BIOS.

My method is not the best, but it works.

thank you very much...i was able to create bootable os x usb and install over my windows 7, but it boots everytime to windows and i need to use usb to boot into os x[bare system without any kexts,will install after correcting the booting]
btw i converted my MBR partitioned windows 7 to guid partition without reinstalling windows 7 from this and but i have to create efi partition[Windows Boot Manager] for it to boot...how do i correct this booting thing....
thanks

Go to BIOS Boot Section,
Create a New Boot 
Name: CLOVER EFI
Path:/EFI/CLOVER/CLOVERX64.efi
Make sure you have made the EFI partition and copy the EFI folder to EFI partition before you make this.
And, you should have a folder call Microsoft inside your EFI partition. Do you have it?
It has a bootmgfw.efi inside EFI/Microsoft/Boot/

thank you, copied the EFI folder to EFI partition, have 2 folders named Apple[has extensions/firmware.scap] and Microsoft[ yes it has a bootmgfw.efi inside EFI/Microsoft/Boot/]...still boots to windows...
but im unable to set boot order/path because everything is greyed out in my BIOS Boot Section[ it automatically selects boot order...
1.mac osx[installed with no boot loader],
2.Windows Boot Manager
3.usb if connected
4.cd/dvd drive
etc
 
here are my bios pictures...

 
main menu of the bios shows access level as user
 
 
i have not installed any kexts/patches....my sound,mic and internet are not working...how do i get them to work

Since you have set a Administrator Password Status Installed.
You have to know the password to change the Access Level to administrator
Then, you can Add new Boot option.

 
 
If you don't know your password.
you have to reset the BIOS on board.
Google "how to reset CMOS on asus laptop". There are a software method or hardware method you can use.
Software : Download PC CMOS CLEANER
 
or
***I have not tried to open my asus case before. If you use hardware method, take your own risk. It would void the warranty and may damage the laptop. I have no responsibly on it. If you are not good about computer part, don't open it.
Hardware: 
 Open the case and remove the Battery on the motherboard then put it back

i have opened a ticket with asus ...lets see what they suggest...until then i have to use usb to boot mavericks...

i have no kexts installed...clover configurator shows empty fields...no audio/internet/smbios...etc....how to fix this...

[Bronxteck]

you have to import your config into the app to be able to use and change it. then export it after you are done

[chan1600]

install those kext you will get audio. What is your network card model? You should change the airportd to get the wifi network card work.
Some models don't work.

[zealous2015]

ok installed audio and ethernet kexts… now got internet working....will take a back up and install other kexts...

im still not able to use facetime...it says "server encountered an error processing registration and to please try again later"

[Bronxteck]

regenerate a new serial number  also make sure your ethernet is shown as EN0. if using chameleon make sure to have ethernet built in option in org.chameleon.boot.plist smbios. you can use chameleon wizard for both.
