Chris Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 OK new thread here, since iMick helped me through my problem of getting EDP started at all (redownload EDP, reinstall, redownload EDP, reinstall). Now EDP starts but appears to stop at Step 6 myFix, at the point the request for donations appears (unless this is a hint? I thought it was done and rebooted but Chameleon is clearly not installed, so I'm thinking EDP isn't quite finished yet....I've left it now nearly an hour. The page keeps refreshing but there's no sign of advancing beyond Step 6. Thanks, Chris I have the nVidia version of D630. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 4, 2013 intel wireless cards and sometimes Bluetooth can hang installs on that model. shut them off during install and see if it helps. you might even have to remove the wifi card in some instances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have a bluetooth card. I don't have an Intel wifi, I replaced it with a Dell 'osx' compatible wifi. I first disabled it, that didn't work. Then completely removed it, which didn't work either. I'm still stuck on Step 6. I'm going to try to install 10.8 and see if that works. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Just completely reinstalled 10.9 and still get the same problem at Step 6. I did discover something else odd, however. If I'm reading the instructions correctly, after I install OSX using myHack (but before the Apple configuration stage, time zone and Apple ID, etc.), the computer should boot up on its own, without the USB. Mine does not do this, I need the USB to boot. So perhaps the problem is not with EDP but with the installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 5, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2013 yeah you have to install chameleon after install or from the installer utility myhack menu. so what happens if you manually shut it off then boot from the thumbdrive then select your new os install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 So I installed 10.8.4 and it's actually less usable than 10.9, the trackpad jumps all over the place.But I did manage to run EDP and it also seems to hang on Step 6.ALTHOUGH, I was looking at the screenshots in the instructions and it seems like Step 6 is the final step...and it does end with the donation request. Is this correct? So I'm going to reinstall 10.9 and then install Chameleon. I have a basically usable system except for the fact that I have no sound.Can someone tell me what the basic kext is for sound for the D630? Shouldn't I be able to manually install that single kext to get sound since EDP doesn't seem to be working for me?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 5, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2013 you can customize trackpad and audio during an E.D.P. model config. i personally i prefer voodoohda i think it's 2.8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks Bronxteck, I installed voodoohda 2.8.1 with KextHelper b7 and I have sound. The touchpad works reasonably, but it could be better. Do you know by chance which kext I should install for the touchpad? Thanks...if I can optimize the touchpad, I'll be done. EDIT: actually the trackpad is working ok. So no need to add another kext. Anyone coming here with problems regarding EDP finishing on the D630 can definitely contact me. My machine may not be optimized, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 5, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2013 you can try the alps driver from the forum i think he integrated the older trackpad into it. and i beleive rehabman also integrated the code into his git branch.
