D630 Mavericks Installer

Axel-Erfurt · February 15, 2014

I've created a Mavericks Installer Application for my D630. (I have a D630 Nvidia)

Maybe it works for other D630 owners.

It could work possibly for other models, if you replace the Extra folder in the D630 folder with your own.

(Feedback are welcome, whether it works or not.)

Download

Unzip it and move or copy the whole folder 'D630Installer' to Applications.

You can replace the dsdt in the D630/Extra Folder with your own.

Do not change the rest of the folder.

You need a 8GB Usb-Stick and the Mavericks Install App from the AppStore.

Start the D630Installer.app in the 'D630Installer' folder and follow the instructions on the screen.

After making the Stick

- copy the folder D630 from /Applications/D630Installer to the Stick.

- Download the Post Installer and copy the unzipped App to the Stick

(after the completion of the stick you can find on the desktop a file named D630Installer.log,

you can read or delete the file.)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When the Installation ask for a Bluetooth Keyboard, just press the spacebar.

edit: important

After Installation is finished, boot from stick, in Chameleon choose your new Installation

and type -v -f

Run the D630InstallerPost.app from the Stick. Reboot.

here is the Installer script, if you wanna change it.

This worked well for my D630 with the exception that WiFi is not supported. Everything else is awesome, even the trackpad works better than other solutions I've seen for similar laptops. Any idea whether it's possible to get WiFi going on these machines?

Bronxteck · March 17, 2014

if it is an intel wifi then you replace it with one that works. they're cheap.

adrouart · March 28, 2014

Thanks Axel -- this worked really really well on my D630 -- everything came up running!

Hi,

Not sure if anyone can help, I originally tried to install on an e6410 but gave up on that and instead decided on trying on my older d630 since it has the nvidia graphics card and the e6410 didn't. Anyway followed the instructions above but cant get even to the install screen the last line on the screen on verbose shows this

"using 64-bit bootcache playlist

BootCacheControl:unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 "

any suggestions please?

Axel-Erfurt · April 8, 2014

did you replace the Extra folder in the D630 folder (on the USB-Stick) before Installation with your own Extra folder?

the myhack.kext in /System/Library/Extensions is for a D630, maybe you should delete it? (on the USB-Stick before Installation,

or on your installation disk - if you have it already installed)

waldo · May 11, 2014

I was not able to get this to work successfully, but after some effort I have managed to install Mavericks on several D630s with nvidia graphics. Everything works, including wake from sleep, Bluetooth, SpeedStep, and WI-FI (with WEP security only, or none). I've tested this on D630s with either T7500 or T8300 processors, running either BIOS A17 or A19. My only known remaining issues are: WIFI won't work with WPA/WPA2 security, and the microphone tends to stop working after waking from sleep. (Suggestions welcome). The process could probably be simplified, but here is what I do.

You'll need to have an external keyboard and mouse attached during the installation, but afterward open Bluetooth Preferences, Choose Advanced..., and de-select opening Bluetooth Setup Assistant when keyboard or mouse are not detected.

1. Carefully insure the BIOS is set as noted in BIOS Settings - D630 - D6xx - OSXLatitude Forum.

Mostly, it is essential to set SATA Operation = AHCI.

2. Follow complete detailed instructions at Pre Installation | OSXLatitude.com (three pages).

The instructions say myHack prompts for your Extra folder (downloaded from Bootpacks). It doesnâ€™t. Just run myHack a 2nd time, and choose install Extra.

Post Installation - EDP (download EDP updates first) - Config Options:

Dell - Dell Latitude - Dell Latitude D630, nvidia graphics card (Laptop)
Kext/Drivers

FakeSMC: FakeSMC 6.0.1082 (Patched with MacBookAir5,1 firmware for IvyBridge)
PS2 kext: ALPS touchpad --> important: leave alone
Audio: VooDooHDA v2.8.4 (Latest) - Latest version should work with almost any machine.
Wifi kext: Kext - Dell DW1395, DW1397,... (last in the list)

CPU & Power

NullCPUPowerManagement (disables AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) OFF
Patch for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement OFF
SleepEnabler (works with NullCPUPowerxxx.kext) OFF
Emulated SpeedSteps (for old model cpus c2d etc..) OFF
VoodooTSCSync (Synchronize the TSC in intel cpus) ON [i'm not sure what this does]
Disable Intel Turbo Boost (on battery) OFF

Do build!

You'll get an error (System extension cannot be used â€¦. AppleACPIEC.kext)

3. Reboot. Microphone and bluetooth should work. Go to network preferences to enable Wi-Fi (hit ok to the New Interface Detected dialog). Do a software update to upgrade to 10.9.2

4. Fix remaining three issues.

There is no wake-up from sleep.

Download the pre-built version of Kozlekâ€™s FakeSMC from RehabMan / OS-X-FakeSMC-kozlek / Downloads â€” Bitbucket
The HWMonitor app included works with this version of FakeSMC, and is very helpful to verify correct operation.
Verify AppleACPIPlatform.kext (from 10.9.2) is in /System/Library/Extensions
Delete AppleACPIPlatform.kext and FakeSMC.kext from /Extra/Extensions
Use KextWizard to Install Kozlek's FakeSMC. (Combine with I8k.kext to save time).

The fan stays on constantly

Download I8k.kext from I8k.kext I/O Kit Driver for Dell Fan - Other Research - OSXLatitude Forum

Get the updated version in post #3.
If you read the posts, please note that I do not need to monkey with /Library/LaunchDaemons/i8kfan.plist, or do anything else to make the fan work as expected. Just install the kext and it works.
Notice you can modify the settings in I8k's Info.plist to adjust the temps the fan runs Low and High.
Use KextWizard to install I8k.kext

SpeedStep doesn't work, and the system runs at itâ€™s slowest speed (about 600MHz)

Delete /Extra/Extensions/VoodooPState.kext
Run Chameleon Wizard

org.chameleon.Boot

Time Out 1

Generate P-States

Generate C-States

Graphics Mode - 1440 x 900 x 32

SMBios (then Edit)

Premade SMBioses: MacBook Pro (5,1) - Core 2 Duo

(This is the earliest version which speed step works)

Save

Themes

Get screen resolution, Apply

Choose any theme you like

After these steps (or individually if you do them separately) run myFix (in myHack). Choose Full.
I also install the Hackintosh Chime Boot Sound from https://github.com/nicoSWD/Carillon.

5. Reboot and verify (try HWMonitor, and maybe Geekbench); customize and enjoy. Someone recommended choosing Start up automatically after a power failure in System Preferences / Energy Saver (to help with wakeup issues, and I do this.
