[girardpallet]

Finally i fix it... , just plug the 8Go RAM memory  to the other slot. 

thank anyway

@girardpallet

which recommendation are you referring to?

Refer back to the last few posts. No issue for uranis. His Memory shows correctly as are mine.

 

@uranis,

No ,sdcard reader needs to be patch to work, not OOB.

Hi Jake, is it safe to upgrade to El Capitan from Yosemite (10.10.5)?

[Jake Lo]

Yes, but you'll need to add a few preparation:

• Upgrade to Clover v3270 and up
• Copy 10.10 folder in /EFI/Clover/Kexts and rename it to 10.11 or just rename the 10.10 folder as Other
• Add this to Clover config.plist to disable SIP (between last of KextToPatch and SmBios or Use Clover Configurator 4.24.0

<dict>
<key>BooterConfig</key>
<string>0x28</string>
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>
</dict>

• For audio and boot glitches, add this to Config under KextToPatch, using PlistPro Editor, Textedit or Xcode

Now Download El Capitan from AppStore

Launch the Installer and reboot

On reboot, you'll see a new Clover boot option

• Your current OS X disk
• the installation disk
• the recovery disk

Select the Installation Disk option

Finish the installation

Webcam will be missing, to fix

Download FakePCIID package from Rehabman

Install these to /S/L/E or /L/E

• FakePCIID.kext
• FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext
• FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext

Repair permission and rebuild cache

sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E*

 sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E*

 sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E*

 sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E*

 sudo touch -f /L*/E*

 sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E*

 sudo kextcache -Boot -U /

adding how or where exactly ? I m using Clover configurator is that Ok ? 

 ( I m doing the update as well )

[Jake Lo]

Clover Configuration will wipe out that section. You'll need plistedit pro or Xcode or text editor to add it.

Put it between the last of KernelandKextPatches and Smbios.

 

RtVariables

BooterConfig

0x28

CsrActiveConfig

0x67

SMBIOS

 

Upload your Config.plist if you want me to add it for you.

 

 

Update: Clover Configurator 4.24 fixed the above issue

[Alex Rivera]

Thanks Jake, that's so kexts can be installed through kext wizard or other utilities right?

 

Is there any boot pack for E7440 out there already? Last time I installed public beta (3 I think) I had a couple of issues with LCD brightness, USB 3.0 and headphones not working.

 

Here's what SIP is and another method to modify (disable/enable) it (though I don't know if it works for hackintosh purposes)

Follow this thread. To fix the USB/Webcam issue, installed the fakepciid from the last post of the thread.

Yes, disabling SIP will allow kexts to be install to /S/L/E or /L/E

Hi Jake, I managed to modify the config file as suggested and started the installation. Just before the installation process the setup requested for a restart and after restart, it is now stuck at the Apple Logo. Tried booting in Verbose mode and this is what it says. *** [iOBluetoothController][ProcessBluetoothTransportShowsUpActionWL] -- Error!! -- Something went wrong in the setup process. Could not communicate with Bluetooth Transport sucessfully -- 0x2000 -- 0x8000 ***

 

Please suggest.

[pkp7254]

left it like that for about 30 min and now it says

 

"AppleLPC:start - Could not find IOPlatformPlugin driver.

Try without cache.
