wsscott73 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I've downloaded OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, the current version, and the zip file that has Diskmaker and Chamelion, and have tried twice to create the install USB, but it fails. Everything starts up fine and creates files, but it continues to run for hours and never completes, then if I click on the window it shows the error Apple Time Out. Help is appreciated.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 13, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2015 Try manually creating the installer from guide here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsscott73 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I tried creating the USB using the Guide you referred me to and still having a problem. This time when I started the installation it showed the error "Can't find System/Library/Kernels/kernel. So I went back into the the USB and added a new folder called "Kernels" to the System/Library folder, and then copied the Vanilla Kernel that I had put in that location into the new Kernels folder. Now it doesn't show an error message, but it stops installation and goes to a black screen. Also I'm not sure if the Chameleon loader is working properly. (Is there supposed to be an image of a Chameleon that appears? If so, then I'm not getting that on the screen). Here's what happens. I insert the USB Disk, turn on the system (Dell Latitude E6410 with Intel video), go to boot options, have it boot from USB. Then it starts the boot. The screen is silver, and there's an image of a hard drive with an Apple logo with a bar below it that is decreasing in size, ie. I guess its counting down. I hit enter then the bar is gone and just the hard drive image as described above. I hit the enter key, and the image disappears, and then the normal Apple logo appears, and then a bar below it that starts darkening from left to right, like a normal boot. It gets about 1/10 of the way across, and then stops and the screen goes black. That's it. Then I have to hold down the power button to turn off the machine. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted April 15, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2015 after hitting the space bar type in -f -v -x then hit enter it should show you verbose log as it boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2015 This has nothing to do with myHack. Moving it to E6xxx threads... Dell Latitude E6410 with Intel video will not run well with Yosemite as your graphics is not supported whatsoever, not even CI. If you still insist on installing Yosemite, you could try removing AppleIntelHDGraphics*.kext from your Installer. System will be laggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsscott73 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks. I deleted those files and it installed fine and seems to run okay. I then downloaded Chameleon 2.3 and ran it, but now it won't boot without the USB. I think it has a black screen and a shrot error message, something like No Boot. Don't have it on right now. Can you help me fix this? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted April 30, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 30, 2015 you have to also install chameleon to your OS X drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsscott73 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 I did that. I downloaded the package and ran install. I've been reading that I have to do something with the EFI partition, but not sure what. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2015 You'll have to delete the AppleIntelHDGraphics* from the Installed HDD as well. Installing Chameleon might have overwrite some settings in your Extra folder. Try replacing that with the one in the Installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
