EDP STEPS:
Follow the Steps in the link below, starting with Pre installation, Installation and Post Installation:
http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/documentation/

(OR)

MANUAL STEPS:
In bios, disable secure boot, delete secure boot keys

Format hard drive as GPT/GUID

 

Clover Install Steps:

Make Clover usb drive using this command (replace "Cap" with name of USB drive):

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Cap --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app --no interaction

Then use following options for installing clover to usb drive:

• Install for UEFI Booting only
• install clover in the esp
• Drivers64Uefi->OsxAptioFixDrv-64
• Install RC scripts on target volume

 

After making clover usb drive, open usb drive with Clover Configurator app and change the following:

• In ACPI: Uncheck "FixAirport"
• In Boot: Check "kext-dev-mode=1" and "nv_disable=1"
• In Install Drivers: delete VBoxHFS, install HFSPlus UEFI

 

Then add ApplePS2SmartTouchpad, FakeSMC, NullCPUPowerManagement, and RealtekRTL8111 to 10.11 kexts in usb drive EFI partition 

 

Then boot from it and install normally

 

Post Installation:
Bootloader: Clover
Clover Install Options:

• Install for UEFI booting only
• install clover in the esp
• Drivers64UEFI->OsxAptioFixDrv-64
• Install all RC scripts on target volume
• Optional RC Scripts

 

Clover Config/smbios:

• See attached config.plist, too much to list config.plist.zip

 

Kexts (All kexts installed to S/L/E)

• latest fakesmc, plugins (except LPCSensors), and hardware monitor
• In fakesmc info.plist -> change "smc-name" to "smc-huronriver"
• and change the values in keys: "REV", "RVBF", and "RVUF" to:
• "<02060F00 0059>" for mbp 11,2 smbios
• Add key "ACID" as shown in attached picture 
• ApplePS2SmartTouchpad.kext for mouse, trackpad, and keyboard
• In Content->Plugins->ApplePS2Keyboard Info.plist, set fn mode to "3" and Layout to "GIGABYTE"
• RealtekRTL8111
• Rehab man's ACPIBacklight.kext
• Rehabman's ACPIBatteryManager.kext
• Bluetooth Firmware Uploader
• Custom aDummyHDA aDummyHDA.kext.zip
• CodecCommander
• FakePCIID
• FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400
• FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio
• FakePCIID_XHCIMux

Sound
Install DummyHDA

1) Go to Audio Midi Setup in Utilities and create a new multi-output device
2) Check both speakers
3) Make sure both speakers under the multi-output device have the same sample rate (I'm using 48000hz)

4) Install SoundSiphon, in its preferences, make the multi-output device the pass through device

5) Make SoundSiphon default output device - now you have volume control over multi-output device

Note: Whenever headphones are plugged in, you will need to manually select it as the output device

 

DSDT/SSDT Patches 
Note: All SSDTs and DSDT go into EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched

Note2: Make sure you install the patches in the order listed

 

Extract DSDT/SSDT (taken from Rehabman's guide)

Copy dsdt and all ssdts from linux (located in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables) - ignore the tables in the "dynamic" folder

In osx, download aisle here: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/acpica/downloads

In OS X Terminal:

cd "to directory where you placed all SSDT/DSDT"
iasl -da -dl *.aml

**From this point on, we're only working with the .dsl files

Important Notes:

• There is an issue with the sound card in that at first boot and after sleep, sound will not play out of the front speakers or subwoofer. This is remedied by adjusting the volume with the fn keys. The same issue is present in ubuntu but no fix has been presented as of yet. The more people who add themselves to effected will increase the odds of a fix. See bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1366241
• Due to nvidia optimus not being supported in OS X, the nvidia card had to be disabled. This could be done in the bios but that would be a hassle when switching to windows so instead it was disabled in the dsdt and corresponding ssdts (see Rehabman's guide for details). This is why the nv_disable=1 flag is needed with the clover installer but not with the actual install once everything is done.
• This specific intel hd graphics is not supported in OS X and so a combination of clover fake id, Rehabman's fakepciid kexts, and some AppleIntelFramebufferAzul patches had to be used to remedy this
• 5ghz wifi and bluetooth handoff have been enabled with various clover kext patches
• Sound was enabled with AppleHDA clover patches and the use of DummyHDA
• For TRIM support, go into terminal and type: sudo trim force enable

Thanks for your post.

No problem

 

Updated guide for 10.10.4 (easiest update ever by the way, I literally just ran the update from the app store and did nothing else: most vanilla hackintosh update I've ever taken)

 

Edit: Updated to 10.10.5, same process as 10.10.4

Hi, guys!

 

Do you know anything about support for El Captain 10.11 on this notebook? Is it working? 

[Zackptg5]

I haven't tried it yet but there's no reason why it shouldn't. Everything should be the same except the added clover steps to disable the new security features present in el capitan

Thanks for your post, Zackptg5!

Is the "MANUAL STEPS" necessary if I did all things follow the "EDP STEPS"?

I can't understand exactly between the manual steps and edp steps,

for example, is there some steps from manual steps that still necessary after all the edp steps done?

[Zackptg5]

I've never used the EDP myself but there are some modifications such as the dummyhda that isn't present in the edp bootpack. I'd follow the manual steps

[Zackptg5]

Finally got around to installing El Capitan on it. Got everything up and running like before. Just took some updated kexts, clover patches, and the usb fix (the FakePCIID_XHCIMux and USB rename dsdt patch). Updated the guide with the new stuff.

 

On another note, I attempted the upgrade process with clover and it surprisingly worked...somewhat. There was some glitchiness with stuff like sound and graphics stuttering so I just washed my hands of it and did the old fashioned clean install which worked like a charm.

Great news, thanks!
