DELL XPS 13 (L321x) - myHack (Chameleon) guide Credits: Special thanks to myHack (conti) Zenith432 - GenericUSBXHCI - USB 3.0 qwerty12 - DisableIntelTurboBoost for Power Management Mirone - patched AppleHDA Dolner - codecCommander - enable audio after sleep Ulysse31 / Rehabman - Cypress Touchpad Rehabman - ACPIBacklight/NullEthernet Piker-Alpha - ssdtPRGen.sh Sorry if I miss anyone else and I'm sure I have Hardware Configuration: BIOS: A08 CPU : Intel Core i5-2467M 1.6ghz Chipset : Intel QS67 RAM : 4GB DDR3 Video : Intel HD 3000 Audio : Realtek ALC275 Monitor : 1366x768 HD : 128GB mSata SSD WiFi : Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 802.11 (switched with DW1510) What works: Webcam OOB WiFi(toggle on and off (Fn+F2)) Audio (internal speaker / headphone) Keyboard backlit (Fn+F6) Brightness slider (remap F1/F2 with Karabiner.app) Sleep / Wake (with LID close / open) Mini Displayport Video HD3000 graphics QE/CI Cypress TrackPad (with up to 3 fingers) No built-in Ethernet (NullEthernet by rehabman) Not Tested: Mini Displayport Audio (no hardware to test) Let's get started... I use the myhack method for this build, so follow instructions to build your USB installer, set BIOS settings and run the OSX Installation from here http://myhack.sojugarden.com/guide/ For best results, set BIOS to default, apply it and then go back to set Sata Operation to AHCI Use USB port on the left (USB 2.0) for best result to get Installer to boot This Hack can only be done on an MBR partition, not GUID! Format USB Installer with MBR format Launch myHack and create the USB Installer Patch Installer for MBR with attached (instructions included) MBR-Patch_1095_13F34.zip Launch myHack again Select "Install Extra" and point to the Extra folder attached Extra.zip Boot up system with USB installer disk with the -v -f flag Format the HDD with Disk Utility (MBR/Journaled Extended) Continue with the Installation Select "Use my Own" when prompt and point to the Extra folder in the root of the USB installer When prompt to remove problematic kexts, select Yes, Yes, No After a few minutes, computer will restart. You may encounter "Operating System not found", boot with USB Installer and select the Installed OS X drive Continue to setup your account. Launch myHack and select "Install Chameleon" to the root. You can remove USB Installer now After logging on: in System Preferences Enable Clicking for Trackpad Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere for Security & Privacy Install Karabiner: set F1/F2 to increase / decrease brightness

Start from here, go through all the documentation before starting.

You can find some USB wireless devices here that's been tested to work.

Sorry if this response is a little late, but it might help others reading this. The DSDT was already patched to disable the Nvidia and include the patch for HD 4000. I just notice the bootpack from the guide is for 10.9 which include a patched FB. If you're installing with 10.9.4 or 10.9.5, you'll lose QE/CI with the included FB patched for HDMI. You'll need a new patched FB. I have the issue for my E6430 with HD 4000. Restore with the vanilla kext and you should have QE/CI again but without HDMI audio. Let me know which version of Mavericks you're installing and I'll patch it for you. Note: not sure why the author install kexts to S/L/E rather than in E/E since he's using myHack method but I can validate that you could install all the patched kext to E/E and run myHack/myFix (quick) without an issue.

Try this one here. Might have to change the layout-id.

You'll have to replace/add some of the kexts, change smbios,change Chameleon boot flag, DSDT/SSDT need to be changed/add to match the new hardware.

I looked through the files from your link. Config.plist and DSDT.aml, neither has dualLink set, so not sure why you'll have 4 screens. Perhaps it's from your SSDT or SSDT-1, do you have that?

Do you get QE/CI with this kext?

That's how I have mine setup too!

QE/CI issue, you have to skip this step 14 - Kexts > Graphics > HD4400/4600 DP/HDMI Freeze It only work up to 10.9.3. You need to restore the original version. It should be in your desktop/kexts backup Use kextwizard to install it back to SLE. You'll lose HDMI capability but gain QE/CI. Edit: Guide updated

Did you try the one I attached above? It's for Acer V5-471G Place it in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/ replacing the one you have

Is there anything under Video? For the E6520 and E6530, there's an option to enable/disable Optimus under Video. If not, I guess you'll need to disable nvidia with DSDT edits. I don't use Clover, but can you disable nvidia, and use IntelAzulFB=12 (HD 4400) in config.plist?

Your graphics is not loading. Do you have optimus enabled or disabled?

Download chameleon v2399 pkg and install it to OS X partition, that should fix it.

If you want to keep it the way it is now, I think the only way to boot to OS X is to select F12 during boot and select Disk 1. Windows should be the default and won't see the OS X partition. Install Chameleon to Disk 1 to rid of the 'Invalid partition table' error.

If you like to use HDMI to connect to external monitor, stick with 10.9.3 and use AppleIntelAzulFB from 10.9.1. I explained it in the update under the guide.

1. I guess I should rephrase it in the guide. What I meant was to complete the install, setting keyboard language, setting up username ...etc 2. Yes, I'm not able to get brightness working fully. Probably need to repatch DSDT with the right bar0/bar1 address (WIP) 3. iMessage - make sure you have FileNVRAM.dylib in /Extra/modules. Generate a unique smbios serial...see my signature below under iMessage with a fix. I read that you might have to enter a credit card number or call Apple as well 4. Keyboard layout - choose what works for you. There's an article here call remapping keyboard, search for it in the forum 5. Before upgrading your OS X, make sure you have the correct version of the kernel you're upgrading to. The haswell processor requires a patched kernel to fix the automatic reboot issue. More details here. I included the patched kernel so you don't have to patch it yourself, make sure to place it in /Extra before you upgrade, otherwise your system won't be able to boot and goes in rebooting loop. The default location of the vanilla kernel is on the root, you could patch that yourself you like or copy the patched kernel there but you'll have to change org.chameleon.boot.plist to point it there.

Try repairing system cache sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel For Alan Touchpad, see here.

You need to rename the kernel to mach_kernel or change it in o.c.b.p to read deekay_kernel. Try booting with deekay_kernel -v

Looks like you have Mavericks on disk 1 and Windows on disk 0. What you can do is reverse the drive so that OS X is on disk 0. Install Chameleon to disk 0 where OS X resides to rid of the "invalid partition table." I don't remember you mentioning a kernel panic though, but post your result after this switch. If installing Chameleon from my hack does not resolve the "invalid partition table" error, then download chameleon v2395 pkg and install it to drive 0.

Just download and overwrite the vanilla one on the root of the USB. It's included in Herve's guide linked above. You just have to read through it.

Run myHack/myfix(quick) to fix the caching issue and you can eliminate the -f flag. With Chameleon Wizard, download the latest chameleon; Install Method, select Boot0md. In o.c.b.p, change to Instant Menu so you can pick which OS to boot from. In SmBios tab, generate a new serial so it'll be unique if you're using my boot pack. Have fun.

You just need to generate an SSDT for your i5-4310u. You can use the DSDT from my boot pack. Click on E7440 link on my signature below.

There's no patched kernel for Yosemite for Chameleon yet, but Clover has it if you want to go that route.

Try this one. Might need HDAEnabler in boot.plist.
