You could use the bootpack and guide here for E6430. It's for an i5-3320M. If you have different CPU, just leave out the SSDT's. Once build and rebooted successfully, you can go ahead and upgrade to 10.8.5 without issue. You might get an Install Failed error, but you could check that it did install. If you want to try Mavericks, I just created a new guide here. Tested on both E6430 and E6230.

E6x30 with Intel HD 4000 Credits: Special thanks to myHack (conti) EMlyDinEsH for the patched DSDT and AppleHDA Zenith432 for GenericUSBXHCI - USB 3.0 qwerty12 for DisableIntelTurboBoost for Power Management And everyone who contributed to get Intel HD 4000 QE/CI Specs: BIOS A11 | i5-3320M 2.6GH vPro| 8GB DDR3 | Intel HD 4000, 1366x768 | Rebranded Dell DW1510 | Mavericks GM What's working: Full QE/CI Keyboard and mouse (no multitouch) - For multitouch, follow this. Audio - thanks to EMlyDinEsH for the patch HDMI - Video and Audio Sleep - thanks to EMlyDinEsH for the DSDT/SSDT files Wifi - replaced Intel Card with DW1510 (rebranded) LAN (AppleIntelE1000) USB 3.0 (GenericUSBXHCI) Webcam (OOB) 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 After creating your USB installer, run myHack again Select Install Extra and point to the Extra folder attached (extract it first) Extra.zip Boot up system with USB installer disk with the -v switch (use USB 2.0 port on the left, USB 3.0 ports don't always work) Format the HDD per instruction from myHack Select "Use my Own" when prompt and point to the Extra folder in the root of the USB installer drive When prompt to remove problematic kexts, select Yes, Yes, No If you get an Install Failed error towards the end, that's fine, restart the computer. Remove the USB installer drive Complete the customization ( if you get Invalid Partition Table during boot - just hit enter - find fix under Fixes below) That's it, there's no #9 Important: If you have higher resolution (1600x900), replace AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext in the bootpack otherwise you'll get a blank screen after boot. AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext.zip Replace SSDT in Extra if you have an i5-3340M SSDT-i5-3340M.zip BIOS UPDATE E6430: Don't update BIOS to version A13, causes screen artifacts! E6230: Don't update BIOS to version A12, causes screen artifacts! Fixes: If you encounter "Invalid Partition Table" after the first reboot, just hit the Enter key to continue. To completely remove that error, launch myHack and select Install Chameleon If you encounter error above when playing DVD Player, replace DVDPlayback.framework.zip 2.86MB 13 downloads in System/Library/Frameworks. Don't forget to backup yours first. JL

I edited the post to put the attachment next to step 2, you should see it there now. Looking at your specs, I believe you have an E6430/E6530 with Nvidia Discrete Graphics (aka Optimus). You need to go to the BIOS, under Video and disable Optimus in order to successfully build this system.

Try this one.

The account you create on the first boot after installation is an Admin account.

"Ivy Bridge" 2.6 GHz Intel "Core i7" processor (3720QM), with four independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 6 MB shared level 3 cache If you launch Activity Monitor, under CPU tab, below you'll see 'CPU LOAD'. Double click it, you'll see all 8 cpu.

Hope you have a little time to read through this, it's quite detailed. A lot of work by a lot of talented people brought this together and now it supports Mavericks too.

Intel Centrino Wireless is not supportedl, you'll need to replace with a supported card found here. Your E6410 does't have an NVidia card, it has the 1st generation Intel HD graphics card. At most you could get Core Image, but not Quartz Extreme.

No familiar with this card, can you list the ven/dev with lspci -nn Does your audio device shows up in the the BIOS as 92HD93? If so, the AppleHDA should work.

Can you list the specs of the machines to determine what GPU they have?

Check E/E and see if ApplePS2Controller is there. If it is, try running myHack/myfix (full). Then reboot. For the E6230 model, you could try using my Extra files here or link on my signature under E6430. Although you have a Broadcom Wireless card, that model is not supported. Personally I have DW1510 which works OTB.

From terminal, enter lspci -nn and display result here. Most likely it's an Intel Centrino and it's not supported. Replace it with an Atheros or Broadcom. Hmm, are you sure you have an E6220 not an E6230? I though USB 3.0 only appears on Exx30 models. My E6220 has (2) USB 2.0, (1) HDMI, and (1) eSata port. Anyway, try solution here.

Launch Chameleon Wizard, under org.chameleon.boot tab, on the bottom right is Graphics Mode. Check it and change the resolution with the drop down.

Replace GenericUSBXHCI with the latest version here to Extra/Extension. Run myfix (full) Add -gux_defer_usb2 to boot.plist

Attach your boot.plist so we could see what's causing the issue.

Try my Extra folder here. Will fix a lot of your issues.

Try holding the FN+ UP Arrow or FN+Pause, will the backlight lit up? If you let it sit for 2-3 minutes, does it goes to sleep or shutdown? If the former, add -f to your boot.plist.

Files are in this post. If it hangs on Bluetooth, it means your graphics is not loading. Try replacing your Extra with his and retry.

You're probably installing from USB3 port and not USB2 port. And yes, you need that switch if you're using Zenith432's GenericUSBXHCI kext.

Try gohmac's applescript here. It sets the value at startup. Post #128 above and #129 with instruction how to do it.

Sounds like myHack didn't fully complete before rebooting. Boot with your USB Installer with -v npci=0x2000 GraphicsEnabler=No On the OSX Installer screen, select Utilities, then myHack. Install Chameleon and then run myfix(full).

Yes, it installs these files to SLE and I think HWMonitor to Apps. ACPISensors CPUSensors GPUSensors LPCSensors FakeSMC

You shouldn't have both in EE. If you have VoodooHDA, you'll need AppleHDADisabler as well and remove AppleHDA. If AppleHDA is patched for your sound card, then remove VoodooHDA and AppleHDADisabler and then rerun myHack/myfix/full.

You probably need to roll back airportd if you have dw1397 or dw1395 and perhaps dw1490 as well.

I'm running both ML10.8.5 and Mavericks GM. Battery indicator works everytime if you have the -f switch during boot. I'm using AppleSmartBatteryManager.
