I have nothing to suggest. No idea. Anyhow I quit. OS X is not the thing I'm interested in. It's not for me. Good luck everyone.

berkaius Do you have your BIOS patched too (as mypearl_tw)? If yes, try to set KernelPm to false OR flash original unpatched BIOS.

What's the version of your BIOS?

berkaius Try booting without caches but with injected kexts. tobitronics Wifi has to be replaced with supported model. AR9485 will not work ever. KB backlight works fine.

Please try this configuration guys: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2jibwgngj7hax7m/CLOVER_Air2.zip In order to install OS X using these files one may need to copy kexts from "10.9" folder to "Other". Hibernation is disabled (I use SSD), so those who wanna try it must change NeverHibernate in config.plist to false, but we aware: I haven't even tried it, not tested at all. Please keep me informed about any issue related to my configuration. tobitronics In fact system is stable and in good condition now. The only serious issue for me is random instant wake from sleep when using xhci enabled. Another but minor issue is BT's behaviour - it won't turn off with fn+f2. As for 10.10, well, the upgrade will bring a lot of problems for this Hack, I'm sure. But personally I'm good with 10.9, and see no reason to try 10.10. But only just for fun.

OK I see. Will upload revised configs within today.

@berkaius: Could you attach boot log or error screenshot? Anyhow I will upload Clover directory in two or three days - need some time to optimize settings and wipe unnecessary files.

The latest DSDT. In config pls set DropOEMSSDT to true. Make sure no other ssdt is present in "patched" directory with this dsdt - nvidia disabling is included in dsdt itself. XHCI may be enabled in bios - sleep works fine. DSDT.aml.zip

Hi guys I think at the moment it better to use different dsdt which was provided by EMlyDinEsH in this post: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1968-fn-hotkey-driver-for-asus-notebooks/page-11&do=findComment&comment=33702 It's pretty good from my point of view. It lets you disable nvidia card for better battery life if used with additional ssdt. You can find both files attached. Just place them to the directory named "patched". Remember: I use only 2 fixes in Clover dsdt section: NewWay_80000000 and FixRegions_10000000; DropOem=false. Sorry for all this mess. BTW, I'm not the author of various fixes. I just test different configurations and talk to other people in order to find and resolve issues. Regarding newer Clover A good way is to replace config.plist, dsdt in folder named "patched", then install the Clover update (enable EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi too, by the way). Installer will take care of the rest. Archive 2.zip

EMlyDinEsH, I'd like to thank you very much for the dsdt you provided for N550JV on the previous page. Works almost perfectly except several issues but they can be resolved. Thank you.

My current dsdt is attached to the post. Display brightness control is working just right now, just be sure to use Clover's EmuVariableUefi-64.efi driver (better install it with the newest Clover). DSDT5.aml.zip

Oh, lol. I see chameleon-related advices here Nice choice for UEFI motherboard laptop [ironic]. Make sure you have no org.chameleon.Boot.plist and other chameleon-related leftover files as well. Don't search for or edit nvram plist if you haven't touched it yet. 1st of all simply post your Boot section of Clover plist here (using Spoiler tag of course).

That's impossible IMHO. You've removed only "-v" from bootargs and now you've got no option "Boot Mac OS X" in Clover GUI? You might have done something else...

Well, assumed you've read the thread I linked to (next to the link to kexts) you should have no questions regarding dsdt. Anyway, kext which won't work w/o editing dsdt is Asus FN keys kext. You have to edit dsdt if you want to see keyboard lights, screen backlight control and correct Fn-keys processing at all. And that's not that difficult. Instead you can use foreign dsdt provided in my Clover archive if you don't want to mess with ediing your own dsdt, but be ready to face problems 'cause the use of foreign dsdt is not a good choice too (i.g. you can face some issues caused by OperationRegion). However, ATM I'm trying to implement binary dsdt patches with Clover. For now, I have figured out how to fix KBD lights, screen backlight control, and battery. But I have no idea how to fix sleep problem and I'm planning to study this matter. So as soon as I fix sleep I will provide binary patches for Clover and from that time there won't be any reason to use pre-edited dsdt. As for the second question asked here... Yes I have iCloud iMessage etc working. My counterquestion: can you successfully pass the check on Apple site? If not, then your SMBIOS is wrong and you have to use correct serial number. If you can pass but you have issues anyway check if you have Apple ID and credit card binded with your ID. A good option is to boot with Chameleon, write down system UUID and put it to Clover's config. Read Clover's manual!

A bunch of kexts I use ATM, some need dsdt edits as per this thread. Please note that you'd better use your default dsdt with Clover patches and binary patches than use my dsdt (which isn't mine in fact - I have issues too). 'Cause I'm kinda noob in dsdt editing scope I cannot provide you with good examples of disabling NVidia device, keyboard backlight etc dsdt edits but refer to the dsdt included to my Clover config - things that are not good there are nvidia disabling and screen brightness. Everything else (e.g. battery, sound - including but not limited to the sole subwoofer, touchpad, lan etc.) should work fine so with such an example one may implement his own Clover binary patches or tune his own dsdt - that depends on your choice. Oh, and one more thing: AppleHDA provided in the archive is working but only with dsdt edits. Also it's based on 10.9 version so it's not the latest... Anyhow I'm using Voodoo so AppleHDA kext is just for reference only for those who want to dig deeper.
