Ehm sorry but Atheros 9485 KEXT doesn't exist.

If it did exist, I would've worked much harder on hackintosh because It would be worth it.

 

But without it, you got no wifi/bt(barely works). And I hate using wifi dongle or changing original parts to make it work.

 

I recommend checking this link, it seems they got it working on your laptop

Hmm good to know but I've uninstalled OS X. I just didn't find it pratical/usable for me.
Windows got everything that I need ;p

thanks for the quick reaply , as i checked in disk utillity my hard drive is format in GUID

Hmm I thought maybe the partition H: isn't big enough but it's 43.9 Gb so you can try the following:

 

- Delete the partition and make with free space an new partition Mac Os X (Journaled)

This link show with images how to do it, it's safe --> http://pondini.org/OSX/DU4.html

 

- Boot to Windows/Linux or another OS and make a free space (unallocated space) so you can try to make partition Mac Os X (Journaled) on OS X

 

Oh and forgetted to add you can also try Verify Disk Permissions etc.

Hello everyone!

recently i sold my macbook pro and bought asus n550.

i'm new in this Hackintosh world and i read the whole topic, follow everything very carefully... and after few days i manage to get only to the installation screen..

 

any way, my problem now is that im stuck in the disk utillity stage, i'v tried to format one paratition of my hard drive into mac journaled so i will be able to install mavericks os x but i get error messege "volume erase failed with the error: mediakit reports not enough space on device for requested operation". 

i'v tried every thing, google it, search in the forum, tried to format by "gparted", but it format only to hfs/hfs+, not journaled, so its not working for installing osx on that paratition.

i have 750GB (7200) hard drive with 3 paratitions: C:(the windows paratition 279GB-NTFS), D:(for data-NTFS, 354GB), H:the paratition i want to install mavericks on - 43.9GB

 

I will be grateful for your help =] 

 

Hey,

I thought Asus n550jv comes with 1TB 5400 RPM HD. So I think the problem is that your HD isn't fully formated in GUID but instead in MBR which makes it impossible to use journaled.

 

Mine HD came in GUID so I could install without problems with journaled partition.

Little update:

 

I successfully fixed audio :

 

1. Installing VoodooHDA.prefPane

2. Installing the kext using kext wizard

3. Rebooting the PC

 

But I don't know how to fix battery,brightness,etc..

 

EDIT:

 

Also fixed battery indicator using Voodoo Battery

 

What's about brightness and cpu clock? I saw that the clock is set to 3.2ghz with 70°C temp!!

 

 

Hey it's been long time I checked this forum.

For brightness I use this: https://itunes.apple.com/be/app/brightness-slider/id456624497?mt=12

 

For cpu clock: I havent't succeeded in getting full working native powermanagement. But what I find strange is 70 °C on 3.2 Ghz   I was getting more like 50-60 °C.

Anyway, I just used an patched AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext but the problem is that the clock speed stays at 0.8Ghz. Still the pc is fast enough, not lagging, battery friendly, BUT unfortunately it can't get higher clock speed.

Sorry my guide was not complete, (still isn't but updated now)

++++++++++++++++ RENAME mach_kernel to mac_kernel in your boot of MAC OS partition (installed on hard disk) --> mv mach_kernel mac_kernel

OR +++++

++++++++++++++++ Goto your folder of EFI bootloader(EFI-> CLOVER -> Config.plist) and change mac_kernel to mach_kernel

Good to know, I am now trying to make a bootable usb for installing it.

So I will update (system dump, etc) when I make some progress, probably in 1-2 days (because it's all new for me). 

Hello everyone, this is my first time on this forum and it's pretty interesting how thinghs work around.

To tell the truth I've never tried/experienced Hackintosh, so sorry for being noob.

 

This is my Laptop specs, it seems that the cpu and gpu are pretty close/same with the new Macbook Pro 2013
2.0 GHz (i7-4750HQ) quad-core Intel Core i7 Crystalwell with 6 MB on-chip L3 cache(15") + 

Nvidia GeForce GT 750M with 2 GB GDDR5 memory. (15", 2.3GHz)

 

Model: Asus n550JV - 15.6 inch Full HD (1920*1080)

Ram: 8 GB LDDR3 - 1600 Mhz (Kingston)

Cpu: Intel I7-4700HQ Haswell

Gpu: Nvidia Geforce GT 750m (4GB)

HD: 1 TB (5200 rpm) (yeah I know, slow like hell)

More detailed info see in attachment.

 

Update1:

I made a bootable usb with myHack 3.3 + changed kernel with custom one 

10.9 Ivy Bridge-E & Lapic Fix Kernel

(http://www.osx86.net/files/file/3606-109-ivy-bridge-e-lapic-fix-kernel/)

 

I have succeeded to boot in USB but unfortunately I got stuck at Pthread support aborts when sync kernel primitives misused 

 

Update2:

Made a new Bootable Usb using Clover together with the custom kernel + moded efi files. Installation started and succeeded.

BUT everytime I try to boot OS X, I keep rebooting after something like  "uuid loading ....................................................................++++++++++++++"

 

So could someone please help me? Is it because my Smbios is wrong? And if it is, what should I do to get a good working one?

 

UPDATE 3:

Succesfully booted in Mac Os X 10.9 ;D

- Wifi & bluetooth doesn't work. (bluetooth works rarely (20 % chance it works))

- Sound also doesn't work but it's fixable by moding with kexts etc. ( haven't connected with internet so is it possible that it will after connection 1* time?) (fixed sound)

- About, finder, configuration, wallpaper, live wallpaper, mounting all works perfectly.

- It's performing truth to be told butter smooth, and I booted with all cores (4). But it's working whole time on max speed (2.4 ghz) so that needs to be fixed or at least limited to +- 2 ghz so it would use less power & make less heat.

- Battery stats could not be seen (0% whole time) (fixed with patched kext)

- sleep doesn't work.

- shutdown, restart works

- Tried iMessage and App store, worked fine without internet (lol).

 

That's it, can't think or find another thingh to mention.

 

GUIDE for OS X 10.9 on Asus n550JV

(note this may not be detailed/complete enough to succeed):

- First make a usb stick with restore from OS X Mavericks (search google, it's almost same everywhere )

 

- Then make a clover bootable stick using Clover v2: https://mega.co.nz/#!csACCYwI!Cx-GC02... guide:

 

- Follow everything in that youtube vid exactly, because it could turnout differently if you don't

 

- Use these modded EFI files and overwrite/merge with EFI partition of usb (credit goes to my russian friend amocc

 for his amazing work):

- Reboot system with usb plugged, check if USB LEGACY is on.

And get in bios/efi or whatever and change boot priority

for example UEFI: CLOVER boot should be the first one to boot.

 

- Clover bootloader will show up, go to Mac Os installer (or what it is called) and press space than go to without caches and press enter.

- Installer will show up, make a Mac Os Extended Journaled partition by going to Utilities than Disk Utility.

- Instal, REBOOT back to Installer (trust me).

 

IMPORTANT: Launch Terminal and give these command (change YOUR_Partition!):

cp /mach_kernel "/Volumes/YOUR_Partition/mach_kernel"

 

++++++++++++++++ THEN RENAME mach_kernel to mac_kernel  --> mv mach_kernel mac_kernel

++++++++++++++++OR goto your folder of EFI bootloader(EFI-> CLOVER -> Config.plist) and change

mac_kernel to mach_kernel

 

- Reboot into OS X (not installer) using without caches.

 

- After configuring your system with username, password you'll appear on desktop.

 

- Now you'll need to use different kexts to fix several issues:

For audio go to this link: 

http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=355

Use the latest one, I used VoodooHDA_v284.zip

Than you should edit info.plist in VoodooHDA.kekst
