So the setup and first boot, we have to uncheck inject intel + -x, then after following whole guide with patched dsdt, we have to repeat your procedure to get past blackscreen?

The Chameleon in HVT is 2377 already, I think you should report to Chameleon dev team, or switch to Clover.

Probably problem with Chameleon bootloader. Use Chameleon wizard to update to latest version.

Hello Pokenguyen. Thanks for you guide, I have sent my thank you via paypal.

Please advice about HDMI port on inspiron 7537, HD4400 4200U.

Is any chance to get it work, or I must buy USB-HDMI displaylink and forget.

 

Thanks!

Thank you, I don't have Dell 7537 now so I can't investigate more. I have same problem with Dell E7440, HP Probook G1 (they use HD4400/4600), and no one bother to figure out what causes this. I hope that some late OS X updates can fix it.

Be careful with USB-HDMI. I'm not sure it will work.

I have a solution for the 1080p Inspiron 7537's dark screen after booting up which works most of the time. You can only install OS X and preform the first setup process with the boot flag GraphicsEnabler=No. After that, when the display turns black while booting up, wait a few seconds and press Ctrl+Shift+power button, you know if you were successful if the backlight goes off. Now do something with the touchpad to turn the screen back again and it should show your desktop. (Please note that it only works if you enabled automatic login to a user account.)

Thank you so much, but GraphicsEnabler=No only works with Chameleon,while my guide uses Clover UEFI. 

Can you help me edit the guide (what step should we do that) with Clover UEFI?

Hi again pokenguyen,

 

I wonder if I could use NVidia GeForce 750M on my 7537 running Mavericks?

 

Thanks

Never, unless you can mod bios and disable Intel HD4400.

something wrong with your dsdt.aml. Add dsdt=no in your bootflag.

Ok I figured it out the issue. The direct link you have to MaciASL produces 15 errors, the MaciASL is in HTV tools produces 2 errors like you mention in your guide and deleting Zero's and applying the patch clean those errors. I suggest to remove the link and direct people to get the compiler from HTV tools.

My mistake, thank you.

Here you are

No need, tell me what you did. I just do step 5 on your origin folder and I got 0 error.

Note that you have to EXACTLY. Miss one step and you will get errors.

You should install Clover UEFI instead of just copy.

Yes

Apple is created by os x, it's useless btw. Microsoft folder contains windows bootloader to boot.

Windows has messed up your EFI partition. Try reinstalling Clover by run HVT > Clover UEFI. Then repeat step 11 forward.

go to terminal and type "diskutil list" post your screenshot here

and try mounting EFI partition by CC, then check what is the format of your EFI partition.

and check what you have in EFI folder.

Can you boot to Clover screen in HDD?

Can you boot to Clover USB?

@oldlight: I suggest Broadcom 43225HMB or 4352HMB

@Maxsowon: It's common problem, a quick Google will solve.

You can patch DSDT in step 5.

The partitions will be displayed in their order, so you just need to know which is 1st, 2nd or 3rd...

remove RTL8100 in /System/Library/Extensions/ and try booting from USB, does ethernet work?

It's definitely RTL8100. Install it again, then rebuild cache and repair permission.

What is your ethernet chipset? Install DPCIManager, go to PCI List tab then find ethernet, take a screenshot here.

Also, I noticed you generate wrong SMBIOS in config.plist. Generate it again with Macbook AIr 6,2

Run HVT and install RTL8111, restart, if not work, install RTL8100, restart.

Again
