Hey all! I want to use Myhack but I cant get the installer to boot with Myhack. I cant even give you an lspci output, even after installing the program and restarting... so I'll say it again.. I want to install it with Myhack! please help me on the how... I'm working on reviving my HP Probook 4720s into a hackintosh... though its not on the list of the guides for probook installs I believe it is very similar and will work.. plus there is a picture of my exact computer running OSX that pic is from this guide on getting arrandale processors to work with Intel HD graphics but I plan to use the Radeon graphics built in... Here is one the guides I'm going off of... [GUIDE] 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics QE/CI According to a guide I found, I created a usb installer on a Master Boot Record Partition... not sure why but thats what it called for....I believe myhack was GUI? I could be wrong but perhaps this could be a reason why the Myhack installer will not boot... In addition to creating the installer I placed a mini ssdt in the extra folder to accommodate my 1600x900 resolution display as it instructs to do in the guide... It worked enough to get OSX installed, then stuff starts to suck such as not being able to run lspci -nn command right out of the gate as you can with the sexy myhack install... So i tried to install with myhack and it hangs up and never makes it through.. then i tried to add the mini ssdt to the extra folder in my myhack installer usb and still no luck installing... Do you guys have any idea how I would go about creating a myhack installer that would work on this machine? I would imagine Myhack can work on this My specs as far as I can tell you are... Hp probook 4720s 8gb RAM i7 processor ATI Radeon Graphics, (not sure exactly what card it is yet cause I cant pull up the info...lol) I'll give further specs once I can get a proper lspci output. Thanks everyone!!

How would you go about creating that? ... looks like somehow my attempts at compiling the DSDT screwed something up and the machine wont boot OSX anymore... I'm going to format and reinstall OSX and give this a fresh approach Thanks for you help guys! any advice for me as I do my fresh install with myhack?

Thank you for your response... I finally have some time to go at this again now... Now it wont let me compile the DSDT because its getting errors and warnings! This is my first attempt at editing a DSDT, I'm working hard trying to get 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:3a3e] working to play audio via this guide and so far I'm not having success. I added the HDEF code and when I try to compile it, it freaks out at me and wont save. I've tried using both DSDTSE and MaciASL and both will not save it... any help? also the guide says "edit DSDT pointing to 12 (hex 0C) layout ID" what on earth does that mean? I'm really trying to wrap my head about what all this DSDT code means and what all these hex numbers and stuff mean.. This is quite a puzzle, butI will figure it out! This is my errors I'm receiving... Thanks!

So I'm trying to learn DSDT editing, when I extract my DSDT using DSDTSE I get warnings. what does this mean and what should I do?

I went ahead and tried to install myhack and the screen just goes black before it can even load to the first screen of the install... I just get a grey screen with the apple logo then poof, black screen and I have to restart it and try again... So the BIOS options are super limited on this Vaio, there is no way to ensure the following are in proper order. Ensure you have your SATA controllers in AHCI mode. Ensure you have enabled your CPU’s C states. Ensure you have HPET set to 64bit. Disable any devices you do not intend to use (extra SATA, Firewire, etc). If you have a UEFI system, ensure that you boot in legacy (bios boot) mode. Thats taken straight from this Myhack guide http://myhack.sojugarden.com/guide/ So my question is are there custom bios for such models to make this happen? can I hack this bios to make it work? if so where do i start? Thanks!

Hey everybody, I just acquired my dad's old Sony Vaio VPCCW17FX, he purchased it new in 2009. I'm about to install myhack 3.3.1 made with 10.9.1 Mavericks from the app store....but before I make the plunge and install OSX I am looking to get some feedback on this systems specs. I see that the Atheros 9285 wireless adapter is in there... that should work from what I've read. but I think most of this hardware will work but I'm still newberific so if you see any discrepancies please let me know. What I'm really trying to do is get an idea of what work exactly will be involved and any issues I may run into once installed. I can run a summary report if that helps, but it was a pretty long text file so for now see the screenshot Your thoughts and feedback are greatly appreciated. Thanks! ~Matt
