  1. First off, thanks for providing this amazing resource ladies and gentlemen. It's much appreciated! I'm a long time Linux user and am taking my first step into installing OS X onto older hardware. I've run into some difficulty and am hoping for some pointers. I have a Dell E6420, A21 BIOS, i5-2540M CPU, 4GB RAM, Intel HD3000 graphics, 1600x900 Resolution, 250GB SSD. I followed the wonderful instructions in the following post using the E6220 boot pack: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-el-capitan-clover-guide/ However, I get stuck at one of two places: 1) With the stock + E6220 boot pack I get a kernel panic with message "pmLock: waited too long". 2) If I add NullCPUPM kext then I get a black screen that slowly turns all white. I did try to add DualLink into the Clover config. I've been trying different things from the forums, but with less success. I still have yet to see an installer screen. I do appreciate whatever time you can spare to help me get up to speed. I apologize If I'm missing something obvious, but this is all pretty new to me.
  2. First of all here are my system specs: Dell Latitude e6420 Intel Core i7 2720QM 16 GB RAM NVS 4200m I had mavericks installed with everything working using chameleon, the dsdt from here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/342-latitude-e6420-nvs-4200-dsdtaml/ kexts from here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6192-guide-mavericks-on-dell-latitude-e6420/ and an ssdt from here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5943-dell-latitude-e6520-e6420-with-optimus-enabled-mavericks/ I had to switch to clover to do the upgrade, and it installed fine. The issue is that now it kernel panics when I try to boot it. Here is a picture I managed to grab before it turned off: Does anyone know what is wrong?
  3. hi! i installed Yosemite 10.10.1 with this Jake Lo's method . after installing the kexts and using this DSTD (E6420/E6520 Optimus Disabled = DSDT-NVS.aml ; uncheck Optimus in BIOS) screen goes black. i can only get picture with nv_disable=1. Optimus is disabled. I need help. Intel Core i5 2520M (integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000) 8 Gb RAM NVIDIA NVS 4200M HiRes 1600x900 LCD WIFI - Qualcomm Atheros AR3011 (not working yet, using WIFI stick) bios A22
  4. New to this website but pretty much here for the same reasons as everyone else. I want to turn my Dell Latitude E6420 into a Hackintosh but I am having issue installing OS X Yosemite from a bootable USB. I get stuck on a white screen and when I try to access the BIOS menu to unlock and enable legacy boot I am asked for an Administrative Password. Did anyone with a E6420 have this same issue as well? If so what did you have to do?
  5. This is for the model E6420 with the Intel 3000 Graphics Card, could someone who uses the Nvidia version please post their findings on it. Thank you all. Although this guide is made for the i3-quad core, 8GB RAM, v3 ALPS, it has been extended to other types, just read through the thread.

I will let you decide here... you can either have SD card functionality or Deep Sleep (normal sleep works either way), due to a conflict with the VoodooSDHC.kext in the attached extra folder, to get SD card reader working, just copy attached VoodooSDHC.kext to /Extra/Extensions and run myFix (quick) Congrats!

  7. Hey All, Its been a while since I've been here, but I got OS X Yosemite Final/GM 3/ PB 4 running on the E6420 via the following means. Credits: @Jake Lo - DSDT patches for HDMI audio, Most of the boot pack actually. XD @Pokenguyen - teaching me clover, giving me a WIP guide that this guide is partially based on, A lot of help along the way, config.plist and many other things, the reason clover is working on the e6420 (: @Stork - Starting the research thread and figuring out the original stuff back on Lion (: @RehabMan @BpedMan @sontrg @Yeahoon and myself - Work on the VoodooPS2 Project for ALPS, its come a long way and is still in development here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2545-new-touchpad-driver-for-e6520-alps/ @All - Debuging and helping out, without all of us, we wouldn’t be this far Myself - Patching a new version of SNBGraphicsFB for VGA/HDMI using telnax's method, writing the guide, patching the new RTC, editing VoodooHDA. None of the Wifi cards that shipped with our model are OS X compatible. Please order the one listed in my signature and replace using the guide created by Dell here. Other cards work, such as the one listed in Jake Lo's signature (He is all over the site, just look around). To Make Bootable Media (Pulled from here and here) 1. Download Install OS X Yosemite.app (Any version will do, i.e. DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4, DP5, DP6, DP7​ (preferred), etc.) 2. Right click on the installer > show package contents 3. Navigate to Contents/Shared Support and double click on the InstallESD.dmg, the .dmg should now mount and appear on your desktop 5. In the terminal issue the following command: open "/Volumes/OS X Install ESD/BaseSystem.dmg" 6. Now, open disk utility and restore your usb drive, NOT the drive, but the volume contained on the drive with the mounted "BaseSystem" NOT the .dmg. 7. Rename your usb drive to Yosemite. (not the dmg) You can tell which drive is the USB from the size. 8. Issue the following commands in terminal: cp "/Volumes/OS X Install ESD/BaseSystem.dmg" /Volumes/Yosemite/ cp -a "/Volumes/OS X Install ESD/BaseSystem.chunklist" /Volumes/Yosemite/ rm /Volumes/Yosemite/System/Installation/Packages cp -a /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages /Volumes/Yosemite/System/Installation/Packages 9. The last command may take some time, go get some food 10. Now install Clover to your USB drive. (download it from here) Selecting the options shown in the linked image: http://imgur.com/if2O3hQ 11. Unzip the flies provided in E6420Yosemite.zip 12. Move all the files in the unzipped /Clover folder to /EFI/EFI/Clover/, make sure to choose to MERGE these folders. Installing 1. Shut Down 2. Enter BIOS via tapping F2 during boot 3. Change SATA Operation to AHCI (Leave the Booting mode on Legacy! UEFI is not support/does not work.) 4. Click Save and reboot 5. Hit F12 as computer boots, select USB Drive 6. Select boot "Mac OS X from Yosemite" 7. If given a keyboard error, spam the spacebar 8. Use disk utility in the "Utilities" drop down menu to format your HDD to "Mac OS Extended Journaled" and make sure to click options and select GUID partition table, proceed with formatting 9. Follow installers prompts to install Post Install If running anything other than Yosemite Final/GM 3/PB 4 (You can update via the Mac App Store or via the delta installers found here. After installing these click restart, you will most likely end up having to hard reset (hold power button), then boot from USB, but this time select "Boot OS X from "Your Drive Name". 10.10.1 is SAFE to update. No changes at all for this release, just Mac App Store Update. 10.10.2 (14C68m) Beta is also safe, and graphical glitches actually went away for me after this update, wouldn't recommend the Beta to the Public of course though. For UEFI Mode: Although it works, it is somewhat buggy, because Dell left UEFI on our model Half-working. I really don't recommend this though. If you really want to use it, go ahead and select UEFI checkbook in the Clover installer and add the boot entry to your UEFI BIOS Selection "/EFI/CLOVER/CLOVERX64.efi" and boot it. For Legacy Mode: 1. Download and run the Clover installer once again from here, select the following things show in this image in the installer: http://imgur.com/ipc5mTq PLEASE also check the "Install Clover Preference Pane" checkbox 2. Download and install Clover Configurator from here 3. Open Clover Configurator (From now on referred to as "CC") and go to the EFI tab, click mount and enter your password. 4. Re-download the attached E6420Yosemite.zip and extract 5. Move the folder /Clover from the unzipped to your hard drives /EFI/EFI/Clover/ location, make sure to choose to MERGE these folders 6. Reboot 7. For Multitouch Gestures go to System Preferences ==> Keyboard ==> Shortcuts ==> Mission Control ==> Now chose the action you want (i.e. show dashboard) and click in the shortcut box, and do the gesture you want (it will show some weird keys, ignore it). 8. For Proper Keyboard, go to System Preferences ==> Keyboard ==> Modifier Keys ==> change Command Key to Option Key, and Option key to Command Key. 9. Run the script "Remove Problematic Extensions.sh" script (it will create a nice shortcut to /System/Library/Extensions/ called /s/l/e, it will also remove problematic kexts. To run this, extract the file, then right click the extracted file and choose "Open With" change from "Recommended Applications" to "All Applications" and select terminal, then enter your password. 10. Reboot Working Wifi (Athertos AR9281, recognized as native Airport Extreme oob, if you want one, the ebay auction is linked in my signature) Keyboard USB Bluetooth App Store and iMessage Screen Brightness Battery Percentage - Broken from DP5 onward. Display and Screen Resolution Audio buttons and audio control HDMI + Audio (Auto Detection works!) QE/CI Network Switch Docking Port eSata Free Fall Data Smart Card Reader Express Card Reader Most Multitouch Gestures (3 and 4 fingers work) Webcam VGA output (No Auto-detection) Find my Mac and iCloud Edit 1: Sleep and Deep Sleep!!! Edit 2: Use updated VoodooHDA for Volume Control! Edit 3: Hibernate! Use new DSDT/SSDT, Just invoke it via one of the thousands of scripts out there that hibernate your mac. Edit 4: UEFI Mode! Works via adding boot entry manually, and only works after most recent Clover Update. Partially Working SD Card - Voodoo SDHC is buggy, only works sometimes on our model and breaks sleep, still want it? Find it in the folder labeled VoodooSDHC and install via kext wizard, then reboot. Battery Percentage - No known kext works. System still reports battery to the low battery (>10%) to the blinking yellow light on the laptop. We will have to wait for AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext to be updated. Just keep trying it at every new release. The DSDT is patched for it when the kext works with 10.10. Not Working Nothing!!!

  9. Hey guys I recently got received a Dell Latitude E6420 for a new laptop as an upgrade from the MacBook Pro Mid 2009 model, and decided to install hackintosh it. My specifications are as follows: BIOS Version A19 Intel Core i7-2640M 2.8GHz 8GB DDR3 1333MHz 2 DIMMs 512MB NVIDIA NVS 4200M 14.0†HD+ (1600x900) Anti-Glare LED/Intel HD3000 Seagate 500GB Dell Wireless Bluetooth 375 Intel 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 Integrated HD video webcam IDT Audio HDMI SD Card Reader Using a bootpack from the last page of the E6420 research thread and a few modifications, I have been able to get the following working on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4: Audio (Using a patched AppleHDA) Keyboard brightness Trackpad/Keyboard Ethernet DVD Drive USB and eSATA HDMI Output (No Audio) Bluetooth (Cannot turn off?) Shutdown and Restart Things not working: HDMI Audio out Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (Its a given, need to be replaced) Turning off Bluetooth as it is always on SD Card Reader VGA (Macs don't have a VGA port, so I'm not worried) Screen Brightness Webcam Sleep I've been trying to disable the NVIDIA GPU as it uses a lot of power, but everything I have done so far has failed. I know that with the HD3000 you can get sleep working, VGA and HDMI working. So any help disabling the NVIDIA NVS 4200M will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advanced Hamish
