Hi, Haven't been here for a while. I am wondering if anyone actually swapped CLOVER for OpenCore on a Dell Inspiron 3537? If yes would anyone share their setup?

hello rufabf, regarding your guide, can you send your dsdt

Hi, I'm trying to install OSX Mavericks into my Thinkpad T430s. I've seen T430 (without final 's') is in your compatibility list, and the two computer are basicaly the same. I've prepared a USB stick with myHack and I select the T430 boot pack download from OSXLatitude, all looks ok through Chamaleon, but when I get the installation "select language" window the screen changes into something weird. I've attached a photo. My laptop has an Intel HD4000 vga, and any other VGA (not dedicated vga). The resolution of my integrated LCD is 1600x1900. However, if I use the T440 boot pack (later model but with the same VGA) I get to the installation "select language" window with perfect resolution, but it gives me an error and can't continue Could I use the graphic driver of T440 boot pack into T430 boot pack?? Thanks PD: After prepare a USB stick and install on it my own Extra with myHack, Can I then install a new custom Extra with myHack without start the process from the begining (without copy again the full OSX with myHack)?

First of all I want to say thank you for the management. It's unexpected that I can install OS X on my old laptop. Ok.. the problem is after I do an update from 10.9.4 to 10.9.5, and then it stuck at "Missing bluetooth controller". But it can be boot with "bootflag -f". or, set kernel.plist file " KernelBooter_kexts = Yes " also works well... This totally make me confused .. I've been replaced the mach_kernel of 10.9.5. PLS help..Thanks..

Hello Team. Long Time No Talk with you Guys Please find attach the Extra Folder I put together for OS X 10.9 Setup on Dell Precision M4600. Extra.zip Just Prepare the USB with My Hack. then Run My Hack again and Setup the Attached Extra Folder on the OSx Mavericks Installation USB. Use again the Extra Folder Finishing the OS x Mavericks installation on your M4600. Good luck

I am pretty sure that I followed the instructions correctly for creating the install drive. Regular boot as well as -v -x gives me the error message after I click the arrow under "Use english as the language". It says "The OS X installation couldn't be completed". The Save Log option doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks in advance for the help.

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.

Hi, Last year I installed Yosemite on my E6230. It was fun to do, but it took a lot of time to get everything working. Is there a way to upgrade my current installation to Mavericks or even El Capitain? If so, is there a way to do that without starting from scratch?

First, Hello to everyone on this forums, it's great site! I have a Dell Latitude E5520 with following config: - Intel Core i5-2520M, 2,5 GHz CPU (replaced from E5420, originally was i3); - Intel Cougar Point HM65, Intel Sandy Bridge chipset; - 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM; - Intel HD 3000 1366x768 graphics. I'm trying to install OS X Mavericks from .app file. I've downloaded 10.9 Bootpack from OSXLatitude's EDP and tried to create bootable USB with MyHack, following manual here. Don't know if that does matter, but when I'm creating installer, when I reach step 10, MyHack doesn't ask me about Extra folder - I have to do this myself after "All processes completed". So, after that, with Extra from 10.9 Bootpack, my installer stops on striped screen, like in this thread. No matter, if I try with -GraphicsEnabler, -PciRoot, Verbose mode, Safe mode. It's always the same. When I tried to run installer with General Extra from MyHack, it reaches installer, but after a while it crashes with Apple Installer Crash Log. I've tried to install with Extra from here, here and here, always with no luck. Maybe the CPU and graphics inside it are wrong, cause of replacement? Any help and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time!

First post, please forgive me for any errors of omission. I currently have a Inspiron 1420/Vostro 1400 with Nvidia graphics running Mavericks 10.9.4. It's totally stable with no kernel panics, but there's one hitch: I don't get any sound from my onboard speakers. If I plug in my headphones, I hear everything loud and clear. I'm reluctant to tinker when everything is so stable, but I also don't want to stop when I'm 99% of the way there. Here's the steps/specifics of my install: I created a bootable USB using the most recent version of myHack, a copy of the 10.9.4 installation app, and the D630 Nvidia Bootpack. The installation went smoothly, but slowly. Since I had some time on my hands, I came back here and stumbled across Axel-Erfurt's amazing thread for D630's with Nvidia graphics. I didn't want to stop an installation that seemed to be proceeding smoothly, so I copied the Extra folder from his D630 Installer and his D630InstallerPost.zip to a second USB Drive. After the installation was completed and I was at the desktop, I plugged in the second USB and ran myHack -> install extra, and used the Extra File copied from the D630 Installer. Ran the D630InstallerPost.zip & restarted. Post restart, I found that I had everything except for sound. So, I downloaded and installed the VoodooHDA_V286_MAV.pkg from sourceforge. It's currently in S/L/E. That got me sound through the headphone jack, but still nothing from speakers. I've thought about copying the VoodooHDA.kext from the D630 Installer into S/L/E, but because it's stable I didn't want to tinker without knowing what would happen.

I'm currently trying to fully enable the graphics on my Latitude E5520 with HD3000 Graphics. I cannot seem to find the right Framebuffer Kext to enable QE/CI and it's becoming quite frustrating. I'm new to the whole Hackintosh thing so please excuse my ignorance. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are my system specs: CPU:Intel Core i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz Chipset: Intel HM65 (Sandy Bridge) Memory:4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3l Graphics: Intel HD3000 (FHD 1920x1080) Let me know what other info I might need to provide. Thanks

I have a nicely working Mavericks 10.9.5 on a Lenovo IdeaPad u460. It has the dismal Realtek ALC262 sound, and VoodooHDA 2.8.7 is working nicely (except microphone, which is too sensitive). Would love native patched AppleHDA? There are patched for Snow/Lion, but Mavericks would be nice. Going to try some tests on downloads I managed to find. Any and all help greatly appreciated!!! Cheers.

I recently followed a MyHack tutorial that enabled me to fully boot and run OSX 10.9.5 to my satisfaction, albeit one issue. The problem is I have no Audio over my HDMI connection as my monitor has built in speakers. The strange thing is that i will occasionally get a very brief moment of audio just after boot or when cycling through outputs under the 'System Prefferences > Sound > Output' Section, not just a random sound either, if i open itunes and play a song ill get a moment of audio before it cuts back off. (volume greyed out) Which leads me to believe that audio over HDMI is possible with some changes/Modification. I am using an Nvidia Geforce 8400 gs in my build as the built in graphics in the dell inspiron 530s are incompatible. I am running OSX 10.9.5, and I should note that when i go to 'System Prefferences > Sound > Output' i have the following output options listed: -Digital-out (HDMI) -Digital-out (HDMI) -Digital-out (HDMI) -Digital-out (HDMI) -line-out (Green Rear) -Headphones (Green Front) None of the 'Digital-out' Options listed output sound through my HDMI connection. Any and all help would be appreciated as getting audio to work over HDMI is the one step away from a fully functional build. I will supply any information/pictures as requested about the build. I should also note that this is my first build and that i am, by no means what-so-ever, a professional.

Make a new MacOSX Install "USB-Thumb Drive" ---> You need a OSX Computer or VMware OSX or something with OSX for this Step! ---> You need a "Clean Vanilla OSX Install Drive"!!!! ---> Do not use unifail, or something else! Make it with DiskMakerX or CommandLine! ---> After you successful created your OSX Install Drive, Download Clover! ---> Install Clover to your "OSX Install Drive"! -------> Change Destination --> OSX Install Drive! -------> Customize > Tick only: ----------> "Install for UEFI booting only" / Drivers64UEFI > "EmuvariableUEFI-64" & "OsxAptioFixDrv-64" ----------> Select only this and nothing else! Click Install! ------> Now there should be a new Drive, called "EFI". Open it! ------> Download this Files: ------> NullEthernet, ACPIBatteryManager, FakeSMC, ACPIBacklight, GenericUSB3, ------> EAPDFix, AsusNBFnKeys, ApplePS2ElanTouchpad, AppleHDA, HFSPlus, DSDT.aml ------> Put all that files in a Folder, you need them Later again! ------> Now open again your "EFI" Partition on your "OSX Thumb Drive" ------> Put this files: NullEthernet, ACPIBatteryManager, FakeSMC, ACPIBacklight, GenericUSB3, ------> EAPDFix, AsusNBFnKeys, ApplePS2ElanTouchpad ------> Into: /EFI/CLOVER/kexts (All the files are .kext files) ------> Put DSDT.aml into: /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched ------> Put HFSPlus.efi into: /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI ------> Delete VboxHFS.efi from: /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI ------> Download Config.plist and put it to: /EFI/CLOVER 2.

(OSX doesn't Support intel Raid) ---> Disable "Secure Boot" or Just delete the KEYs! 3. Now Start your OSX Install... Don't need to explain this Step ----> If you get a reboot, and OSX Install doesn't start, you have 2 Solutions: ----> 1. You need to patch the Kernel on the OSX Install Drive (and Later on the installed OSX) ----> 2. You can patch you BIOS with PMpatch! (You can destroy your Laptop!) ----> Solution 1 is Safe, but you need to do this after every OSX Update... ----> Solution 2 is forever, you need to patch this only on BIOS Updates... 4. Now you have Installed OSX! Go & Buy a USB-Wifi Dongle, or use the Lan-Adapter included! ----> Now you need to download Clover again. Install it now on your HDD, click Customize: ----------> "Install for UEFI booting only" / Drivers64UEFI > "EmuvariableUEFI-64" & "OsxAptioFixDrv-64" ----------> "Install RC Scripts for Selected Partition" ----------> Select only this and nothing else!

Hello! My Lenovo Hackintosh has its fan almost always running, overheating sometimes. I have to manually fan it to keep it from overheating, though that doesn't help much. I turn on the A/C, fan the computer, and it still overheats. This also happens when trying to install the Mavericks 1.9.1 update. It tells me "3 minutes remaining" under a progress bar and "Software Update". Then the fan accelerates and the computer shuts down immediately This is not the situation in Linux/Windows/Unix. What can I do to get the fan to run normally/keep this thing from overheating? Thanks!

Hi Guys As many users have successfully installed mavericks on D630 I'm sure I must be doing something wrong. I have D630 with Nvidia graphics running Lion without any issues. I am trying to upgrade to mavericks as follows:- replace disk drive - partition/erase as GUID build installer using myhack - no mbr - 10.9 bootpack installer works perfectly and completes installation reboot progresses to a point and then freezes - picture attached (sorry about the quality) Any help appreciated. arcaman6

i have been trying to get 10.9 onto my e6500 for days now without any luck. every time i end up with it telling me osx couldn't install and asking to view the log. this is before i even get into the installation right after it asks you to choose a language. normally i wouldnt start a new topic but i have looked everywhere and tried everything. i have tried with every option in my bios (A29) off and on and with -x -v pcirootuid=0,1 npci=0x2000,3000, -f, graphicsenabler=yes, and with various combinations of those tags (of course properly capitalized). anyone have any idea what i am doing wrong here? i used the current myhack download to install 10.9 onto USB and add the extra that is suggested on a page on this forum for building e6500's with mavericks. o yea and of course, after creating the usb installer a few days ago my other hackintosh crashed on me (gigabyte board with a Q6600 8gb PC6400, HD6850) and i havent had a chance to rebuild that install yet. so i have some experience with this stuff but this damn thing has me stumped... what bios is everyone else running too? as i said mine is A29. any ideas?? thanks yall e6500 A29 t9700 2.8ghz c2d 4gb nvidia nvs160m @ 1920x1200 currently running win7-64bit and ubuntu 14.04lts-64bit will install on a seperate hd i have tried also formatting my drives with Disk Utility to GUID with an HFS+ partition, and have tried MBR (the myhack install should have installed the mbr patch) but alas still no luck with either...
