Donk Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thank you kindly sir.... progress made with some kernel kexts, and more importantly a new vm set for a "bios" instead of efi in esx.... and pointing to one of the osx vmdk. I would like to see if 1.3.1 does better with the efi and bootable iso's. I uploaded all the versions to www.daveparsons.net/downloads, and 1.3.1 is here http://daveparsons.net/downloads/unlock-all-v131.zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sWORDs Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Did anyone have a go with ESXi 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Did anyone have a go with ESXi 6? This unlocker is only for ESXi 5. There is no functioning unlocker for ESXi 6 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sWORDs Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I got that, I basically ment doing what the tool does manually and trying to get that working with 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippie131 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Is it possible to use a Xeon 5080 CPU? I have a dell precision 690 with dual Xeon 5080s running ESXi 5.5 U2 and I installed the 1.3.0 unlocker but I can't seem to get past the apple logo. Tried the CPUID masks I've seen in this forum but one caused a kernal panic and the other caused boot loops. Is my CPU just too old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxcasper Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi I'm running one host with esxi 5.5 with the 1.3 unlocker, and it works really fine. My scratch partition is located on a SSD drive that I need to replace because of SMART errors. Do I need to re-run the unlocker if I change my scratch location to another datastore? What will be the best approach.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scratch partition is located on a SSD drive that I need to replace because of SMART errors. Do I need to re-run the unlocker if I change my scratch location to another datastore? What will be the best approach.? The patcher is embedded in a shell script local.sh which is run at boot from /etc/rc.local.d. This should not be affected by the location of the scratch files, so you should not need to re install the unlocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that 5.5U3 er pretty new, but do any know if it breaks the unlocker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithl Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just in case I don't upgrade to esxi6, I will ask the similar questions here. This is NOT intended as a cross post. Does esxi5.5 with unlocker 1.30 support el Capitan? Do I still need beamoff with el Capitan? Is el Capitan now recommended by good judgement (i.e. fixes more than it breaks)? Thanks Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuXs Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 El capitan dont need beamoff it works perfectly without it as long as you install darwin tools from vmware (drivers etc).I only use mavericks and el capitan becuase they are in my opinion much better the yosemite and i feel it fixes a lot of the lag issues with yosemite.

keithl Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I figured that. Also, I assume el Capitan is just fine with 1.30 and esxi5.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedstevens Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 This unlocker is only for ESXi 5. There is no functioning unlocker for ESXi 6 at the moment. Is there any information on what specifically isn't working in esxi 6.0? If it helps any, I have a few dev machines i am happy to beta test on!

MSoK Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Any one have experience with this CPU? still trying. I've experimented with 10.8 10.9 and 10.11 In theory your CPU(s) meet the minimum requirement to run OS X, however, all the documents I have read regarding Xeon processors and OS X mention 5100's and above, so I am guessing your CPU's are just to old to be supported in OS X, especially as OS X is very fussy about supported CPU's hence the CPUID masks needed. However the CPUID masks in the link below are from Xeon 5500 Series so no good in your case, sorry! Unless someone know better? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290949-how-to-install-os-x-10x-snow-leopard-to-el-capitan-in-vmware-workstation-1011-workstation-proplayer-12-player-67-esxi-56/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLN Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Guys, got a question. Now I'm running clean OS X and I wanna passthorough Videocard. In order to make it work I need to use Clover or something to inject kexts and so on. How do Iinstall cusom bootloader to the system in ESXI? I've already have tested this, and it works for windows (videocard passthrough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphex6b Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 i only tested reefit and that works for me 9 out 10 times sometimes the allocation via boot.efi fails but the second try it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
