asstastic Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 you only need gop support if you run uefi and then discrete graphics has to be GOP. Just install by the old bios way and you should have no problems... CSM off is for UEFI booting... Sort of. You can still do UEFI booting with CSM enabled but Windows 7 does not support GOP and requires CSM when using the UEFI bootloader. @labilomat OSX will boot fine with CSM enabled. Also keep your IGPU enabled in the BIOS even if no display is connected to it. This will prevent some potential lockups of the graphics power management. I use this Ozmosis BIOS to triple boot OSX, Win 7 and Linux: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288829-guide-gigabyte-z77x-ud5h-clover-uefi-installtweak-guide/page-9?do=findComment&comment=1942888 I use VoodooHDA as the only modified kext since it is a no-brainer to get working. Can you elaborate further on a few points? What install.dmg did you use(OS version)? What method did you use to restore it to the SSD? Mavericks and Mountain Lion have different methods for creating install media, if you do not follow the right instructions, your SSD will not boot.

CoBrA2168 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 asstastic, do you know if it's safe to update Clover to the latest version? The last time I flashed it was back in November (I can't remember the revision right now) and I'm a bit worried that updating will cause unwanted side affects. Also, I suggest trying both with IGPU enabled or disabled in BIOS. I actually saw lock-ups and weird problems with it enabled. Therefore, I keep it disabled and things run fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akkerman Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I installed the most recent BIOS from XP and installed Mavericks 10.9.2 from a USB drive. The system boots and will run but I am having trouble with getting my audio to work and I can't sign into iMessage. I can sign into iTunes and the App Store. I am loving the process so far but need a little help please. Any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackmodford Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would suggest using Clover Configurator to create a proper SMBIOS with a randomly generated serial number for your machine to fix iCloud. Also see this thread to get audio working. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293001-mavericks-realtek-alc-applehda-audio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not using Clover as a boot manager. I flashed my BIOS and everything is in the BIOS now. Will Clover Configurator work for the BIOS boot solution? Thanks!

Hackmodford Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Did you end up using ozmosis instead of clover? If so I can't be of much help sinc I don't have experience with that. I am pretty sure the reason iMessage doesn't work is because your serial number is not unique, hence generating your own smbios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkerman Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I finally have Mavericks 10.9.2 working with audio, iMessage, and FaceTime. I also installed Windows 8.1 x64 on a separate SSD. It will boot into windows with the Ozmosis bios if I do not have my Mavericks drive connected. If I have my Mavericks drive connected the Windows 8.1 will not boot. it starts to boot and then reboots and attempts to go into auto repair mode. Any ideas? Thanks!

DiscoStew Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Will using Ozmosis work to upgrade my (almost) flawless Mountain Lion build? My specs are: GA-Z77X-UD5H w/ FW14 ; INTEL I7-3770K; GEFORCE 660TI; FUSION DRIVE (INTEL 335 SERIES 240GB SSD + 1T SEAGATE); PATRIOT VIPER 1600MHZ 16GB (2X8); It is my understanding that FW14 is the firmware of choice for this type of install?!

It was my understanding that Ozmosis was an alternative firmware that you use instead of FW14. In any case I just used clover as the bootloader. I don't see why clover would not survive the upgrade.

oSxFr33k Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Has any thing changed for OSX 10.9.3? I have the GA-Z77X-UP5-Th which is not much different except the thunderbolt. Will the flash drive boot or do I have to install clover to the flash drive so it created the boot file onto it? I ma doing this all on my Real Mac Pro to get the USB prepared. Besides the DSDT you are using are you also using SSDT for the Ivy Bridge processor or does clover take care of that part? I am still on Chameleon so I am still studying everything on clover before I actually twelve into it. I am assuming once I boot onto the machine using the flash drive I will be able to create a vanilla DSDT then just run the IASL on my Mac Pro and patch the vanilla DSDT or do I go through the actually install of OSX 10.9.3 to be able to generate a vanilla (non-patched) DSDT? If I never plan on running windows will I still need to change the OS to Windows 8 in the Bios? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoffsta Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I tried to download the latest custom firmware posted by xpa in post #166 but the link is no longer up. Is this still the state of the art in Z77X-UD5H hackintosh firmware? If so, does anyone still have the file for download? If not, can anyone direct me to an updated discussion? Thanks!

Scottapotamas Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Been out of the scene since 10.8 and I've come back to find this incredible set of UEFI tricks! Great work xpamamadeus. I'm pretty sure I have what you need. I'm not sure if I'm using the first or second version from that post. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6851931/z77xud5h_16c_modx.rom I flashed this earlier today as part of my efforts to get 10.10 working and retire my 10.8 and 10.6 installs completely. Is that bios the 'full' Ozmosis as posted by xp or does it require clover like your sig suggests? Couldn't see or boot to any vanillia yosemite install media, but have managed to install and boot using clover 2953 on a separate drive. I boot with 'BIOS' dsdt and clover mostly off, and the system is working perfectly (gpus, both NICs, sound, forced and unforced sleep and wake, Appstore etc). Booting in about 2 seconds after clover, so Im interested to see if I can boot with Ozmosis to remove clover from the picture completely. I do get the firewire GUID error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been out of scene becouse dont have hackintosh anymore. But i can suggest that u read how to fix GUID error in first or second page of thread. For ozmosis read whole ozmosis thread and i am sure u will have alot of fun creating your own bios for this board. posts that i post for this board are really old now and there are many better way for making ozmosis bios better than ones i post in this thread.. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
