[Guide]OS X Mountain Lion in Acer Aspire e1-571


7 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Pre-requistites:

 

1) Mac OS X Mountain Lion Install App from app store

2) MyHack (other tools may also be used)

3) Required Kexts [included in the package]

4) An 8 GB or higher USB Flash Drive

5) A (Mac/Hack)intosh installation (preferably Lion) 

6) Some time

7) And Ofcourse an Acer Aspire e1-571

        Processor          :         Core i3/i5/i7

        Graphics Card   :         Intel HD3000/HD4000

        Audio Card        :          ALC271x

        Trackpad           :          ElanTech

 

What's Working:

 

1) The CPU Ofcourse

2) The Graphics Cards with full QE/CI

3) Sound works perfectly including mic

4) The ElanTech Trackpad works with multitouch gestures.

 

What's Not Working:

 

1) Wifi (Card must be replaced )

2) Broadcomm Ethernet

3) SD Card Reader

 

Procedure:

 

1) Open up Disk Utility and Partition the Intallation USB Flash drive with GUID Partition and Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) …. Name it USB[this is important] .

 

2) Open up MyHack and let it do it's magic....the process will take about 10 – 20 mins. Drop the E1-571 folder that I uploaded into the installation media.

 

3) Make sure the Installer Flash drive is named USB and is mounted...Open up terminal and type:

“ cd /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Extensions”

 

4) Then type in:

“sudo mkdir Temp”

 

5) Then :

“sudo mv AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelSNB* Temp”

 

6) Now exit the terminal and reboot into the installation media and install OS X.

 

7) Once the installation is complete reboot into the installation media but this time select the partition where you installed OS X and boot with the boot flag -v.

 

8) Please be patient as removal of AppleIntelSNBFramebuffer.kext earlier will cause system to wait for it and he booting may take upto 8 – 10 mins.

 

9) Set up the OS X as normal and once you get to the Desktop open up the installation media and open kext wizard and install all the kexts in the folder that I uploaded (Make sure to remove VoodooPS2.kext and AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext).

 

12) Use Chameleon Wizard to install Chameleon with the option boot0hfs.

 

11) Reboot and enjoy...

These are the required files.

MyHack can be downloaded from the site

 

 

Btw if anything doesn't work please let me know...
