Quick guideline to update the sp2 thx to aardvark23:

keep the installation pen and use it to reinstall the kernel and voodoohda and remove the appleauuc.kext have fun!

 

security update updates the graphic kext to fix

as suggested bt PokenGuy use his tool http://www.insanelym...intosh vietnam

and install: Kexts > Graphics > HD4000 DP/HDMI port.

 

This guide can cause:

 

Solar eruptions, Solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, random surfacepro explosions.

we are not responsable of none of this, i just can't be su sure about solar eruption 

 

just joking have fun

 

 

You need:

• 1 surface pro (1°gen or 2°gen)
• 2 pen drives (at least 4gb each)
• 1 Mac or Pc With Osx & Windows (Vm's are good too)

 

Read the thread post by post before asking for help or everyone is gonna hate you, truly.

 

Remember that if you have issues, you probably just did something wrong.

 

This guide is totally free, so say thanks, no criticizing allowed,

you don't like it, you don't use it.

 

Go get:

• IMPORTANT since the Surface Pro hasn’t any ms code sticker go get an app that reveal the code and BACKIT UP! (verba volant scripta manent) you’ll need it to activate windows 8.1
• one image of windows 8.1 (if you want to reinstall it)
• image of MacOsX Mavericks 10.9
• rufus for windows (usbkeymaker*)
• Clover Configurator (if you need to edit the config.plist)
• KextDrop​

Make a bootable USB Mavericks (Vanilla Installation):

 

1. Prepare your USB as GUID partition map with a HFS+ partition.
2. Download Mavericks from the APPStore (it will be installed in your application folder) and mount InstallESD (Right click on “Install OS X Mavericks”,  then it's in /Contents/Shared Support/InstallESD.dmg)
3. Mount BaseSystem.dmg by typing the following in terminal:
4. open /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg
5. Restore “OS X Base System” to your USB
6. Navigate to /System/Installation on your USB drive.
7. Delete the “Packages” link then copy the Packages folder from “OS X Install ESD” to this location.
8. Install Clover to the pen drive (http://sourceforge.n.../cloverefiboot/)

• Select your USB Drive and the select “Custom Install”
• Select “Install for UEFI booting only”
• Select Themes
• Select Drivers64UEFI

1. When installation is finished , copy Config.plist from attached files in EFI/CLOVER/
2. Copy dsdt.aml & ssdt.aml from attached files in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
3. Use pacifist to extract mach_kernel from /OS X Install ESD/Packages/BaseSystemBinaries.pkg to the root of your USB drive.
4. Copy the kexts from the attached files to System/Library/Extensions

​

Prepare a partition to install OsX:

 

(Clean installation of osx to a formatted drive suggested, jump to step 7 of installing osx to the surface pro. but if you wanna try)

 

1. Start Windows 8.1 on your Surface Pro
2. Go to the desktop, right click on the "Start" button, and open Disk Management
3. Select the C:\ partition, right click, and go to "Shrink Volume"
4. Enter the new size for the volume and click OK
5. Afterwards, right click on the empty space and select format
6. Format the new partition as NTFS
7. Shutdown the device

​​

Install OsX on the Surface Pro

 

1. Power up holding the volume down, with the USB stick installed
2. Clover will boot up, choose your USB stick and boot without caches and injected kext
3. Open Disk Utility once the installer has come up
4. Locate the newly created NTFS partition and select "erase"
5. Change the file system to HFS+ (MacOS Extended Journaled)
6. Exit Disk Utility
7. Install OSX to your the New OSX Partition (FOR A CLEAN INSTALLATION IN DISC UTILITY SELECT THE ROOT OF THE DRIVE AND FORMAT THE WHOLE DRIVE TO MACOSEXTENDED, REMEMBER TO CLICK OPTION & SELECT GUID)

•  When the Installation is finished. It counting down to restart.
• Go before the coundown is ended to the menu and launch the terminal
• If you are to late, boot again with volume down, choose your USB stick and boot without caches and injected kext and then start the terminal from the menu

1. Copy the extensions

• cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext /Volumes/"NEW OSX PARTITION"/System/Library/Extensions/
• cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/ACPIBatteryManager.kext /Volumes/"NEW OSX PARTITION"/System/Library/Extensions/
• cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext /Volumes/"NEW OSX PARTITION"/System/Library/Extensions/

1. Quit terminal and Shut Down the installer
2. Reboot back into Clover (you will need to hold the volume button again)
3. Select the newly installed Mavericks drive and boot without caches and injected kext (If you are experiencing problems, try a safe boot with these under graphics: injectededid, loadvbios and as fake id: 0x1660009)
4. Install Clover to the ssd drive 
   • Select your SSD Drive and the select “Custom Install”
   • Select “Install for UEFI booting only”
   • Select Themes
   • Select Drivers64UEFI
5. When installation is finished , copy Config.plist from attached files in EFI/CLOVER/
6. Copy dsdt.aml & ssdt.aml from attached files in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
7. Install Provided kext with Kextdrop app
8. have fun

Known Issues:

 

Don't lose time trying various wacom drivers to calibrate the PEN digitizer, i've tried them all, they don't work, Microsoft edited the vendor id! 

Proper Multitouch with gestures works, but works only with commercial Touch-Base drivers. Partial Stylus too (no pressure, right click or eraser) 
Sleep works, but the screen is black after awaking, volumes keys does "bong" so it's a no power to the screen issue :/  FIXED since V0.3

 

Still NO WIFI, sadly by now we need a usbwifi key 

 

 

SurfacePro 2°Gen. Steps:

 

Video Guide by macspike 

 

there is a "new surfacepro2" microsoft did a silent CPU upgrade with Intel 4300U CPU (1.9 GHz)

BTW adding "dart=0" to boot arguments in clover config.plist is the only extra step required.

 

Please don't post parallel guides, if you want to improve it write macspike a PM.

E. 10.9.2 update steps

 

The mach_kernel has been patched for 10.9.2.

 

You can still use the install guide from page 1 for the Surface Pro 2 (but of course      use the new files for 10.9.2)

Remove also AppleHDA.kext, if you use the VoodooHDA.

 

If you do a software update from 10.9/10.9.1, you have to boot after the update from a USB-drive and copy the new mach_kernel with the terminal (don't forget to copy the mach_kernel to a seperate folder on the USB-drive)

UPDATE : If you have problems with installation, remove the VoodooHDA.kext

 

If you experience audio glitches:

by akzidenz

 

this VoodooHda patch v0.0

this VoodooHda patch v0.1

should fix the audio e enable sound

read this post for more infos.

 

Look here

From MacSpike's post

 

I found a solution to get Audio (audio and mic) to work on the Surface Pro 2.

I used the VoodooHDA 2.8.0 (provided by akzidenz) - I add the kext with this post.

 

The problem is that you have to installed it right and a good way to do this is with the latest Kext Utility 2.5.6 (added with this post)

Kext Utility cleans up your extensions and repairs the permissions.

 

Follow these steps :

 

1. Remove AppleHDA.kext (of course, backup for later purposes) and remove your VoodooHDA.kext out of System/Library/Extensions

2. Copy VoodooHDA.prefPane (provided with this post) to System/Library/PreferencePanes

3. Open Kext Utility and type your administration password.

(It starts to repair the permissions of the current extensions and updating the system caches, wait until it's finished)

(It can take a while - about 2 minutes)

When it says : "All done, Have a nice ... day), you can proceed

4. Drag the attached VoodooHDA.kext on the window of Kext Utility

(it will ask again for your administrator password)

5. When this is finished, restart your Surface Pro 2 (boot up without caches and injected Kexts)

6. Go to your System Preferences and choose Sound

7. Make sure that the "Speaker(Analog)" is selected (in the Output-Tab)

8. Try your Sound Effects (make sure the Output Volume is up)

 

Enjoy the music ... :-)

Enabling Secure boot on SP2 (credits: Quattro74) [source]

 

I was able to use the sbsign tool provided here to get secure boot enabled on my Surface Pro 2. No More Red Screen!

 

First I had to download the software provided above as I have Mavericks installed I chose version 3, should also work for Yosemite. I just used the build executables by moving them into my /usr/bin I made sure to have newer versions of openssl, etc. installed. Any how once I signed all my Binaries in my Clover folder and Boot Folder. And added Policy <string>Deny</string> and Secure <true/> to by boot section of config.plist, I still couldn't figure out how to make it work.

 

So I installed the latest version of shim-signed from my ubuntu VM.

 

sudo apt-get install shim-signed

 

I copied over shim-signd.efi to my EFI/Microsoft/Boot folder

and named it bootmgfw.efi

 

I already had a copy of Cloverx64.efi there so I re-named that first to grubx64.efi which is what shim looks for.

 

The original microsoft bootmgfw.efi I renamed to bootmgfw-orig.efi, I created a custom entry in my config.plist that points to it.

 

Surface Pro 2 is tricky as it doesn't come with the UEFI 3rdParty CA installed so I had to find this tool online and download it. It is a series of scripts and files that you can use in windows to upgrade and add the 3rd party DBs so that you can use the signed shim to chain-load Clover.

 

It usually needs mokmanager to install its certificates. But I found it easier to use a keytool.efi USB key that I was able to create from an easy to find image that is out there.(Google)

 

I converted the clover signing certificate to a format that shim could use using openssl

 

openssl -x509 -in /path-to-clover-sign.pem -inform PEM -out /path-to-converted-clover-cert.cer -outform DER

 

or something like that.

 

Keytool needs the file to be named .cer in order to use it even though it is DER format.

 

So the procedure to lock down the surface pro 2 once all the binaries are signed is:

 

-Clear all of the secure boot section by disableing secure boot.

 

-Open the long named UEFI script that installs the microsoft dbs with right-click>edit,

 then in powershell eliminate the final line that talks about the PK. save as OnlyDBs.ps1

 

-Close and open the same long ass file as above, this time eliminate everything except the final line about the PK, save as OnlyPK.ps1

 

-Then run the OnlyDBs script with a comand prompt as admin. It should run without any errors.

 

-Copy over all of the .cer files you can find in the sbsigntool package. to the usb keytool stick including the new one that you created above.

 There should be one called cannonical that is used to sign the KEK and DB, another one under /src called Clover-signed.der(Re-name it to .cer)

 

-shutdown and boot up into the usb keytool. Use the Edit keys>Add to find the .cer files you copied over. The main cert that you used to sign the binaries then converted is the one to add to Mok db. Add all of them, one at a time, to DB, adding is the same as appending. Then the Kek is only getting the Canonical one added.

 

-Then reboot up into windows and run the OnlyPK.ps1 script. using the Admin Cmd prompt.

 

-Reboot into UEFI bios and enable secure boot. Save>Re-boot.

 

Should see black screen. then Clover.

 

The reason we have to use Shim is cuz it's one of the few trusted loaders that Microsoft decided to sign. So by chain loading Clover with it we can eliminate the red screen. Which we wouldn't be able to do using a self signed key of our own.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Installing Androidx86 4.3 devel:

 

 

Android IA (modded with working wifi, camera and rotation)

 

(installing it seems a little bit "tedious", right know you can test it live, if someone figures out whit a way to install it, i'll be happy to update the guide)

this is the link to download it btw, use google translate, i had to register to get the link, only thing not working right now is bluetooth.

probably this is the version Litux was talking about.

 

Android-x86

 

you need:

 

Latest ubuntu64 image

UNetBootin
AndroidX86 4.3 image

 

From Osx, create a ubuntu usbpeninstaller using UnetBootin.

then without formatting the pen drive create an Android folder and copy the whole content of the Android image in that folder. 

navigate to boot/grub and edit thee grub.cfg adding this lines:

 

 

submenu "Android" {
menuentry "Android" --class android --class linux --class os {
linux /android/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 quiet video=1920x1080 dpi=145 i915downclock=1 i915.powersave=1 usbcore.autosuspend=2 SRC=/android/
initrd /android/initrd.img
}
menuentry "Android text output" --class android --class linux --class os {

linux /android/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 video=1920x1080 dpi=145 i915downclock=1 i915.powersave=1 usbcore.autosuspend=2 SRC=/android/
initrd /android/initrd.img
}
menuentry "Android debug mode" --class android --class linux --class os {
linux /android/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 video=1920x1080 dpi=145 i915downclock=1 i915.powersave=1 usbcore.autosuspend=2 SRC=/android/ INSTALL=1 DEBUG=1
initrd /android/initrd.img
}
}

save and exit.

 

Open DiskUtility and create 1 fat32 partitions, 16gb will be ok.

use the usbdrive and install UBUNTU to the android 16gb partition (to install grubefi to boot android)

then after the installation reboot into osx format the ubuntu partition using disk utility

use efi mounter to mount efi 

Go to Disk Utility and check which is the number of the ext3 partition, mine for example is disk0s4 so in the grub file is (hd0,4).

copy this grub.cfg provided in the efi/ubuntu partition editing (hd0,4) with your correct android to be partition.

then install android using ext3.

 

You are ready to go, clover will see a new ubuntu efi entry, that it.

 

Known Issues:

No Wifi or Bluetooth (external usb is ok) (androidx86 guys are working on it, we should just wait some time)

No Sensors support (rotation)

No Camera support

Some Games and Apps are not working

What works?

i'm using it side by side with osx to play some games (i've tried max payne, rayman jungle run, Dead Trigger 2 and others titles with maximum graphics setting)

it's a bit more touch friendly, it flies on the surface with it's amazing specs and the battery seems eternal. 

Reinstalling Windows:

!!!check your key and backitup!!!

you need to make a bootable usb win8.1 installer, for this you can use Rufus and point it to the image of windows 8.1 rtm.

After it’s done from shutted down surface connect the key keep the volume down pressed, press power and release volume after the logo.

you should be in the installer of windows insert for now a generic key(must be a pro one) google it   ,

when you reach the partition manager select the drive you created from osx and remove it (keep attention not to remove osx and osx’s efi partition)
we are lucky because win 8.1 support guid partitions on efi systems!
then click next finish the installation.
 

Fix Bootloader: 

Boot back to osx using your osxpeninstaller you may need to boot safely

open the terminal

type:

• diskutil list

verify which is the system partition, the one where you installed osx. (* stand to the number of the disk ex. disk0s2, ** stands to partition n° ex. disk0s2)

then type:

• fdisk -e /dev/rdisk*​​​
• f **
• write
• y
• exit
• reboot

Done.

Congratz on getting it done!

 

[JahStories]

Thx 

[iFIRE]

hummm!!!! very easy this guide, but you forget of relat all problems that you have with Graphics HD 4000, config.plist, kexts etc..

a bit incomplet

[JahStories]

yes the guide is very easy, while instead my installation wasn't so easy without it... i've messed a lot trying to fix stuff but thx to you and some others i comes out the tunnel

 

it's still "incomplete" since there is no wireless and battery monitors

[JahStories]

Big News, i've been in "touch" with touch-base exactly with a guy named Dave, they makes touch screen drivers for almost every Os, and after a long talk he gave me a trial of Working multitouch drivers...

for example now if i scroll with four finger from side to side i can switch between full screen apps

if you want to have news before i post them visit touch base and mail to support

(p.s. these drivers will not be free :/ )

[joe75]

wow! great news

 

do you know what they support exactly? is it usb based or specific controllers?

[JahStories]

they support almost everything!

they added support for this device by a request of support via mail and seriously, this guy, Dave, worked during the night, i've send him a log the device id, that wasn't listed on supported device on their site and he sended me the trial driver

here a couple of screenshots

[JahStories]

The panel is usb but i think that wacom digitizer is not the digitizer IS usb, the chipset is a wacom W9002

 

more infos:

 

Pen Tablet: (Vendor ID = Microsoft)
HID\VID_045E&PID_079A&MI_01&Col01
USB\VID_045E&PID_079A&MI_01

 

P.s.

Microsoft edited the vendor id.

 

there should be a calibration utility built into osx, but as far as i know there isn't... cause the pen works almost perfectly even with pressure sensitivity!!

 

it's just sadly uncalibrated d*mn

[joe75]

very nice! i know a few people that have been waiting for this.

[erikk]

so touch driver is now completely working with these drivers?
that would be awesome... time for buy a new toy hehe

[JahStories]

@erikk

i bought it just to see how it handled Osx   and now it's the main os!

 

yes, it's funny to see this thing working before Apple do his own.

many apps in mavericks  seems  are made for multi touch screens!

pen is now working too with touch base drivers the stylus is calibrated with tb utility, but right click will be enabled with the next drivers release. 

and sadly no pressure sensitivity.

[JahStories]

Using switchresx this sweety runs in 720p Hidpi, that's really impressive, the different in aspect make it look better than win8.1.

here a screen

tell me if it isn't lovely

[erikk]

@JahStories

yes i believe i expect osx looks very beautiful on the surface, better then win8.1 hehe.

how about battery life with mavericks on that? 

when wifi will work i will go to buy it, unfortunately with just one usb port and no working wifi yet, i can't use it very well.

 

for wifi, did you try to inject device and vendor id of marvel card in this file already?

/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon.kext/Content/Info.plist

[JahStories]

Touch&Pen drivers released, to download go to TouchBase 

[JahStories]

@Erikk

i'm using a small usb hub with a even smaller usb wireless key, battery life is around 4 hours of heavy usage

 

Btw

I tried to modify the yukon2 kext, just added to ioprimarymatch the dev & prod. id ,No go

[ca0abinary]

@JahStories - Nice guide, however when booting I get to the message:

devfs_kernel_mount: failed to find directory `/dev`, 2

and then it hangs. Did you come across this issue, if so how did you fix it?

 

Edit: I manually created a /dev folder and that fixed the issue.

[JahStories]

never had that issue, but you shared a solution  and that is the hackintosh spirit,

 

BUT BTW 

 

the /dev folder is a system folder and should be created by the installer, and the fact is that, if it's not automagically created, the os image could be corrupted.  

[vcsg01]

Great job!  I've been hoping that Apple would just come out with an osx tablet for awhile but will most likely end up getting a surface pro 2 in a month or two.  Seems like the pro 2's components are about the same so I am hoping to not have any extra issues to take care of.  I'll definitely be purchasing the touch-base drivers.  $100 is easily worth the functionality.

 

I know in most installs I've read about with 10.8.* installs they have problems getting the tablet to properly sleep.  Are you having those issues as well?

And you are probably too busy to do something like this but what is the battery like like during light usage?

 

Keep up the good work!

[JahStories]

hope you get your surface soon

it's a great machine.

 

Battery least from 6 to 5 hours on light usage (without flash!)

 

p.s.

Sleep issues and drivers issues will probably be there for the surface pro 2 too :/

but maybe we will fix them sooner!

[SleepO]

Great work on this, looking forward to get this running =D

 

Now I can boot of the pen and get into the bootloader.

But after inserting -x and starting the OS X install, I get ACPI panic

 

 

Could you describe a bit more detailed what exactly you do when installing and booting Clover?

Do you select the UEFI options, 64bit UEFI options when installing Clover to the pen?

And do you select any injections when booting off it?

 

Edit: placing your config.plist in the EFI volume on the pen did it 

[JahStories]

Hi SleepO

you can try to put the kexts i've provided on the efipartition/Clover/kexts/10.9 

then in the boot loader select the drive press space and select no caches and kext injection

[SleepO]

Thanks Jah, that was how I got it further after putting in the config.plist! Now they are placed in S/L/E and it boots straight up.

The touch driver also seems ridiculously nice, just a matter of getting them payed now

 

Next up, a solution to this Wifi trouble..

Have you seen this mwiflex work for linux?

If we can get someone to look at this, I think the driver is somewhat built but need to be compiled to work on OS X.

Something else, you say sleep issues. My display goes to sleep, but the computer responds (volume buttons make sound).

Is this the behavior you have, or is there other sleep issues I have not yet ran into?
