osxlander Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 @dmazar I agree that it's not about something going accidentally wrong; but it's just that os x has very specific requirements. hackintoshing wouldn't be a thing if os x supported universal installation (for lack of a better, tech-ish word) like windows and linux.

HoodedRobin Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've had another go, followed the instructions to the letter for my Surface Pro 2 (added to sig below), only using the V3 files (not copying across the extra ssdt-2, 3, 4 etc that were also in the folder) and still get exactly the same errors: "Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No such file or directory" Followed by "NTSF-fs error (device /dev/disk0s4. pid 220): ntfs_restart_page_border_is_valid(): $LogFile version 2.0 is not supported. (This driver supports version 1.1 only)" Plus a few others like that, then followed by a scrolling wall of errors (see previous pic posted) It'll then arrive at the white screen with the Apple logo and just keep the rainbow spinny thing going forever until I finally power it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 If you read old posts you'll see i've always suggested installing osx on a clean drive, and Then reinstall windows if u care about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynrsr Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I had once an issue on my laptop when I installed UEFI Windows 7 first and then OSX after it. Windows created 100 MB EFI partition as the first partition and that is fine. But OSX wants 200 MB EFI partition and then later OSX installer created another 200 MB EFI partition somewhere in the middle of the disk. This is not good. I solved the problem by reformatting the disk and installing OSX first (it created 200 MB EFI partition) and then Windows (it used existing EFI partition). I do not know if the same issue exists here, but there should be only one EFI partition and should be the first one on the disk (in OSX diskXs1). I it is not - something went wrong and it's not good. I can confirm this. I was having issues installing clover to the SSD but after partitioning the whole drive then installing OSX first, I was able to install clover to the SSD Also, I am having trouble getting sound and bluetooth to work on the Surface Pro 1 128GB Is that still an issue now? or is there a fix?

thatoneging Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 @brynrsr Sound, yes. Bluetooth still has not been fixed. Check Macspike's method for sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynrsr Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 @brynrsr Sound, yes. Bluetooth still has not been fixed. Check Macspike's method for sound. Thanks! I checked it out, but it didn't work. He said it was for the SF2, I Have the Surface Pro 1, tried it out anyway though, but it didn't work. -EDIT- Ok, I got it to work. Just reinstalled the voodooHDA.kext from the original post, changed the output, and it worked. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatoneging Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 @brynrsr Good! If you are interested in having bluetooth, you can buy a little bluetooth thumbdrive. Not ideal, but they hold you over until somebody figures it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brynrsr Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 @thatoneging - yeah... definitely not ideal but, beggars can't be choosers Also, do you know if its possible to add touch to the clover booter? Whenever I'm using my Surface as just a tablet, and I need to reset, it resets into the clover booter, which boots into OSX automatically after 3 seconds, but if I need to access windows, I have to attach a peripheral quickly before it boots into OSX, which is not ideal when I'm using it as a tablet. It'd be a lot simpler if I could just touch the drives in Clover boot. Or be able to navigate with the volume rocker. Know of anyway to do this? Thanks. @rfic I am totally down if we can get 10 people together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

issaacxu Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (SurfaceOSX) OK, guess I have to format the whole SSD, install OSX and then windows in order to install clove to Mac OS partition. The problem now is how do I get a bootable windows on USB? I installed Rufus but couldn't find recovery ISO from the recovery partition; I then created a recovery bootable USB from surface, only found that the EFI was messed up by Mac OS and I cannot boot from it! I then tried to download a windows 8.1 ISO following this: http://www.eightforums.com/installation-setup/33164-how-download-windows-8-1-iso.html only found out that the product key I found out from my Surface is not good for this retail version... Any other way? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 you have to use only windows 8.1 PRO image with a generic PRO code and then via kms "inject" the right product key, i've personally used rufus, and it should work, creating a bootable windows 8.1 installer is not strictly related to osx installation, it will boot even with a broken or disconnected HD, it doesn't care about any efi partition... if rufus is not working try another utility. P.s. after "injecting" the correct serial, windows could ask for phone activation, if it does simply do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 UPDATE (surfaceosx) The latest voodoohda (2.8.4) brings support to minidisplay port audio just be sure use midisetup after the installation and use a lower frequency or you'll experience audio glitches... i'm working on making headphone autodetection working too... thx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initiate understanding is that Rufus should be able to find the ISO from the recovery partition on Surface, but since my Surface Pro 1 came with windows 8, it would be windows 8 anyway? Again, by using Rufus I couldn't find any ISO on surface. Thanks again for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Shaw Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (surfaceosx) Thanks this great guide! I installed follow 0.2 version instructions, and then update to 0.3 version. But I got a 512M HD4000 graphics (0.2 was OK for 1GB), so I don't know if I had changed something somewhere else...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
