anywho Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Is there any reason FakeSMC.kext isn't linked in the instructions in the beginning? Is it assumed everyone knows where to find it? (I don't. I do have a copy from 2012 tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoroLives Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi folks, I am trying this method but I am coming from a chameleon boot with Mavericks so the instructions are not really making clear what path I need to take? I tried this the other day and I really screwed up my Mavericks install. My Chameleon method uses the Extra folder and has no EFI folder. The Clover installer says I need an EFI folder and puts all the stuff in that folder. I should also mention that I am an intermediate user, able and willing to follow instructions - but please don't leave any steps up to common sense or I will get completely lost. That has to do with how my brain works (really).I suppose the first thing for me to learn is how to change over from Chameleon to Clover and boot normally in Mavericks? My set up does use a DSTD file and I am used to altering the chamillion.org file that in my Chameleon installation that resides in the Extras folder. Can someone please help me understand how to change this from Chameleon to Clover - apparently this is necessary before I can make full use of this install tutorial?I just want to get Yosemite installed and get back to my other projects. Nothing personal but I don't really care if It is Chameleon or Clover so long as It works. Since this thread seems to be well supported, if this can work, yay! Any help with this out there?Many thanks in advance.i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoroLives Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I have tried and tried but I have had no success. Following this threads instructions I Have formatted an 8 gig drive, formatted It as GUID, installed the install Yosemite on It, and used the latest Clover as linked in this thread. I also took my kexts and placed them in the 10.10 folder - although the instructions said I needed to create that folder. I guess the thread was started before that folder was added since the Clover reference was older than the one I just downloaded? So I can get to a boot loader screen on that drive. But there is no injection choice as the instructions suggested. I can try two different ways to boot to install disk, one starts to install but opens system utilities and wont go any farther than that. I can run disk utilities, choose a network tool, run a back up or install from the internet (which I am not logged into at boot up). And, what was the point of installing my Yosemite installer on that drive if I were to reinstall from the internet anyway? When I select the other install Yosemite choice I get to a spinning beach ball. Since the mouse was still active, I have It two hours in case It was actually doing something. Finally, I just gave up. One more thing, I can follow directions but I am not an expert at problem solving. I took my best guess at setting up Clover, staying close to the standard install as I could. So, can anyone suggest what I am missing here? The instructions speak of an injection but I saw none? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feriso Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I have been trying to get this to work on my hack (Q6600/800GT/GaP35DS3/8GB) and it the install boots from an internal HD ok as long as I don't do the boot without caches. However looking in the logs I'm nt sure it is installing as there is nothing in the drive where i asked it install apart from a few log files. One of those I noticed has 0GB in packages? Is this right? and then it seems to terminate abruptly (it goes for a reboot not a k panic) Can anyone shed anylight on why this is happening?

Where do i get the fakesmc kext from? Iv already done made the bootable usb with clover installed in it. Im still confused where to find the faksmc.

Macpro3.1 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Finally. Got to install and boot to yosemite, fast and reliable. No issues or instability. im writing now from the hackintosh. Thanks for the help and ALOT of research on my part on what works on my particular MB. took me one week to do this. but nailed it.........almost. my MOBOs realtek ALC 887 soundcard wont function at all as in empty in preferences/sounds. did everything right like in instructions with lilu and ALC. help please? really need to hear something. other than that everything seems to work as it should. and its blazing fast.

Macpro3.1 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 sorry that it took so long to come back. totally forgot it, here goes. so lets start with a bit of a history of my interest of making a hackintosh. In 2012 i built my PC from scratch with the little money i had. it is a mid to low mid specced gaming machine. Iv been fond of building a hackintosh but was always put down because my system, mainly my motherboard and GPU, because cheap, would not qualify for a hack. this was back in the days with tonymac, cant spell here his name, because its not allowed and it should stay that way. the people on that forum convinced me that i would never get my system even running anything because of my hardware. so i was very sad. no one would ever help me even start something. been lurking around this forum, insanelymac, for quite some time until just a couple weeks ago, i became a member. i asked a member here, ricoc90 thanks man, and he confirmed that my system would run at max High Sierra but not Mojave because of my GPU. so now i became very curious. one week of researching this forums and somewhat same motherboard as i have and see they too get theirs going but has some issues with IGPU or Audio. more movies from youtube, some more lurking this forum then i start to attempt my hack. it took me more than a week to finally and successully boot and run my machine stable with the hackintosh after hours and days of troubleshooting so many restarts and experimentation. so heres MY approach to this hack. it might even work with other OSX versions even. So after youve donwloaded the latest clover bootloader and the the clover configurator, you setup your yosemite USB installer. Install the clover to the USB with costumized settings, like these CHECKED: Clover for UEFI booting only Install Clover in the ESP on UEFI drivers, check: DataHubDxe-64 FSInject-64 SMCHelper-64 VBoxHfs-64 ApfsDriverLoader-64 AptioMemoryFix-64 EmuVariableUEFI-64 Install these on your newley setupped USB Installer. Once done, open Clover Configurator, Click mount and mount the USB Installer to open partition the USB`s "EFI" folder. On configurator, go to Kext and Install ALL (even those you dont know you need yet) the kext that is available on the options and direct them to the EFI folder of the USB installer EFI/clover/kext/others. choose OTHERS and NOT the specific OSX numbers. You need an internet connection to download those kext from using clover configurator. Alternatively, you search the web for a complete set of kext like from https://hackintosher.com/downloads/kexts/ i dont know if im allowed to insert websites here please correct me. there youll find all the kext you need. if there is a link about how to make the audio work and the link is broken, just search that in google and itll show up from thesame site as the hackintosher. we will cover the post installation and later on after the initial installation of your hack.. if you have trouble (better yet just do this) with the installation, just replace the VboxHFS-64 with HFSplus-64 and on the folder EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI. just do a search on google otherwise ill be happy to send you the file. so thats done.. now to your bios of your motherboard are some settings you NEED to disable and enable. disable: VT-D Intel virtualization intel rapid start intel smart connect IGPU if using dedicated GPU like AMD/nvidia serial and parallel ports deep S4 and ALL power on by ps2/keyboard-mouse, PCIE/PCI, RING, RTC network stack fast boot enable: SATA mode selection to AHCI not IDE IGPU if not using dedicated GPU like AMD/Nvidia USB2.0 EHCI controller Legacy USB support Legacy USB3.0 support xHCI mode EHCI Hand-off (this is important) CSM, Launch CSM enabled and choose: Boot device control: UEFI and LEGACY Boot from network devices :Legacy Oprom Boot from storage devices: Legacy Oprom Boot from PCIe/PCI expansion devices Legacy Oprom Secure boot: OTHER OS (this is important) and boot option to UEFI OS which is your USB installer. you have to experiment which name of the USB that would work. i was using a sandisk 64GB USB3.0 thumb drive and sometimes it boots from the UEFI OS sometimes Sandisk. you would know later. after start/restart, hold down DEL on keyboard to enter the bios setup from ASUS MOBOs. F8 to choose boot device. ok so lets go over the clover installer and finally install it in your machine. ............................................................................................................................. USE ONLY USB2.0 connections with your usb drive for FULL COMPATIBILITY. i highly stress to use analog connections from your either MOBOs VGA/DVI if using iGPU or AMD/NVIDIA DVI because for some reason, my GTX 560 does not connect on HDMI on this hack. this really took a guess work after installing and for some reason i get a "no connection signal" on my screen. really frustrating and took alot of anger why my setup was not done. it was done but because i was using digital HDMI i get lost connection. tried DVI on my GPU and presto, theres the OSX welcome screen. hahaha .................................................................................................................................. boot from USB by doing the steps mentioned above or pressing F8. once it says to install from clover, you press your keyboards SPACE for more options. select verbose mode, and NVIDIA web driver inject. then run from WITH KEXT. done correctly and it will show matrix like codes on the screen. be patient. sometimes the loading can be very long for clover to extract the necessary files. once you've installed the OSX and do the Welcome screen setup and hopefully you are in finder desktop, its time to install CLOVER into the main SSD/HDD of your mac OSX Yosemite. open clover again and run and install it EXACTLY THESAME as you did installed it in the USB. open clover configurator and mount the SSD/HDD OSX OS. open the partition and navigate to the EFI/clover/kext/other. connect your USB and navigate to the EFI/clover/kext/other folder from the USB and copy paste all the kext you had from your USB into the the SSD/HDD`s EFI partition EFI/clover/kext/other. DONE!!! you now have a fully stable machine. wait theres more. no audio you say? ok lets fix this. https://hackintosher.com/guides/get-hackintosh-audio-working/ that should fix your audio. for HDMI audio problem fix with this https://hackintosher.com/guides/hackintosh-hdmi-audio-displayport-sound/ thats it. I still have problems with my GPU not connecting in HDMI on hackintosh but works perfect under windows boot drive (not bootcamp) i hope this helps others.. you know id like to go high sierra or even mojave but with minimal updates on those OS`s compared to the Yosemite, ill just be happy with the Yosemite for now. thanks to this forum for lots of knowledgable people and lots of information. lots of troubleshooting guides from various hardware configurations. this hack is so stable that even my {censored} old USB card reader from like 10 years ago is natively supported, even my ver old slow CSR bluetooth dongle would connect my apple magic keyboard, mouse and trackpad no issues. even my VIA chipped firewire PCI card was instantly supported. for those that are having legacy audio interface like an Maudio firewire 1814, it will work with yosemite both real and hackintosh. i really love this interface because of its connectivity and simple to use and understand layout. you wont have the luxery of choosing the output,hardware, about options. but inputs work perfectly even on logic. think of this interface as like a focusrite 2i2 that has limited outputs. again for those that are still using legacy interfaces.......
