Elian_NWA Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So for me, I needed kext dev 1 and the video config from post #59 in order for it to work for me. Very odd people having different success with the same config Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkchaos Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Has anyone successfully gotten clover to boot on an up to date surface pro 1? I have only been able to pull off getting clover to boot with secure boot disabled (get invalid signature error when manually selecting UEFI boot with it enabled). First time giving this a shot on my SP1, to my knowledge windows 8/firmware have been updated to current. edit: looks like i'm experiencing similar issues to silkchaos... I'm at least able to boot installer using the more generic RehabMan tutorial on tonymac but looks like I'm not 100% able to complete it yet. I definitely think something changed on the latest update. Will let you know what I find once I dig through the config.plist/dsdt/ssdt To get it to boot from the USB, I had to use an older version of clover. - When I get to work I can check and see what version it is for you, I had to try several. Then, to get it to boot ON the tablet itself, without the USB, I had to install the latest version of clover (3185). I haven't finished all of the kexts yet, as the post office delivery guy stole my usb wireless card. I'm waiting for delivery tomorrow to finish it all up.

silkchaos Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yeh I'm all set up on my end. Newest clover ended up working for me but I installed with my own config.plist and then used the one posted here as a guide. What changes did you make in your custom config.plist, and what issues did it address? Now I couldn't get many of the extras working (Sound, usb, etc..) - So I reinstalled everything. Now, I have it booting up successfully. Screen has no static, Sound works, battery percentage and meter works.. But my USB port doesn't work.. I installed the GenericUSBXHCL.kext (from the Yosemite only folder) using kext drop, and it said it installed succesfully. I'm not sure where to head next. I have a wireless card to try and install once I have the USB working! editted to add: Interesting, I checked System/Libarary/extensions, and the GenericUSBXHCl.kext is not listed there. Installed manually by copying it to the folder (which gave a message that there was a problem with the kext file), then running: sudo chmod -R 755 GenericUSBXHCI.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel GenericUSBXHCI.kext rebooted, usb still does not get recognized/work. With the GenericUSBXHCi.kext in my 10.10 folder, i can boot to the drive with kext injected and it works, which fortunately means I can still copy files to the desktop to try new things to get it working normally. Sadly, I'm now stumped on next steps... Will continue searching the forums here - if anyone has any suggestions, I'd definitely appreciate it!! So close to fully funcitonal now.

silkchaos Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 ok.. So it seems that my USB 3 thumb drive works, but not usb 2... is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1c4rd0 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 @silkchaos it is really strange, try with boot argument: -gux_defer_usb2. my problem is that sometimes my surface boots perfectly with all graphic transitions smooth, to 10.0.2, and sometimes it boots a little slow, slow transitions in graphics, i can feel the defference. wen i boot and feel it is slow i just reboot without making anything different and it gets perfect again, really strange or just repair permitiossions to get it perfect again. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkchaos Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 @silkchaos it is really strange, try with boot argument: -gux_defer_usb2. Leave it to me to have the unique issues.. again.. Sadly, no change. I did a fresh reinstall (I have to admit, I am impressed with how quick an OsX install is compared to a windows install, even without updates). Even on the fresh install, I only tossed minimal kext files in.. My USB still did 3.0 but not 2.0.. even with your boot argument. Now, why would I be able to use this driver and when kext is injected -have usb 2 and 3. But when it is installed (kextdrop) - only USB 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy91 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi, im new to this forum and this is my first try to install yosemite on my surface pro so here are few thoughts from me: 1. i think OP should be updated to contains following items: using -v instead of -x will get you to disk utility for some people (for me this was the case) using no flags will get you to disk utility as well changing language from itallian to english is possible while on screen where you can select disk utility choose file from the menubar and first option which will launch the window to allow you to change the language also very important, first once you initiate install, procedure will last for about 4 minutes and after sitting a while on 1 second system will reboot after which you have to boot into clover again and add -x/-v(or opt out these) as launch parameters and then press space and select kernel injection again after which installer will continue. at this stage clover wont detect any mac partitions because installer hasn't finished yet, once you boot installer will continue and it will last roughly about 11 minutes, once done you will be asked to configure internet/create a new user (same as normal mac) also with people having trouble with ejecting the efi partition, helps to reformat it to fat32 and copy paste over efi-backup to it, which clover creates on install on the install partition of the pen drive, if after this osx is not able to mount it just use windows 2. here are some issues i had, i loaded all the kexts in my 10.10 folder when installing and booting with kext injection and performance was really smooth upon first boot, but as soon as i opetd out from kext injection and did a normal boot graphics started to be choppy and laggy now i reinstalled the entire system, will report my progress... (first time i used framebuffercapri now i will opt it out and see if it has any changes). Also another thing is that i have to use my usb to boot into mac all the time because surface pro doesnt want to boot clover efi upon boot, going to try with manually created efi fat32 partition containing everything i need in it. EDIT: appears that new version of clover never made a standalone efi partition, using old version provided with the surface pro 5.1 files does it appears EDIT2: using the old version of clover gives - this version of mac osx is not supported on this platform error will update to latest clover EDIT3: fixed by updating clover to latest version EDIT4: cant seem to get my edimax nanousb wireless adapter to work, any ideas? also screen is really dim is there a way to increase the brightness (apart from that everything else seems to be working pretty smoothly, havent tested the audio yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vudo Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 i don't know why nobody update die installation pack and the guide too. There are so many difference since the guide starts and 85% of the questions here are the same or based on the same problems. for german users pm me to get a actually pack based on my specified hardware. fixed the dsdt, ssdt, config of clover and updated every kext for yosemite 10.10.2 support. moreover you need to know. i'm just interested how we get the internal wlan to work! is there nobody here, a coder or some with connections to a specialist? ..we have to work together, to get the Rest to work.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also found updated ddst, ssdt, plist and kexts on some german forum, if someone wants them they can pm me and i can give them the link. dont know if posting the link here is against the forum rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vudo Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If international post here, this is the Original one, i only do the updates and fix all the little Problems and create new files for 10.10.2 support For Installation unse only clover 3113-3121, after installation and first setup update to the newest one, that's it, just easy workarround, there is a Clover-Bug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkchaos Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 So I reinstalled it fresh, and used your files Vudo, and the graphics doesn't flicker when it boots up or logs in now - much smoother. Everything works Screen is nice and bright, audio works. but my USB still only recognizes USB 3, no USB 2. Sadly my edimax wireless card is USB 2... I cannot figure out why my USB 2 works when kext is injected, but not after I used kextdrop and installed them directly, then shut it off and boot normally. USB 3 works perfectly.
