coasda Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hey guys! I have working bluetooth, but when I pair it with my nexus 5 I got very slow speed something about 80-100kbps. I use nexus 5 as hotspot. What is your speed?

enzo_md Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is it normal that I must always start on a USB key with Clover? The surface can not start on the EFI partition?

caleidosCope Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi enzo_md. You did not read my post(s)... read them again, there is the solution. (It is also written in the first thread .. as i remember.) (copy/install Clover to EFI-Partition) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308556-guide-surface-pro-1st-gen-el-capitan-clean-installation/page/6/#findComment-2269055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo_md Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yeah, i do that... I succeeded, I thought we had to install clover in efi folder from the Mac partition! So I followed another tutorial to properly install the efi partition Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308556-guide-surface-pro-1st-gen-el-capitan-clean-installation/page/6/#findComment-2269058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleidosCope Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Fine. And if you looked carefully you have seen... OS X brings a EFI-Partition. You could have been just copying the functional EFI-folder from your boot stick to the Apple-EFI-Partition (Screenshot above) 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308556-guide-surface-pro-1st-gen-el-capitan-clean-installation/page/6/#findComment-2269061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD100_1 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Firstly thank you for this excellent guide. Got the old SP1 out of the cupboard the other day and was wondering what to do with it. Now it has a extra lease of life as El Capitan works on it very well. Everything seems to work sound, graphics, bluetooth, wifi (via external dongle). The trackpad one the touch keyboard is not great and would drive me mad if I had to use it. I am using my magic mouse via bluetooth which works well. I installed switchresx to get a more usable resolution, I am currently using 1280x720 @60hz I am also running windows 10 as a virtual machine via vmware fusion. lol 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308556-guide-surface-pro-1st-gen-el-capitan-clean-installation/page/6/#findComment-2274013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

caleidosCope Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hello Folks ! Sierra GM is out ! shall we see a new guide for surface pro soon ? At least i will try... to get this siri on board. - But I will wait for the Sierra-Release... first updating my mac... then playing around. Honestly, i have little time, and need to "work" with my other Surface. I hope the Touchbase-Drivers are usable - if not, i am out - with sierra. I am not going to pay again :/ Firstly thank you for this excellent guide. Got the old SP1 out of the cupboard the other day and was wondering what to do with it.

With your setup ... have you tried to involve your virtual machine (w10) to get rid of the wifi-dongle? does your vm detects the bt and wifi hardware??? can u use it running vm-windows???
