Hi guys i'm new here, i've tried googling for a while but couldn't find a solution for my issue.
i've successfully installed maverick with unibeast usb on my laptop samsung np300v5a and i have windows in another partition, but i have these issues :


- this is the main issue : i can't boot without the usb that i've made using unibeast. i've tried installing chimera , clover and refit but none of them works i keep getting a bootloop after starting the computer. i always need the usb to boot with it my mac os or windows.
here is my partition info :

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx). For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.
 
the system part was missing from my profile but i've had it in the title.
i've added it now to my profile too

Read post #2 carefully. You're still missing chipset and screen resolution.
 
i can't find the chipset model because i can't use windows right now, i was trying to fix my issue earlier with easybcd but i missed up the settings. but i just need now to boot my mac without the usb i don't care about windows for now please help

Without the 5 critical hardware details, I cannot tell you the correct flags/other procedures to boot OS X.

Do you know your screen resolution?

You can boot Linux from USB and run 'lspci -nn' in Linux Terminal to get details on the chipset (and other devices).
 
thanks for the fast reply by the way .
and here is the result of lspci -nn on linux : (i don't know wich line is the chipset :oops:)

It is 6-series chipset and that's all that matters (HM65 probably)...

Boot with:
dart=0 nv_disable=1 -v
 
i tried booting with this flags the mac started normaly but when i removed the usb and restarted nothing changed the bootloop is still here, i still need the usb too boot into mac .
the boot loop occurs before the OS selection menu. it's like i don't have the os selection and only the usb give me that menu

Which bootloader did you install to your HDD? Have you configured it properly?
