Yosemite success (Asus Transformer Book T300LA 13,3" FHD/i5-4200U/4 GB/256 GB SSD)

Here is my Yosemite installation process...

• I created USB installation media using the Unibeast (I did this on Mavericks that was installed Virtualbox - linux was the host os)
  http://www.tonymacx86.com/445-unibeast-install-os-x-yosemite-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
  
  
• Then I got that early boot issue and I fixed that by following this quide:
  http://racerrehabman.wordpress.com/2014/10/18/yosemitehaswell-kernel-patch-for-early-reboot/
  
  
• I did following modifications to the /Extra/Extensions folder on the USB:
  - removed AppleACPIPlatform.kext
  - updated VoodooPS2Controller.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller
  - added GenericUSBXHCI.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Generic-USB3
  
  
• Finally I booted USB installation media with flag: dart=0 -v
• On installation process I formatted my SSD disk using following settings in Disk Utily program:
  - Click Partition tab
  - Click Current and choose 1 Partition
  - Click Options...
  - Choose GUID Partition Method
  - Under Name: type osx or something else
  - Under Format: choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
  - Click Apply then Partition
• Installation ended for reboot --> open again USB-installation media because that early reboot thing is only fixed on the USB-installation media
  
  I needed to replace the vanilla kernel with the patched one. So, I entered to the OS X installer, and launched the Terminal (Utilities -> Terminal) .
  
  Then I removed current kernel and patched one that same location
  
  
  Code:

  cd /System/Library/Kernels/
  rm kernel
  cd /Volumes/<usb stick name>/System/Library/Kernels/
  cp kernel /System/Library/Kernels/kernel

• Then I launched again my USB installation media and selected the new icon on the right (The installed version of OSx)
  
  View attachment 108982
• Then I finished first time boot settings without internet because the on-board wifi doesn't work

I think most of the things works just fine out of the box. Even the touchscreen. Now I need to find some wifi stick that works with OSx and do the fine tuning

ToDo: After installation tuning, BIOS settings ....

Isn't this a duplicate: http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-co...s-mavericks-asus-transformer-book-t300la.html

Please DO NOT cross-post duplicates.

I don't see those as duplicates. If someone is looking for to install Yosemite, not Mavericks to T300LA. Example touch screen is not working out of the box in the Mavericks so process little bit differentiate between those versions. My bad was that I was asking the help first in that other thread that was started someone else. If you see these as duplicates, please remove the thread.

it's just another unibeast install. probably expected a clover install. you used rEFInd to boot the installation usb when you could have just made the install usb with clover which is another fork of rEFIt.
i guess i'll release a clover tut for it soon i only did an upgrade from 10.9.5 to 10.10.

I just haven't created a new 10.10 clover usb installer to test my file settings yet. just some minor issues left
-graphical glitches on installer and "boot animation" screens w/ QE/CI enabled
- fixed when bootloader is set to 1024x768 or disable QE/CI
-Audio - lazy me --Using VoodooHDA --no hdmi audio-using voodoohda --Volume rockers not working -Fn keys -lazy me --f1,f2,f5,f6,f7,f8,f9 not working(includes brightness keys)- the rest work and you can create your own shortcut to adjust brightness

I installed Mac OS 10.10.4 on my Transformer Book via Unibeast. The only problem I got is fixing the early boot issue on my internal HDD.
In this context I`m not allowed to copy the kernel into /System/Library/Kernels because I only got reading permissions. Fixing the permissions in Disk Utility and other online instructions didn't help me fix the problem. Do you have an idea? (Please give me extensive instructions )

Follow Clover guide. It has the patch built-in with KernelPm=true.

If you insist on using legacy bootloaders, read about kernel patch in the guide...

Already tried editing the kernel in terminal which also didn't work because of the missing permissions. Seems like I need to do it with Clover. Thanks anyway

You're attempting to copy the patched kernel to the wrong destination.

You should always read carefully.

Clover will result in a better, easier to maintain install anyway. Legacy bootloaders definitely not recommended with modern hardware (unless you enjoy wasting time).
