I am, but I don't have this laptop anymore. But ask away.

Hi Rehabman, Just letting you know the Battery Patch for Samsung ATIV Book 7, also works for the Samsung ATIV Book 8. So if you can add a comment to that one about that, thanks :)

If you want to install El Capitan, you need a modified version of the config.plist. (attached) and use the following to install OSX to the usb # temporary directory mkdir /tmp/install_esd # mount InstallESD.dmg in installer package hdiutil attach "/Applications/Install OS X El...

Samsung NP880Z5E-X01XX Yosemite Install Guide. version 0.2 by Vairn Introduction This laptop really was a pain to get OSX installed onto, after what seemed like months of work, I finally got a config which works for me. I have the Australian Model of this laptop, NP880Z5E-X01AU so, this...

Since I haven't got to testing El Capitan yet, I will make one in the Yosemite section first. I think El Capitan should be good, if you add the following to the config.plist <key>RtVariables</key> <dict> <key>BooterConfig</key> <string>0x28</string>...

Hmm, It looks to be not injecting the intel gfx properly. Boot into the clover bootloader, and check the following options. Config->Graphics Injector menu->Inject Intel[+] make sure that is selected. if it is wrong, try the attached config.plist. and I'll check the zip. Multibeast...

Yeah, I am downloading el Capitan atm, to play with. Once I have finished the guide, I was going to make a new thread. Since this is mountain lion haha.

Whoops, I thought I fixed that... I updated the link, and gave access to the file publicly. Let me know how you go. PS: I stole your signature and edited it, hope you don't mind ;)

Work in progress of the guide, atm. Completed uptill the end of the create USB part. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aN_8yKfQnC9vxxrPlTTUXa77IfeC49Lw94OPoN6W5zA/edit?usp=sharing

Ok guys, I have streamlined the process down a bit, done 3 test installs 1) Solo OSX on SSD inside PC. 2) Solo on External USB. 3) Multiboot with windows 10. I have yet to play with the battery settings which was linked by rehab-man. or the keyboard lights. This is what I have working...

I never got the brightness buttons working on it, all I could do, was if I unplugged the power and replugged it in, it went full brightness. I also got a wifi dongle that was compatible with it. Which is the WiPi, made for the raspberry PI.

Yeah, thats the value I mean, I guess I auto hexafied it when i typed it. Strange, if I didn't enter it, it didnt work though. screen would just stay on the loading bar for ever.

We need to transfer alot of files between sites at work, some of them aren't small, so the advantage of a USB 3.0 Drive makes it so much faster. And for Backups with Clonezilla it is like uberfast. Specially to SSDs.

try typing -v GraphicsEnabler=No on the boot screen, before you press enter to boot the install DVD, and later when you boot for the first time. Once it is installed you may need a HDMI cable to see the screen.

Hey guys, I updated from 10.6.5 to 10.6.7, there was almost no problems, except now it thinks I only have a Core 2 Solo, not a Core 2 Duo, so the machine feels alot slower, and I can't really do more then one thing at a time. Anyone else have a problem similar?
