Clover Boot-loader change my old incompatible hackintosh to a (( real mac )) with Wonderful Install OSX experience
Clover Boot-loader change my old incompatible hackintosh to a (( real mac )) with Wonderful Install OSX experience …With the original install files (non-patched) that works in real mac..
I wanna share my Wonderful experience with Clover boot-Loader, so let's get start :
First : My old incompatible hackintosh specs :
Motherboard : Asus P5KR http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5KR/
CPU : Intel Core2quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz ..
RAM : 8 GB DDR2 800 MHz …
Graphics Card : MSI HD 6770 http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6770-MD1GD5.html
as you see it's an old hckintosh but works great for my work as Web Designer and programmer …
I created an original 8G 10.8.3 Mac USB stick with LionDiskMaker
http://liondiskmaker.com
I created my one DSDT.aml with DSDT Editor and Patches from Olarila.com
and have those kexts :
AppleHDA.kext for ALC883 ...
//==========================
AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext (original - just add my 6770 id)
ATI5000Controller.kext (original - just add my 6770 id)
edit @ 12 - 2013
With new clover fake id ... no more need to patch AMD kexts ... just added in config.plist
<key>FakeID</key> <dict>
<key>ATI</key>
<string>0x68b81002</string>
</dict>
//==========================
AtherosL1Ethernet.kext for network
FakeSMC.kext
JMicron36xATA.kext
JMicron36xSATA.kext
I install Clover on an 4GB (FAT32) USB Stick and make it first bootable device …
and edit Config.plist : and add those lines for GPU : (other is SMbios and some PCI & theme stuffs...)
<key>Graphics</key>
<dict>
<key>GraphicsInjector</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>FBName</key>
<string>Baboon</string>
<key>LoadVBios</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>VideoPorts</key>
<string>3</string>
</dict>
and put My DSDT.aml on EFI/ACPI/patched…
and put FakeSMS.kext in EFI/Kexts/10.8 and repaire permission …
sudo chown -R root:wheel /[usb path]/EFI/kexts/10.8/FakeSMC.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /[usb path]/EFI/kexts/10.8/FakeSMC.kext
Install OSX 10.8.3 :
1- boot from Clover USB
2- choose Mac osx 10.8.3 Install Disk
3- I was surprised to see this install screen
4- Choose Disk Utility and format my Macintosh HD
5- quit Disk Utility and install OSX
6- restart for first time the select Macintosh HD from Clover Boot screen
7 - after finishing ... and restart (( there is a recovery partition ...WOW and it's work like a charm )
8- boot normally to OSX
9- install My Kexts .. and Voila!!
What's work :
- everything works fine from sleep/wake up to power management ..
- Graphics work great (DVI VGA HDMI)
- All USB work without any problem with sleep
- Firewire - ATA - SATA Work ...
- iCloud
- Bootcamp work
- even (Find My Mac) work because (there is a recovery partition)
I think that clover worth to try it specially people have compatible hardware ....
Finally : you can download Clover Boot theme here

works fine 100% in mavericks
