Hello to all guys.

2. BIOS (WARNING READ ALL AND BE CAREFUL)
3. SETTING MB
4. INSTALL Mountain Lion 1.8.2 with UniBeast

1. CONFIGURATION

ASUS P8Z77-V LX2
i5 3470
Al.750Watt
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz
Notes: I need 3-4 attempts to boot the hackintosh (working on it )

2. BIOS (WARNING READ ALL AND BE CAREFUL)
I managed to get to configure my hack only after patching the BIOS, took me a while to figure out how to do since this motherboard does not have USB so loved FLASHBACK.
First, we must take responsibility for this, patch a bios is not a simple thing. Any damage that cagionere to your motherboard is your business.


Read through this guide ALL! It is for the safety of the money you spent on your hackintosh

I did everything with a USB flash drive formatted with MS-DOS bootable.
Put FTK on this USB key.
Put my bios patched on USB Key. View attachment Z77VLX2.CAP.zipRename it as bios.bin and remember to put it in the bootable usb stick with FTK. (DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK)
For your enjoyment I attach the file with the BIOS patched by me, it's working on my system. Of course try your own risk.
CAUTION: When you are in DOS and have everything ready before giving the command "biosrefl", enter the command "backup" so you can find out if your motherboard has a regional bloc above (if you have the block is a mess, you have to follow the instructions in the link above that explains how to do in this case).


When you have patched the BIOS and FTK did not give any error. we may go.

3. SETTING MB


Enter the motherboard BIOS and verify that
ADVANCED -> AGENT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION -> CONFIGURATION GRAPHICS
Primary Display: iGPU
Memory: 32M
Render S: Enabled
Multi Monitor: Disabled


NEED Enable your AHCI mode for the HDD if it is not.


Then proceed to install ML with your USB stick prepared with UNIBEAST.

4. INSTALL Mountain Lion 1.8.2 with UniBeast

Bootate from USB and date-if x does not start. Then install (preferably in a hard drive apart specially for it) . RESET
Boot (if do not use boot-x). Complete the wizard the first time you turn on the mack.


Now you are in ..... But we have need to start it properly.

5. MULTIBEAST and tips


Run Multibeast and do:


UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation
Realtek ALC887 Without DSDT
3rd Party SATA
TRIM Enabler (if you have SSD like me)
FakeSMC
FakeSMC Plugins
Realtek - Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx


Now do not reboot and be careful that the network card installer tell you to reboot.

Now go to / System / Library / Extensions


delete the:
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext


Download the file http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-...appleintelcpupowermanagement-kext-10-8-a.html


Put the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext on your desktop and install it using KextBeast (you will find it around here).


6. EXTRA (Graphics)
Because the HD2500 isn't working you can't watch youtube video or flash thing. I read on this forum how to setup the right resolution.... But i need another graphic card....
Now go to / Extra / and look for the file called org.chameleon.Boot.plist
Open it and add Textedit
<key>Graphics Mode</ key>
<string>1680x1050x32</ string>
Set YOUR RESOLUTION!


7. UTILITIES (recommended)

Now open / Application / Utilities / Disk Utility
Click on your hard drive and go to S.O.S.


Click Verify Disk Permissions
Repair Disk.

8. END
Now reboot and Hope that all go well


WORKING IN PROGRESS

for USB 3.0 and other things (i'm buying a GT640 /GTX 650 in these days)
I have to figure out how to start my hackintosh immediately at the first time you turn it on, always needs some reboot.
I always start with-v and as i said sometimes my Hack don't boot. Need to figure how to

I Would like to thank's Toleda, Tonymac, Samisnake, Code rush, Zenbrs for their work!!! continue to do as well as you are doing now
