MacOS Sierra Install Guide for Clover (with iMessages and iCloud)
This is a very quick, no-thrills, guide on how I managed to get Sierra installed on my build (which is almost identical to Yo Mangs). I'm going to assume you have a fair understanding on most of this... no hand holding... sorry.
Install MacOS Sierra onto a USB drive with Unibeast and the
Non-Legacy Clover settings.
Boot from the USB drive (in a USB 2.0 port) and use these flag settings:
npci=0x3000 cpus=1 -v
When logged in, open Disk Utility and format the Mac SSD (See bonus tip below for extra help). Install Sierra to that drive.
After it restarts, boot from the USB drive and into the Mac drive with the same flags as before.
Install Multibeast with these:
Quick Start > Legacy Boot Mode
Drivers > Disk > 3rd Party SATA
Drivers > Misc > FaceSMC v6.21-311-g2958g55.1723
Drivers > Misc > VoodooTSCSync > VoodooTSCSync 6 Core
Drivers > Network > Intel > AppleIntelE1000e v3.3.3
Drivers > USB > 3rd Party USB 3.0
Bootloaders > Clover v2.3k r3766 Legacy Boot Mode
Customize > System Definitions > Mac Pro > Mac Pro 5,1
For audio you
must use Multibeast 6. Even though the latest version of Multibeast claims to have the same kexts, they don't seem to work. Install these.
Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > Without DSDT > ALC892
Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > Without DSDT > HDAEnabler
The audio devices sometimes takes a good few minutes to show up.
Install the latest CUDA driver from Nvidia.
In terminal, allow the use of uncertified applications with this command:
sudo spctl --master-disable
Using Clover Configurator, mount the Mac EFI drive and open the config.plist file (EFI > EFI > CLOVER).
In the Boot section, enable
npci=0x3000.
In Default Boot Volume, type in the name of your drive.
In terminal, enable trim with this command (requires reboot):
sudo trimforce enable
Reboot. No more flags and no need to select your boot drive needed. You’re done!
Remember to remove the USB drive, it always seems to take priority regardless of BIOS settings.
To get iMessages/iCloud working, follow this guide:
For CUDA Support open terminal and run this:
/Applications/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CC\ 2015.3/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CC\ 2015.app/Contents/GPUSniffer.app/Contents/MacOS/GPUSniffer
Take note of your CUDA Device Name. Mine is
GeForce GTX 670
Then this do this command:
sudo nano /Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CC\ 2015.3/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CC\ 2015.app/Contents/Resources/raytracer_supported_cards.txt
Move the cursor up and enter your Graphics card name to the list. This CUDA trick no longer needs to be done for Premier Pro and the cuda_supported_cards.txt file.
From time-to-time, my system crashes at the apple logo. I haven't found a connection as to why it happens yet. It tends to take ages to do anything until a circle with a line through it shows up. I'm not sure why this happens yet, but an interim solution is...
Put in your original USB drive you made with Unibeast into a USB 2.0 port. Use the same boot flags as before too, but this time boot into your Mac drive straite away. You're now running with 1 CPU (very slow). Open up Multibeast and install the
Quick Start > Legacy Boot Mode option. Eject the USB port and restart as normal. Let me know if anyone knows why this happens to them (if at all).
Bonus tip
If you have a Windows system to hand and are having issues with the EFI drive not formatting correctly go here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/215349/how...protective-partition-from-a-drive-in-windows/
It essentially says; open disk management and check your disk number of the drive you want to format. Right click the Windows start icon and go to "Command Prompt (Admin)". Type:
diskpart
list disk
select disk [your disk number here]
clean
I hope this helps.
if i'm here is because this world fascinated my so bad i wanna try to do this by myself.
