For a Haswell i7-4700MQ, best would be MacBookPro11,x (I'm using MacBookPro11,2 on mine). You have to create it manually as no tools can currently create this smbios. The various information such as boardid, bios version and whatnot are available if you google search.

But you could also use iMac14,2 (which is available in Multibeast), which is what I used for a quite a while with my Haswell HP Envy...

The idea with picking an smbios is to pick one that has similar hardware as your own, not a random choice.
 
With smbios iMac 14,2 boots fine! Thanks! :D

I will try to undrestand how to create a custom MacBookPro11,x smbios...

Some hardware is still not working:

Ethernet Realtek PCIe GBE It's not recognized, can you help me?
Wifi Atheros AR9485-EG (I think this will never work, i need to repalce it?)
Audio Realtek ACL668 It's not recognized, can you help me?
Tochpad doesn't work.... any ideas?
A GEForce card is detected but i think it's not correctly recognized.. advices?

Thanks for the great help!

You could try Mieze's RealtekRTL8111.kext. But your device may be too new. Mieze is planning an update with support for some of the newer realtek chips.

Not supported. Replace it.

Google for patched AppleHDA for Realtek ALC668. Maybe someone has already created one.

Tochpad doesn't work.... any ideas?

What touchpad is in the laptop (Synaptics, ALPS, ELAN, Syntelic, etc).

Switched graphics such as Optimus are not supported. Best you can do is disable it from DSDT/SSDT.

It's possible "ASUS Touchpad"?

You can't guess. You need to know for sure. Then search for drivers...

FYI: ASUS does not make touchpads. Common manufacturers are "Synaptics, Syntelic, ALPS, ELAN"...

You can use Clover Configurator to create one for MacbookPro 11,x, then copy values manually to your smbios.plist file. Be careful that you have to add board-id to /System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist
 
No, i don't think, but to be sure I took a screenshot of my notebook bios:
bios.jpg

I've also tryed to install Touchpad driver using this elan kext (Rev.3.0.2):
http://forum.osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1948-elan-touchpad-driver-mac-os-x/
but the system does't boot it's blocked with no error messages:
2014-01-09 21.30.23.jpg

The touchpad semm ha been correctly recognized...
any ideas?

UPDATE:
I deleted the 2 elan kext from S/L/E but the system still doesen't boot without the -x parameter.. :(
