If I but had Linux running around... :)

Looks like I'll be a-waiting! :D
 
Incorrect. Need to inject a supported Device ID. No Genuine Mac has Generic SATA controller with a unsupported Device ID. Device ID Controller is not supported hence why its showing Generic AHCI Controller.
Makes no difference. It is the same AppleAHCIPort.kext whether "Generic AHCI Controller" is showing or something else.
 
The reason why Change SAT0 to SATA is because of ACPI edits. i.e On my Z77 Desktop i inject these Values to SATA also another reason is because on a genuine Mac's SATA comes under SATA not SAT0. Another reason on why i do it because OS X/macOS can talk to the hardware better...

For Z97/H97 hardware its needed because Series 9 has no Support hence why it shows AHCI Controller as a Generic Controller...
I don't understand why this is necessary. I have both a Z170 and H97. The Z170 run fine with SAT0 - I've notice no loss of data, etc. (The Z170 uses a M.2 NVMe SSD.) Although I haven't looked at the IOReg for the H97, again, I've noticed no loss in disk performance or data. So, why should I fix something that isn't broken?
 
I'd love to be in the Hackintosh club here, but I can't seem to do it. It's funny when you guys talk about "foolproof", I know a good deal about hardware...built a custom hard tube loop with some 1080 SLI's :headbang:. Lol, but I have ZERO experience coding, and in these build guides (I respect the hell out of you guys for doing them, without you I never would've tried this) you guys skip over some stuff. I imagine after I find out what I was doing wrong I'll think its easy, but right now I'm like :banghead:...pics of each step completed seems easy to include and would help dummies like me out a lot!!! The build I'm trying is hero viii, 1080 ti sc2 hybrid, h100i v2, (I'd like to put my 950 pro in...but Im not even going there yet) Samsung 850 evo, this card PC/Hackintosh - Handoff and Continuity - OSXWiFi - Apple Broadcom BCM94360CD - 802.11 A/B/G/N/AC with Bluetooth 4.0 OS X Yosemite 10.10+. I'm prob in the wrong forum, so smart people...where you at? HELP! :banghead::beachball::beachball::beachball::evil:

Well, part of your problem is that you are looking at the wrong build description if you're looking to install macOS on a HERO VIII, which is a SKYLAKE system. See MyHero build description (link in my signature block).

In addition to Stork's comment...

What exactly is the issue? Please start your own thread with the proper issue description & supporting trouble shooting files as will be requested.

There are loads of people here who can help you.

I prefer to have a OS that sees the Controller correctly. You don't have to do it but i choose to do it. Rehabman also does it. Its a lot easier for patching.

Yours is the guide I used...I prob messed up somewhere. I went to the other thread for answers.
 
I followed the MyHero guide to build my second hack and then found this thread as well. Both are great threads.

FYI - I used a USB 3.0 disk/key to install OS X. I just plugged it in the main USB 3 port in the back and had no issues at all.
