Hello, i didn't updated my laptop but maybe one day to Sierra. Yes my kb back light works !

I'm still in 10.10.5 and yes it's working!

I did it :D http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-compatibility/177360-asus-rog-g551jm-yosemite.html Obviously, I did not write all the steps that have been repeated countless times and I suggest going to the reference thread to check the preparation of the installation media, the installation phase...

Hello everyone, this post aims to guide the Yosemite installation on the ASUS ROG G551JM laptop. I didn't update yet to El Capitan but maybe later, this tutorial will be updated. Firstly you will add this post as reference ...

Hi knastvaerk, I see that there are many people who want a step by step tutorial and I promised that I will do one when I have time. I have to motivate myself and do it this weekend. I have to do it :) So, be patient or try by yourself if u can't wait but this time i'll do it!:)

Hi matmatz750, i didn't find yet the time to make my complete Thread for this good laptop but i'll send you the files you need. For the EFI kexts i use theses : ACPIBacklight.kext FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext ACPIBatteryManager.kext FakeSMC.kext FakePCIID.kext...

Hi guys, did you use the Nvidia Drivers? If you try to connect only the Display Port screen (and disconnect the DVI) did it work??

Hi 3rdeyer, glad to see an other ROG 551 owner ;) Sure i will write soon a complete guide to install Yosemite on this beautiful Machine. Just be patient i think i'll have some time this weekend. :thumbup:

Thanks Rehabman but it was not a problem of kexts. I finally found after many hours of research and by the merest chance : I was going to System Preferences >Trackpad but everything was checked normally. I simply moved the scroll speed slider one notch to the right and it unlocked the function!

Last day, i made a backup of my acpi files (patched and originals) my kexts and i decided to swap my internal 1TB HDD by a 256GB SSD (i will use the 1TB disk as an data disk later when i'll buy a ssd caddy adaptater) and i restart the installation. Everything goes right, i installed Clover, the...

I deleted my GenericUSBXHCI.kext file and then restart (so i think it will use the AppleUSBXHCI.kext by default) then i try a copy of 10 GB from an external USB 3 HDD to my Desktop : it's take 4 minutes to copy against 1 minute with the GenericUSBXHCI.kext!!! Is it normal?? Edit : I fix this...

Thanks! But It's an Apple Kext right? I didn't find it in my OS X partition where is it located ?

Ok, so the best for me is to use "AppleUSBXHCI.kext" i have already patched with "USB _PRW(0x6D) and Rename XHC to XHC1"...

Thanks for the thread! After some test i think that my USB port is not in USB 3.0 mode but in USB2.0 I feel the transfert a little bit slow... Is it normal?? I use these kexts: RealtekRTL8111.kext AppleHDADisabler.kext AsusNBFnKeys.kext ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext VoodooHDA.kext...

Thank you so much for your great work :) It remains for me to disable my discrete graphic card (I've done it before my install from scratch with your post ;)) then I can try to install a wireless card to make this laptop 100% operational.

Eureka i find it!!! I've just Applied patch "7-series/8-series USB" and also "USB 3 PRW(0x6D) and Rename XHC to XHC1" patches to my DSDT file and voila! My Sleep mode WORK PERFECTLY :headbang:

Hi shutt1e, i make again my ACPI files and now they are clean. For my files I followed the Rehab Guide and applied these common patches for DSDT : "Remove _DSM methods" "Fix _WAK Arg0 v2" "HPET Fix" "SMBUS Fix" "IRQ Fix" "RTC Fix" "OS Check Fix » (Windows 8) "Fix Mutex with non-zero SyncLevel"...

The second option i guess! I will write a complete guide for my G551 after making working all my devices/stuff, so if you can't wait i suggest you to start like we all must do with this excellent tutorial from Rehabman ...

Sure, it is a basic about ACPI patching i guess. So, next time i'll made my own files.

So, there are maybe some ACPI differences between these 2 laptops : N551 et G551 even if we have the same bios version?! To be sure, we need to compare the 2 acpi extract from linux about the shutt1e's laptop and mine.
