100% successful Yosemite install Clover on GA-77N-Wifi
Hi everyone,
I followed Tony's guide and I can proudly say thanks to him and some homework I got my GA-77n-Wifi up and running perfectly. I'm going to give some details about what I did so that others can have an easier time.
Specs:
i7 3770k
16GB Ram
GA-77n-WIFI (F2 Bios)
Samsung 120 SSD
RocketFish Bluetooth
Final Kexts on EFI:
FakeSMC (from Tony's guide)
NullCPU (from Tony's guide)
Realtek Ethernet (from Multibeast lnx2mac)
RealtekALC.kext (will explain...) <--added after install, not needed before
DSDT.AML and SSDT being used as well. (DSDT was f2 stock from tonymac's dsdt page. SSDT grabbed in multibeast)
(I followed all steps on Tony's guide to create my config.plist as well)
(BEFORE STARTING MAKE COPIES OF YOUR STUFF ALONG THE WAY IN A SAFE PLACE IN CASE YOU SCREW UP).
My install:
1. Followed Tony's USB creation process and config. Remember to only use 2.0 drive as 3.0 will give issues until fixed (later)
2. I had a hard time getting 77n to recognize my usb drive. I finally got it to recognize but showed a boot1 /6 on black screen and then looked like it wasn't doing anyting. I thought this was an error and I kept rebooting... however after waiting 15 - 20 seconds and not touching anything, clover boot screen did show up.
3. FYI, I used a 2.0 usb drive that FLEW through install on my system using chameleon / unibeast. With Clover and default config through tony... it was SLOW... VERY SLOW... so be patient. Its almost hard to see the progress bar move. However I let it be and booted into the install.
4. Install will go a little slower as well. When it restarts, just pick your usb again and it will finish the install and reboot.
5. On this boot, pick the actual hdd and boot.
In the OS:
1. First thing is that I followed through Tony's guide and used configurator and created a config based on his settings. I also used his settings in the tutorial to install clover to my OS Drive. I did change my EFI partition to Fat (used his guide) and used EFI mounter v2 to access it (love this
).
Areas working off the bat:
- ethernet
- sleep
- very fast and stable system
- no orange hdd icons
- all around a happy start!
Needed to fix:
1. Audio (alc892)
2 Audio to hdmi (4000)
3 USB fix
Fixes
1. Audio ALC892: I wanted to not have to patch AppleHDA. I did some digging and found audio_cloverALC-100.command. This is a terminal script that will confirm your ALC version, ask what version you want 1, 2, or 3, and finally patch your config.plist and also create the RealtekALC.kext and put it in your efi/clover/kexts folder. (YOU MUST HAVE YOUR EFI PARTITOIN MOUNTED FIRST BEFORE RUNNING SCRIPT FOR THIS TO WORK). In the readme option 1 is for 5/6 audio connections, 2 forgot what it is, 3 is for analog / optical / HDMI audio (it will ask that you have a ssdt or dsdt patched... say yes if you choose this, but this will be fixed later). If you want HDMI out , pick 3. If you want normal, just pick 1. (look up 2 if you're curious).
if it's successful you should be able to reboot and have internal speakers, line out, digital out, (headphones when plugged in). The beauty of this is that it patches applehda.kext on the fly through clover and not through your system (very sneaky sneaky)
2. To fix the HDMI (and bonus clean up your DSDT ), this was very simple using Toleda's readme. I had to open my dsdt.aml while on the desktop (made a copy from my EFI partition) using MacIASL.
A > IMPORTANT: Before going further I looked on the very top of my DSDT and saw "A M I" across line 19. If you have this then continue. If not, don't and read up on how to fix
B > Next I went into the preferences and added as a source https://raw.github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_hd4000/master (and renamed it to Into HDMI 4000 Intel Fixes (name it what you want but remember it)
C > Once I added that I went back to the main screen and hit "Patch" icon. This brought up a list on the side. I found my named folder "HDMI 4000 Intel Fixes OR what you named it" and in there was a "AMI-Clean_Compile-7Series". I clicked on that and hit apply at the bottom, (give it a few seconds to complete), then I hit "close" button which brings you back to the main screen in. I then hit the "compile" button to make sure no errors were found. Zero were found for me.
D > Still on the main screen I hit "Patch" again and this time I looked for AMI-HD4000-AMD-NVIDIA. This is for AUDIO ID :3 (remember when I told you before when using the terminal script to pick 1 , 2 , or 3? This is where that comes in and you had to have picked 3 for this to work ). I selected that and once again hit "apply" (waited a few seconds to complete), then I hit "close", and then on the main screen I hit "compile" again to make sure no errors were found (none were found).
E > At this point we are 100% finished on fixing the audio part, but still need to fix the USB. The dsdt is not finished but will continue in part 3. Don't CLOSE MacIASL!! (leave it open)
3: USB 2.0 / 3.0 Fix:
This was pointed in my direction by other members on Tony's site and thank you very much. We are doing the same thing we did above but just have to add another location in our MacIASL preferences to get the patch we need.
A > So once again in MacIASL (still should be open from above in step 2), go to preferences then sources and add
http://pjalm.info/repos/intel7 and name it what you want ... I named it "USB Fix 77n". Once added exit preferences and
come back to the main screen.
B > Now at the main screen we are going to hit "patch" once again. Once in that window on the left we're going to look for "USB FIX 77n or whatever you named it"
C > Once we find the found we want to click on "USB Multiplex". Once selected we want to hit "apply" (wait for it to complete), and then we are doing to hit "close". This should bring us back to the main screen and one last time hit "compile". This should show us once again zero errors.
Now we have the DSDT we need! However, we need to save the new DSDT and put it in the right spot. So first you want to hit "save as" in MacIASL and it will ask you where to save your dsdt. Save it to your desktop and overwrite the file already there. IMPORTANT: make sure to add ".aml" extension to it. Once saved we want to go back into our EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched and replace our original dsdt with this one.
Finally, reboot.
If done correctly your USB, Audio, and HDMI Audio will all be working perfectly and you officially "in my eyes" have a wonderful working system.
I hope this helps everyone out with the GA-77n-WIFI. I know this is new to everyone so don't be too afraid and make sure to make backups along the way you can revert to.
