Black screen AGAIN after 10.10.4 update, found a temp solution


AMD Radeon 7850M, successfully updated to 10.10.3 using fix method: http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/161511-radeon-hd-7750-xfx-glitchy-after-10-10-3-update.html

Combo updated to 10.10.4, the screen went black again after loading kexts, tried fixing with the above method but didn't work, now it went black even I enabled the Safe Mode~~~~:crazy:

Here is my notebook info:

HP Envy 17t-3200 CTO 3D
Board:HP 1852 (Intel Ivy Bridge - HM76 Express)
CPU:3rd Gen Core i7-3820QM @ 2.70 GHz Quadcore
Graphic Card:ATI Radeon HD 7850M/8850M
Sound Card:High Definition Audio Device @
Ethernet Card:Attansic AR8151 V2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

DVD ROM:HP BD E DC6E2SH Blu-Ray Combo
Bluetooth:Broadcom 20702 Bluetooth 4.0

It seems that BIOS has blocked the Intel HD Graphics on my notebook. Also I am using chameleon booting method with extracted graphic rom file and the following SMBios.plist settings:


  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  2. <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
  3. <plist version="1.0">

  5. <key>SMbiosdate</key>
  6. <string>04/22/11</string>
  7. <key>SMbiosvendor</key>

OK, so no one can answer my question, then I'll do it myself: found a temp solution, which is replacing the 10.10.4's Framebuffer file in MacOS folder of AMDFramebuffer.kext with 10.10.3's Framebuffer, then install the modified AMDFramebuffer.kext back to S\L\E, clear caches and fix permissions. reboot and enjoy~~~~
