Were you able to come right yet?

Ordered myself a Broadcom Wifi card just waiting for it, once I receive it I will persue Hackintosh on same Laptop, mine is just the i5 though

The HD5500 graphics is a pain in the *** lol. I still haven't been able to get it working correctly yet.

So I gave up and went back to Win10 on this laptop. I have OSX on my Desktop working correctly so meh.

maybe once Multibeast 8.0 is released.. i'll give it another go.

good luck though!

Ill see if I can have a go at it and report back, let me know if you tried again and found something - will do the same

 

[tgmac]

Yup will do, I might give it another go this weekend even if Multibeast isn't out yet.

It's a lot easier having more people working on the same thing to exchange ideas, solutions, etcetc..

So I will report back here with the kexts etc that worked for me and we can brainstorm on how to get the rest fixed.

Multibeast not likely to help...

Pay special attention to the info on Broadwell (DVMT-prealloc).

I was able to get most of the stuff working, if you haven't figured it out, I can work on typing up what I did.

Would be helpful if you could...

Mainly what you used to boot (boot flags etc?)

Kexts working native and which one's you had to install?

Were you able to sort to HD5500 graphics with Full HD Res?

(sorry for the many question, just curious about the results haha)
