Since I saw some people having issues with installing El Capitan on their Skylake Laptop I decided to write my own guide of how I accomplished the task. This guide will get updates from time to time. Alright lets get started.
[size=+2]Laptop Model: Spectre x360[/size]
Processor: Skylake i7 (U6500)
Integrated Graphics: Intel HD 520
Audio: bang & olufsen
Touch Screen:
WIFI: Does not work!/ Replace with NGFF BCM94352Z
Ethernet: No ethernet
What is working:
- Different Resolutions
- Graphics Acceleration
- Touch Screen
- Brightness
- Display-sleep
- Touchpad (works perfectly with different gestures)
- iCloud (iMessage, FaceTime, Handoff (with NGFF BCM94352Z), Notes, Calendar etc.)os
- Bluetooth (with NGFF BCM94352Z)
What doesn't work:
- Few artifacts / white settings-bar on top (solve with setting color profile (sRGB IEC61966-2.1))
(System Preferences-->Displays-->Color)
Installation:
What you will need:
- USB 16GB and more
- a machine with MacOSX installed to download ElCapitan
- MaciASL (https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-maciasl-patchmatic/downloads)
Follow this awesome guide by RehabMan:

Hint: In BIOS you have to disable: Secure Boot (to get into BIOS press F10 on boot)
Post Installation:
*Before you do anything Backup your default EFI*
To get battery status working:
1. Extract your DSDT with Clover:
- While in Bootloader press F4 (nothing will happen)
2. Boot into MacOSX
3. Mount EFI:
- Open Terminal
- Type: diskutil list
- look for EFI and the disk(whatever you will find)
- type: diskutil mount disk(the name on the right of EFI)
- Open Finder and go to EFI
- Go into EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/origin/
- copy DSDT.asl to Desktop
- Open DSDT and press compile (if this is your first time using MaciASL make sure to check ACPI 5.0 under preferences)
- Errors will appear (to fix them copy the code and search for the solution on the forum)
- you are done when no errors appear during compile (yes lots of Warnings will appear --> does not matter)
- Add "http://raw.github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch/master" to sources in preferences
- Click patch and select the "HP-DV6-3165sf" battery patch and click patch
- compile and no errors should appear
- save DSDT as DSDT.aml and drag it into EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/
- download https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-acpi-battery-driver/downloads
and put ACPIBatteryManager.kext into EFI/CLOVER/kext/Other/
- restart and see if it works
System Definition:
- Download:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=276
- Open config.plist in EFI/CLOVER/ with Clover Configurator and go to SMBIOS tab
- Click on the magic wand
- Select MacBook Pro 11,2 on the top (does not really matter, because there is no Skylake Mac out yet)
- Click a few times on shake on the right to randomise serial
- Check if serial is "not" used: https://checkcoverage.apple.com
- If "not found" --> save
Fix AppStore:
- Download:
https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-null-ethernet/downloads
- Drag kext into EFI/CLOVER/kext/Other/
Fix Display (Graphics Acceleration/Resolution/Sleep/Brightness):
1. Download and install newest Update from AppStore (10,11,5)
2. Graphics Acceleration: Change Platform ID in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist to 0x19160000
3. Brightness:
Fix audio:
- Download:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/voodoohda/
- Put kext into EFI/CLOVER/kext/Other
- Go to System Preferences/Sound/Output/ --> select Speaker (Analog)
Extra:
Monitor Frequency/Temperature/Power:
- Download:

About NGFF BCM94352Z:
- Buy the WIFI Card from eBay
- Ignore the compatibility warning (Does not work for HP Laptops)
- Install the card. Follow instructions (p.24+)
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04679496
-Finally boot into OS X (dual booters--> boot Windows to see if you have installed the card correctly) and follow this guide:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html
Pre made config.plist:
The config.plist I use was made by Rehabman. You can find it here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config?files=1
---> Download the config.plist which fits your configuration (e.g. Intel u6500 ---> download HD520_.plist).
