[Guide] Update Sony 'S' Series to Clover & Yosemite

[jeffjohnson]

I'm sorry, I hope that didn't sound unfriendly. I was a bit frustrated about the errors at booting. I've got successfully installed OS X 10.10.5 with Chimera. Nevertheless big thanks to you RehabMan!

No worries. Since Clover has so many options, it requires very accurate configuration.

Hello,

thanks RehabMan I really tried it once more with Clover and was able to install Yosemite with Clover. But now I've got following issue:



My DSDT.aml and Config.plist have got the correct Resolution 1366x768 inserted, but when I start OSX Yosemite I've got this screen. Hackintosh is set up as Macbook Pro 8,1.

Is there a easy fix for that?

Thanks

Because you're using config.plist/Graphics/Inject/Intel=true, you're injection AAPL,DualLink=1. DualLink=1 should only be used for 1600x900 or greater (as these displays usually use a dual-link LVDS cable). The default value for DualLink is 1 in Clover.

You have two choices:
config.plist/Graphics/Inject/Intel=false

-or-
config.plist/Graphics/DualLink=0

You're doing all the required injections via _DSM in your DSDT, so you really don't need Clover injecting additional properties (hence, Intel=false is an option).

Awesome thanks! I used "Intel=false", now the resolution looks good.

I installed Yosemite directly (no update from Mavericks) may I have to do step 4 of the guide then? I think everything runs pretty well...

You'll need to read the section to see if you need to do anything there or if you're missing anything.

Hi there, I had done the first guide to install mavericks, I used 10.9.4 for quite some time until I decided to update to 10.9.5 and the audio stopped working.
So I followed this guide to try Yosemite and check it out before going back to 10.9.4 .
I got it working and even decided to try El Capitan, I have 3 partitions with the install of each one, so I didn't use a usb to install the os.
But the audio was still the same, not being detected. I got tired of trying and when I connected a tv/monitor monitor to it I started to hear sounds coming from the monitor, it seems it recognizes the audio but it doesn't recognize the speaker and neither the microphone. I can live without the notebook speaker, it was terrible anyway.

Mine is a brazilian model VPCSE 15FB, I will leave this message here in case someone is also having problems with the audio.

mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Note: It is easier if you use copy/paste instead of typing the commands manually.
