Lenovo U310 Mavericks 100% working OS X 10.9.4

Hi all

Like many others I've attempted to install OS X on my Lenovo U310.

What I'm writing here is NOT to replace the other threads about this notebook, but just to summarize exactly what I used and what I found.

The specs:
i5-3317
4GB RAM
32GB mSata + 500GB HDD
Intel HD 4000

1. Pre-installing

Unibeast 10.9 installer with laptop support.

Once it's done, navigate to org.chameleon.Boot.plist and add the following bootflags:

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>IGPEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>IGPlatformID</key>
<string>01660003</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>"1366x768x32"</string>

I added to the USB a folder with the following kexts / tools:
* Kext Wizard
* Chameleon Wizard
* Rehabman's Kexts for battery, voodoops2 controller, fakesmc, maciasl, ...
* Multibeast

Change the notebook's BIOS prior to installing by pressing FN+F2
2. Configure the BIOS: (Thanks to @cwk9852 !!)
A) Configuration Tab
i. USB Legacy - Enabled
ii. WLAN - Enabled
iii. SATA Controller Mode - AHCI
iv. Graphics Device - UMA Only
v. Intel Virtual Tech - Enabled
vi. Bios Back Flash -Enabled
vii. Intel Rapid Start Tech - iRST Disabled
viii. Memory Remap - Enabled
B) Boot Tab
ix. Boot Mode:Legacy Support
x. Boot Priority: Legacy First
xi. USB Boot : Enabled
xii. Boot Priority: 1) ATA HDD, 2)ATA SSD1
3. Exit, saving changes.

2. Installing

Once I got to the installer, I formatted both my mSata SSD and my HDD to Mac OS X Journaled and installed OS X to the mSata.

Rebooted using the USB (FN+F12 for multiboot menu) and select the SSD.

Open Multibeast and choose the following: (Thanks to @cwk9852 !!)
Quick Start
Select "DSDT Free"
Drivers
Click on "Disk"
Deselect 3rd Party SATA
Select 10.9.0 Trim Patch
Click on "Network"

Click on "System"
Patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement, select OS X 10.9.0
Customize
Click on "Boot Options"
Deselect Hibernate Mode = Desktop
Select Hibernate Mode = Laptop
Click on "System Definitions"
Select MacBook Pro 8,1

Install

Reboot, this time using the SDD and without the USB.

Connect a USB keyboard and a USB mouse, because built in devices won't work temporarily.

3. Post install

Once rebooted, it's time to edit the DSDT and install the kexts: (Thanks to @cwk9852 !!)

Patch DSDT and SSDT
1. Rehabman's Readme
2. Extract DSDT using MaciASL
3. Apply patches using MaciASL :

4. Compile, save as DSDT.aml save in /Extra

5. Use Probook Installer to Generate SSDT. Verify it is created in /Extra

Install Supporting Kext(s) --> simply open Kext Wizard and drag the files inside.
1. Use DPCIManager or Kext Wizard
i. VoodooPS2Controller.kext
ii. FakeSMC.kext
iii. ACPIBatteryManager.kext
iv. AppleHDA.kext (Attached; ver. 10.9.2)
v. AppleIntelFrameBufferCapri.kext (Attached; ver. 10.9.2)
vi. ACPIBacklight.kext
2. Repair Permissions, and Rebuild Kernel Cache.

VoodooPS2 Daemon must be installed as well!!

Getting Ethernet to work:
Go to http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296190-driver-for-realteks-rtl810x-fast-ethernet-series/

Getting Atheros Wifi + Bluetooth to work:
Bluetooth thanks to Rehabman's enabler kext:
https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Atheros-3k-Firmware

Wifi is in my case the Atheros 9825 and works with simply adding device id inside Airportatheros40.kext.

Getting the Webcam to work:
Although the DSDT has been edited, I needed to install the genericusbxhci from Multibeast

Getting 1.7GHz instead of 1.6GHz speed:
Chimera shows 1.6GHz Intel Core i5.
Overwrite with Chameleon and you will see it'll change to 1.7GHz.


Special thanks to Rehabman, cwk9852, ikkoku, XMYUKON, and TonyMacx86.com

good job. time to upgrade to 10.9.4

I'd also use this kext for ethernet

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely try the kext, it'll allow full speed instead of the half-duplex workaround, right?

I was indeed thinking of upgrading, will prolly do so tonight .

Grtz

Now running 10.9.4 as proposed by ikkoku .

However, Intel HD seems buggy, like the hardware acceleration is disabled...

Besides that, all is working fine . Will keep looking for the graphics, must be something I overlooked

Will do asap.

Meanwhile, could it be that it's because I forgot to add IGPlatformID=01660003?

I'm rebuilding caches with my new boot.plist as of now

You have to inject ig-platform-id=01660003 in some way or another. IGPlatformID is just one way... there are many.

I really don't understand what's going on...

I've reinstalled chameleon, then chimera, and so on.

I've re-patched my DSDT

The problem persists though.

I've added my IOReg in the attachment

Good morning

I'm happy to let you know I sorted it out. I blame the fact that I did an automatic update instead of downloading the combo update.

I got it to work by replacing all my kext files by the original ones in 10.9.4. One reboot and my hardware acceleration is back!

Either way, thank you so much for helping me out!!
