OS X 10.8.5 Update

Article: OS X 10.8.5 Update

For both my hackintoshes with GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 the following worked:
1. Made a copy of the AppleHDA.kext from S/L/E
2. Removed npci=0x3000 from kernel flags in org.chameleon.Boot.plist
3. Installed the 10.8.5 combo update
4. Rebooted - at this point no audio
5. Deleted AppleHDA.kext from S/L/E - the one updated by the 10.8.5 combo
6. Installed AppleHDA.kext from step 1 using Kext Beast
7. Rebooted
8. Enjoy!

Why did you do #2?

BTW, are both your Z68X systems identically configured? If not, please put the two system's mobo/processor/graphics in your signature block. By doing that, you help us help you better.

timmillea,
Use the latest UniBeast (v2.1) which incorporates the latest versions:

Updated GenericUSBXHCI to v1.2.5
Updated AppleIntelE1000e to v2.5.4c
Updated AHCI_3rdParty_SATA to v0.4​

I tried to update my Haswell system again yesterday and today following the above by the book. Having made a new USB install drive for 10.8.5 and removed the GenericUSBXHCI.kext from it, the only way I could boot from the USB drive was using -x. Then I lost use of the mouse, and had limited keyboard functionality (both are wired USB) but enough to proceed with the install which reported as successful.

Rebooting from USB then selecting the drive I had just installed to, there was simply no option that would get me past the Apple boot screen with the whirling dial. If I attempted safe mode, it would say "ignoring mach_kernel .... can't find mach_kernel" and stop. In verbose mode I saw dozens of errors - many SMC - flash by but none to give any meaningful clues. I tried every work-around I could find recommended elsewhere all without avail. I did no better trying to boot directly from the main drive.

Aborted yet again. The Haswell Helper 10.8.4 install was a breeze in comparison. Restore to 10.8.4 now underway, again.

This has definitely broken the USB 3.0 expresscard hack on Apple Macbooks.

I did #2 to enable the audio. Keeping npci=0x3000 results in no audio despite replacing the AppleHDA.kext
Yes, both systems are identical. The only difference is F10 bios for one vs F12 for the other and the freq of the RAM - 1333MHz vs 1600MHz.

Hope the above helps.

How can i get os X 10.8.5 if when i buyed it was on 10.8.4 and the versione downloaded on my mac is The 10.8.4?

I get the impression 10.8.5 may prevent DSDT edits from working? Now I admit this is attempted on a presumed faulty hardware system (it was an attempt in case it was a software issue.

But in my build, the audio layout id defined by DSDT and the wifi card is injected via DSDT. Both were functioning prior to update(its QE/CI due to a DRM Status error that I'm thinking is caused by a hardware fault), but after the update, I loose Audio despite re-installing via multi beast (Without HDAEnabler due to having the DSDT edits) and the Wifi claims no hardware installed (Although ironically still shows in network preferences -switched off, and won't switch on of course-but I guess thats due to the preferences plist)

My Build:
Zotac Z77 ITX WiFi i7 3770T using HD4000
Realtek ALC 892 audio

I have this same mobo (GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3) and the npci=0x3000 kernel flag in org.chameleon.Boot.plist and loading the 10.8.5 combo update caused kernel panics at boot up. Glad I had a Carbon Copy clone of my system so I reverted back to 10.8.4! I'll have to try your steps and see if I can get a bit further.

Yes. As it turns out, somewhere along the line (I can't remember when), MultiBeast removed it as a Kernel Flag. I don't have it in either Zorro or Son of Zorro's /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist file. <embarrassed>To be truthful, I never noticed it being gone. </embarrassed>
