Warning: this is my first Hackintosh attempt EVER and first time I have ever written any type of Guide, so bear with me.
Ok, after a few days of screwing around and trying to figure it out, I got Hackintosh to finally install on my Samsung i5 NP540U3C-A01UB Ultrabook. Caveats to that are no built in wifi working and no touchscreen working and I tried SEVERAL KEXTS to try to get it to work
.
Here is what I did:
1) Downloaded Mountain Lion 10.8 from APP Store.
2) Downloaded UniBeast
3) Install UniBeast on USB drive MAKING SURE you select "Legacy USB Support" and "Laptop" selections on UniBeast, let it do it's thing.
To prepare the computer (which came with the worst OS ever, Windows 8) I recovered Windows 8 and re-partitioned the hard drive to give MAC the most space.
Shut down and get into BIOS (F2). LOAD DEFAULT SETTINGS then set the following:
ADVANCED>FAST BIOS MODE> DISABLED
ADVANCED>AHCI MODE CONTROL>MANUAL
ADVANCED>SET AHCI MODE>ENABLED
BOOT>BOOT DEVICE PRIORITY> Move USB HDD to the top, highlight SATA HDD and press SHIFT+1 and an '!' should appear next to it.
BOOT>SECURE BOOT>DISABLED
BOOT>OS MODE SELECTION> UEFI AND CSM OS
F10 AND CONFIRM SAVE.
I had the USB in the USB3.0 port, but it also works in the 2.0 ports and started the computer.
If it gives you the boot menu and doesn't load into the Unibeast menu then go back into BIOS and go to SECURITY>SECURE BOOT CONFIG> and select and confirm CHANGE TO CUSTOMIZED SIGNATURES
Once you get into the UniBeast screen, select your USB drive and it should start the install. During the install the screen with go to a white screen with a cursor on it which you can't move and appear to do nothing. DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER!!!! Set it aside and watch some TV. Mondays you have Pawn Stars, Tuesdays you have Top Gear, etc etc.
It will eventually take you to the setup screen and VIOLA ! OSX is installed on your Samsung Ultrabook
. It will give you a message for bluetooth that says no keyboard recognized, however, it is recognized and will work, just try to disable to skip bluetooth if you can.
I know it seems pretty simple but it took a lot of trial/error to get this thing to work. The main issues that there are currently is getting the Intel WIFI to work because I do not want a USB dongle, and to get the touch screen to work, I haven't tried to mess with too much because without WIFI, what is the point?
I am still a complete Hackintosh NOOB as this was the first time I ever tried to install hackintosh. Hopefully this will help you guys out as much as possible.
