I want o update my system definition from iMac14,2 to iMac 17,1.

My Hackintosh works pretty well, except the new updates doesn't appear in the App Store, and the computer never sleep and when I select to shut down the computer it always reset (I have to switch off with the physical button). Finally I have an intel 6700k. Those are the reasons I want to update the system definition.

I have tried updating using multibeast and choosing iMac 17,1, but I got a black screen and then a reset when the system os is loading. I used ketbeast with the lilu ketxt and the Nvidiagraphicfixup.ketx before the update. Must I do something else?

  • Using Clover Configurator Vibrant(CCV) DOWNLOAD, mount the EFI Partition of your System disk on the Desktop( See image)
  • Click EFI from desktop and reach EFI>CLOVER >config.plist
  • Right Click config.plist and open with...CCV
  • Go to SMBIOS and choose imac17.1 (see image)
  • Save edited config.plist [See 2nd arrow bottom left panel of CCV window]

I think my problem with the reset was I was using an old lilu.ket. I used carbon copy cloner to go back and used cmn699 fix and I have the Hackinsoth updated to 17,1. Thanks!
