Hello everyone after several tests, I managed to create my first Hackintosh.
Before I begin, I would like to thank these guys who gave me many tips.
-Jithin.C.V
-WonkeyDonkey
-P1LGRIM
-malexry
-TheDrkStoner for the attached file.
Thanks to all those who have released materials and guides.
-Before Proceeding, to be sure that there are no problems during the guide ,disconnect all HDD and also the player (cd / dvd / bd) except for the HDD where you need to install Mac OS,attached to SATA3_0.
-I Will install Yosemite on a HDD clean, ie without windows preinstalled, because Windows 7 is installed in a 'another hdd, which is not attacked yet. (you can plug in all drive when your hackintosh work perfectly)
-During the Guide you will see a black screen problem (every time you boot Yosemite),I have not yet solved this problem, and it seems only the r9 290/x, to "solve" remove and reattach the cable to the monitor everytime you boot yosemite and encounter the black screen
.
UPDATE2:It seems that there isn't now the problem of the black screen of r9 290x with the newer update of Yosemite.
OOK.
PC configuration:
-CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k;
-MotherBoard: ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 bios 2.70 from ASRock Site (natively supports MAC OS X);
-GPU: MSI R9 290x;
-RAM: 8GB 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance Low Profile;
-HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB.
-Audio used: Only the motherboard. (In the guide you'll understand why)
-Internet Connection: DLINK DWA-140 USB (if you use ethernet you can skip the step 5)
Material that we will use in the Guide:
-USB at least 8gb.
-UniBeast & MultiBeast http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads
-Kext Wizard (Optional final step) http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=10
-BearExtender1200 (optional for USB internet adapter)
Use these programs, if you meet problems of boot0 after installing MultiBeast and restart the
PC.(explained in the guide)
-Chameleon Wizard http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=10
-Terminal
Now we can start.
1- Prepare the USB using UniBeast with this guide.
Guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...-x-yosemite-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
2-Configure the bios (version 2.70).
go to: EXIT / Restore default;
go to: OC TWEAKER / set CPU Ratio = PER CORE;
go to: ADVANCED /CHIPSET /set Primary Graphics Adapter = PCI EXPRESS if you use your own dedicated video card, otherwise ONBOARD if you use the internal one;
go to: ADVANCED /CHIPSET /set IGPU multi monitor= DISABLED;
go to: ADVANCED /CHIPSET /set share memory= 32;
go to: ADVANCED / STORAGE / set data mode selection=AHCI;
go to: ADVANCED / Super IO Configuration / serial port and Infrared port=DISABLED;
go to: ADVANCED /USB configuration / usb controller= ENABLED;
go to: BOOT/ Primary boot option / your hdd which you have inserted in the "port sata3_0"(you know this when you read P0:Your hdd, not P1 or P2...);
go to: EXIT / Save changes;
3-Install Yosemite:
-insert the USB;
-Start pc and press F11, then select USB to Boot;
-Press space;
-Now you have a little bar where you have to put your kext, it may happen that the kext are not the same for everyone even though we have the same configuration, so as not to encounter errors like kernel panic or similar, try including these:
-v maxmem=8192 (for me)your amount of memory and press enter;(It worked for my after some test)
or
-v GraphicsEnabler=No maxmem=your amount of memory and press enter;
or
-v GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 maxmem=your amount of memory and press enter;
or
-v GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=0 maxmem=your amount of memory and press enter;
OK, now chose the language,accept license, before press install,go in utility disco create a partition 1, format:mac os extended , option: GUID partition, now install,when finish, it reboot automatically so press F11 and select USB and USE THE SAME KEXT THAT YOU HAVE USED BEFORE to boot and configure your account;
4-Now you are in Yosemite, so open MultiBeast which is on your USB.
-Download the file in this guide:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks-desktop-guides/116155-success-asrock-z87-extreme6.html
-Press Load and select the file that you've downloaded in MultiBeast and add the missing option, seeing the setting MultiBeast file:
*if you use 3 jack output for 5.1 add the option in audio driver.
View attachment Setting MultiBeast.tiff
-Install driver, and reboot. Press F11 and select USB drive to boot,without using kext.
-Now in Yosemite eject USB and reboot.
If you encounter a problem like Boot0:Error or Done ecc. See this OPTIONAL STEP:If no jump to the audio step.
-(optional step)
-Start pc, press F11 choose USB drive and boot Yosemite.
-Open Chameleon Wizard click on install, built in, Boot0MD choose your destination HDD,Install and reboot pc.
If this steps fix the problem OK go to the Audio step, but if NOT use this OPTIONAL STEP 2:
-(optional step 2)
-Start pc, press F11,chose USB drive, press space and insert the kext that you've used before in the installation,then boot from USB.
-go in utility disco (click on info and see if your HDD is disk0s2) if YES* unmount your HDD.
if NO*close your pc and change the port SATA of your HDD;
*Start pc, press F11,chose USB drive, press space and insert the kext that you've used before in the installation, boot from USB;
*go in utility disco (click on info and see if your HDD is disk0s2);
-after unmounting the drive go in utility, terminal and press:
now exit and close your PC, eject USB and restart PC,now the problem should be fixed!!!
-AUDIO Step:
-Now audio work but only with an a home theater or HiFi plugged to the mainboard because r9 290x not support audio HDMI in Yosemite but:
if you have problem when switch to the headset ,or after sleep mode see this video to fix:
[video=youtube;y3IWcJMkOFQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=y3IWcJMkOFQ[/video]
-if you want to use the audio from your graphics card which is NOT a r9 290/x use this guide:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/hdmi-audio/143760-audio-hdmi-audio-applehda-guide.html
(if you use Ethernet connection you can jump this step)
5-Internet step with every USB adapter( for me dlink dwa-140):
-download and install bearExtender1200,before reboot insert your USB adapter,then you can reboot.
-(Optional Final step for slow boot/reboot)
if boot time and reboot are slow you can use these small tips:
-Go in utility disco and repair permission;
-Open kext wizard and rebuild cache;
-Reboot;
What's Work? Everything except iMessage.
