Hey guys ^^
I managed to install Mac OS X Yosemite with Clover on my current build:
MSI Z77A-G45
Intel Core i5 3570K
MSI GTX760 TwinFrozr 2GB (Worked OOB)
8GB RAM
1TB WDC
So... before getting into the steps to install Yosemite, I patched my BIOS, patching the BIOS on this motherboard saves a lot of trouble and kernel panics, plus, you get native powermanagement, sleep working, etc.
The first step:
My first step was patching the BIOS, I patched version 2.A0
In order to do so you need to update your BIOS to that version from MSI's official BIOS and then re-patch with the pacthed version (I'll attach the BIOS's)
- Download Official Update from this post
- Place E7752IMS.2A0 in s USB Drive
- Reboot and use M-Flash Utility from BIOS to update
- Boot into your current OS and do the same but with Patched Update
After that:
After patching BIOS I followed tonymac's guide on how to install Yosemite with Clover:
How To Install OS X Yosemite Using Clover
The only difference was that I didn't need the NullCPUPowerManagement.kext at any moment and everything worked perfectly with no trouble
If you don't have a Mac or Hackintosh to download Yosemite and to make the bootable USB, you can always run Mavericks or Mountain Lion on VMWare to do so. In my case I had Mountain Lion installed on my Acer Aspire 5738DZG and I could follow the steps.
Post-Installation:
Only thing that didn't work after installation was the sound, but it's easily fixable thanks to toleda's guide on fixing No Audio Devices and then Audio (both for Clover)
The guide I followed is in the PDF at the end of the post. After following the guide in the PDF I just followed this (again thanks to toleda for the guide):
- First follow PDF and then this
- Installation - cloverALC
- Download: (View Raw) audio_cloverALC-100.command.zip
- Open audio_cloverALC-100.command
- Confirm Realtek ALC (y/n) (892 for this motherboard)
- Legacy_v100202 (y/n) (Not for this motherboard)
- Clover Audio ID (y/n) (I put yes)
- Restart
- Audio is working!!
Well... I hoped it helped someone, thanks for reading and if any questions don't hesitate in asking
