Obtain Chameleon Wizard: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/257464-chameleon-wizard-utility-for-chameleon/

In the toolbar of the app, select SMBIOS and then click on "Edit".  Choose a premade smbios.plist.  Select something like MacPro 5,1.

 

Create an Extra folder at the root of your USB drive and put the smbios.plist in it.

 

Or, you can just delete the file I specified.

You must install chameleon on your usb pen, create an Extra folder with smbios. plist and install at least fakesmc.kext on S/L/E.

 

Without all these your pc can not boots Os X

Read and follow any guide for hackintosh installation here on forum

 

See ya

i have chameleon on my usb , when i press 1 before booting from usb , is booting from chameleon.

The last line is :

Loading drivers from /rd(0,0)/Extra/Extensions.mkext

After 5-6 seconds the pc is restarted.

 

But on my usb i have no Extra folder ????

First create an Extra folder on usb.

Put kexts and smbios.plist

Inside Extra sould be Extentions folder too.

Download or use extra from Lion, Mlion if you have or better for Mavericks.

Search google is your friend ...

 

If you have chameleon installed , use -v -f flags at boot time to see what cause pc reboot ...

 

Boot and read every error message while pc load kexts.

From your link ,  i put the kext files on /Extra folder but the problem is the same

 

Loading drivers from /rd(0,0)/Extra/Extensions.mkext

After 5-6 seconds the pc is restarted.

 

Extensions.mkext is not on my /extra.Where can i find ?

That's why. Sorry but if you manipulate system files using Transmac, you will corrupt them. Try to find someone with a Mac and a Mavericks install in his Applications. Use MyHack and a 8 G USB pendrive. Expect to wait at least 40 minutes or more until your USB installer disk is done.

Some files, example mach_kernel if at once was manipulated from other filesystem, it gets corrupted. Ask someone to give you an installation iso image you can burn it on an USB stick even on windows. I don't remember now what Windows software can clone it bit by bit and not corrupted.

i found a usb image file in .raw format , and i write the usb using Win32DiskImager

Boot from this usb and try with Chameleon:

.......

ACPI table not found : DSDT.aml

ACPI Table Not Found : SSDT.AML

Loading Drivers : Loading From  /rd(0,0)/Extra/Extensions.mkext

 

After some seconds the pc is restarted.

On the USB there's no Extra Folder.

i found another image of installation USB.

Now after chameleon boot , begin to load kext from /system/lybrary/extensions.

After loading many kext at some point the system restart.

But i can't see on which kext the system restart because the lines are going up very fast.

what can i do ?

 

Thank you !

I guess that you need a mac or hackintosh where create correctly your usb pen.

 

Follow this road you get ( try to create usb pen in windows) can bring you only to face a lot of troubles.

 

Last resouce install virtualization sw like virtualbox or vmware , download a vm with osx on it and from there finally create your usb pen.

Not easy and fast but someone use this way to get done.

 

Other way more easy: download an osx distro dvd like iAktos osx lion ,install it and then upgrade to Mavericks

 

I finished the ideas , now is your fault to getting thing done

 

See ya

Use USB pen to boot again . This time select Hdd.

Welcome screen,Create user, bla,bla.

 

Then install chameleon on hdd ( you need a chameleon 2.2 r2065.pkg )

copy extra folder to hdd.

Use kext wizard ( you have to download it) to verify/correct permissions on /extra folder and /System/Library/Extentions folder.

 

Now you can reboot from hdd!

That's all

 

You are very closer to finish ....
