keekzzi Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hey Guys, first topic post! I have a Samsung RF511 (I5 Sandy, 8GB RAM, Intel 3000 graphics) and It will not boot Mavericks without a USB bootloader still inside. I have tried to install Chameleon and Enoch Multiple times to the HDD, but with no apparent luck, however... I think that it has something to do with the F4 Recovery option at the POST or BIOS startup screen , as when I pressed it, It booted up chameleon , I clicked on OS X, and it crashed! So I formatted the HDD and tried again, nothing at all this time! Don't know if this matters but... When the USB is in it boots up but when its out, it gives me a Error: "Reboot with proper boot device, or insert boot device and press a key" If ANYONE knows of a solution, I will be of great appreciation -UPDATE- I have now followed this guide TO THE LETTER to boot Mavericks: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla- os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners-updated-for-mavericks/ However the USB still won't work ???

SRSR333 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 If you're getting that message, you haven't installed Chameleon properly. What are your BIOS options set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keekzzi Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 All of them? (im now trying ti use clover on 10.8) but getting "[AGPM Controller] unknownplatform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSR333 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Use Chameleon. Clover doesn't work well. Your BIOS boot mode should be set to UEFI, and enable AHCI, VT-X and all that. To solve the AGPM UnknownPlatform message, delete NVDAResman.next from /System/Library/Extensions in single-user mode, refresh kernel cache and reboot. Problem should be solved.

keekzzi Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 the reason being that I am trying this whole process again, to get 10.8 up, download 10.9 and chameleon and then I will be on the same level to everyone else:) and ok, I will try that, but how do I because I cant get on? ???

SRSR333 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 You said you can boot the system with the USB, correct? Boot to the installer, select Terminal and navigate to your OS X installation drive by typing this command: cd /Volumes/"<Insert partition name between these quotation marks>"/System/Library/Extensions Then type: mv NVDAResman.kext NVDAResman.kext.bak This renames the kext to NVDAResman.kext.bak (to keep a backup). Now, reboot with the boot flags, -v -f And then see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
