TheNavigator Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 I tried to go for MacPwn, but that was the result. http://puu.sh/aWu58/ed004ae3b1.png And okay, I'll try again, and leave it for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNavigator Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Didn't work. Left it for over 10 minutes, stuck at the same point. However, I guess I saw "Still waiting for root device" in the beginning, it didn't repeat though. In Mavericks there was a fix because of the USB 3 thing (I don't have any USB 2 ports), and the error kept repeating, however, for DP1 I didn't have to use any patches. That is weird...

mendietinha Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 if you get to dsmos has arrived then you don´t have still waiting for root device problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNavigator Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have no idea. I didn't notice it along with all that text showing up on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNavigator Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm already booting with Legacy, and I'll try removing video kexts and booting without cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNavigator Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Okay, I'm one step closer. It looks like I was right. "Still waiting for root device" shows up now, and it keeps on repeating. USBBusFix=Yes didn't fix it. That happened before, it was because all my ports were USB 3. I don't remember what was the fix, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNavigator Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yep, that was the fix. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294393-dell-inspiron-15r-special-edition/?do=findComment&comment=1979964 I tried that though and I was stuck with no "Still waiting for root device", just those errors.

TheNavigator Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I lost DP5, deleted it by mistake. I still have DP1 but I couldn't find any delta update links to update from DP1 to DP2 so I guess I'm just going to download DP2 and try the whole thing again. EDIT: Couldn't find DP2 either. The WiFi dongle's kext that works on Mavericks doesn't work on Yosemite, so I've got no internet connection. I have no idea how to upgrade. This sucks. EDIT: Even ethernet doesn't work on DP1. I guess I have to redownload DP5 from the app store again... Okay... P.S, is there any way to download DP6 directly after I redeemed DP5's code?

mendietinha Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 go for public beta 1 and update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNavigator Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 As I mentioned before, ethernet/wifi/wifi dongle doesn't work there, and I can't find delta upgrade packages for DP1 to DP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 can you install any dp and download from your purchases the full pb2 installer? it is very strange that the wifi and ethernet doesnt work. are you updating caches and repairing permitions properly?

TheNavigator Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm using Kext Wizard to repair permissions. I can only download DP5 from App Store. On the other hand, I found a DP1 to DP2 update. Hopefully, hopefully, that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 dont use kext wizard. use those 2 commands on terminal to update caches and disk utility for permitions: sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel -a x86_64 -z -v 2 sudo kextcache -system-caches -v 2 i could only rebuild caches with those two. maybe you can solve problems by using it.

TheNavigator Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Disk utility's option was greyed out, however, I installed that DP2 upgrade and graphics acceleration worked instantly. Brightness also works, sound doesn't, and sleeping seems to work, since it slept and woke up in DP1. Disk utility's repair permission isn't greyed out anymore, too.

TheNavigator Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Tried rebuilding cache and fixing permissions, ethernet and the WiFi dongle still both don't work. (I used the same package for the WiFi dongle that I used for Mavericks, www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/3539-tp-link-tl-wn723n-v3-tl-wn725n-v2-usb-wifi/ ) I'm going to start downloading the DP3 upgrade now. Hopefully as we reach DP5 things will start working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNavigator Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Why wouldn't ethernet work, though? The ethernet service in the network settings isn't even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
