luki1979 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 All I did was: Installed new Clover 2953 on Mavericks HD Rebooted just to make sure new Clover didn't break anything In EFI/CLOVER/kexts I renamed 10.6 to 10.10 and copied kexts from 10.9 folder to it. (FakeSMC.kext is a must in 10.10 folder and S/L/E) Downloaded Yosemite from App store and let it run After restart I selected OS X Install partition and let it Install Progress bar actually froze but I let PC on for an hour as I forgot -v Restarted and it booted Sign in to iCloud thing and then to Yosemite Only thing broken is that HW monitor stopped showing Fan speeds? Always have back up! This isn't guide just info. Thx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le0nardwashingt0n Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I did basically the same update and it worked great. After installing I kept getting a kernel panic at restart that I think was related to nvidia graphics. I added inject nvidia to config.plist and it seems to have resolved the problem.

luki1979 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 that's great. what's your graphic card? do you use web drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamdox Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 For some reason I can't get my kexts to load. I'll try deleting all the ones in the 10.9 folder. EDIT: Alright, 2 or 3 things. First, I needed to rebuild kernelcache sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel This brought back my ethernet. Then I needed to get the new version of Toleda's script for patching audio, which I'm sure everyone can find. I just said yes to everything and it's working, natch. Also, I went over to netkas's forum and found the newest nvidia web driver, which didn't download automatically for some reason. Note that I already had trim and fakesmc working, the latter probably because I also have a copy in s/l/e just in case. Happy hacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luki1979 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 My audio worked and ethernet worked as before. Unfortunately I got old Apple bluetooth and Airport. I don't have AirDrop or Handoff and it's extremely annoying as I do have an iPhone. I'm not sure if I should try Nvidia web drivers as my card works natively. I don't wanna break anything, but you always want better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion71au Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I can confirm that if you use Clover as your bootloader, you can directly upgrade to Yosemite 14A389 by running the "Install OS X Yosemite.app". In my case, this was an upgrade from GM RC3 to the final retail release version. Note: Make sure you have installed HFSPlus.efi in EFI/CLOVER/drivers64 & EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI (to replace VBoxHfs-64.efi) and boot Clover with injected kexts (FakeSMC.kext in EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/Other or 10.10). Steps 1. Run the installer from the Applications Folder 2. After the installer places files on the hard drive, the system will reboot ---> at the Clover menu, choose the "Boot OS X Install from xxx" option... 3. You will see the Apple logo and progress bar and then the real installation process begins... 4. At the completion of the real installation, the system will reboot a final time ---> at the Clover menu, now choose the "Boot Mac OS X from xxx" 5. You will now arrive at Yosemite's login screen. For me, all settings were intact and audio still worked (I use Piker-Alpha support kext method to patch AppleHDA). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luki1979 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I also did put FakeSMC in S/L/E just remembered. Some people reported that it wan't boot without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordadmiral Drake Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 How long did it take you guys for the installer to actually start? For me it takes ages to even get to the apple logo boot screen and from then on it doesn't seem to do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luki1979 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Today I extracted DSDT with DPCI manager (great app) and placed in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched after that I deleted NullCPUPowerManagment kext from S/L/E. It's now wakes from sleep instantly like real Mac. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordadmiral Drake Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well, I did exactly as you guys said in your posts. I created the folder /Volumes/EFI/kexts/10.10 and put FakeSMC.kext in there, added HFIPlus.efi in the drivers folder, updated Clover to revision 2953 and ran the Install Yosemite app. On reboot I selected the Install entry with inject kexts. From there it took several minutes loading stuff. The last things I see in the console are: IOGraphics flags 0x43 Sound assertion in AppleHDAController at line 556 Sound assertion in AppleHDAController at line 413 Next thing that happens are that the console disappears and the screen displays the apple logo with the progress bar underneath and the cursor in the corner. The cursor quickly switches to spinning ball and stays that way, though I can still move it. After some time the mouse becomes much less responsive, and the progress bar never actually progresses. I tried safe boot and I also tried deactivating graphics injection, but no change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your graphic card? I left that white screen with frozen progress bar for one hour and then restarted. Yosemite was installed. I got SSD but for some people with large hard drives installation took 3 hours! Ignore frozen progress bar and let it install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordadmiral Drake Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thats what I did with the kexts. Graphics Card is a Radeon HD6850M. Also, I dont mean the progress bar of the installer, but of the boot screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luki1979 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Did you test how far clean usb install would take you? If you can get to installer than you should probably do clean install and restore from time machine. I never installed OS X on laptop so can't help. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordadmiral Drake Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Say, could the graphics drivers be an issue? I remeber having to remove the AMD drivers to get to install OS X since Lion or Mountain Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordadmiral Drake Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 So, I was able to install using an USB installer. However, I can't boot the system afterwards, it just stops doing stuff halfway through after building kextcache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luki1979 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 For a fresh install follow carefully this guide. http://www.skylineosx.com/installation/create-your-installer/ Or maybe there is specific laptop installer? Google it. If you had working Mavericks than do the same install procedure just with newer boot loaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordadmiral Drake Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I tried it on my other PC first (which had a non-working installation of Yosemite Beta1 before) I'm trying again now with erasing the disk first EDIT: It worked Now, back to the laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
