NisseA Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Toshiba Satellite L755 1j2 Hackintosh Download This file. It contains the zip file with everything you need for the installation. • A Toshiba Satellite L755 1j2– This is necessary to install macOS Sierra for this tutorial • A copy of Mac OS X – This can be in the form of an existing hackintosh, a virtual machine within Windows or Linux, or even a regular Mac. If you don’t have any of these things, then find someone who can help you out for a while. I prefer using a hackintosh with OSX El Capitan, Using an already working copy of Mac OS X either in a VM or a native hackintosh install is HIGHLY recommended. • A 8GB USB flash drive (or larger) – We’ll be copying the files to the drive appropriately, so make sure that you have a flash drive with enough storage space (8GB or larger). A copy of macOS Sierra – The method used by this guide requires that you have a copy of the macOS Sierra Installation app, wich is available for free from the Mac App Store. This is for an clean install. 1.

bisk Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi. I also have a Toshiba L755 but mine is Intel HD3000 video only. Mine is running well with everything working flawlessly except for 2 problems. 1. It restarts on shutdown. 2. It restarts when entering sleep. Not a reboot when waking but a reboot when dropping into sleep. Even NullCPUPowerManagement will not stop it from sleeping and rebooting ! I have attempted shutdown/restart patches both in the DSDT and in the clover.plist with no joy. I notice that NullCPUPowerManagement is included in the download package. Is it necessary for you to load this to boot ? I do not need it or even to patch AppleIntelCPUPM but I am stuck with the pesky reboot on sleep problem. How is sleep/wake for you ? There is no custom DSDT included in your download here. Do you just use an OEM DSDT ? If you have modified yours, do you mind providing it ? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
