Any help would be awesome.

Hi.

 

Those screens are hard to read.

Well, copy the following kexts to the Extra folder of the USB installer you have created.

 

Boot with -f -v

 

Okay I tried this copied them both to the Extra Folder on my USB installer.

Booted with -f -v

and got this

Well, your chipset is intel: Intel® 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller.

 

That means high compatibility with OSX. This issue should not be happening, and you should be getting your installer to work without any issues and modifications. But laptops are always harder to sort out. You'll have to start over. Use the same guide: i used it a lot of times with 100% of success. Take it slow: a single misstep and you'll have issues. Please report back here when you're done.

 

Best regards!

The HD4000 and the intel Centrino wireless are not supported , you can buy a wireless card that will work for around 20 $ but it involves opening up the laptop and replacing the chip , not hard at all but yea. for the resolution fix just find the chameleon.plst and add the graphics mode tag and the desired resolution ex 1600x900x32 then it will display correctly no gpu acceleration tho. If you download ##### it contains the drivers for the trackpad and sound and keyboard.
