Aju Deeju Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 If you have access to a mac then try creating a usb installer tool using apps like myhack and do an install....from your specs you should have almost everything workng except for your wifi if the system has a centrino or AR9485 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I leave this flag off, i get the white apple screen with the spinning wheel and then the screen goes completely black. I have tried many methods to get this working including injection etc to no avail. Has anyone managed to get this working at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
