Pen Support:

 

right now, the final drivers touch base provides can't calibrate and/or take control of the pen, i've tested a version (the one you see in the you tube video) which worked with pen and partial pressure support too.

i'll post a fix as soon as touch base support answers my last email.

I think the problem with the pen could be that in the .kext in info.plist the product id is 1946 when it is actually showing up on my system as 1948. This would be one reason why it is not working but I'm not exactly sure!

first time hackingtosh user, long time mac user

 

i bought a surface pro 128G specially for hackintosh. i have read through all relies in the post, but it seems i still have problem even start mac osx from pendrive

 

​after i boot from pen drive and select "Boot Mac OS X from OS X Base System", i meet following panic information

 

"Unable to find driver for this platform:\"ACPI". \n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-2422.1.72/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpertt.cpp: 1541"

....

 

i'm using the latest clover ver (v2k_r2403) to generate EFI on pen drive, also copied all required kext, config.plist & patched acpi files to correct place from main post downloading

 

thanks for help

I had the same problem, I reinstalled clover to the pen drive making sure I chose the correct EFI drivers, I replaced the kext's and acpi files and it worked for me, but good luck! Runs great!

thanks. here's my EFI driver selections -- can u see if it's correct?

 

[JahStories]

try using guid partition table.

[rfic]

try using guid partition table.

i did use GUID already when i format pendrive

 

what else i should check?

 

thanks

[JahStories]

try mbr

 

and are you using the usbxhci kext?

 

it could be mandatory!

I think the problem with the pen could be that in the .kext in info.plist the product id is 1946 when it is actually showing up on my system as 1948. This would be one reason why it is not working but I'm not exactly sure!

 

since the driver is commercial and made for the surface pro it should work ootb, modifying the plists, may break the license and end the shareware period.

[rfic]

(SurfaceOSX)

 

you are not kidding me, right?   

 

as far as usbxhci, i'm confused -- i just copy your 5 .kext files; there's NO usbxhci

 

since i'm newbie for hackintosh, might need more clear guide  

[JahStories]

it's in the pack but btw here it is

[rfic]

it's in the pack but btw here it is

(SurfaceOSX)

 

hi, jahstories, 

 

i see u have "genericusbxhci.kext" in original pack; so i copied it to those places as ur guide -- do i need to use it or not? what do u mean by "mandatory"?

 

thanks

[JahStories]

just use the kext and use kexthelper to install it

[rfic]

just use the kext and use kexthelper to install it

(SurfaceOSX)

 

so u mean instead of copy files, i should use kexthelper to install these kexts to pen drive? -- i try some kext install program, it seems it always install to my mac computer instead of pen drive

[ouegamer]

(Surface2OSX)

 

What options did you use to boot to the installer? I tried -x -v -f in the clover options menu. And followed the vanilla guide with the attached kernel. and the fakeSMC, and NullCPUPowerManagement kext's.

Thanks,

[JahStories]

@rfic

use kexthelper.

 

@ouegamer

(Surface2OSX)

as far as i remember the guys with the surface pro 2 boots with -x adding under clover graphic the injected GFX code from 0x0000000 to 0x1660009 

 

goodluck

[rfic]

@rfic

use kexthelper.

(SurfaceOSX)

 

after i use kexthelper to install kexts to USB, and use clover v2k r2165 (instead of latest ver), i can install OSX successfully

 

then i use

• cp –R /System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext /Volumes/"osx partition on hard drive"/System/Library/Extensions/
• same for all other 4 kexts from 1st post download

@JahStories, in ur guide, u says cp -R to "pendrive", but i think it should be "osx partition on hard drive", right? also shall i copy all 5 kexts instead of 2 u mention in guide?

 

 

however, i meet same issue as others when i try to re-boot with installed OSX on hard drive; even i try safe mode, i still have the issue of "missing bluetooth controller transport"

 

anyone had this issue fixed can give some advice?

 

thanks

 

================

I don't know what's difference: originally I didn't gave specific name to partition; now I rename the partition to "Mac OS" and "windows". And I redo osx installation, and cp -R those 2 kexts in 1st post, everything is smooth , now I can boot into it and install clover on hard drive

 

Next step is to install windows 8

[rfic]

now i'm at windows 8 installation. but i have a new issue: it seems NOT allow me to install windows 8 on the partition i created for windows

 

the information is "the selected disk has MBR partition table. On EFI system, windows can only installed to GPT disks"

 

i'm quite confused since i thought when i use clover to format hard drive, i did use GPT instead of MBR

 

anyone can help?

 

thanks

You can't format the drive with clover, you are running on MBR, format the whole drive to GUID with disk utility during osx installation.

and there isn't any bluetooth transport issue, you just have to read every post. (press space under clover select graphics and change 0x0000000 to 0x1660009).

thats it.

this is needed just to boot, because at first boot you still don't have placed all the files of the pack to the hard drive.

after a successful boot copy the files contained in the efi folder of the pack to the efi partition of the new osx partition, then you'll not need to change that string anymore.

cause the config.plist have a code (ig-platform-id) that fully activate graphic acceleration.

Thank you. This is my terminal log.

Something wrong on my install process ?

I have same issue when I try to use fdisk; styrian mentioned using "sudo -s", but give me command not find error. Have you guys solved this?

Thanks

[JahStories]

that's seems like a hybrid mbr guid drive, you can't install windows.

Format the whole disk to guid via Disk Utility!

then create two partitions 

 

one hfs+ 

one fat

Hi !

Anyone know how to rewrite Hardware UUID ?

I wanna rewrite sorfaceOSX's UUID to My Macbook AIR's UUID ! 

[JahStories]

i've already tried that to achive appstore access, it was unsuccesful.

(i don't remember exactly how i did it, as far as i remember i've added a flag to the config.plist)

 

found it

[rfic]

you have to check the device chipset, and search for a driver...

i'm using an "invisible" usb rt73 usb branded edup and drivers supports 10.9 

or just search mac compatible one

(SurfaceOSX)

 

hi, jahStories

 

i bought a EP-N8531, which is said to compatible with  mac osx 10.9. but after i install its driver,no device found

 

do i need to some kext stuff? or just install it like on real mac?

 

thanks
