swyner Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (Surfaceosx) Well I disabled the WLAN software unplugged the wifi USB adapter and deleted the wifi network and still reset automatically!!! Ahhhh! Now I will delete nullethernet network and see what happens. Something is causing a reset and doesn't matter if I am using it or sitting idle.

thatoneging Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 @Jah & @osxlander thanks to you both, checkin them out. I been dying to play some older rts games! Also, will this patch the display brightness issue with the SP2? I haven't figured it out if this pertains to the SP1, SP2, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swyner Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (surfaceosx) Ok, so I remove both the wireless LAN AND the NullEthernet network and I was able to have my Surface stay on, go to sleep, wake up and stay on for over an hour without resetting. So, by trial and error, it is determined to be the NullEthernet "network" setting. I did not remove or delete the NullEthernet Kext if that matters. So, given that, does anyone know why that would be causing my restarts? I did exactly the same steps in the instructions to get NullEthernet working and funny enough I had all App Store, iMessage and FaceTime all working at one point but now no matter what I do, cannot get iMessage. Now, obviously without the NullEthernet setup properly I do not have App Store now. I have reinstalled my wireless drivers and will see if it lasts for an hour without resetting. If so, then damn, it's the NullEthernet set..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issaacxu Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (Surfaceosx) OK, tried three days to install Mac OS to Surface Pro 1, without even getting into “Boot loader”. Guess I was missing something with bootable USB driver. Here is what I did, please help on trouble shooting. Much appreciated for any help! 1. Followed steps 1-6 from Mavericks Vanilla installation: Creating the installer 1. Prepare your USB as GUID partition map with a HFS+ partition. 2. Mount your Mavericks DMG (Right click on “Install OS X 10.9 Developer Preview” then its in /Contents/Shared Support/InstallESD.dmg) 3. Mount BaseSystem.dmg by typing the following in terminal: open /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg 4. Restore “OS X Base System” to your USB 5. Navigate to /System/Installation your USB drive Delete the “Packages” link then copy the Packages folder from “OS X Install ESD” to this location. 6. Use pacifist to extract mach_kernel from /OS X Install ESD/Packages/BaseSystemBinaries.pkg to the root of your USB drive. (Note: This is in the attachment). From here on I jumped to Surface Pro 2 section since it’s too simplified for me in the Pro 1 section “then install clover to the pen drive and copy the included kexts to: • *PENDRIVE*/system/library/extension/ *EFI PARTITION*/clover/kext/10.9/” So I downloaded both V 0.2 files and V 0.3 but followed Surface pro 2 section: 6. Install Clover to the pen drive (http://sourceforge.n.../cloverefiboot/) • Select your USB Drive and the select “Custom Install” • Select “Install for UEFI booting only” • Select Themes • Select Drivers64UEFI 6. When installation is finished , copy Config.plist from attached files in EFI/CLOVER/ 7. Copy dsdt.aml/ssdt-0.aml/ssdt-1.aml from attached files in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched 8. Copy mach-kernel from attached files to your USB drive 9. Copy the extensions from the attached files to System/Library/Extensions My problem here is that I was confused since I found that both EFI partition and EFI folder under “OS X Base System” contain Clover folder. So I ended up copied two .aml files to both places; also copied 5 kext files to both “system/library/Extension” and both 10.9 kext folders under EFI. I then prepared a partition as in Section B in Surface Pro 2 part: 1. Start Windows 8.1 on your Surface Pro 2 2. Go to the desktop, right click on the "Start" button, and open Disk Management3. Select the C:\ partition, right click, and go to "Shrink Volume"4. Enter the new size for the volume and click OK5. Afterwards, right click on the empty space and select formatFormat the new partition as NTFS6. Shutdown the device After that I was excited to plug in USB driver, press down Vol down and power button, but every time it went directly into surface Windows 8.1. I guess this will help anyone else like me with little OSx86 experience. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RehabMan Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 No sorry don't works on the surface pro 2. I would think the "Brightness Fix (Haswell)" will work on the sp2. In fact, I think someone here reported exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatoneging Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 @issaacxu Well first thing to check is if you disabled the secure boot (red surface screen). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issaacxu Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Well first thing to check is if you disabled the secure boot (red surface screen). Thanks! Just found on some Chinese website that I need to press vol + and power to disable it. It actually suggested that I should disable both? Now my Surface is stuck on blue screen after restart and pressing vol "-" and power button. Usually how long it takes to go into boot loader? Thanks.

So, must be something with my entire network card setup, kext, config file. Arrgg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swyner Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Or buggy USB WiFi drivers... Except I uninstalled the wifi driver and left the NullEthernet and it restarted. So it's when both or one of those networks are installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swyner Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 @Rehabman Should the "Ethernet" that is setup first be automatically named "NullEthernet" or do we just change the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
