How to boot to the installer using clover

Follow this to make your bootable USB: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298402-os-x-yosemite-dps-builds/page-4?do=findComment&comment=2024254

  • Put FakeSMC.kext inside /System/Library/Extensions
  • Under Clover option write this boot arg: 

  • kext-dev-mode=1 -s
  • Go back in drive selection and select your USB, push enter
  • Once you are in single user mod type

  • /sbin/fsck -fy
    
    then

  • /sbin/mount -uw /
    
    then 

  • cd /System/Library/Extentions
    
    then
    chmod -R 755 FakeSMC.kext
    
    then
    chown -R root:wheel FakeSMC.kext
    
    then

  • kextload -v FakeSMC.kext
    
    then

  • exit
    

You should normally see the install screen

This actualy worked for me , now am runing the installer ,

Do i need same steps when i want to boot from HDD ?!

 

You are able to boot, huh.  What is your SMBIOS settings in Clover?  I am using iMac14,2 now as a test, and previously (with Mavericks) MacPro6,1 both not working to install (though does boot the installer)

Thanks.  I am also typing this from Yosemite - found the problem I was having (forgot to copy BaseSystem.chunklist and BaseSystem.dmg into the USB root), and the install went without a problem.  Only had to add FakeSMC and everything seems to be working well. (still need to add a kext for audio, but my wifi, video, and everything else are functioning).  

 

I am really digging the new design..  Looks quite elegant.
