New experiences, more stability.
Re-writed again. The most important here is the way to install it not the tools, ok?
After five hard days I finally make perfect my Hackintosh. The major difficulties are associated with conflicts in solutions already used earlier and are no longer valid now and a succession of KP due to items that I will explain here.
I use HD4600 + Nvidia GT640. Use last BIOS version (2.50).
I just like to share my experience and help.

1. Create a pendrive using Unib**t or another USB creator. Inside Extra folder (hidden) you will insert:
- Toleda`s Bluetooth (bcm4352bt.kext) and Wifi (bcm4352.kext) from here:
[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2
- Insert iMac 14,2 smbios
- AppleIntelE1000e v.3.1.0

2. Install using:
-v -x -f GraphicsEnabler=No      (or)
-v IGPEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 maxmem=4096       (or)
-v -x -f

IGPEnabler= solve BlackScreen
PCIRootUID= solve many debug and CPU errors
maxmem= solve Shared Memory errors in Bios

3. Use -v -x to go to OSx.
At first time I experiment a freeze to go inside SO. Just force restart.

4. Inside OSx, please delete AppleTyMCEDriver.kext, AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext and ApplePolicyControl.kext (S/L/E/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/Plugins). I have experimented KP when I select TRIM Enabler 10.10 from Multib***t if I have this kexts.

You should have an untouched DSDT. Don't use any SSDT (many issues).

Use Multib***t 7.0.1 and choice/install:
DSDT-Fre.e#

3rd Party Sata
FakeSMC

AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement Patch  (Teorically not necessary, but it works better)
AppleIntelE1000e v.3.1.0
Bluetooth and Wifi
TRIM Enabler
Chim**-ra 4 + Theme
iMac14,2 smbios

Important: NEVER use AppleRTC Patch (many KP if you use it), never use old FileNVRAM.dylib (KP), never use USB 3.0 (USBs issues - KP), never use ElliotForceLegacyRTC.kext (Shutdown/Reboot issues), never use any FakeSMC Plugins (many freezings after install).

Insert DSDT untouched inside Extra.

Org.Chameleon.Boot.plist:
EthernetBuilIn = Yes
DSDT = /Extra/DSDT.aml
GraphicsEnabler=No
IGPEnabler=Yes
Flags: kext-dev-mode=1
LegacyLogo=Yes
Timeout=2
UseKernelCache=yes
Graphics Mode=2560x1440x32             (bold = your Monitor Resolution)
USBBusFix=Yes

Generate C and P States = Yes
device-properties (string) (I use my Nvidia string here)

Delete NullCPUPowerManagement.kext if installed.

Repair permissions. Restart.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using Chameleon 2.3 r. 2434 from here:
 
1. Install Chameleon just using Bootloader and Theme. Nothing else.
2. Insert in Extra Folder/smbios iMac14,2
3. Insert Extra/patched DSDT 
4. Use in Org.Chameleon.Boot.plist
 
<key>DSDT</key>
<string>/Extra/DSDT.aml</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>kext-dev-mode=1</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>SkipNvidiaGfx</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>USBBusFix</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>2560x1440x32</string>     (use your Monitor Resolution here!)
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>device-properties</key>
<string>Use Your Nvidia String here</string>
 
Bold=just if you use an Nvidia as me!
 
5. Repair permissions and reboot.
 
Not necessary to use other informations inside Org.Chameleon.Boot.plist
