Kuebeker Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Are you stalking me Could you tell me where you installed the AppleHDA5Series.kext? The USB key installer does not have S/L/E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maromi Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Are you stalking me Could you tell me where you installed the AppleHDA5Series.kext? The USB key installer does not have S/L/E. post-install S/L/Extensions also you should not use your old patched DSDT...i know that it won't get audio working make a fresh patched one using the above instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maromi Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Updated guide and install files for El Capitan Current users should remove the old BRCMPatchram.kext & AppleHDA5series.kext(replaced with G73JH.kext), update Clover, and use my config.plist with your own serial# or update yours to reflect the needed changes from here https://github.com/Maromi-/G73JH-OSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namquang93 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hello.

baronbr Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hi! First of all, big thanks to Maromi. I`ve just installed successfully Yosemite+Clover (UEFI) @ g73jh, but my sound isn't working at all (no output sources). I have installed g73jh.kext in SLE using KextWizard, but it doesn't show as `running` after reboot. I`ve tried to: 1. Fix permissions and caches 2. Use nocaches in config.plist 3. Use some kexts to make it run (AppleALC, for example) ---- << I`ve already erased the kexts Can you guys help me, please??? Thanks! Cheers from Brazil.

Ricnotes Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi Maromi, first want to say thanks for your work on this. ive been trying to get to the clover boot screen, but only see a blinking cursor. I’ve followed the guide perfectly, not sure what could be wrong. only thing I can think of is my clover install maybe doesn’t have the right options ? i selected clover for UEFI booting. Installed aptiomemoryfix. As well as fakesmc and voodoops2touchpad any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
