Prequel
 
Hi, my name is Luan and today I will show how I installed the OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3 on my ultrabook.
I know that my procedure maybe can be made in other ways, but this is about how I made it.
I am part of this world for four years. Since the launch of XCode 7 and no need to sign the Developer Program to test applications on the iPhone, I decided to install OS X.
God bless WWDC15 (I'm not religious, just a popular saying in my country).
 
 
What works and what does not work
 
- Processor -> Tick.png Work. i5-3317U @ 1.7Ghz/2.6Ghz.  SpeedStep 8 to 26 stages. AsusAICPUPM <true/> in Clover config.plist. 
- Video Card -> Tick.png Work. HD4000. Full QE/CI.
- Chipset -> Tick.png Work.
- HDMI -> Tick.png Work.
- VGA -> Cross.png Not work. I did not have time to fix yet.
- Audio -> Tick.png Work. Kext VoodooHDA + AppleHDADisabler.
- WiFi -> Tick.png Work. Replaced by Athero 9285 Wifi/Bluetooth.
- Ethernet -> Tick.png Work. Kext Experimental Atheros AR81(31/32/51/52/61/62/71/72) Driver for 10.7/10.8.
- Touchpad and keyboard -> Tick.png Work. Kext ELAN, FocalTech and Synaptics (Smart Touchpad) Driver (Mac OS X).
- FN keyboards keys -> Cross.png Not work. I did not have time to fix yet.
- Brightness control -> Tick.png Work. DSDT patch.
- Sleep -> Tick.png Work.
- Battery -> Tick.png Work. Kext ACPIBatteryManager by RehabMan and DSDT patch (below).
- Card Reader -> Not tested. I have no adapters.
- Integrated Camera -> Tick.png Work. Kext AnyiSightCam.
- Bluetooth -> Tick.png Work. Kext Bluetooth Firmware Uploader and ControllerPowerState change to 1.
- Boot Logo -> Tick.png Work.
 
 
What I needed to install
 
- Running install of Yosemite on VMware -> Downloaded version 10.10 via torrent (Google it). You can use a real Mac of an friend. I believe that Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion (10.7), Mountain Lion (10.8), Mavericks (10.9) also work.
- Two USB flash drives of 8GB -> One for OSX install and another to the bootloader. This second not need to be 8GB, a 256MB is perfect.
- OS X Yosemite install app -> Downloaded via App Store inside the virtual machine. I used version 10.10.3.
- CloverEFI -> Also downloaded inside the virtual machine. I used build 3229.
- DSDT patch skills -> Needed to battery works. How to patch DSDT.
 
P.s.: You can use a single flash drive, in my install I used two because I don't wanted lose the os install created on the main flash drive.
 
 
How I created flash cards
 
Install flash drive:
 
Partially used @snatch guide. More specifically this part:

 

 

 

 

 

Quote

Format a 8GB+ USB with GUID partition mapping and name it Install.
Insure the OS X Yosemite.app is in your Application folder.
In terminal run the following script.
 
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Install --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction
 
This will take several minutes so be patient, the script will notify you when complete.

 
In the part above used the first flash drive (8GB).
 
Bootloader flash drive:
 
Format the second flash drive with GUID partition and Journaled file system type. If you want to use only one flash card, don't format!
 
Downloaded the CloverEFI (used 3229) and installed with this options:
Screen_Shot_2015_06_17_at_7_23_30_AM.pngScreen_Shot_2015_06_17_at_7_23_39_AM.png
Options:
 
- Install for UEFI booting only
- Install Clover in the ESP
- Drivers64UEFI - CsmVideoDxe-64
- Drivers64UEFI - OsxAptioFixDrv-64
 
Will be created a partition named EFI. Edit the /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist and change those values:
 
- SystemParameters - InjectKexts - <true/>
- Graphics - Inject - ATI - <false/>
- Graphics - Inject - Intel - <true/>
Graphics - ig-platform-id - 0x01660003
- KernelAndKextPatches - AsusAICPUPM - <true/>
 
P.s.: I will provide below my config.plist as attachment.
 
Now you will capable to boot in installation, but your keyboard and mouse will not work. Let's fix that:
 
Download the Smart Touchpad kext from here. I used the version 4.3. This also enable the touchscreen.
- Download the FakeSMC kext from here. I used the version 6.9.1315. This is very important. Can't boot without it.
- Put the Kexts inside /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/
 
Now you can start the instalation without problem (I guess).
 
 
BIOS Setup Configuration
 
- Intel Virtualization Technology: Disabled
- VT-d: Disabled
- USB Configuration - XHCI Pre-Boot Mode: Disabled
 
P.s.: BIOS version 210.
 
 
Installing indeed
 
- Plug in the two flash drives.
- When appear the Asus logo, press ESC once to enter Boot Menu.
- Select the flash drive name with UEFI prefix. In my case "UEFI: KingstonDataTraveler 2.0PMAP".
- On CloverEFI menu, use arrow to mark the flash drive with de OS X install, press Space on keyboard and select: "Boot Mac OS X in verbose mode".
- As usual, format your HDD or SSD as GUID and Journaled. Make more partitions if you need. Take a note of the OSX partition name you entered on Disk Utillity.
- After that, go ahead as always and start the instalation.
- Go in the kitchen grab some lunch. You deserve it.
 
 
Post installation
 
What we have so far? The system installed on your ultrabook. Now you need to get rid of bootable flash drive installing the bootloader on HDD or SSD.
 
Installing the bootloader in internal HDD or SSD:
 
- Boot again selecting the flash drive on Boot menu. Same you did before.
- Now select the partition you noted early.
- If you do everything wright, the system will start normally.
- Now you will use the CloverEFI install package again (same options from above). This time, the target will be your OS X installed partition.
 
Our adorable ultrabook don't boot EFI if partition on the HDD or SSD if isn't MS-DOS. We will need to format and install Clover again.
 
- Open the Terminal and enter "sudo -s".
- Run the command: "diskutil list".
- Take note of what location is your EFI. Usually it is "rdisk0s1". Make sure it's correct or you loose your data.
- Now, let's format it, now execute: "newfs_msdos -v EFI -F 32 /dev/rdiskXsX". rdiskXsX is your EFI partition location from line above.
 
Now you need to copy all data of your flash card bootloader to the root of your new created EFI partition on internal disk.
This EFI partition is unmounted. Mount with "diskutil mount /dev/rdiskXsX".
 
Just restart without flash drives to test.
 
Others Kexts:
 
Download the kexts from the links below. I strongly recommend always use newest versions. If you are too lazy, I attach on end of the post.
 
Ethernet: ALXEthernet
Sound: VoodooHDA (You may have to select the output there in System Preferences)
Battery: ACPIBatteryManager
Bluetooth: BTFirmwareUploader
Integrated Camera: AnyiSightCam
 
All kexts will be placed inside /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/, mount again this partition (diskutil mount /dev/rdiskXsX) for it.
 
Now we need to add Battery patch to a new DSDT:

Hi,

 

The FN keys perhaps can be fixed by opening the ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext/Contents/Plugins/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext/Contents/Info.plist

			<key>Fn keys Layout</key>
			<string>NONE</string>
			<key>Fn keys Mode</key>
			<integer>2</integer>

To:

			<key>Fn keys Layout</key>
			<string>ASUS</string>
			<key>Fn keys Mode</key>
			<integer>3</integer>

For the brightness keys to work, it could be you have to install the ACPIDebug.kext by RehabMan to find the right EC query and edit the DSDT. 

In my case, in the DSDT the keyboard device is KBD0, Brightness up is _Q1C, brightness down is _Q1D.

 

My DSDT edit to go with the ApplePS2SmartTouchpad: 

               Method (_Q1C, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Qxx: EC Query
                    {
                        Notify (KBD0, 0x10)
                    }

                    Method (_Q1D, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Qxx: EC Query
                    {
                        Notify (KBD0, 0x20)
                    }

This however is on an Acer, needs to be researched on the ASUS like described above.

At first test don't work. I will try again later.

Good guide @Luan, congrats for your work  :)

The performance is good with OS X Yosemite? Post some geekbench results for us  :P

Thanks.

 

I'm developing in Xcode 7 and playing Netflix on second monitor22" in fullscreen. No freezes, no hangs.

 

Follow Geekbench 3 32bit (I'm sorry, free licence):

 

Single-core: 2216

Multo-core: 4478

Link: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/2794074

 

It's good those values?

Installing OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on ASUS Vivobook S400C (also know as S400CA)

 

I have a similar ultrabook-S400CA , installed Niresh Mavericks 10.9 on section 6 (erased Windows recaveru), with Chameleon bootloader to load properly, but when you install Clover bootloader at boot have boo1: /boot and blinks 5 , what do I need to do to boot into Clover? ((sorry for my bad English))

Hi,

 

I'm trying to follow this guide to install yosemite on a S400C.

 

It's my first hakintosh so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

 

The thing is I get stuck at boot just after the message:

AppleLPC::start - Could not find IOPlatformPlugin driver

I'm booting with the default flags and -v -x

 

I've searched for the error and I seem to find it on upgrades not on fresh OS installs.

 

What can I do to get it to boot?

 

thanks!

Were your settings exactly the same as the guide's? Or did you use the guide to install Yosemite and then upgrade to El Capitan?

After trying for a few hours I still can't get the installer to boot for El Capitan :/

 

Could you link me a zip of your Clover EFI folder?

 

Thanks A lot,

Hi Brumas, your link does not longer work.

 

Could you please reaupload?

 

Did you get "El Capitan" to work?

 

Thanks!

"El Capitan" version 10.10.1 I installed almost everything works, except - stopped working the touch screen, and it shows 4gb memory installed 8gb physically. link to efi -https://yadi.sk/d/kctif_Ukk5b2B, ( to reduce the size of some files (themes) have been removed. wifi -Atheros 9285.
