Codinger Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Installation Guide : Hey there and welcome to the ultimate guide how to install El Capitan (10.11) on the ASUS Z87-PRO MoBo.NO ONE IN THIS FORUM (INCLUDING ME) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS (DATA, MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT…) OCCURRED TO YOU, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE, AND BY FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS YOU AGREE TO TAKE ALL THE RISKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THIS INSTALLATION ISN'T WITHOUT RISKS SO TAKE ALL THE PRECAUTIONS BEFORE DOING ANY FOOLISH ACTION, BACKUP YOUR DATA! AND FEED YOUR CAT!Photos here are only examples, use your brain! First of all you should know the basics of hackintoshing. (GIYF) You will need a working Mac / Hackintosh (running 10.6.8+) to prepare the installation media and a 8GB+ USB drive. Download all needed resources for the work. Clover : http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/ Kext Utility : http://cvad-mac.narod.ru/index/0-4 (You may need this one) Z87_Pro Files : https://www.dropbox.com/s/15b3fck1rwx3epn/Z87_PRO.zip?dl=0 El Capitan Update from AppStore (If you don't have a Mac running 10.6.8+ search the internet for a solution) Prepare the Vanilla USB Make sure that your El Capitan Install program is at /Applications Format your target USB device using Disk Utility and name it "Install" Use the script below to "copy" the Installer over to your USB sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Install --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app --nointeraction Format your USB's EFI partition to FAT32 using the code below (Remember to replace "x" by your device's digit) sudo newfs_msdos -v EFI -F 32 /dev/rdiskXs1 Now open up the Clover Installer and set it up like this (Keep in mind that you have to select your USB as installation directory) After that extract the downloaded zip called "Z87_PRO.zip" and move the "config.plist" to the "/EFI/CLOVER/" directory of your USB Now move the files with "*.kext" as filetype to the "/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11" directory of your USB Set up your BIOS settings. Set all to default (if you are an advanced user or you have OC'ed your System skip this step) Set the Secure Boot option to Other OS Change the HDD mode to AHCI Save & Quit Boot up your USB drive Plug in your USB drive and power on your PC Press "F8" and select the USB drive in UEFI Mode When you see the Clover installation screen select your USB drive and hit the enter key to proceed (If boot hangs try to find out more (-v)) Press "Enter" and wait till you get into the installer (If you are stuck at something eg. PCIRootUDI=1 make a photo and post it here) Follow the Instructions till you get into the select install drive windows Than open up Disk Utility and select your HDD Select the Erase tab and select your the HDD's name eg. Mac HDD and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Press erase button ,wich is located right corner of the window, and close the program Select your HDD and click install. After your PC has rebooted boot the Install USB again, because OSX has a bug that it does a "pseudoinstall" first The installation should start automatically and wait till it ends Boot up your El Capitan install and fix it up Plug in your USB drive and select your HDD instead of the installer and type the boot flags from above and hit "Enter" If it boots : You can call yourself a happy person Config your Hackintosh and install Clover to your HDD / SSD using the steps op part 2 Reboot your system and have fun Don't forget to give me a thumbs up What's Working: Ethernet All other What's partly working: Bluetooth What's not working: Wifi (Atheros) What's not tested: Intel HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
