I use Makbook Pro 11,1 2013 late info. ================================ ISSUES : ================================ 1) Different Mac OS behaviour at boot time and work time with the BIOS option CSM=enabled/CSM=disabled: For example, - when CSM=disabled Mac OS boots normally with Built-on LCD + DP/HDMI plugged monitor (both monitors work well during boot and after boot), but I can't unplug built-on LCD and plug it again, glitches appears on built-on LCD, helps only reboot; - when CSM=enabled Mac OS boots only with one plugged monitor(only built-on LCD or only DP/HDMI monitor), the second monitor can be plugged after OS fully loaded and both monitors work well. And I can plug and unplug built-on LCD at any time, it works well without glitches. 2) CPU turboboost only to 2,3Ghz although it should be up to 2.6Ghz; 3) USB ports work incorrect after sleep mode (usb-flashs shout be replugged); 4) The built-in notebook microphone stops working when I insert the headphones with a built-in microphone (Both microphones don't work. OS X recognizes headphone's microphone as line-in). 5) I can't get to work AppleBlackLight.kext (There isn't brightness slider in SysPref -> monitor panel); 6) There isn't "Touchpad panel" in SysPref when I use ApplePS2SmartTouchpad.kext (I can't use VoodooPS2Controller.kext as touchpad has mad cursor motion with it), but SysPref -> Touchpad panel appears with it. - Use AsusNBFnKeys.kext (It makes all Fn keys working - enable/disable touchpad, enable/disable bluetooth, switch to Android tablet and other) carefully because some issues appear with brightness control. For the present moment I don't use the AsusNBFnKeys.kext. Clover doesn’t see any ext4 Volumes in Hard drive (Done, copy VBoxExt4-64.efi in /CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/). ================================ Links: ================================ Bios 216 - https://www.asus.com/ru/support/Download/3/587/0/1/afd86D69CMWsUhle/32/; Create Clover USB OS X installer with BootDiskUtility.exe - https://applelife.ru/threads/mac-osx-i-clover-iz-windows-izgotovlenie-zagruzochnoj-flehshki.37189/; Clover install options - https://ddr5.ru/ustanovka-i-nastroyka-zagruzchika-clover-na/; Guide: MultiBooting UEFI.

00diabolic Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thank You for posting this guide. I own a TX201LA and might give OSX a try on it now that you have completed this very through install guide. AWESOME WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I wonder if you are aware of the TX201LAF model. It recived an update to android 4.4 over 4.2 for the US model. Asus has it on there site here: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/TX201LAF/HelpDesk_BIOS/ The problem is trying to mod the model to accept this update to android 4.4. I know now it may not seem like much of an update for 4.2 but it really is. 4.4 is as fast as 5.0 as for speed. It does not have all of the 5.0 features but it has most of them. I have tried to update the firmware to 4.4 using the LAF model info but need help. Are you interested in getting this done? Also I should add that the TX201LA has the exact same CPU & ram as the Asus zenphone 5, which has updates to android 6. So theoretically there should be able to mod that firmware to run on the tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
