FCU4ever Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) I’ve succesfull installed Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 on my Asus G73sw. Specifications: - Intel 2630QM-I7 / HM65 - Nvidia Geforce GTX460m So what is needed to install Sierra on a Asus G73sw? 1) Install Clover with Mac OS Sierra on a bootable USB 2) Copy FakeSMC.kext , USBInjectAll.kext and VoodooPS2Controller to USB\EFI\CLOVER\kexts\Other\ folder 3) Copy HFSPlus-64 , CsmVideoDxe-64 (needed full resolution in Clover) and OsxAptioFixDrv-64 to USB\EFI\CLOVER\drivers64UEFI\ folder 4) Install Mac OS Sierra After the installation you reach the desktop. FIRST install Clover with the following settings: - Installation for UEFI motherboards - Install Clover in the ESP - Drivers64UEFI -> OsxAptioFixDrv-64 - Drivers64UEFI -> CsmVideoDxe-64 - Install RC scripts on targetvolume - Install Clover preference panel Copy HFSPlus-64 to EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ folder After that, install the following kexts with your favorite kext installer: - FakeSMC.kext -> Always needed - VoodooPS2Controller -> Needed to use your keyboard - USBInjectAll -> Needed to use USB2.0 ports - ACPIBatteryManager -> Shows batterystatus - AsusNBFnKeys -> Needed to use FN keys - AppleALC + Lilu -> Needed to get audio working - RealtekRTL8111 -> Needed to get LAN working (can’t test, LAN card defect) As last, copy the DSDT (many thanks to MaLd0n for creating the DSDT file) file to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/PATCHED/ Reboot and see what is working: - Nvidia Geforce GTX460m -> Config.plist - Wifi -> DSDT - Audio -> DSDT + AppleALC + Lilu - USB2.0 -> USBInjectall - Batterypercentage -> DSDT - Asus FN keys -> AsusNBFnKeys And what is not working: - USB3.0 (Fresco Logic xHCI(USB3)) - Keyboard backlight - Brightness FN key - Cardreader - Bluetooth As last, I’m unable to generate a SSDT with ssdtPRGen.sh from Piker-Alpha. I’ve got the following error (see attached picture): The MacBookPro10,1 SMBios has an board-ID that is not compatible with my Sandy Bridge laptop. So I tried a few things: - Change the SMBios to MacBookPro8,2 Reboot -> Black screen - Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and add the below to KextToPatch com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy BA050000 00 BA000000 00 Prevent AGDP from loading Reboot -> Apple bar won’t load - Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and changed productname to iMac13,2 Reboot -> Apple bar load but get a blackscreen - Changed the SMBIOS to MacBookPro8,2 and changed productname to iMac13,2 and add the below to KextToPatch com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy BA050000 00 BA000000 00 Prevent AGDP from loading Reboot -> laptop boots good With the MacBookPro8,2 SMBIOS and the changed productname I’m still unable to generate an SSDT. So, can someone help me to: - Generate a correct SSDT - Get USB3.0 working - Get Keyboard backlight working - Get Brightness FN key working - Get Cardreader working - Get Bluetooth working USB files.zip After installation files.zip Edited October 5, 2018 by FCU4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
