New here, I used to do macs but mainly PCs now. So please excuse my ignorance. Mac stores are closed in Arizona, My friend has a circa 2015 Macbook Pro. On startup, the line goes about halfway and then goes to a spinning icon that goes on and off. I did a disk repair and permissions , but it still does the same. So I tried to reload the OS, it says not found, apparently you cannot download Yosemite anymore. So, the rest of my machines are windows. Where do I get Yosemite and how can I build it on a Windows machine that I can have the Mac start up. Help please.

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 -> Work. i5-3317U @ 1.7Ghz/2.6Ghz. SpeedStep 8 to 26 stages. AsusAICPUPM <true/> in Clover config.plist.
- Video Card -> Work. HD4000. Full QE/CI.
- Chipset -> Work.
- HDMI -> Work.
- VGA -> Not work. I did not have time to fix yet.
- Audio -> Work. Kext VoodooHDA + AppleHDADisabler.
- WiFi -> Work. Replaced by Athero 9285 Wifi/Bluetooth.
- Ethernet -> Work. Kext Experimental Atheros AR81(31/32/51/52/61/62/71/72) Driver for 10.7/10.8.
- Touchpad and keyboard -> Work. Kext ELAN, FocalTech and Synaptics (Smart Touchpad) Driver (Mac OS X).
- FN keyboards keys -> Not work. I did not have time to fix yet.
- Brightness control -> Work. DSDT patch.
- Sleep -> Work.
- Battery -> Work. Kext ACPIBatteryManager by RehabMan and DSDT patch (below).
- Card Reader -> Not tested. I have no adapters.
- Integrated Camera -> Work. Kext AnyiSightCam.
- Bluetooth -> Work. Kext Bluetooth Firmware Uploader and ControllerPowerState change to 1.
- Boot Logo -> 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:
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:
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:

This is a brief guide on how to create a vanilla El Capitan (also same process for Sierra) OS X Installer USB with an updated prelinked kernel containing FakeSMC.
It is tailored for those users who want to understand the “nuts and bolts” of how to create an installer and also to help brush up on their terminal skills (rather than have one made for them with the numerous automated “tools” available or even Apple’s createinstallmedia) :
Specifically, it is also a “Proof of Concept” which shows that installation is possible without even having to rely on boot loader kext injection.
Prerequisites
Existing Yosemite installation (or Mavericks - see post#4 for steps 7,8) “Install OS X El Capitan.app" downloaded to the Applications folder Pacifist FakeSMC.kext - Slice or Kozlek branch Bootloader - Clover or Chameleon 8GB or larger USB drive (16GB recommended), formatted HFS+ (MBR or GUID) named “Installer”
Procedure
1. Boot into Yosemite with the kext-dev-mode=1 boot flag
2. Open OS X terminal and type the following lines, followed by <Enter> after each line.
The image restore and file copying may take a while to complete, and at the end of the process, the Installer volume is renamed to “OS X Base System"....
sudo -s hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg asr restore -source /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg -target /Volumes/Installer -erase -format HFS+ -noprompt -noverify rm /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation/Packages cp -av /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation cp -av /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.chunklist /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System diskutil unmount /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD exit 3. Right click on the “OS X Base System” Volume and click “Get Info”
4. Click on the lock icon and untick “Ignore ownership on this volume”
5. Extract/Copy the El Capitan Kernels folder into /System/Library/ of the USB with Pacifist. NB It is found in the "Essentials.pkg" in /System/Installation/Packages
6. Delete or Rename the original /System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel —> OG.prelinkedkernel
7. Copy FakeSMC.kext and other necessary kexts (e.g. VoodooPS2Controller.kext for laptops) into the /Library/Extensions folder of the installer USB using Finder.
8. Back in terminal, type the following lines, followed by <Enter> after each line to rebuild the prelinkedkernel…..
sudo -s chmod -R 755 /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/Library/Extensions chown -R 0:0 /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/Library/Extensions touch /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Library/Extensions kextcache -u /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System exit Any errors should be noted but the output below is normal e.g.
9. Install your Bootloader targeting the OS X Base System volume
10. Boot your system with the USB without injected kexts into the OS X Installer GUI....
Post Install
The original prelinked kernel in a fresh install of El Capitan will also lack FakeSMC ie it will only be linked to Apple signed kexts. In order to boot into El Capitan the first time around without boot loader kext injection, the PLK needs to be rebuilt for the El Capitan volume like we did for the installer:
1. Boot into Yosemite with the kext-dev-mode=1 boot flag
2. Delete or Rename the original /System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel for the El Capitan volume —> OG.prelinkedkernel
3. Copy FakeSMC.kext and other necessary kexts (e.g. VoodooPS2Controller.kext for laptops) into the /Library/Extensions folder of El Capitan using Finder
4. Back in terminal, type the following lines, followed by <Enter> after each line to rebuild the prelinkedkernel. In this example, the El Capitan volume is named "El_Capitan" - change if you have named it something else...
sudo -s chmod -R 755 /Volumes/El_Capitan/Library/Extensions chown -R 0:0 /Volumes/El_Capitan/Library/Extensions touch /Volumes/El_Capitan/System/Library/Extensions kextcache -u /Volumes/El_Capitan exit 5. Install your Bootloader targeting the El Capitan volume. This step is only necessary if you are installing El Capitan on a new drive without existing boot loader (not required if installing on a disk with existing boot loader beside Yosemite).
6. Reboot your system without injected kexts into El Capitan!

Updates for Sierra and High Sierra Custom Prelinkedkernel Generator Tool I have made a custom prelinkedkernel generator "PLK.tool" for Sierra + El Capitan. Instructions: 1. Download and extract the attached BaseSystem_PLK.tool.zip into your ~/Downloads folder. 2. Copy any extra kexts necessary for booting your hack to ~/Downloads/BaseSystem/ExtraKexts (e.g. FakeSMC, VoodooPS2Controller), making sure SIP is disabled. 3. Copy BaseSystem.dmg to ~/Downloads/BaseSystem 4. Open terminal and run the following commands... cd ~/Downloads/BaseSystem chmod +x PLK.tool ./PLK.tool ---> supply your admin password ---> will place your new custom prelinkedkernel on the desktop. macOS High Sierra bypass Firmware and MBR checks in post#13.

Hi to all!
I've installed Yosemite on:
- i5 4690
- ASRock H87M Pro4 (with intel ethernet I219-V) (IntelMausiEthernet, AppleIntelE1000 and RehabMan for I219V kexts)
- 8gb ddr3 RAM
- 1tb hard disk
If I disable I219-V from BIOS, when I shutdown it, don't reboots (tested with all kexts)
If I enable I219-V from BIOS, when I shutdown it, the system reboots.
How can I fix this? Thanks!
