Now What? (Hackintosh)

[TheNinjaNextDor]

Hi! I know, I know, I have been making a bunch of threads on this, but they keep dying.

 

I finally got My Hack to work and give me everything I need on my USB, but can't find the motherboard dmg for my motherboard. Do I need this?

 

What do I do now? I am dual booting, so should I just unplug my other drives and yolo OS X onto the empty one?

 

Thanks.

With the modern Gigabyte Z77 and up UEFI motherboards you normally don't need an DSDT for it. Just install the kexts for your hardware using multibeast once you have it booting directly to OS X without a bootstick.

Should I just follow the rest of Linus's tutorial without the DMG and get that later? (or Unibeast)

So basically just unplug my other drives, install OS X per the tutorial, then get multibeast and a bootloader?

This would surely work. It's not a bad way.

Alright then! I will install OS X like the tutorial says and get back to you!

[MrYuriy]

Yeah, just follow it through. You'll be okay.

 

But, good luck anyways!

Complete the installation on your drive using your bootstick. Then boot into your fresh installation, install your bootloader so it can boot on its own and then install kexts. Restart. You should be golden...in theory anyways. Things don't always go according to plan. So I wish you luck!

It's stuck here:

[Sundanc3]

What step are you on exactly, and what tools did you use.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

What step are you on exactly

I just entered:

 

-v ncpi=0x2000 GraphicsEnabler=No and hit enter.

 

I just used the USB as a boot drive and followed the steps. Should I just restart the process?

[Sundanc3]

I just entered:

 

-v ncpi=0x2000 GraphicsEnabler=No and hit enter.

okay so have you finished the installation and now you are trying to boot into your installation? correct? Also, I highly recommend using the Unibeast and Multibeast solution, and NOT what Linus' video detailed. I have never heard of those tools before and I have been on the Hackintosh scene for over 2 years.

I have not installed, this is before that step.

 

How would I do that?

[TheNinjaNextDor]

Oh. I restarted and this happened:

[Sundanc3]

I have not installed.

go to http://www.tonymacx86.com make an account and download Unibeast first. It allows you to make a bootable USB drive that you can do your install from. Download multibeast to install your bootloader and kexts after you completed the installation.This is a very easy to follow guide and it will get you up and running very quickly  http://www.tonymacx86.com/374-unibeast-install-os-x-mavericks-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html

 

I'm going to assume you are using the hardware in you sig. It looks like it should be no problem at all to get a hack running on it. It's always worth a search on the forum over there because there's tons of builds with that board you have and if there are any issues with it they have a solution on those forums.

So I should completely erase my USB and do that method?

 

I just downloaded both programs.

Personally, I would. I just know that this method will absolutely work for you, and if you have any problems with the process or stability issues the resources are available to you in that forum.

Alrighty!

 

I will try it and get back to you with question etc

Good Luck 

Just follow the guide I linked, with your hardware it should be an exact step:by:step solution. 

 

With the 7xx series graphics cards they should work natively so you shouldn't need any special kext for graphics. Just pick what the guide shows and go from there.

It worked

Thank you so much!!

Now what do I install to be able to choose what OS I boot into?

You don't need to install anything. Just make sure the drive with OS X on it is first in your boot priority and when the boot loader (chimera or chameleon) is loading OS X you can press any key to get options to which OS you would like to boot into such as your Windows drive. ( I assume you installed OS X on a separate drive and not a partition on your windows drive) this can cause issues. http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html

I'll make the changes and get back to you

I got it here:

But Windows does this and OS X is fine:

[Sundanc3]

 

Was your windows drive ever touched by any OSX files or the OS X bootloader? 

[TheNinjaNextDor]

Nope. I downloaded and installed everything on one drive and then plugged in the Windows drive, configured the BIOS, and that happened.
