Hackintosh without a Mac

I read online it's possible but difficult but I couldn't find a guide. I need OS X for iOS development as it something easy to get into that could get me an audience as a programmer. Thanks!

There are multiple guides on how to do it online. The hardest part is to get a hold on an .iso of OSX. Just a few days ago, someone mentioned that there is a youtube video with a download link in the description, can't remeber the channel tho. But a Google and Youtube search for "Hackintosh tutorial" should bring you a long way ;)

Keep in mind these are hacked installs of OSX and may contain nasties. (ie adware, password stealers, etc) 

idk

Download preinstalled virtual image, open it in virtualbox or vm ware, from that download official MAC OS X El capitan 10.11.5 latest OS and make bootable USB. Read the guides for installing hackintosh on your PC and install from that drive.

That's what i did on my laptop. When update comes i make newer USB bootable drive then install update to newest system so if anything goes wrong i can fresh install :)

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

This channel is legit.....

This might be true, but in fact this method isn't. There are only two ways to legally get and use a copy of OS X:

  1. Owning original Apple Mac Hardware that already contains OS X. With the Mac you can download the latest version of OS X from the AppStore and use two copies of it within a VM
  2. Bying an OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Retail DVD from the Apple Store (19$), which is also a license of OS X an can be used to install a copy to physical hardware (outside the European Union just Apple hardware) and again up to 2 VMs. After installing you can make a free upgrade to the latest version of OS X

It is definitely NOT LEGAL to share copies of OS X, not even for "educational purposes" of a Youtube video...

@Clanscorpia

There are many legit forums out there like insanelymac.com, where people will give advice for your system and you can learn a lot about building your own system. Are you talking about your Skylake Build? It won't be easy as the Skylake support of OS X currently is quite limited, but it should be doable Skylake support should improve in the next months when Apple releases their new hardware.

 

@Slick

A seperate Forum in the OS area would be great for discussions like this and to give legit support to Hackintosh newbies. I'm quite experienced and would like to give support also to people in this forum.

The Skylake problems are getting me like you said. I got OS X on my USB but the problem with 170 boards disconnecting stuff is huge. And being new to Clover I dont know how to edit stuff. OS X will show the Apple logo but the moment the progress bar goes n the screen it stops moving and all my USB devices go off.

In the Clover Bootscreen please press spacebar on your USB, then select verbose mode. this boots OS X with hidden logo, showing more information on what's going on. you probably won't have any idea on what's happening, but the text will get stuck somewhere - this is where the progress bar would stop moving. Please post a screenshot here to let me see what the issue might be.

What OS X version are you using? How did you create the bootable USB? Do you have access to a real Mac?

I'm using El Capitan. I created the USB using UniBeast. I'm using a VM running on VMplayer

Ok. UniBeast is by far not the cleanest solution. To make sure, that the data on USB is not a problem please create it again. Have you downloaded El Capitan from the AppStore on your VM? It should be visible as Install OS X El Capitan in /Applications/

Alright. Please format your USB (8GB+) again as HFS+/GUID with a name like "USB". Then open Terminal and run: 

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app

Just make sure /Volumes/USB matches the name of the partition. Then simply follow the instructions and wait. This should take 10-20min
