Install Osx On Dell Xps 13

README.md macOS on DELL XPS13 (9350) This project targets at giving the relatively complete functional macOS for XPS13 9350. Before you start, there's a brief introduction of how to finish powering up macOS on your laptop: Before installing macOS Since the original WiFi module is not compatible with macOS, you need to buy a DW1830 module. Then follow this to swap it. MacOS installation • Create a vanilla installation disk (USB or other removable disk).

(Google how to) • Install Clover with UEFI only and UEFI64Drivers to the installation disk just created. • Replace the original CLOVER folder with the one under my Git/XPS9350-macOS/CLOVER. • Change BIOS settings to the following • Disable Secure Boot • Set SATA Operation to AHCI • Boot to USB and hit F4 and/or Fn-F4 to capture ACPI tables to the USB • Install macOS but do not reboot until you have finished steps 7 and 8, below. • Install Clover with UEFI only and UEFI64Drivers to SSD. • Replace the original CLOVER folder on the SSD with the one from the USB drive under my Git/XPS9350-macOS/CLOVER. • Once you finish installation of macOS, you can do the following steps to finish the post installation of macOS How to use deploy.sh? Download the latest version installation package/directory by entering the following command in a terminal window.

I wanted the best hackintosh laptop. Dell XPS 13 which starts from 900$ can go up. A synopsis of the steps I took to get a stable OS X install.

./Deploy.sh -d Note: • VoodooPS2Controller is recommended on macOS Sierra(10. 12+) • AppleSmartTouchPad users(recommend on 10. 11-): for two finger scrolling you need to change the speed of the Scrolling once to get it work and also have to enable them in Trackpad preferences. TODO List This months I have 2 dues and 2 more midterm exams(Only two weeks left for us to struggling two exams in just one subject???), so I will be a bit slower.

OS X Mountain Lion Install Guide Using Retail or Mac App Store Image: PREREQUISITES: Download OS X 10.8.x Mac App Store Image file from known places. You need to have a working OS X. If you don't have a working OS X then use Oracle Virtual Box, create a guest Mac OS X and then install iATKOS ML2 with default customization. Setting up & Installing OS X in Virtual Box: Use latest version of Oracle virtual box, install it and also install latest virtual box extension pack. Open virtual box create a new virtual machine with your desired name and then select Mac OS X in type & in version select Mac OS X (64 bit).

Set ram to 2048 MB 3. Create a new virtual hard drive with VDI extension, dynamically allocated and finally save the 20 GB file to a safe place where you have at least 20 gigs of file space and finally create the new virtual machine. Now select the new just created virtual machine and click on settings, on the left pane select system, now under motherboard tab deselect floppy and move it down the boot order and now the most important step deselect or uncheck the Enable EFi ( Special OSes Only). Now in the left pane select storage, under Controller: IDE click on empty and on the right side in CD/DVD drive click on the CD icon and navigate to iAtkos ML2 dmg file, now click on Controller: SATA, check or select use host I/O cache, press ok.

Now start the virtual machine, wait till welcome screen and from utilities use disk utility and create new MBR partition and format it as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) and then install with default customization, no need to change anything. Wait till installation completes, mostly installation never succeeds and it should result in a kernel panic. Now close the virtual machine window by using the option power off the machine instead of send shutdown signal. Now again start the virtual machine, by default it loads iAtkos DVD, So either hit F8, select the partition and load it or simply deselect or remove iAtkos DVD from settings. Creating Bootable OS X 10.8.x USB From Virtual Machine or Existing OS X: 1. In your working OS X open Disk Utility 2. Click on your USB drive in the left sidebar 3.

Click the Partition tab 4. Under Partition Layout click 1 Partition 5.

Click Options ->select Master Boot Record, then format as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled). Download Rey Mysterio Vs Batista 3gp. Now attach InstallESD.dmg as VirtualCD/DVD to Virtual machine, if dmg file not recognized, then on Windows 7 or 8 use Ultra iso.

Place the dmg file and create an iso file ( no need to convert dmg to iso, just place dmg file inside a new iso file). Then attach the iso file as VirtualCD/DVD to Virtual machine, then copy the InstallESD.dmg file on to the desktop. Open the dmg file, then use show hidden files app and you can find hidden file BaseSystem.dmg, open it. Now go to disk utility and click on Mac OS X Base System, click the Restore tab then drag and drop your USB to destination and click restore.

After restoring, go to /System/Installation. Delete the Packages link then create a new folder and name it as Packages. Now go back to Mac OS X Install ESD and copy everything inside the Packages folder to the Packages folder you have just created in the USB. Finally copy mach_kernel from Mac OS X Install ESD to the root of your USB. Now Copy OSInstall.mpkg from XPS 17 10.8.x Kexts Pack and replace the existing OSInstall.mpkg in your USB ( /System/Installation/Packages/) 14. Now Copy OSInstall from XPS 17 10.8.x Kexts Pack and replace the existing OSInstall in your USB(/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/OSInstall.framework/Versions/A/) 15.

I would very much like to try your guide; I've been trying to get my XPS 'Hackintosh'd' for a couple of months now, but I guess mine is just slightly off. I don't have the 3D screen (much to my chagrin, I didn't find out the difference until after Dell's 21 day return date), and it looks like just about everyone has a 2630qm CPU (mine is 2670QM 2.20 GHz). Do you think I can adjust/edit some of the instructions or files to work with mine? Here are my specs (if I've left something out, please let me know): Dell XPS L702X (Oct.

24 2011): -2nd generation Intel Core i7-2670QM processor 2.20 GHz -8GB,DDR3,2 DIMM (Hynix 2x4GB PC3-10600S) -17.3in FHD WLED AG (1920x1080) -NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 3GB graphics with Optimus -Seagate Momentus 500GB 7.2k HDD -Western Digital Scorpio Black 750GB 7.2k HDD -Integrated 10/100/1000 Network Card -Tray Load Blu-ray Triple Writer (reads and writes CDs, DVDs, BDs) -INTEL6230 Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 and Bluetooth 3.0 (I know this won't work, I have a USB Wi-Fi adapter to use) UPDATE, 6JAN12: I have rolled the BIOS back to A12, will try this again. I would still like to know how to handle the different CPU, I think it's the same class, just faster (2.20GHz). Hey Jszekely, Sorry mate for a late reply i was on a holiday. Well ur processor 2670 QM will not create any problems, u can use my DSDT even though u have an A.14 bios. Just dont use my SSDT (as its highest p-state will be clocking at 2.00ghz, as we have 2630qm with 2.00ghz but u have 2.2ghz, So u have an extra p-state which will be missing in my SSDT). Just follow my guide u can easily install hackintosh on xps 17 l702x as rest of the specs are same.

Well there is no need to backport to A.12 bios. Just copy my DSDT in ur lion partition and lion only picks my DSDT not OEM DSDT. Let me know if u have any problems with the installation. Update: I just forgot to tell something that i added bustratio of the 2630qm processor (which is 20 ) as default in the org.chameleon.boot.plist, just check ur busratio on the intel website and change it accordingly. Here u go just use these edited org.chameleon.Boot.plist and smbios.plist ( for ur Intel 2670 QM Processor) and u can use all my kexts & DSDT ( but dont use my SSDT). : Got it working! I juste deleted all the kexts from the windows side (read closely which ones to delete and which NOT) with macdrive and after installing those from the pack reinstalled chameleon using chameleon wizard.

Now it boots relatively fast and i just have a 1 sec light blue screen before the identification screen! Still there are some strange bugs, like some glitchy artifacts here and there, once the whole screen froze (with exception of the mouse icon, which could be moved freely) and the sound is all but perfect. Mac on a laptop working this great is just impressive! Thanks for the Tutorial! After following your guide on step 7 i have restarted whit out installing cameleon 2.1 And when it boots up after a couple Min on apple logo and spinning wheel all i get is a clean blue-ish screen and nothing happens any idea? Same here (but with the latest chameleon), got it working once (the blue screen passed after 2 secs) and had some artifacts and glitchs on youtube videos., but then tried it like 10 times and nothing but this blue screen:/ i think it's a problem with the AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext, cause when I delete it from windows (with the caches) everything works (in 1024x768 mode) Any help or guidance?

Still a noob. Thanks for the tutorial by the way! @ Neverdie, Deadsmile Make sure u delete kernelcache and also nvidia geforce & fermi kexts. Make sure u delete them otherwise u will have conflicts between video cards.

With nvidia kexts present in s/l/e nvidia card detected in system profiler but its not activated due to the absence of optimus. So i guess blue screen problem mght be isssues from nvidia kexts and kernelcache. Intel hd 3000 QE/CI works only when installed from lion desktop with the help of kextutility.app. So if u cant boot go to windows and move the AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext to safe location, delete the kenelcache, delete all nvidia kexts also intel gma kexts 950 x3100 HD ( dont delete 4 hd 3000, integratedframebuffer, snvb, snba we need this 7 kexts) restart and login to lion, u will be greeted with a 1024x768 screen resolution, now install the AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext with kextutilty.app, after successful completion, just run the kextutility.app again it will fix all kext permissions incase if something gone wrong while installing AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext.

Hope this helps, give it a try. Update: Nice to hear Deadsmile that its working, those artifact problems i think apple still have poor graphics drivers, they need to optimize them. Hopefully in the future updates of lion. Cheers Hi I have a HP DV7 6140 I have a complete DSDT without errors. I want to instal Lion with your method. Will I have a problem with Intel HD 3000 graphic card? Why not give it a try, lets see whether my guide works on hp laptop or not.

Thanks to your guide, kexts, DSDT and help I have finally been able to get Lion installed on my non-3D XPS! I wasn't able to use iAtkos, but have already purchased Lion anyway. I installed using a UniBeastLE USBInstaller I'd created on my desktop Hackintosh, but since trying this my system always either froze or spontaneously rebooted in the middle of it. I'd read somewhere about using 'PCIRoot=0'; since I figured I had nothing to lose I tried it. I didn't need GraphicsEnabler=0, just -v busratio=22 PCIRoot=0. I followed the rest of your guide (with the exception of using Lion Edition to install FakeSMC and utilities).

I also used the Chimera stand-alone installer from TonyMacx86.com. I even have sound now, beautiful! One odd thing: before following your guide I had an external monitor working, now it's not (in the regular install of Lion I configured using your instructions).

I boot back into the Lion installer, and it works again! I used a VoodooBattery.kext, but it's got an X on it, and states there's no battery installed. Of course, I'm grateful to have the functionality I do here, anything else is just gravy. Oh, and sleep/wake seem to be working now, too.
