Dell Xps 8000 Driver For Mac
Hi guys, This is my first post, but I've been avidly reading the forum over the past couple of days after discovering the Unibeast method. Firstly, my thanks goes to everyone who has had input into sorting this method out! I've tried other ways of creating a Hackintosh with no success. I've got a Dell XPS Studio 8000 with the following spec: i7 860 2.80 ghz 0X231R A00 motherboard 6gb DD3 SDRAM NVidia GeForce GT 220 graphics card Integrated 7.1 channel High Definition Audio I managed to get Unibeast to install Mountain Lion on an old 160GB hard drive from a previous Dell computer, and was astonished that it was actually up and running!
Dell Studio XPS Desktop 8000 TSST TS-H653G SATA HH DVD+/RW Firmware A02, Dell Studio XPS Desktop 8000 TSST TS-H353B HH SATA DVDROM Firmware A08.
I had to use PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes (found in another post - thanks!) to boot the Unibeast USB, and have to use the same commands to run the HDD with ML on it. However, I've tried a number of Multibeast configurations to no avail. First I tried Easybeast, and got a bit trigger-happy with drivers I thought I might need, and upon restarting the drive booted to the grey Apple logo screen, but got stuck there. So I wiped the drive and re-installed, then just selected Easybeast with nothing else, but same again - stuck on the grey screen. I restarted in verbose mode and it was getting stuck at a command similar to this (although I don't have the full command.): Kernel extensions in backtrace: org.navi.OemSMBIOS I reinstalled again, and tried Multibeast with 'UserDSDT or DSDT-free installation' thinking that maybe Easybeast wasn't right for my setup, and again it froze at the grey Apple logo. Again I started in verbose, and it was getting stuck at a different command. Again I don't have the specific command, which I realise is unhelpful, but I have now re-installed and am just running the boot sequence via the Unibeast USB and PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes, which works, but isn't an ideal long-term solution.
Any advice on where to go next would be great! Are there any specific kernels I need to change? Do you need me to get a screenshot of where it's getting hung up, and if so, should I run the Easybeast or 'UserDSDT' option to get you the specific freezing point? As you said, you got a little trigger happy.
You can run Multibeast multiple times, so only install one thing at a time and if it works, then install the next item. The OemSMBIOS.kext is a plugin to FakeSMC.
It causes problems for a lot of people. It is located at /System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext/Contents/Plugins/OemSMBIOS.kext. If you install the plugins, before rebooting, go to that location and delete the OemSMBIOS.kext.
Try again and use Easybeast and only Easybeast. Boot it and prove it works.
Then install your next item. I would stay away from the FakeSMC plugins for now. Also, once you install Easybeast, you should no longer need the boot flag GraphicsEnabler=Yes since that is a default boot flag. Thanks for the quick response.
I've just installed Easybeast but can't find the file you're referring to. I've opened the package contents of /System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext, and found the /Contents folder, but inside there I only have the following: info.plist MacOS (folder) Resources (folder) I don't have a Plugins folder. Is that because Easybeast doesn't put it in there? As I said, I previously tried just installing Easybeast with no extra plugins and still got the problem. I'll reboot now, having just installed Easybeast, and see what happens. I'll get a screenshot in verbose if it sticks again.
Hi I've managed to install OSX El Capitan on my Dell XPS 8000 using lots of tutorials and forums on here so I really appreciate the effort everyone has put into making this resource available. 3 main issues with my hackintosh 1.Audio does not work - I've been recommended to try the ALC887 (non legacy or legacy??) audio driver using the recommended post installer - I guess I have to disable SMC to get this to work.
SATA dvd rw and SATA hdd do not appear once in OSX. I need to add an AHCIPort Injector.kext with possible ICH8 dev id to the clover boot loader? But which one?
Is the icloud/facetime/appstore/update download for Sierra log in thing an issue on hackintosh? Everytime I set a generated config.plst file with created details from my system it breaks the clover bootloader so I have given up. I'm happy to assist how I managed to get my Dell XPS 8000 to work as far as I have if anyone needs a hand doing so. Thanks in advanced. Clover r4799 ISO compiled with GCC and minimal config.plist compatible for use in VMWare Workstation.
Tested with unlocked Workstation 15 running OSX 10.9 -10.14 guest in Windows X64 host. Installation 1. Download and unzip 'EFICloverr4799 for VMware.zip'. Mount Clover-v2.4k-4799-X64 by double clicking on it. Mount your VM's EFI System Partition eg in terminal sudo diskutil mount disk0s1 3.
Copy EFI folder from step 1 into the EFI partition 4. Shutdown the VM, add bios.bootDelay = '3000' to your VM's vmx file 5. Reboot your VM, press to access the VMware Boot Manager and add CLOVERX64.efi to the boot menu. Substitute your own unique and valid MLB and ROM variables in the /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist (Rt Variables section) to activate iMessage/Facetime on your VM. Run Vanilla OS X El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave in VMware Workstation on a Windows Host I wanted to make a simple guide on how to create a vanilla OS X El Capitan virtual machine running on a Windows host. The virtual machine should be useful for testing El Capitan and also for creating installers for use on a real machine/hackintosh. There are many guides and videos on the net about running OS X on Windows machines using pre-made VMWare disk images but you can never guarantee what else is in there.
I’ve gathered info for this guide from various threads in the Multibooting and Virtualisation section of this forum eg Workstation 11/12, Player 7/12, Fusion 7/8 and ESXi 6 Mac OS X Unlocker 2 by @Donk How to Install OS X 10.x from Snow Leopard to El Capitan in VMware Workstation 10/12, Player 6/8 or ESXi 5/6 by @MSOK HOW TO: Create a bootable El Capitan ISO for VMware Credit and thanks to @Donk, @Albert Nietsnie and @MSOK for all their hard work in creating and testing the VMware Unlocker program. Requirements Intel PC with four or more CPU cores running Windows 7 X64 or later OS (2 or more cores needed for OS X) 4GB or more RAM (2GB or more will be needed for OS X) Hard Disk with at least 40GB free for Virtual Machine VMware Workstation 12 or later VMware Unlocker 2.0.7 or later Install OS X El Capitan app and Mac or Hack to prepare installation iso?@A'. Vanilla Mavericks and Yosemite The same VM settings for El Capitan will also boot and run vanilla installations of OS X Mavericks and Yosemite. Attached to this post are installer scripts to create bootable Mavericks (CMI.tool) and Yosemite (CYI.tool) ISOs for VirtualBox and VMware. With the respective OS X installer apps in the Applications folder, download and run the installer tools using terminal ie To create a Mavericks ISO on your desktop cd downloads chmod +x CMI.tool./CMI.tool To create a Yosemite ISO on your desktop cd downloads chmod +x CYI.tool./CYI.tool Here is a screenshot of the VM running Mavericks 10.9.5.
Enjoy Update for macOS 10.12 Sierra The above settings still work for macOS Sierra after upgrading to VMware Workstation 12.5 and unlocker 2.0.8 - see post #13. Update for macOS 10.13 High Sierra and 10.14 Mojave See post#30 for macOSisocim.tool script to create ISO for macOS using Apple's createinstallmedia utility. Post#41 describes how to build 'Install macOS.app' on the fly from installer files downloaded beforehand in /SharedSupport folder.
CECI.zip CYI.tool.zip CMI.tool.zip. Run Vanilla OS X El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave in VirtualBox 5.x.x on a Windows Host Following on from my previous guide on how to create a VMware virtual machine running Vanilla OS X El Capitan in Windows, I’ve decided to write a similar guide for creating a VirtualBox El Capitan VM. The virtual machine should be useful for testing El Capitan and also for creating installers for use on a real machine/hackintosh. There are other tutorials and videos on the net about running OS X on Windows machines using pre-made VMDK disk images but you can never guarantee what else is in there.
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 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. Back in terminal, type the following lines, followed by 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.
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 after each line to rebuild the prelinkedkernel. In this example, the El Capitan volume is named 'ElCapitan' - change if you have named it something else. Sudo -s chmod -R 755 /Volumes/ElCapitan/Library/Extensions chown -R 0:0 /Volumes/ElCapitan/Library/Extensions touch /Volumes/ElCapitan/System/Library/Extensions kextcache -u /Volumes/ElCapitan 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). Reboot your system without injected kexts into El Capitan! Other links The All-In-One Guide to Vanilla OS X for beginners 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 BaseSystemPLK.tool.zip into your /Downloads folder. Copy any extra kexts necessary for booting your hack to /Downloads/BaseSystem/ExtraKexts (e.g.
FakeSMC, VoodooPS2Controller), making sure SIP is disabled. 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.
