06/06/18--00:47: Install macOS Sierra 10.12 on Dell Inspiron 3542. Unsuccessful again: installing Mavericks or Sierra or Mountain Lion on Asus laptop. On DELL XPS L502X from App Store and installed CLOVER boot loader and Disabled.

Hi, i have a Dell XPS L502x running OS X Lion 10.7.4 and i got the Dell Wireless 1701 802.11 b/g/n from my brother's Inspiron N5050. I installed Atheros AR5B95 kext using Kext Wizard, repaired permissons, rebuild cache, restart but the kext doesn't seam to load. I also tried the kext for Dell Wireless 1702, but the same, it doesn't get loaded. Do i have to do anything else besides installing the kext?

Editing DSDT.aml or boot.chameleon.? Edit: The same happened on the N5050, the kext wasn't loading.

So im about to buy the 150watt charger and in a few days i will test and see if it works. Ill be using the recommended bios then i will revert to the stock a12 bios to see which one it would work on. Ill be trying stock clocks and hopefully if this works ill try to overclock and will show which ones i tried to do.

Ill be testing it on games like LoL, Planetside 2, Dead Space 3(which crashes ALOT), NFS world, Resident Evil 6, and an old game HomeFront! Does anyone think this might not work because apparently some ppl have said that the computer might just be lacking power thus the crashes or the chargers are either worn out.

If it does work, i wouldnt understand why a mother board replacement sometimes work for a little but it would finally make sense to why undervolting and/or underclocking helps stabilize its performance. FEED BACK PLS!!! @Squirrel61 nope, to just RUN Mavericks (yes, version from AppStore) I needed only DSDT and FakeSMC - without Multibeast.

And yes, I can install updates without any problem (week ago updated to 10.9.1). It's not fully working in that mode. So I'm using kexts: and HDA kext. I need to reinstall this one after update. Without - no sound is detected.

I'm not sure if I'm using lan card kext (just don't remember). These 2 kexts and DSDT, SSDT are available here: Oh! And of course USB3 kext! USB2/eSATA is working well (even BluRay connected by eSATA) but USB3 only after installing kext like And with that configuration, both sleep and SpeedStep are working well.

Not sure about hibernation - didn't tested. Click to expand.Thanks for your explanation. But for some reason, I can't get things working. I'm running into the same problems as about two years ago, when I was trying to install SL or Lion as a Hackintosh on my XPS. To summarize: - When I prepare a USB stick, I have to partition it as MBR type.

When I choose GPT, the stick doesn't boot at all, no matter what I write on it. - When I restore iAtkos ML2 to the stick, I get an 'operating system not found' message at boot time. When I boot the same stick on my other computer, a Dell Latitude D830, it just boots fine (but it freezes probably because of system incompatibilities, haven't checked this out). - When I restore iAtkos ML3U to the stick, I just get a flashing cursor in the top left corner on an otherwise black screen. - UEFI enabled or disabled in the advanced settings (I'm using CapitanKasar's modded bios with unlocked advanced settings and Sleepfix) doesn't make any difference in any of these cases.

- When I use myHack to transfer the App Store version of Mavericks (or another downloaded version as well), the setup boots and shows the Apple logo screen fine. But as soon as it enters the installation program, my screen is totally distorted. Like when you try to operate a FHD panel on a cable that doesn't support it (similar to the pictures in thread). Maybe this is caused by my FHD screen, but booting the installer in safe graphics mode doesn't help (I read somewhere that Apple removed the VESA graphics mode in Mavericks, maybe that's the reason?). That reminds me, I haven't tried the myHacked Mavericks installer on an external screen, maybe I should do this. - In all cases, I removed my SSD and ODD caddy and just installed a single empty HDD in the palmrest. And I tried two different USB sticks and a USB harddisk, all of which are bootable on the XPS when using something else like a Windows installer or Linux live disc. Pdf sonny rollins omnibook.

- I've done all USB stick creation both on a 'real' Hackintosh (My netbook with 10.6.7 installed) and a virtual ML machine on my L502x. What I like to ask you is: - Which BIOS version are you using on your Hackintoshed L502x? - Are there any special BIOS setup settings you made to make it work? Like UEFI enabled/disabled, HPET, C-states etc? - Did you make any special preparations to the USB stick (I assume you used a USB stick for OSX installation)?
