Welcome to /fht/ - Friendly Hackintosh Thread.
Previous thread (in bumplimit): >>55400269
Ask questions, discuss tips and tricks, discuss your favorite software, and share your experiences.
Users of all skill levels are welcome. Let's keep it civilized and remember to not feed the trolls.
OS X on Apple hardware is also welcome.
What's the actual point? Save money or not to support apple?
>>55452067
to run OS X? Some people prefer it and/or it has some specific software. And yeah, not everyone has money or wants to support Apple.
>hackitosh general
Fuck, why hackintosh?
Why not just make a friendly Apple general instead?
/fag/, nigga
>>55452086
it'd get flooded with iOS users
nice name though :)
>>55452067
in my case i built one partly to save money, but mostly because i needed a fairly specific hardware profile (or rather, a hardware emphasis) that apple wasn't doing.
i have a rMBP and i wanted something to drive 24" 4k panels as an extended desktop. teleport would make those monitors act as an extended desktop, but i needed something that would give me DP 1.2 (or better) and the GPU power to drive it. as an added aside, i kind of wanted something to throw a fuckload of hard drives into.
the mac pro seems able to do 4k at 60Hz, but it'd be like $3k starting. and i'd have to plug in a bunch of external hard drive enclosures.
there are rumors that apple is going to announce a thunderbolt display with some sort of integrated GPU. i have no idea how that'll work (i'm not familiar with any spec that would make that possible, and i have misgivings about the future of any hardware without software support from other operating systems), but in theory that would nullify the 4k rendering need i have (assuming i'm willing to dump my monitors for thunderbolt displays, which i'm not).
>>55452132
if you think it doesn't belong here, then report it. otherwise, stop being a whiney cunt.
>>55452137
thunderbolt 3 natively supports external gpus. so it makes sense if apple makes a 5k thunderbolt display with a strong gpu in it. also opens up gaymen possibilities for macbooks without paying extra 1000 bucks for overheating pile of shit mobile GPUs.
Has anybody gotten a working OS X install in the Intel Skull Canyon NUC yet?
>>55452181
oh i didn't know that. thanks
well that kind of adds another issue; in order to jump on board with the external GPU setup, i'd need to toss my P2415Q and my UP2414Q AND i'd need to toss my rMBP since the 1Gbps Thunderbolt 1 would evidently not support external GPUs.
i can definitely see the future you're describing, and i'm up for it, but i don't want to feel the need to replace my rMBP just for that. the last major thing i needed to do was replace the battery because i was getting tired of having ~70% of the charge it originally had, and if that's the only real shortcoming after ~3 years (and another year later it's going strong still), then i'd really like to keep my laptop and just incrementally upgrade the hackintosh.
that thing has 32GB of RAM, something like 12TB of hard drive space, a good video card that i won't need to upgrade for a while (but i'll be able to if i really want to), so i really like this setup.
i really think it'd be great if apple could get into the idea of pushing a central computer at home that really handles intensive shit like driving 4k-8k displays, storing fuckloads of your content, etc... while you use a relatively "thin client"-ish kind of laptop. i might be okay with the retina Macbook if it was a little less anemic (but that was the issue with the first generation MBA, so maybe the next iteration will be the first viable one).
anyway, i digress. the hackintosh serves as a very minimal server machine but primarily as a desktop extender, which linux and windows would be pretty terrible at for various reasons.
>>55452197
Should be compatible, someone claims that he has it working without BT, WiFi and SDcard
>>55452272
well if that integrated GPU is not replaceable, then those monitors will age badly since the GPU tech moves very fast.
tb3 is backwards compatible but on egpu subject, not sure about tb1 or tb2. because they don't have e-gpu thing in their specification but apple can of course release a driver for them in 10.12. because it would be weird if those monitors required tb3, it's just not logical in business sense if only a rare portion of apple users can use it.
>>55452312
oh my GPU isn't integrated; it's a GTX 970, which is pretty overkill for someone like me (who at most might do some CUDA processing stuff but generally speaking just using it to render desktops). i just needed a card with a few DP 1.2 ports or better and the GTX 970 was coming out with a handful of those ports, making it a pretty natural-seeming choice.
the danger in my mind is apple really cracking down on hackintoshes and the upgrade path ending abruptly. the best alternative to teleport if you need cross-platform support appears to be synergy, but it's not nearly as good. i could switch to a debian system, but the whole illusion would be pretty much ruined.
i'd get a better server but a MUCH worse desktop extension.
>>55452037
Why the fuck would you want a locked down piece of shit OS running on your fucking computer, this is fucking insanity.
>>55452389
for doing actual work with proprietary exclusive software.
>>55452389
>locked down piece of shit
Come back when you know what you're talking about.
>>55452389
a lot of people seem to be extrapolating their experiences with iOS onto OS X. OS X isn't especially locked down unless you either
A) don't know how to use a shell (in which case what options are you really looking at? windows?)
or B) don't have root access (which is not a surprising constraint seeing as most school computers don't give root access to students, and i get the sense that a lot of zealots on this topic are in school.
>>55452389
Locked down? No more than other unix. OS X combines the best of Linux and Windows.
i think that a hackatosh is a great becuse mac os is a great os (not gaming) and apple likes to fucking make u have like mountans of money
>>55452416
>osx isn't locked down
It's getting more and more locked down. Right-click open doesn't open 3rd party software and there's no longer an "Anywhere" option in Gatekeeper.
See changes in Sierra:
http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/15/macos-sierra-gatekeeper-changes/
Now is literally the worst time to get into OSX, you're 10 years too late.
>>55452457
yeah, these are all overridable through the shell, hence all the caveats i made.
>>55452469
OSX already has rootless since El Cap, you're not doing any advanced shit with the OS through the shell.
>>55452502
csrutil disable
>>55452502
And rootless can be disabled.
>>55452502
I think you are talking about system integrity protection.
just type 'csrutil disable' and remove it.
>>55452520
>>55452522
>needing to root a fucking computer like you do with a phone
Jesus fuck Apple, this is just sad.
>>55452539
>waah preconfigured settings
>>55452539
do it while you are installing the OS?
How can I get a copy of OS X without an Apple product?
>>55452588
thepiratebay
kickass torrents
>>55452550
Might as well use Linux.
Not even Windows is this locked down.
>>55452502
also overridable.
if at some point it becomes impossible to override these things, then i'll agree that it's troubling, but gatekeeper and UAC (on the windows side) were so toothless and easily overridden that nobody seemed to use them. disabling them was too trivial a cost.
raise the time commitment required to (roughly) the duration of 1 reboot and suddenly nobody's willing to go through the trouble of disabling SIP. homebrew and all this other shit is sufficiently motivated to move into /usr/local and whatnot.
and, again, it's still possible to disable it - it's just not an option in the GUI anymore. and that's fine if you know how to use a shell (and if you don't, you shouldn't be fucking with that sort of shit anyway, should you?)
>>55452593
>Might as well use Linux
Why would I use Linux when I can do everything I did in Linux and more in OS X?
>Not even Windows is this locked down
You're right, Windows is even worse.
>>55452592
How do I verify they aren't tampered with?
>>55452593
>Not even Windows is this locked down.

What you need to do is download a vmware image from a torrent site and use it to create the USB installer with Unibeast.

Anybody got the RX 480 to work yet?
I don't want to upgrade to Sierra, getting El Cap to work was enough pain in the ass.
>>55453784
lol nope only gpu manufacturer who publishes drivers retroactively is nvidia
>>55453784
You know, something tells me that the 1060 will be supported before the RX 480 is.
God I wish I didn't have to use an AMD GPU with hackintosh. I trade it without losing money, all I'm getting is something inferior on the nvidia side. Like a 960. Fuck the 960.
>>55453489

I have my HD 7850 working perfectly in el Capitan, working with stock kexts. Apple usually add native support for GPUs that are in their actual macs, so we might see support in the next OS X version. Don't know if its possible to back port to older versions though.
>>55452593
You can't create applications for iOS on Linux, do you not understand?
>>55452037
maybe this is the right place to ask, i dunno if this question deserves a thread of its own.
my gf spilled water on my laptop and now it's temporarily fucked (not sure if i should try to fix it or just use it as an excuse to upgrade). she feels bad about it so she gave me her 2009 Macbook to use in the interim. I have all my shit backed up so its not a huge deal, but a thought occurred to me - if i plug in my external, will her computer even be able to run my shit? like if i want to boot up a windows program (word, some game, whatever) will OSX run it? if there is an issue, is there anything i can do to fix it or mitigate it?
any responses appreciated

You have 2 options:

maybe. i don't know, it seems hazardous to try and deal with socially retarded/aspie folk without proper training. who knows if all the autistic kids who've gone shooting up schools and shit were triggered by browsing 4chan the night before. hell, what if one of us has a thread connecting us with *all* of the autistic kids? maybe we said something that got them all assblasted and a day or a week or whatever later they went and shot up a school in some autistic tantrum.

>>55454389
you need to activate hidpi resolution, which typically requires at least 2k monitor. you can force hidpi in every monitor with SwitchResX but when you divide 1920x1080 by 2, you wouldn't get a satisfying screen area. Things would still look very good tho, that font magic is the hidpi mode.
>>55454981
oh right. but i definetley need the custom kernel right? i dont want to sound retarded but does anyone know any good guides for amd.

>>55461905
If it doesn't already, it will soon support it. Nvidia releases separate web drivers for their GPUs so you're doing ok there.
However I would highly recommend using an SSD.
>>55462189
I do, but listing them is unnecessary, because they are are always supported
>>55462254
Oh ok. It's just I never actually tried it on HDD but I heard really awful horror stories.
>>55462189
What is the best tool right now to active TRIM on non-Apple SSDs? I've used TRIM Enabler in the past and another open-source enabler but both eventually went to shit (at least on Yosemite).
>>55462432
Right now it's a terminal command. No extra software.sudo trimforce enable
It will restart after applying it.
>>55462485
It does still need to be rerun after every OS update.

hey /g/ need some help, this shit is running my head in circles.
trying to install hackintosh on an asus with mb version k56ca, model s56ca, but every goddamn guide i run into is either A. Written for people who already have a mac to use to format the loader, B.older versions of mac os, trying to get Yosemite but any guides for the exact device are all older versoins.
What the fuck do I need to do get this thing to work?
Is there a guide not written in "lets pretend everyone doing this isn't pirating it and lets pretend they already have a mac" speak?
I have an "osx for el capitan.raw" already and a few other misc files like win32 disk imager
pls halp
>>55468608
el capitan not yosemite
little tired
>>55468608
you should install mavericks anyways
but whatever, in what cases the guides require you a Mac?
>>55468804
most of the guides on hackintosh.com, i found one guide for the exact model, also required a mac to make the flash drive with two partitions
forgive my ignorance, mavericks?
>>55468820
mavericks is os x 10.9 (older vesrion of)
And you probably could do the same in linux with parted (gparted) and mkfs.hfs
>>55468864
ah, right, that might not be a bad idea for the formatting, my linux laptop is working fine with manjaro installed.
I want to go with el capitan because im going for learning here, not the best mac experience, I am learning this for work so the more I know about the current version of mac the better.
>>55452067
Put simply, it's about having OS X with the flexibility of a custom built PC, and it's a thing mostly because Apple won't make the xMac [mythical prosumer mid-priced tower] that everyone has wanted for ages. If Apple won't make it, then we will.
Apple hasn't taken any significant measures against it even though people have been doing this shit since at least 2008 so they must not care too much about it. Even if they lose out on hardware profits they gain a bunch of people buying apps on the App Store, buying iCloud storage, and increasing the overall demand for applications that run on Macs, so really why would they give hackintoshers a hard time?
I have installed el Capitan successfully and everything is great except for 2 things:
-How do I hide items on the bootloader? I have about 6 items, whereas I only need about 3 to show up in the bootloader os selection list.
-how do you get sleep to work on a hackintosh? I have a gtx 970 w drivers installed. When I put the pc to sleep, the GPU fans keep spinning and all I get is a black screen, causing me to hard reboot. Is this common?
>>55469133
Yes, sleeping problems are very common. As for hiding Clover entries, it's configurable in clover.plist. Read clover wiki or something.
>>55469168
meant to say config.plist, sorry
(it's on EFI partition usually)
Hey guys, im scratching my head here.
Specs:
p55 ASRock Extreme 4
i5-760 Nvidia GTX 470
16 gb ddr3 ram
I set up a El Capitan Install USB from a MBA using unibeast/clover with Legacy boot and nvidia inject.
I can boot the USB just fine, but all I get is the apple logo before it reboots. Ive tried disabling USB3 and vT/d and floppy drives and serial ports and it still just crashes. Theres nothing relatively current I could dig up guide wise. Can anyone shed some light on this? The mobo seemed decently supported
>>55469183
boot with -v mach boot argument, post results before it reboots
>>55469194
Well, I was scrounging through some old posts and got it to boot to the installer, finally. Double checking my drive for stuff I wanna keep and installing soon
>>55469550
Good luck :)
>>55469620
You have already said this one!

HD7xxx series cards should work natively along with R9-280X.
290/290X/390/390X cards also work with some tweaks.
This thread and it's previous incarnations have been the most obnoxious shit on /g/ in a while. People are asking about os x and the replies are always like "just google it retard" and "find it out on your own".
I was interested in trying out os x but you're just as scummy as apple fanatics.
>>55470860
So like other generals?
>>55459932
It's right there on 'releases'.

>let's ignore anything that's helpful and just point out that the thread is shit
>let's go to that linux general afterwards to complain about systemd a little bit more
>>55471730
in fact, being a sysadmin, systemd fucked up a lot of my specific init files on multiple servers when I had to migrate to systemd based distros. So it's not all jolly good.
But after learning to use systemd it's been pretty okayish. As a professional opinion, some things in systemd are stupid.
And poettering is a dick, no way around that fact.
i got the yosemite zone iso, and it works in virtualbox. if i try booting it with my pc it doesn't work. i tried making a bootable usb with gnome-disk-manager and dd on linux, and i tried with win32diskimager and rufus on windows. i have no idea what to do, when i choose the usb stick in my bios nothing happens, except when i use gnome-disks on linux, and i just see an error that warns of a missing file (something related to isolinux, that has nothing to do with the iso i downloaded).
tl;dr how do i make a bootable usb stick for hackintosh?
>>55452037
Running Hackintosh is like running a Piratebay version of windows XP.
>>55472058
except xp works
>>55453511
typical /g/dophile desktop
what a loser
>>55471983
you do it differently
Get a CLEAN osx image for normal Mac, and write it on a usb via BootDiskUtility.exe.
>>55472058
except you use an official OS X install image with a custom bootloader, unless you have no clue what you're doing or have a freaky AMD build.
How can I make my own purely vanilla DMG of OS X installer? I went in and removed AppleCPUPOWERMANAGEMENT or whatever it is from the HFS image inside the DMG, and that allowed the installer to actually boot up and show the installer desktop background, but then it beachballs and sits there indefinitely. What's the next step of security to override?
>>55472358
as always, boot with -v argument and post logs. Or just post logs if you can find them
>>55472175

I'm new to the whole Hackintosh thing.
How do I update from 10.10.5 to the latest version?
Should I just re-install?
>>55473772
Yeah. Reinstall and copy the EFI folder. (make an image of it or something)
>>55473804
meant to say partition, sorry
>>55461232
then add exception in makefile u cunt
What version should I install?
r8
Sometimes I think I should have gone for a regular rMBP 15" instead of this Dell crap
>>55476302
Ok/10
I have to say ultra wide is pretty ok when you want to watch a movie or some stupid shit and do something on the side.
>>55452037
this is like trying to put chrome os on different hardware
literally why would you want this crippleware os to give your computer aids
>>55452037
I have a 2012 Mac Mini, i5, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD with El Capitan and it's excrutiating sloooow. Like opening apps in 10-15 seconds, constant beachballing and practically unusable. Anyone care for an advice? Could it be that 5400 rpm HDD THAT slow? God, I miss my HP EliteBook hackintosh, was ten times better than this crap.
>>55452037
As a Linux user I actually approve this thread. This is technology since you are tinkering with it. Unlike friendly windian thread where half of the posts consist of "El how to download da ebin antiviurs crack XDDD" type of post

This is not a macbook. It's a shitty overheating Dell Latitude e6530, which happens to use the same CPU as the 2013 15" rMBP.
>>55476873
Don't be a nigger and install HWMonitor and the relevant kexts

kek. how is this shit even possible ? FakeSMC is supposed to be almost flawless.
>>55476916
too lazy for this
besides, it may break and i don't want to fix it /right now/
>>55476949
no idea. It's also the same temp on windows though so it's not hackintosh related. Could it be it's actually accurate though?
This might be the wrong thread, but is an eMac 2004 (USB 2.0) worth it? It's 60$.
>>55479722
That's about what I paid for mine, I'd definitely pay it again.
>>55479874

So I finally got osx installed, everything worked after using multibeast to install my audio kext. But I cant get my primary monitor connected by hdmi to work/be detected. Halp. My secondary monitor using dvi works fine, but not the hdmi one.
>>55480058
>implying Apple's paying anyone to shill PowerPC hardware that's older than /g/'s average age
>>55453784
AMD just made a GPU deal with Apple, didnt they?
>>55476589
Yep, the issue is definitely the spinning rust. Apple has been optimizing for booting from an SSD more and more with each release. The last release that prioritized performance when booting from a mechanical HD was probably Snow Leopard (10.6.8). The newest release I'd personally run on spinning rust is 10.9, but third-party developers are dropping support for anything older than 10.10 these days. I'd advise just getting an SSD.
>>55480609
Well... Do you use Nvidia's drivers or stock OS X ones?
>>55452037
does anyone want me to upload the siera public beta.app to my nas
or any other mac os version that's on the app store except lion for some reason.
I just installed 10.10 using clover. No audio (ALC887) and on IORegExp & HDEF showed layout-id as 0000. so i followed toleda's cloverALC guide (DSDT method) and it worked for audio-ID 3. but after reboot it doesn't work. also CPU doesn't turn off after shut down. how to get back my audio?
>>55485532
You can just install kext in kext folder, but you'd have to reinstall them each system upgrade.
>>55485621
which kext? AppleALC.kext? I have not touched AppleHDA.
>>55452067
save money and also learn iOS app development.
>>55485696
AppleALC
https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC/wiki/Installation-and-usage
Remember to uninstall all other audio kexts except stock applehda, and have the layout in DSDT or config.plist (Devices->Audio->Inject->1,2,28)
>>55485829
You've already said this one!
>>55485790
i just did what you said, restarted and audio was working. but i rebooted again and it's not working. and also, when i shutdown/reboot, log says CPU halted... but CPU doesn't actually turn off.
>>55485829
i've said this every time, but you seem not to get it so i'm going to keep trying to get through to you
if you think this thread belongs on /fa/ or some other board than /g/, then report it. if you're too much of a chicken shit coward to report it because you're afraid of getting banned for filing frivolous reports, then stop posting. either way, hide the thread and move on.
these threads never get deleted by the mods. the only effect you're having is bumping the thread and provoking others to bump it again and again to reply to you. if anything, you're keeping the thread alive.
>>55486031
sage exists
>>55486047
sage doesn't work. it never has.
>>55486046
>>>/global/rules/2
>>55486047
Also, shitty posts tend to evoke replies (that's how trolls work), so even if you could (and did) sage a post, 2 more people would follow up and reply, bumping the thread twice more.
so you're saying someone bitching about how they don't like a thread might only end up causing the thread to return to the first page twice instead of 3 times.
>>55486074
then it'd reach bumplimit!
too bad it's a general
>>55486085
even worse, if you shitpost and enough people get tired of you then a mod will come in and ban you. your posts will either be left as is (this is the best case if you want to kill a thread) OR all your posts will be deleted. if they're all deleted, then you've bumped the thread all those times (imagining for the moment that sage works) AND all the times that people replied to you, AND the thread now has all that many more posts before reaching the bump limit.
if one needs an analogy, a thread you don't like is akin to a fire, and posting your disapproval is like trying to blow it out. you're just going to stoke more fire. if you want to kill it, smother it (or in this case, hide it).
the OP should put "/fht/" in the subject next time, but one of the features of general threads is that you can add these shortcodes to your filter list so you never have to see those threads anymore. if you're not using filters and you're posting in generals you don't like, then you don't deserve any respite. you're actually not making any effort to make your life better.
at some point, some people just *want* to be victims.

There is a thing I will never understand.
I make use of Debian, Windows and Hackintosh.
When I come here to talk about anything windows related, sure there will be some people spouting the botnet shit, maybe the more unusual "go back to /v/" but in most cases as long as you don't mention w10 you're fine.
Same with linux, though the subject that seems to piss more people off is poettering.
However there is considerable more hate towards apple, something where any mention could trigger the sensibilities of certain people. Almost as if different ideas are defined as hate speech and think they should be banned or put away. I am noticing a pattern here.
>>55486157
Thanks!
>>55486159
Apple is pretty mainstream and "core culture" and /g/ is a group of hipsters who think they're being counter-culture, so they shit on Apple for having sold out conspicuously around the time that their products started being popular.
It's the same with Thinkpads. Ask in a thinkpad thread when they became shit and the answer will be some harkening back to before they were popular and only supposedly edgy people knew about them.
Same. With. Fucking. Everything.
>>55486011
hmm... Try some DSDT/Clover patches, like
Restart Fix = No
Shutdown Fix
toggling Halt Enabled in Clover settings
List all your Clover kexts, maybe?

I don't know man. With all the hipsters here it looks almost as if I'm one of those middle class kiddie campuses where saying a mean word would cause riots and hunger strikes.

Does anyone here have a magic trackpad and bettertouchtool?
I have a very small list of gestures. I'm wondering if there's anything else.
>>55486217
basically, yeah. /g/ gets triggered by even more trivial shit than SJW faggots do. /g/ might be even worse because at least on other sites if you post your retarded shit and walk away people can later link to it and identify that the crap that person says later might be similarly stupid. here people just have their emotional diarrheal spurts of shitposting, walk away, and nobody has to acknowledge that they were being a retard later on.
the way people here talk you'd think they're desperate to be victimized and persecuted because the alternative would be that they were responsible for their lives all along and they're worthless shits purely because they either didn't work hard or were honest to god born with inferior minds.
>>55486271

Hey there! You seem to be new to 4chan. No problem, friend :) I can help:
If you think a thread should be on another board, just "report" it to the moderating team, like pictured. They'll super promptly take a look at it and deal with it appropriately.
I'm super sorry you had to see something you didn't like on 4chan! :( In the meantime between now and when the mods get to your report, you can hide the thread (or even individual posts) so you don't have to see it anymore.
I hope that was helpful :) Have a great summer on 4channel!
