Note: An internal drive can be used as well but keep in mind any drive you use will have the chameleon bootloader installed on it – it is best to use a drive which is physically independent of your actual OS X installation. In the event that something goes horribly wrong with your actual OS X installation the my.

Hack OS X install disk you have prepared will prove to be an invaluable tool with which you can repair your OS X installation and get it working again. Hardware Requirements: A system capable of running a “vanilla” OS X kernel.

2. Libre FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, S3, Azure and OpenStack Swift browser for Mac and Windows. Available for Linux too.
3. Section 3: Software Updates. Generally speaking with vanilla OS X installs you can use software update without much concern. The updates you should avoid to install.

Core i. 3 processors are only supported by the vanilla kernel on OS X 1. LGA2. 01. 1 chipsets with “Sandy Bridge- E” processors are only supported by the vanilla kernel on OS X 1. The 5xx and 6xx series has only begun to really work properly with in OS X 1.

Mountain Lion. 6xx and 7xx work the best in OS X 1. Mavericks, no Graphics. Enabler is required and you will benefit from the OGL improvements apple has made to Mavericks.

The further back you go in OS X versions, the fewer of the cards I listed will work.*. The 6. 9xx series ATI graphics cards appear to be working on ML, but they did not work on Snow Leopard or Lion. Mavericks.*. Note: HD4. OS X 1. 0. 8+  and HD3. OS X 1. 0. 7+. If your graphics does NOT work out of the box or with chameleon’s Graphics.

Hack 3+). Some other users are not so lucky and will need to resort to other solutions. Section 1: Installation. Step 1 – Create OS X 1. Installer. Make sure that the internal/external stick/drive that you will be creating the OS X installer on is mounted and it has an empty HFS+ formatted partition of at least 8. GB in size on it. You can partition and format it using Disk Utility, under Applications/Utilities.

The partition scheme may be either “GUID Partition Table” (GPT) or “Master Boot Record” (MBR). If you are creating a Snow Leopard installer make sure that you have inserted the retail DVD or mounted the dmg image of it prior to proceeding. If you are creating a Lion or Mountain Lion installer make sure that you have downloaded the Install OS X (Mountain) Lion.

Install. ESD. dmg from it, somewhere on your filesystem. If you haven’t already done so, download the my.

Hack dmg (the link is above in the basic requirements section). Mount it and drag the my. Hack app to Applications to install it or double click to run from the dmg itself. Run the my. Hack. Hack will ask you to enter your administrative password, enter your password and proceed to the next step, the password will only be stored in your system memory it is not recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

Note: if the user account you are running my. Hack on does not have authorization to use “sudo” you will need to logout and run again from an authorized administrative account with access to the “sudo” command. Select your install type –  Create OS X Installer > Create OS X 1.

Install Disk, Create OS X 1. Install Disk, or Create OS X 1. Install Disk for Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard respectively.

Select the target volume – this should be the internal/external stick/drive that you will be creating the OS X installer on. Hack will now attempt to locate the installation source.

If this is for a Snow Leopard installer it will look under /Volumes/ for a Snow Leopard install DVD or mounted dmg – if this is for a Mountain Lion or a Lion Installer it will prompt you if you want to have my. Hack attempt to locate it for you or browse manually (I suggest using browse only if search does not locate it) – if you choose to browse it will accept the location of Install OS X (Mountain) Lion.

Install. ESD. dmg. Hack will then prompt you to warn you that all data on the target you selected will be erased. Once you press ok it will ERASE all data on the target volume you selected and copy the OS X installation files to it.

Note: If the file copy progress appears to be stalled, don’t worry, the progress bar can only calculate based on files completely transferred – large files may take a while to completely transfer to the destination prior to the progress being reported. Also if it appears to be transferring slowly, remember that the speed of transfers will be limited only by the speed of the device – some USB sticks and SD cards are very slow. After all files have been transferred it will automatically install Chameleon, my. Hack utilities, a Generic Extra, and make all necessary modifications to the installer. That is it, assuming you followed the steps correctly (the app is rather foolproof, assuming you have read and followed these simple instructions) you may now reboot, select the device that contains the my.

Hack OS X Install Disk at your bios boot prompt, and boot to your installer! Wasn’t that easy? Step 2 – BIOS Setup.

This is just a quick/general checklist, if you can not find these values in your bios ignore them for the time being unless you run into a problem: Ensure you have your SATA controllers in AHCI mode. Ensure you have enabled your CPU’s C states. Ensure you have HPET set to 6. Disable any devices you do not intend to use (extra SATA, Firewire, etc). If you have a UEFI system, ensure that you boot in legacy (bios boot) mode. Step 3 – OS X Installation.

Assuming everything is configured properly for your system you should be able to boot to your USB device and be greeted by the OS X installer. This part is just like any typical OS X Installation, click on the language you want to use, go to the utilities menu, open disk utility, partition and/or erase the device you want to install OS X on, exit disk utility and then proceed with the OS X installation. Note: If you can not select your drives or you see nothing but the USB drive, go into your bios and ensure that your SATA device is running in AHCI mode. Alternatively you can try to install an IOATAFamily. SATA (and even some PATA) devices without the need for AHCI but it is not recommended.

In the last two minutes or so of the OS X installation a series of growl- like notifications and dialogs will prompt you. This is my. Hack running it’s post installation functions. Hack will prompt you if you would like to install the generic Extra & Extensions bundled with my.

Hack or if you would like to supply your own. Using your own is particularly useful if you already have a finely tuned OS X installation – you can simply provide the Extra of your choosing and it will migrate it properly for you. The generic bundle will boot most vanilla systems perfectly, but does NOT contain any extensions for audio/ethernet/acpi/ata/etc or dangerous DSDT “auto patchers”. After installation completes you should be ready to reboot your system without using the my. Hack OS X Install Disk. Reboot the system with the internal drive that you just installed OS X on.

Congratulations, If all went well you now have a functional OS X operating system running on your system! Step 4 – First Boot.
