This is a follow up of my older tutorial for the Samsung XE700T1C Smart PC. Here's an easier, and more refined version of that tutorial:
Part 1 - Functionality
Before installing, you might wanna know what works, and what doesn't, right? So, here's a list of what works and doesn't!
Works
- Accelerated Graphics
- Mouse & Touchpad (No scroll...)
- Sound and correct Fn-keys
- Brightness and correct Fn-keys, as well as the ones at the side O.O
- Touch & Stylus
- Shutdown, Reboot, Sleep, Hibernation
- SD-Card reader
- Webcams
- Battery
- Home Button
- WiFi1
Doesn't Work
- Bluetooth
- Mouse scroll
- Microphone2
- iMessage & Facetime3
- SIM-Card reader
Part 2 - Requirements
- A Mac / Hackintosh
- Mac OS X Yosemite
- A USB that has enough storage for Yosemite
- Vietnam Tool
- Clover Configurator
- XE700T1C Files
Part 3 - Install Mac OS X & Clover on USB
- Step 1:1: Open Disk Utility
- Step 1:2: Select Partition
- Step 1:3: Under "Partition Layout" select "1 Partition"
- Step 1:4: Name it "USB" for convenience
- Step 1:5: Under "Format", select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
- Step 1:6: Press "Options" at the bottom, and make sure "GUID Partition Table" is selected
- Step 1:7: Press "Apply" and confirm any dialogs
- Step 1:8: Make sure you have "Install Mac OS X Yosemite" in your Applications folder
- Step 1:9: Run this command from the Terminal:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --no interaction
- Step 1:10: Enter your password (it will be hidden), and press enter.
- Step 1:11: Download clover
Step 1:12: Run the installer, however, change installation path to your USB (now renamed) and in "Customise", select these:
Install Clover for UEFI booting only
Themes V
Bootcamp
Drivers64UEFI V
DataHubDxe-64 EmuVariableUefi-64 OsxAptioFixDrv-64
Install RC scripts on target volume
Step 1:13: Finish the installer
Part 4 - Configuring the USB for the XE700T1C
- Step 2:1: Open Clover Configurator
- Step 2:2: Under "TOOLS", select "Mount EFI"
- Step 2:3: Press Mount EFI Partition, and select your USB. Proceed with entering your password
- Step 2:4: In Finder, copy the file "config.plist" from XE700T1C/EFI/Config/ to the EFI partition at the path: EFI/CLOVER/config.plist replacing the old one
- Step 2:5: Copy all the files in the folder XE700T1C/EFI/Kexts to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/
Part 5 - Installing Mac OS X on the XE700T1C
- Step 3:1: Put the USB in one of the USB ports (I used the top one)
- Step 3:2: Boot the computer while pressing F10
- Step 3:3: At the menu, select "UEFI: -YOUR_USB_NAME-
- Step 3:4: Boot into the installer and install OS X
- Step 3:5: When the installer is done, boot into Mac OS X
- Step 3:6: You'll quickly realise, that the mouse and keyboard disconnects and reconnects randomly. To fix this we need to remove the bluetooth kexts
- Step 3:7: Boot into safe mode (on the boot menu, select "Options" and in boot flags, add "-s")
- Step 3.8: When you made it to the bash, do these commands:
mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mkdir bluetooth
move Bluetooth bluetooth/
kextcache -prelinked-kernel
reboot
- Step 3.9: Repeat 3:1-3:3
- Step 3.10: Instead of selecting "Install Mac OS X Yosemite", select your mac hard drive
- Step 3.11: Repeat 1.12-1.13, however, instead of selecting your USB, select your hard drive.
- Step 3.12: Reboot again without the USB.
- Step 3.13: If it boots fine, continue with Part 6 - Optimising Mac OS X
- Step 3.14: If you get a message that no bootable device is found, repeat 3:1-3:3
- Step 3.15: Don't boot into anything, but select "Clover Boot Options", and select "Add Clover as a boot option" (there's usually 2, repeat for both of them)
- Step 3.16: Reboot without the USB
Part 6 - Optimising Mac OS X
Step 4.1: Run Vietnam Tool, and select these options:
Kexts Graphics ACPIBacklight Sound VoodooHDA Trackpad and Keyboard Generic Touchpad Drive Trim Support USB 3.0 GenericUSBXHCI Tools Kext Wizard
Step 4.2: Reboot
Step 4.3: Repeat 3:7-3:8
Step 4.4: Reboot into mac again.
Step 4.5: Sound, volume buttons, brightness (?) should work now
Step 4.6: In Kext Wizard, go over to the "Installation" tab, and drag all the files from XE700T1C/Kexts/ into the list and press "Install"
Step 4.7: When finished, go to the "Maintenance" tab and select "System/Library/Extensions" and hit Execute
Step 4.8: Repeat 2:2-2:3, but select your drive instead of the USB (should be the only one listed)
Step 4.9: Copy all files from XE700T1C/DSDT/ into EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
Step 4.10: Reboot
Step 4.11: Repeat 3:7-3:8
Step 4.12: Battery, Brightness control, Appstore, iCloud should work, everything else should have worked from the beginning
Step 4:13: Enjoy your mac!
Part 7 - A note about touch...
As you may have noticed, touch is working out of the box for some reason, however, it is simple touch, no multitouch. To make use of multitouch on Mac OS X, use touch-base, and even though it is quite expensive, it is definitely worth it!
Part 8 - Notes
1: WiFi only works if it's switched with a WiFi card that works with Mac OS X
2: The microphone could possibly work if AppleHDA is used instead of VoodooHDA, I'm just to lazy to use it :P
3: I don't think anyone got it working at this point due to Apple changing their way their servers work all the time... more information here
