Hello all!
Yosemite Zone is a distribution of OSX used for Hackintosh OSX86 machines. I have decided to make a progressive tutorial on how to install OSX on the ASUS X200MA-KX292H. This may work on machines with similar specifications.
Make sure you back up your files! I will not be held responsible for things going wrong with your machine.
Note - the specs of this laptop are:
- Intel Celeron N2830 Dual Core @ 2.16GHz (2.4GHz turbo)
- 4GB DDR3-1333 RAM
- 120GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD (usually 500GB WD Blue)
- Intel HD Graphics
- 11.6" Screen 1366x768 res
- Atheros AR946X Wi-Fi 'n' (not sure what Bluetooth 4.0 chip is in there, but it doesn't really matter to me)
- 1x USB 3.0, 2x USB2.0, Ethernet, VGA, SD Card, Headphone, Kensington Lock, Webcam, HDMI
Another note: I am not entirely sure how this will perform on a weak laptop like this. From my experience, OSX performs terribly with 4GB RAM and a mechanical hard drive. The RAM on this machine is non-upgradable, which is a shame. I will post how it goes, maybe the SSD might alleviate the problem. It also went terribly when I did have an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 which is a more powerful chip than what I have right now. I will post updates on how it goes. Just hope for the best :) Otherwise I will create a tutorial on how to get OSX 10.9.5 on this because maybe it'll be a tad faster.
Setting up the USB drive:
- On your Windows PC, download TransMac from http://www.acutesystems.com/scrtm.htm and install it like you would with any other program.
- Download Yosemite Zone from http://hackintosh.zone/hackintosh-downloads/file/545-hackintosh-yosemite-zone/. Make sure you select the DMG version of the file.
Setting up the USB flash drive:
- Make sure you have a USB Flash drive with >8GB storage.
- Open Transmac. Inside Transmac, select your USB flash drive and right click it, then click 'Restore with Disk Image'.
- Hence allow the drive to be formatted, and select the Yosemite-Zone.dmg file. Allow it to proceed.
- Reboot the machine.
Setting up the PC:
- Enter the BIOS by spamming Esc key. Select Enter Setup.
- In the BIOS, disable Secure Boot, disable Fast Boot, Enable CSM. Save the settings.
- When you reboot, constantly press the Esc key to enter boot menu. Select the device the installer is in.
- When in the bootloader, type in "/amd64 -v" without the quotes.
TO BE CONTINUED. I am currently backing up the SSD on my machine right now, so I will update it as I go on. I will add screenshots as well to help you all out after it's finished.
