This is our guide just try once. It worth trying and make sure to backup everything you need.
I don’t understand Step #7. Step #6 was installing it on the computer… Are you saying that after we install OS X in Step #6, we have to install it again?
I just skipped Step #7 and it booted from the SSD just fine.
So how do I get wi-fi and bluetooth and the keyboard and trackpad working?
I’m assuming I need t get the correct drivers and install them?
That’s okay. Now you need to post installation, follow the steps from these guides:

I’ve done my homework and try to do some research about my stiuation (i am forgeting how write this word, sory for that) as much as possible i’ve tried to set the some settings that neccessary.

As i told you before i have intel hd4400 disaster thing.
Naturaly i tried first 4400/4600 plist, but it has crashed boot process. Lots of weird letters words on screen… So i start to try every single one of plist one by one. At last, in desktop section hd3000 works… At least it is not crashing, i dont know. Anyway…
With spacebar i chacked nv_disable=1 and -v and -s and select boot mac os x with god damn selected preferences/option… Tadaaa… Nothing has changed… Screen off , screen on… wellcome back to the old but gold friend “step 3”. It is waiting for me even there also too 🙂 “step 3” loves me so much i think. We gonna good friend with it… 🙂 But if you help me.. i wanna meet “step 4” face to face… Thanks in advance for your time… 🙂
Hey dear, If HD300o worked then why you don’t go ahead If the mouse and keyboard don’t work then use external mouse and keyboard. let me know what’s your system specification?
hi sir i have hp pailivion 15 i booted el pwn but in select lunguge my keyboard and muse not working
Hey dear, In this cause you can use an External Mouse and Keyboard to complete the Installation process after that you need to install the drivers for keyboard and mouse.
The second method is: you need to go to this guide: https://www.wikigain.com/guide-install-macos-sierra-on-lenovo-z50-70-z40-g50/
At the first section Creating USB Installer Follow the Steps that mentioned in the Important Note.

In disk utility Clean your partition and then try to install. It will work
In a boot mode.. when is click on El pwn version .Then it shows a “EBIOS READ ERROR: Device time out

Please sent your system information
Hello, i’m having issues after booting into Mac os and after the loading bar reaches 100% I get the prohibitory symbol (stop sign)
My specs are:

Asus z170 Pro gaming
already checked my bios to make sure Sata controller is on “AHCI”

make you sure that secure boot is disabled from BIOS and if you failed again then try some boot flags to boot in.
Hello sir,
Can I install EL Capitan on Dell Inspiron N4110?
RAM 6GB
CPU Core i3 2.1Ghz
Yeah dear, You can give a try.
I Followed Your Steps And Created Bootable Drive All Going Good But While Installing I Was Not Able To Find My Hdd For Installation. What Should I do?
Yeah dear, you are going right and in this step you need to partition a disk with disk utiliy. Read the remainning steps carefully then you will get.
After booting process….. In a disk utility, it show error for erasing a drive…. what can i do…..?
In this, You need to clean all your hard disk to partition it for Mac OS. That’s the only way.
Sir, All procedure is done . After partition in disk utility. When i click on EL CAPTIAN for installing it… it installed and come back to previous step…. What can i do now….
This time when the OS X installed from USB Installer to HDD that you preferred then from clover or transmac bootloader then just select the OS X HD that you nearly installed mac on it.
its nt wrking.. 1st step is completed… In the bios mode , whn i click on the USB then Windows Icon is shown……
Give your system details, whether, it’s compatible with your PC or no.
Processor: Intel Core(TM) i3-4005U. CPU@1.70GHZ
RAM:4.00 GB
MODEL; ACER ASPIRE E15
What about the graphic card?
Graphic card: INTEL HD 4400 1GB graphic card
Ok, then that must work fine, From BIOS make sure that the SATA Controller is set to AHCI and secure boot is disabled. If it didn’t work then I suggest you to try the UniBeast way also: https://www.wikigain.com/install-mac-os-x-el-capitan-pc-using-unibeast/
okay Faiz Orz, thanx. i will just try any boot flag.
do i have to format first my hdd before installing mac os? ‘coz it has already an existing windows 7 on it. i didn’t format it ‘coz if this mac os won’t work on my system, i don’t have to install again the windows 7.
Make you sure that you have a Bootable USB with windows 7 then in cause if you failed to install OS X then reinstall windows 7 again and if you want to install OS X then you have to create a partition for OS X to install it on that drive. So in this cause you will need to partition the Disk, mostly it happened to me while installing OS X, the system couldn’t create the partition for OS X because it wants to erase or clean the hole disk and when I did then I was able to partition the disk for OS X.
okay Faiz.. thanx for the help. i’ll update u soon whether successful or not.
hi! can my system run on Mac OS X El Capitan?

what boot flag should i use?
Hello Dear,
I can’t tell you that your system can run or can’t, But you can give a try!
oh! okay. how about UEFI configuration? any configuration should be changed before installing el capitan?
Sorry i didn’t get you, what you mean by UEFI Configuration?
just like BIOS settings. new mobos have UEFI settings. haven’t u heard that? what mobo did u use when u install mac os in this tutorial?
There is no guide for UEFI settings because you are going to boot directly from the USB Installer. It’s not the Unibeast way to make changes in the BIOS and then it will be able to boot up the clover menu.
please tell me the boot flag for dell optiplex 9020
Try the boot flag that is mentioned in the article above. If didn’t work then combine boot flags and try again.
Hi guys I have a HP EliteBook Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU L 640 @ 2.13GHz, Intel(R) HD Graphics, 8GB Ram and 300gb HD.
I am using el pwn version USB made with Transmac but I can’t get it to run I booted with -v cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=No and it crashes at the screenshot. Any Idea I am stuck
http://prnt.sc/cbngv4
Try to boot using different boot flags like booting with nv_disbale=1 -v and depends on your system. other boot flags are mentioned in the article above.
Your setup should made with legacy mode not UEFI with Unibeast and in Bios Settings enable Legacy and disable Secure boot and disable USB 3.0 then boot into clover and add Bootflags :- dart=0 cpus=1 nv_disable=1 -v
use these 4 bootflags only with these i was successful to install.
Yeah dear, the boot flag depends on the system. You used those 4 boot flags and successful to install on your system but it’s not the same with all.
Yes Dear correct .
I just gave him boot flags according to his laptop configuration.
That’s fine then
Setup not running, loading usb pendrive then it Mac screen load completed system will go shut down Choose your Language screen selection not appear, Intel i5-3450 cup@.10GHz, 8. Gb Ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX 650, Bios setting change to AHCI
If you can’t boot into USB Pendrive then try to use some boot flag that mentioned the article.
Working with intel hd graphics abd 2gb RAM? Drivers and WiFi working?
Laptop or Desktop?
Desktop
Can this work alongside windows 10???
Yeah, the step creating USB installer works 100% on windows 10 but installing it on your PC depends on your system. IF it’s supporting mac or no

But now the problem is after restarting and selecting the drive its not going into the system,after some lines of codes its restarting,if i try some other boot flags its hanging at “debugger not configured hanging” error,so i m using previously used boot flags.
Now boot into the same USB Installer and when you get into the system, then edit and apply all the configuration on your system that you applied on your USB installer. Including config.plist and don’t forget to install and update your graphics driver.
I am getting the same problem can you explain it deeply what to edit and what next
You have to Edit Config.plist file. First Mount EFI partition with clover Configurator then finds the config.plist from the folder and edit as your system configuration.

I am getting Local APIC error
Try to solve it by entering some boot flags, mentioned in the article above.
Guys,
I’ve been trying to install Mac on my T440S for a month, this is how it ended :
http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-lenovo-t440s-clover-uefi.158369/page-9
Even if you manage to install it, everything won’t work at 100% because there not much drivers for you hardware.
My advise, give up, or buy a Mac like I will do.
Will try to install it on my desktop PC. (easier)
In cause, if you found that what’s missing and how to fix it then you don’t need a mac. but in some cases, the laptops aren’t compatible with the mac.
I have a Haswell i5 4th generation processor I tried it with boot flag nv_disable=1 but stacked on apple logo.
Your device boot flag might be different. So you need to enter the other boot flag that mentioned in the post.
Good luck!
Will these procedure helpful on my HP Laptop with Configuration (Want to install Captain EI)
I have tried all the boot flags I am stucked on the black screen with content “************************_”

If the screen goes black on your laptop then try to use an HDMI cable or VGA to see the process on the next screen.
Are you sure about that your system doesn’t support “UEFI Mode” instead of “legacy Mode”?
I am not getting install Mac after booting into bootable pendrive. It enters into clover boot settings I have also set the nv_disable-1 after that I am getting options such as 1.External 2.NTFS 3.NTFS …… So on what to select next

Hello,
I will try the installation tomorrow, and let you know!
I’m just wondering if we’re “allowed” to do the update once the system installed ?
There’s nothing about it.
Thanks.
Hello Dear Marvin,
Yes, you’re allowed to update anytime you want.
Hello,
I have a Lenovo T440S with an i7 4600U.
Unfortunately when trying to boot on the USB-flash, the screen get white with the apple logo on the center, then restart to the same point “Press Enter to start up Darwin/x86” :/
I tried those boot flags :
npci=0x3000 , npci=0x2000 , USBBusFix=Yes , cpus=1 , PCIRootUID=1, IGPEnabler=Yes or IGPEnabler=No, GraphicsEnabler=Yes or GraphicsEnabler=No
nv_disable-1
/haswell
Didn’t worked.
Booting up the installer always crashes on my machine after about 2/3 is loaded, followed by the stroken sign.
What do I have to type in?
My PC:
i7 6700
DDR3 – 16GB
256 SSD and 2TB HDD
NO graphics card
Use boot flags to Boot into USB Installer

Hi Dear Mike,
I suggest you when the screen goes black then on that time use the HDMI port and share your screen with your TV or another screen by HDMI Cable it may work but if it didn’t work then your system Intel Core 2 Duo is not campititable with Mac OS X El Capitan.
I’ve tried two HDMI cables on two different monitors and I couldn’t switch to the external screen, all FN-Functions work, except for this one and I have the suspicion that this feature (switch to external screen) is a software driven feature once a GUI is started. I remember I was able doing that when Linux was installed, but obviously durin boot while in text mode, this isn’t working for that Laptop. (For a Zotac zbox it DOES work). What I’ve also tried: Close the Laptop Lid as the Laptop turns off the internal Display, but that didn’t help either.
I guess, now I’m out of options, or are there more things which I could try?
Greetings
Mike
Watch the video on youtube ( https://youtu.be
/3YiyCepFCSY) I have recorded the video on the external screen using HDMI Cable and this work and shows everything while it’s powered on and connected to my laptop. So, I think this do not need a software-driven feature.UPDATE: Sorry, the links are removed from YouTube. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Well, as I said, I do not see anything on the screen. I think the issue I’m having is rather that in my BIOS I cannot set the SATA mode to AHCI and there is also no option in the BIOS to let UEFI boot first. I only can chose “Legacy support” on/off and that spoils the boot of the stick. Moreover I’ve tried the classic way with downloading Osx El Capitan from the App Store and installed it to the stick with UniBeast. Same story. In both methods, I cannot even see the first Clover Menu due to lack of the mentioned BIOS option. There is no BIOS updates for that Laptop. I think I have to give up on that Laptop.
Yeah, it because you should choose legacy support while creating USB installer with UniBeast. and because of your processor is Intel Core duo 2, so it may not compatible with Mac OS X El Capitan.
There is no Virtualization for Intel Core Duo 2 so I don’t think you can install Mac on your system even with VMWare/ VirtualBox.
My Chipset is Intel Core i7-6700 so it is Skylake. However, I dont see the boot flag for my chipset, pls help

2.Is it harm my Laptop to Run Vmware (mac) for 5 or 6 hour?
Plz answer.tnx U
No, I don’t think it harms your computer. Because the RAM and processor are good.
When I use any and flags I get “can’t find boot file” error any ideas how to fix this
Tell me your system details plz
Still pretty new I have an and fx processor. With 10gb or ram Windows 7 is my main os what other details are key?
Your system is AMD or intel, desktop or laptop, hard drive and so on?
Amd system, desktop, Windows 7 is installed on a ssd and I have an empty 360gb sata Seagate I think that I’m trying to install to. I’ll have to check on other Info when I get back to my computer. Any other key points you need?
No, it’s OK.
For AMD processor the steping might be different my dear. These steps work for intel based system.
My keyboard and mouse do not work. I am stuck at the installation screen.
Use an external mouse and keyboard. When the installation is completed, Install the Multibeast in order to work the mouse and keyboard as usual.
It is on my desktop I am using an external monitor mouse and keyboard.
Try connect and disconnect your external mouse and keyboard. If again it did not work let us know.
Good luck dear Mohamed

Hello Dear Heythem
In the article i have some instructions for how to boot into Installer By Boot Flags. There are many Boot args Please once try them and they must work for you. like me when i want to boot into USB Installer then i use (NV_Disable=1) boot flag, well it disbale Nvdia gfx. But after installing OS X Then you need to installer the drivers like nvdia manully, if you use NV_Disable=1.
Hi Faiz
need you to explain something I see flags with-without :/ should I write the symbol first?
is flag “: /amd -v” refer to processer or graphic card beacue I have intel processer “Intel i7-4790 Haswell” and “AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series” Graphic card
Hello Again Dear Heythem
Yeah, USE Boot flag like: (AMD -v) not like (/amd -v) apply these to all but if you want to enter 2 boot flag’s then in the middle use /
also, type (-v) at the ends of your boot flag’s to show the diagnostic messages, by this you will know that what’s your problem and what’s wrong with it.
Hi again
1-I tried to write the whole line
“npci=0x3000 , npci=0x2000 , USBBusFix=Yes , cpus=1 , PCIRootUID=1, IGPEnabler=No, GraphicsEnabler=No”
2-the first time give me error but the second is start finally and I reached to that point “when Mac ask for restart”
http://i2.wp.com/www.Wikigain.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Restart-to-Complete-Installation-of-Mac-OS.jpg
but after that I faced problem like before
http://i.imgur.com/OS8hLwz.jpg
please let me know how can I fix this asap!
Your comment will reply tomorrow dear Heythem. Check the following day around 12 PM
hello Dear Heythem,
I am so sorry for late replying. Due to some cause i coun’t be active nowadays. Now you’re saying that i am at setp 6 and you have installed Mac Form the USB Installer to The drive that you must created for Mac OS X El Capitan at step 5. Now this time boot from the Mac Drive that you created for Mac OS X El Capitan with the same boot flag that you USED to boot into USB insaller.
Welcome back Faiz I missed you
I did like what you mention but the errors appears in that step I tried more than once don’t know how is that possible after I been that close!!
Thanks for your great article,
Can you please follow-up with the post-installation guide? Specifically, USB is not working after installing USB-related kexts with MultiBeast.
We’ll try to create the post after installing Mac OS X El Capitan.
We have to Install MultiBeast in order to work OS X El Capitan perfectly.
Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried MultiBeast 8.2.1 which is bundled with USB installation options.
2 (3rd Party USB 3.0, 7/8/9 Series USB Support) pass and 1 fails (Increase Max Port Limit).
When I finish, reject USB and try to boot from Hard directly, login screen appears, graphics seems to be installed properly, but USB keyboard and mouse are not working at all. (Booting from USB and then starting system from hard is totally fine.) I use Legacy Boot (not UEFI) which I wonder this is a problem.
I searched and checked a lot of articles, but it seems like MultiBeast 8.2.1 contains most of their workaround. (FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext)
I use Dell Optiplex 7010, will you please check if this model doesn’t meet the requirements of El Capitan?
** At STEP #7, I think it’d be better to mention the installation requires 2 times of reboot.
Also want to avoid confusion on these 2 things, selecting USB from BIOS boot menu and then booting from USB actually (Sorry, I might miss something).
Thanks again!
You’re welcome dear Like Hackintosh. OK, we will try to search about this problem that you’ve.
We’re happy that you have read all the steps carefully and share your idea with us.

I checked i have 3 port ;1 for install usb, 1 for keyboard and 1 for mouse , on Windows is working perfectly.
Ok, let me do some research then just see the answer below this post.
I use laptop ; Acer Aspire e1-572G

Yes Friend i already connected my external keyboard and mouse but not work anyway
Sorry do you use Laptop or Desktop?
Yes now is working but now he show how to switch on the track pad and mouse and my mouse and keyboard is not working please help
OK, now use an external Mouse and keyboard till the installation process should complete. After the installation, you have to install the drivers for Mac which we’ll cover this in an article, as soon as possible. Until that time, you must use external Mouse and keyboard.

Hello Dear Firat dgn
I think the problem is with your graphic card use this (nv_disable=1) boot flag then if it didn’t work, let us know.
My laptop is Lenovo Y50 and I installed Mac OS X Yosemite by unibest, Is it possible to install by this method also. I can’t believe!!!!

hello sir, how to install el capitan on my PC?
SPECS:
1. Asus H110M-D DDR4
2. Intel Pentium G4400 3.3GHz
3. Kingston 4GB DDR4-2133
4. ATI Radeon R7-240 2gb
5. Seagate 500gb 5400rpm.
do i need to configure the BIOS settings?
Just follow the article if didn’t work let us know.
I imagine the performance on a pc hardware must be as bad as Windows…
why go all through the trouble if you can get for cheap a MacBook with Intel cup for 200/300 ?
then you got the real deal!
dear tuber, you’re right somehow,
but some laptops and desktops with Intel cup with SSD hard disk + graphic card, you can run Mac OS X with well performance on PC.
You’re right dear Tuber.
You can have the same performance if you install the bootloader. The Mac operating system is going to work perfectly.
We will manage the article, as soon as possible. Be in touch with us.
Dude you’re dead wrong.
Hello Dear Tubee
Please let us know, where we are wrong?
How we’re wrong dear +Tubee?
Hi thanks you but how I can find my laptop boot manager?
It’s Lenovo intel core i7.
If your laptop is Lenovo so it has a small button beside the charger place. it’s called Novo button or one key recovery. push and hold that button then your computer will automatically start and the boot manager screen will pop up. If again you did not get, let us know.
Hi thanks for this article

Hello, i have created the usb bootable but when i try to install it, after choosing lenguage it says
OS X Could not be installed on your computer
El capitan is already installed try to reboot
The problem is i never installed an hackintosh on these pc, im on skylake on mobo msi z170a gaming pro
Once try this. “Fix the time and date before installing” or something like that. Here’s how to resolve while booted from the install disk:
1. Utilities > Terminal
2. Fix the date and time, e.g., date 101407002015 (i.e., Oct 14, 07:00 2015)
3. Click Restart (sadly, there’s no other option to go back and try again)
I have the same problem on my Medion Desktop PC, it has a Intel Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5700 @3.00 GHz.
It start up completly but at the installation manager it says that OS X El Capitan is already installed, so i changed date and time to what you said here above, but it doesn’t help.
So I tried it now for several times but it still isn’t working. Do you have other options that I can try?
