El Capitan on the Unsupported '06 iMac, With OS X Patcher!

Thank you so much for posting this - it was very helpful! I did run into a problem and I was wondering if you (or anyone else) have any suggestions. I have a macbook 3,1 which had Lion on it and needed an update. I found your El Capitan video you posted and decided to give it a go - I followed all the steps outlined and everything booted up and worked great ! The one issue that I’m having is the black screen after sleep/lid being closed - which I cannot figure out how to fix. I tried all the suggestions I saw posted in various places, including resetting PRAM, SMC, deep sleep and hibernation set to zero, setting the correct boot drive default, putting in password, key combinations with no luck. (I make no guarantee that I tried all of them correctly - so I am willing to try them again if suggested) The computer wakes up, but the monitor does not - the fan is on and the caps lock turns green - so I know it's on. Short of forced shut down - nothing else brings it back. This is not a hardware issue (at least I don’t think) - since it goes to sleep and wakes up without any issues on the Lion partition. Not sure if you have any suggestions short of turning off sleep mode and having to shut it down every time I want to close the lid. Has anyone with an older macbook installed El Capitan and did not have issues with the black screen after sleep/closing lid? I’m thinking of just starting over with the install and hope for a different outcome. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@Txm_Dxr_Bxss]

disable sleep mode. It won't work due to missing kext support.

[@matultau7095]

@@Txm_Dxr_Bxss Thank you. With this functionality not working do you just shut down the computer every time you walk away from it or is there another way that I am missing? Does it always stay on, or is there a way to make it not go into sleep mode when the lid is closed? Right now if the lid is closed the only way it can come back is with a hard restart. Started reading up on kext - thank you for bringing it up. So is this a limitation of the patcher, the unsupported mac, both? Thank you!

[@Txm_Dxr_Bxss]

@@matultau7095 A kext is a Kernel EXTension, basically has similar functions as a driver on Windows. Yes. You have to turn it off. I think brightness control and any 3D acceleration doesn't work on the GMA X3100 either, in addition to the missing transparency effects shown in the video.

After I patched it, my iMac keeps booting into OS X Utilities (recovery mode). What do I need to do?

[@Txm_Dxr_Bxss]

My MacBook 2,1 was stuck in a boot loop too. Try to run the patch again.

[@pedrotonidandel]

hwy bro, this supports on Macbook Air 1,1 (2008)?

[@WindowsG]

no reason it shouldn't.. would run like complete garbage tho

[@iMischaa]

Why?

[@Zebra_Paw]

I got 10.8 Mountain Lion to work with graphics acceleration. Will try to get it on El Capitan, otherwise I will try Yosemite and Mavericks. It's a macbook 4.1 (so should be stuck to Lion or not use macOS but I have Mountain Lion running just like it would if it was officially supported, proves that Apple dropped support for no reason here).

[@inspirationtoday7550]

Unless someone finds a way to patch the kernel to 32 bit , the x3100 graphics won't work . I don't mean the 32 bit efi , the kernel has to match In 32 bits because they only made x3100 acceleration to work with that and not in 64 bit kernel , or efi.

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@inspirationtoday7550 but how would you get a 32 bits kernel on El Cap?

[@inspirationtoday7550]

Yea , but the only reason why x3100 graphics would work on a 2007 MacBook with Mountain lion is by using the patch , or installer that switches the x64 kernel back to 32 . thats why the x3100 graphics works then. Hey , how do you feel about running Mountain lion nowadays. is it safe enough to do .

[@inspirationtoday7550]

@@Zebra_Paw I don't know how it would be done Probably possible up to Yosemite. Similar to the mountain lion 32 bit hack To allow x3100 graphics.

Its good to talk to you on here. How's your journey with osx .

Could you please send for me the method how could I install or download El capitan step by step on my i ma G 5

[@claudiomarongiu9150]

You can’t do that in the g5. Different architecture!

[@akaHHV4]

HI, i did the process but when i boot the macbook 3.1 it appears the apple logo and then i got stuck into a gray screen, anyone can help me?

[@claudiomarongiu9150]

Same problem! Did you manage to solve it?

[@RobbieTheK]

I know I downloaded the full .7z file but I am getting this CRC error:

[@middlefingerhc]

It didn’t work for me and now my mouse, keyboard and trackpad doesn’t work

[@spongyfan1]

I have an iMac 5,1 with ATI graphics and the computer just restarts in the middle of the installer every time I run it.

[@applefixpl2195]

the same problem with same iMac. any solution?

[@lbsiuk]

@@applefixpl2195 apparently you need to find a kext manually swap it or something like that, remove the old original 32-bit kext and find a replacement 64-bit kext.

[@paulomontenegro]

It’s crazy that sometimes the patch works and sometimes it doesn’t 😂 so if you did not get it right the first time please keep trying

[@mendezdannys]

Comands Post Patching please 🙏

[@Ryan_Revier]

It runs on macOS 10.7.5 which is “Lion” and didn’t go to macOS El-Capitan..with 4GB of ram..

[@WindowsG]

Yes, but with unofficial patches (like the one shown here) it runs.. sorta

[@TheiTunesFanboy]

When you are creating the installer, does Terminal say when it's done or not?

[@claudiomarongiu9150]

Yes it does

[@fotoluz12]

You got me at the password of four random numbers on terminal where do you get those numbers

[@WindowsG]

Oh, that's the password to your user account

[@biancafirmino7726]

I can instal sierra or high sierra on this mac ?

[@WindowsG]

No sadly, Sierra+ requires SSE4.1 which isn't supported by the '06 iMac
