A faulty external USB hard drive can cause your Hackintosh bootloader to give you EBIOS errors on startup. Though Unibeast is supposed to only take 10-15 minutes to run, it may take up to an hour, depending on how fast your USB drive is.īefore you begin your Mavericks installation, make sure to follow these procedures: - Unplug all USB-connected devices from your computer before you begin the setup (except your keyboard and mouse).
Don't panic! This is normal- during the "Running package scripts" stage, the progress bar is counting the number of files copied, but Unibeast is copying some really big files, so it takes forever for the number of copied files to increase (this step is shown in the fourth picture). Chances are, Unibeast will look like it's stuck at the "Running package scripts" stage. You'll come up to the installation progress bar. If neither of these options apply to you, simply click "Continue" (this step is shown in the third picture). Select the second option as well if you're installing Mavericks on a laptop.
Select the first option if you use a first-generation Intel Core processor these are Intel Core processors with 3-digit model numbers, such as the Intel Core i7-960 or i7-875K. In addition, there are two extra options you might want to select: "Legacy USB Support" and "Laptop Support". Choose the "Mac App Store Mavericks - 10.9" option. Click through the pages in the Unibeast installer, until you reach the following selection page. Select your USB drive as the installation destination (mine is named "Cheesecake") (this step is shown in the second picture).

Make sure that the OS X Mavericks installation app from the Mac App Store is inside your "Applications" folder of Mac OS X (this step is shown in the first picture).

Be sure to download the newest version 6 of Multibeast, not the older versions 3, 4, or 5.ĭownload Unibeast and run it. Multibeast (Free): Multibeast is a collection of kext files (which will be discussed in a post soon) that your Hackintosh will need to run properly, after the initial installation. You can reuse this USB drive for normal stuff after you finish installing Mavericks. Since Unibeast will erase all of the files on your USB drive, make sure to back up its contents first. An empty USB drive (8 GB or larger): The USB drive used for Unibeast must be at least 8 GB in size. (you might be able to circumvent this requirement by spoofing your system version) (a guide about spoofing the system version will be posted soon). Though the Mac App Store is included in Mac OS X 10.6.6 and newer, you have to be running 10.6.8 to download Mavericks. OS X Mavericks (Free): The method used by this guide requires that you download a free copy of the Mavericks installer app from the Mac App Store. Be sure to install the Virtualbox Extension Pack to view USB drives from your virtual machine. Alternatively, you could install Mountain Lion on a virtual machine (which I will post soon), and run Unibeast on there instead. You could use a real Mac, if you own one. A Hackintosh with Snow Leopard/Lion/Mountain Lion already installed, a real Mac, or a Mac OS X virtual machine: Unibeast is a Mac app, so you need a computer with Mac OS X to run it.

Unibeast works with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer registration on is required to download Unibeast. You can then use this Unibeast USB drive to run the Mavericks installer on a PC. Unibeast (Free): Unibeast is a Mac program that modifies the official OS X Mavericks installer, and writes it onto a USB drive.

You can bypass this requirement by applying the MBR patch to Unibeast (which I will post soon) (the process for Mavericks is the exact same as for Mountain Lion). Unibeast will not work on a hard drive where Windows was installed first. A separate hard drive: Mac OS X needs its own hard drive (a minimum of 10 GB of space is required, but at least 50 GB of space is recommended).

If your computer already has OS X Mountain Lion installed, Unibeast will just update Mountain Lion to Mavericks normally, without deleting any of your apps or files. The hardware requirements for OS X Mavericks are identical to those for OS X Mountain Lion AMD processors and older 32-bit Intel processors (such as Pentium M) are not supported. Be sure to read the Hackintosh compatibility guide (which I will post soon) very carefully, to check whether or not your computer qualifies. A compatible computer: Not every computer will work with Mac OS X, even with the help of tools like Unibeast and Multibeast.
