iDeneb v1.4 10.5.6 Walkthrough Installation
This tutorial will give you a walkthrough on an iDeneb v1.4 10.5.6 installation. Older versions of iDeneb are basically exactly the same.

Before we being you need to make sure that you are going to install iDeneb on a computer with the following specs.

  • Processor with either SSE2, SSE3, or SSE2/3 capabilities.
  • At least 512 MB RAM
  • At least 9 GB of free disk space
  • A DVD drive for installation

I found it best to use a system that has an Intel CPU. People have gotten AMD to work with the patch but an Intel CPU would be the preferred method of install. Also to find out if your CPU has SSE2 SSE3 capabilities you can use a utility called CPU-Z It's freeware so go ahead and download it. Once downloaded go ahead and extract the zip and run cpuz.exe When the main screen loads up you will need to look under the section that says "Instructions". For example mine said

Instructions: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T

If you have SSE2 and/or SSE3 then your good to go.

Be aware that iDeneb might not work on all systems. You may have to try to use some patches that would be under CUSTOMIZE while installing. I have never needed to install any patches so unfortunately I will not be covering that in this tutorial.
Currently I have iDeneb installed on my a Western Digital external hard drive, and am using it on my Toshiba A305-S6825. I only use iDeneb so that I can use the PWNAGE tool to create custom IPSW files for my iPod & iPhone.

Ok so first things first if you don't already have a copy of iDeneb then you need to download one. I would suggest using your favorite torrent site and searching for "iDeneb". You should be able to find the same exact torrent that this tutorial is covered which is named "iDeneb_v1.4_OSx86_ISO". I know when I downloaded it there were over 300+ seeds so it didn't take long to download.

After you download iDeneb you need to burn it to a DVD. Single layer is fine. You can use Nero or MagicISO etc.

Then you will need to put the disc in the cd drive of the computer you want to install iDeneb on. Reboot the computer and when you see the prompt that says "hit any key to boot from CD", go ahead and do as prompted to begin the install process.


At this point you should now be seeing this screen. You will be on this screen for a few minutes. As long as you can hear your DVD drive working then everything should be loading just fine.
iDeneb13.jpg


After everything is loaded up you will get to this screen, go ahead and select your language then continue on.
iDeneb1.jpg


Next you will see this screen.
iDeneb2.jpg


Followed by this screen. Click CONTINUE
iDeneb3.jpg


Now this screen. Click AGREE
iDeneb4.jpg


Now that brings us to the "Select a Destination" screen. At this point you need to go ahead and select UTILITIES>DISK UTILITY from the menu bar.
iDeneb5.jpg


Now at this point you need to prepare a partition to install iDeneb on. Just follow the 4 steps outlined on the ERASE menu. As you can see from my setup, my first drive shows 232.9 GB TOSHIBA which is my internal drive. Then 298.1 GB WD 3200BEV which is my Western Digital external hard drive. I then have THREE paritions on that drive, (three partitions is not required I just have 1 NTFS partition, 1 FAT32 partition, and lastly the MAC OSX partition which is what I install iDeneb on.
Make sure that your settings look like the ones below, Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then you can name the volume whatever you want. Other formats MIGHT work I dunno, but I do know that this one works for sure so try that first unless you really know what your doing. After you get your done setting up your new volume you can go ahead and close the utility out.
iDeneb6.jpg


Now that puts us back at this screen. Go ahead and select the volume that you just created and click CONTINUE.
iDeneb7.jpg


Now on this screen you need to click on CUSTOMIZE

Here is where things can get tricky. The only two options that I needed to check for my install were the two pictured below. I would recommend doing

the same for now. If you can't get iDeneb to boot after the install you probably need to come back in here and add something. For example if your

using an AMD processor then you need to select the AMD patch under
PATCHES>ALTERNATIVE ESSENTIAL PATCH>AMD PATCH. If your sound card isn't working then see if there is a patch that you can apply also.
iDeneb9.jpg


Now at this screen the installation will check the DVD to make sure that all the files are there. I always just click on SKIP.
iDeneb10.jpg


Now you can just sit back and wait for the install to finish. This part only took about 10 minutes to finish but it will vary from system to system plus depending on if you installed any patches etc.
iDeneb11.jpg


Now hopefully everything went well and you should now be seeing this screen. Go ahead and click RESTART and hope for the best
biggrin.png


After reboot your system should boot to this screen. It will take several minutes to get past this part the first time. If you feel like you have waited a

good amount of time and your system still hasn't gotten past this part, turn your computer off and back on and try booting again. My system got past

this screen but then it went to a LIGHT BLUE screen where it just sat there forever and stopped responding. I had to turn my system off and back on and it booted up fine the second time around.

Ok so if you got past all that you should be pretty much home free at this point. The rest of the install is pretty much just simple user interaction screens.

That pretty much covers the basics. If your system was unable to boot you can go back and try reinstalling with some of the patches that are listed. Also on my system I had to go into my BIOS and change my "SATA Controller Mode" from AHCI

to Compatibility. If your system isn't booting you might want to check your BIOS to see if you have similar settings. You might have something to the effect of

"Controller Mode" with the options of AHCI / SATA / IDE in that case you would wanna select IDE.

If iDeneb doesn't work there are other alternatives but I have found that iDeneb works best and is my preferred method of install. Other alternatives would be iATKOS 5i 10.5.6 or Kalyway 10.5.2

How to Build a Hackintosh with Snow Leopard, Start to Finish


Adam Pash —
500x_snowhackintosh1.jpg
Two years ago, I detailed how to build a Hackintosh for under $800—then covered how to do the same with less hacking. Now that Snow Leopard's out, we're revisiting the Hackintosh, building a Hack Pro from scratch for roughly $900.
Update: This guide has been superceded by a much easier method: Install Snow Leopard on Your Hackintosh PC, No Hacking Required.
For folks eager to try a Mac but never wanted to plunk down the high price tag to get it, the Hackintosh—that is, a regular PC tweaked to run OS X—has always been an attractive option. That said, it's not something you should take on lightly unless you're willing—even enthusiastic—to build and maintain a PC entirely from scratch. I can't guarantee it'll be easy, but if you follow this guide step-for-step (it's exhaustive) and stick with the same (or at least roughly the same) hardware as I am, I can vouch for a rock solid system that also happens to cost a good deal less than you'd pay for a comparable Mac.
Price Comparisons

Most Hackintosh enthusiasts will say you shouldn't build a Hackintosh primarily to save money, as it's more than just an insert-disc-and-click install. Still, I always enjoy looking at the price differences between my Hackintosh and Apple's current offerings. At the moment, the cheapest Mac in the Apple store is a Mac mini sporting a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 120GB hard drive. For $300 more, I'm running a 3.0GHz Quad-Core processor, 8GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, and a damn saucy video card. I could have made this build much cheaper by skimping on hardware and still ended up with a great little machine, but I liked aiming for around the $800 price point from my last build—plus I really wanted to make it fly.
500x_macs.jpg
The most expensive iMac, by comparison, has only a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB of memory for $2,200 ($1,300 more than my build, but it is built into a monitor), while the cheapest Mac Pro has a single 2.66GHz Quad-Core processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 640GB hard drive—and it costs $2,500 ($1,600 more than mine, though it's a different and better processor and DDR3 rather than DDR2 RAM). In short, my $900 "Hack Pro" sports nearly as good or better hardware than any Mac that Apple sells short of the $3,300 8-Core Mac Pro (which can, incidentally, get more expensive, but it won't get much better).
The Hardware

You can find plenty of hardware capable of supporting OS X on a Hackintosh—there's no definitive build—but we're not going to go into that here. I've put together a list of hardware that I'm using and that I can guarantee will (or at least has) run Snow Leopard like a dream.
Here's a link to everything I bought over at Newegg:

500x_wishlist.jpg

The Build

Rather than detail every step necessary to put the actual pieces of your new computer together (this guide already reads like the Bible as is), I'm just going to point you to our first-timer's guide to building a PC from scratch. Do your building, make sure everything's booting up as it should be (i.e., you can boot the computer to the point where it does nothing, because you have nothing installed on it), then let's move on.
What Else You'll Need

Assuming you've purchased all the necessary parts for your build (linked above), you'll still need a few other things before you get started:

  • A USB thumb drive that's at least 8GB in size (I'm using this 16GB Corsair drive, but obviously any sufficiently sized thumb drive should do just fine.)
  • A copy of the Snow Leopard Install DVD. You can use the $29 "Upgrade" disc to install, even though this is a fresh installation. Note: If you feel like being completely honest, go ahead and buy the Mac Box Set—though, honestly, Apple's practically made it hard *not* to buy the fully functional install disc.
  • Another Mac to do some Terminal work on. (You'll only need this other Mac for a few steps. I used my MacBook Pro, but you could also borrow a friend's for an hour or so, too.)
Step One: Prepare Your Thumb Drive

We're going to be installing Snow Leopard to your Hackintosh from your thumb drive rather than from the Snow Leopard install DVD, since in order to run the installer on your PC to begin with, you'll need to slightly customize the way the installer is loaded. (More specifically, we'll be loading a custom bootloader onto the thumb drive that will make booting into the install work like a charm.*)
So first things first: You need to format your thumb drive and then turn your Snow Leopard install disc into a disk image on your desktop. Here's how to do it:

  1. Launch the Disk Utility application on your borrowed Mac (located at /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility)
  2. Format and partition your thumb drive: Insert your thumb drive; after a second, it should show up in the Disk Utility Sidebar. When it does, (1) click on it, then (2) click on Partition. (3) Choose 1 Partition from the Volume Scheme, (4) give it a name (I called my HackintoshInstall) and select Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) from the Format drop-down. Now—and this is important—(5) hit the Options button and make sure GUID Partition Table is selected as the partition scheme. Once you've made sure to set all the appropriate settings, just (6) click Apply and Disk Utility will get to partitioning your thumb drive.
  3. Copy the Snow Leopard Install DVD image to your hard drive: In the following step we'll be turning your thumb drive into a Snow Leopard Install drive, but before we do that, we need to get the installer off your DVD and onto your hard drive. To achieve this, insert the Snow Leopard DVD. When it shows up in the Disk Utility sidebar, (1) click on it, then (2) click New Image in the Disk Utility toolbar. Choose where you want to save it (for the sake of convenience, I put it on my Desktop), then click the Save button. Now go grab yourself a cold drink. This will take some time. When it finishes, move on to the next step.
  4. Restore the Snow Leopard Install disk image to your thumb drive: Now, in Disk Utility, (1) click on HackintoshInstall (or whatever you called your partitioned thumb drive) and (2) click on Restore. (3) Drag and drop Mac OS X Install DVD.dmg from the sidebar to the Source field, then (4) drag and drop your thumb drive from the sidebar to the Destination field. Now simply (5) click on Restore and enter your password when prompted. Disk Utility will take everything on the Snow Leopard Install DVD and restore that image to your thumb drive—since, like I said above, we'll be installing Snow Leopard from our thumb drive instead of the DVD. Again, go grab yourself another drink; this will take a few minutes. When it finishes, your thumb drive has basically been turned into a Snow Leopard installation drive.
As I said earlier, the thumb drive needs a little finesse before you can boot the Snow Leopard installer on your PC hardware; let's apply that finesse now.
Warning: Semi-heavy Terminal work ahead. It's not that difficult, and I've gone into a lot of detail to make it as easy to follow along as possible, but if you're not at least a little comfortable with the command line, it may make you pretty uncomfortable. Beg or borrow a command line geek for an afternoon, if needed.


  1. Make sure your thumb drive is still plugged in, open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type in: diskutil list

    We're interested in two pieces of information here. The first is the root identifier for your thumb drive (mine looks like disk2, as you can see in the screenshot). The second is the specific identifier for the portion of the thumb drive that contains the Snow Leopard installer. (Again, see the screenshot.) In my case, the first is disk2 and the second is disk2s2. Yours may vary depending on how many disks are on your system. Copy your identifiers down somewhere. We'll need them later.
  2. Head to the Chameleon homepage, find the Latest Releases section of the site's sidebar, and download the latest version of Chameleon. (As of this writing, it's Chameleon-2.0-RC2-r640.) Uncompress the download and move the Chameleon folder to someplace that's easy to access. I'm putting it on my Desktop.
  3. Now, in Terminal, cd to the i386 folder of the Chameleon folder. On my Mac, the command looks like this:
    (1)
    cd /Users/adam/Desktop/Chameleon-2.0-RC2-r640-bin/i386/
    Yours should look similar if the Chameleon folder is on your Desktop, except your username should replace mine. (Quick shortcut: In Terminal, type cd , then drag and drop i386 folder inside Chameleon-2.0-RC2-r640 to Terminal.) Hit Enter.
  4. You're going to be running a couple of Terminal commands that will use Chameleon to make your thumb drive friendly to booting up the OS X installer. They are, as follows: (2)
    sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk2
    IMPORTANT: On your computer, replace rdisk2 with whatever you copied down above. In my case, the thumb drive's root identifier was disk2, so /dev/rdisk2 is as it should be.
    After you type in that command and hit Enter, you'll need to enter your user password to execute it. Do so, then execute the following command, again paying special attention to the disk identifier we took note of above:
    (3)
    sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk2s2
    IMPORTANT: As I noted, my Snow Leopard partition was disk2s2, so that command is right for me. You should replace the disk2s2 portion of the command with whatever you noted as the portion of your thumb drive that contains the Snow Leopard installer.
  5. Now we're going to place an awesome, custom EFI bootloader on your thumb drive that lets us load into the installer (and into Snow Leopard in general). So first, head over to netkas.org and download the bootloader from the bootloader link. Make sure you download it somewhere convenient. (Again, I've just downloaded it to my Desktop.) Now head back into Terminal, where we're going to copy the boot file to your thumb drive. (One might think that you could just do this using Finder via drag-and-drop, but in this case, doing it via Terminal is necessary.) So, in Terminal, your command should look similar to this:
    sudo cp /Users/adam/Desktop/boot /Volumes/HackintoshInstall
    The easiest way to do this is simply type in sudo cp , (1) drag and drop the boot file into Terminal, then (2) drag and drop your mounted thumb drive from the desktop into Terminal. (The drag-and-drop method is a quick Terminal trick that pastes the full path to each file or directory.) After that, simply hit Enter. (Enter your password if necessary.)
  6. I know it seems like we've already run a marathon, but you've got one last step and then it's relatively smooth sailing from here on. Download Extra.zip, unzip the file, and then drag and drop the Extra folder into your thumb drive. Nothing fancy, a simple drag and drop with your trusty old mouse will do. Once you've done that, open up your thumb drive and verify that it looks something like the screenshot below. (Notice the Extra folder, the boot file, and the OS X installer.)

Take a deep breath. By this time, you've completed all the hard work. Now it's time to boot up your machine, tweak your BIOS settings so they're ready for your OS X install, and then it's smooth sailing.
Step 2: Set Your BIOS

Before you can boot into or install OS X on your Hackintosh, you've got to make some small adjustments to your BIOS. Rather than taking you step by step through every change you need to make, I've simply snapped a picture of the relevant BIOS screens and added some notes. Just click through these images and make sure your BIOS settings match up.

View the gallery

Step 3: Install Snow Leopard

If you've made it this far, the hard part is over. Now it's time to install Snow Leopard, which—unlike what we've done so far—is extremely easy.
Make sure you've set the boot priority in your BIOS to boot from your thumb drive (you can see how in this pic), then simply plug your prepared thumb drive into your Hackintosh and power it up. Since screenshots aren't really an option—and since it's a fairly easy process—my install instructions come in video format:
2SXVsyeKSvs.jpg

The quick version goes like this: Boot into the Snow Leopard installer, format the hard drive you want to install Snow Leopard to (go to Utilities -> Disk Utility, then click on the drive, select 1 Partition, Mac OS X Journaled (Case-Sensitive Update: Several readers have suggested that case-sensitive formatting can cause problems with some applications, like Adobe's Creative Suite, so you may be better off sticking with plain old Mac OS X Journaled.), give it a name, and make sure GUID Partition Table is set in the Options. After you Apply the new partition, go back to the installer and install like normal to that drive. When you reboot after the install completes, press the arrow keys at the graphical boot menu and select the drive you just installed Snow Leopard to.
A Few Final Tweaks

You'll notice that, the first time Snow Leopard boots up, you're not enjoying any sound along with that snazzy intro video. We've got one small, but very simple tweak to make to get sound up and running. Here's how it works:

  1. 340x_Fix_yer_audio.jpg
    Download the Kext Utility, then download this audio kext (a kext is kind of the Mac equivalent of a driver) and unzip it to your Desktop. Once you've got both in front of you, drag and drop the ALC889.Fix.kext file onto the Kext Utility. You'll be prompted to enter your password, so go ahead and do that when you're prompted.
  2. Once the Kext Utility finishes running, open up Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app). Once it loads up, (1) click on your Snow Leopard drive (mine's called Hack Leopard), then (2) click Repair Disk Permissions.
  3. Once Disk Utility finishes repairing your disk permissions, just restart. After your computer reboots, your audio should be working like a charm. (If not, open up Sound in your System Preferences and try changing the Output device.)
As things stand on your system right now, you need to have your thumb drive plugged in every time you reboot in order to load the bootloader that allows your Hackintosh to load OS X. There are certain benefits to this (for example, right now you could quite likely unplug this hard drive from your Hackintosh, plug it into a Mac Pro, and it would work just fine), but it can also be a bit of a hassle. At this point, though, you can load the bootloader and other necessary components onto the Snow Leopard hard drive and change that drive to your primary boot drive in your BIOS. All you've got to do is head back to the step-by-step bootloader guide above and repeat every step, except this time you're applying each step to your hard drive rather than your thumb drive.
Congratulations! You've Got a Fully Functional Hackintosh

340x_About_This_Mac_01.jpg
"But for realz," you ask, "does it actually work well?"
I've been using one or another Hackintosh as my main computer for two years now, and while I've run into the occasional bump in the road, they've generally run extremely well. In fact, things just seem to keep on getting better and better, and the current build I'm running (the one I walked you through above) feels like the fastest, most stable build to date.
That's not to say that you won't experience an occasional kernel panic—you may very well. But I get crashes on my MacBook Pro, too, and I've never felt that my current Hack Pro has any more problems than any other proper Mac I've used on a regular basis. That may seem a bit crazy, but it's true.
As for upgrading—often, you'll be able to upgrade your Hack Pro without any problems. That said, it's something you normally need to check on beforehand, and you should take all of the upgrade precautions before giving it a go.
I'm planning on letting readers know how my Hack Pro handles various 10.6.x updates shortly after they happen, though, and if it requires a little extra work, I'll show you how to handle it.
Let's hear your thoughts—whether you've dabbled in the world of Hackintosh, are interested in doing so, or just think it's plain crazy—in the comments.

* OS X boots in a different way than, say, Windows, using a boot tool called EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface). On store-bought Macs, EFI is loaded on the hardware by default (in fact, in place of the standard BIOS most of us are used to). In order to boot OS X on our non-factory Macs, we need to create our own custom path to EFI.
Huge thanks to stellarola, Onetrack, and weaksauce12 for all their help in getting me up to speed on installing Snow Leopard on a Hackintosh PC. The Hackintosh community is large and active, and they are awesome.
