I had checked and rechecked all the possible solutions and none of them worked. I was still able to successfully log in using -x but the graphics were very poor. I made sure IGFX was the first option in BIOS (was also the only option I had since I didn't have a discrete card). Since I have a K version processor, 4670K, I didn't have to worry about Disabling VT-d since it's not an available option in the BIOS settings. I tried all types of boot flags, IGPEnabler=Yes IGPlatformID=0x260000 PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes, different 4600HD flags, but unfortunately none of those seemed to work.
What finally did work for me, even on OS X Mavericks, was to choose and install the DSDT Free option in the older version of Multibeast. The only option I selected in Multibeast was the DSDT-Free option since the Gigabyte Z87 board doesn't require a DSDT. So if none of the other previous solutions work for you, hopefully using the older Multibeast will resolve your issue.
What you can also try but a method I haven't tried myself is the following:
Boot with -s. When you see the prompt "root:":
Type: mount -uw /
Type: cd /System/Library/Extensions
Type: mkdir intel_back
Type: mv AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelF* intel_back/
Type: touch ../Extensions
Reboot and use -v flag.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad it worked out for you.
Deletenoob question. do you use the -s the same way you use -x or -v? if so, i lock up at root# and have to hard shutdown...
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried that method myself but I would assume you would use it the same way you use any other boot flag. If you are unable to type anything once you see the root prompt then I am not sure what your issue may be.
Deletemaybe your keyboard is not recognized, try a usb one, or try switching usb ports(2.0 usually works better since apple doesn't support 3.0)
DeleteAny idea why that would be? my system is 3770k on a gigabyte z77 ud5h, nvidia 680gtx... everything was working, and smoking fast before the update to 10.9.2 ...
ReplyDeleteI actually had to restore from a Time Machine backup after installing 10.9.2 on my system. I haven't tried updating since it was released, but I plan on giving it another try in the near future.
DeleteWhat do you see when you use -v?
The bluetooth transport error that has been hitting some people. Everything was working fine with the update, except my wifi. I used an updated network kext that worked for some, and that's when it started... I did back up my kext first with kext wizard, but even after restoring it, I still have to use safe mode -x to boot...
Deletethanks a lot, it works for me the second part: moving the graphic kexts.
