HOW TO UPDATE YOUR KEXTS IF YOU HAVE EL CAPITAN INSTALLED USING THE POST #502 METHOD
Hi, guys. Sorry I'm not been by here for a while (got a new job and it requires tons of time).
If you have El Capitan working using the Post #502 method, you should be able to update these kexts, and you should do it (I'm supposing these kexts works OK, but I've not tested them yet)!
So, what you have to do:
METHOD 1: I want to take the internal HDD out from the computer.
1- Install the kexts using the installer into your unsupported machine. Shutdown.
2- Take your HDD out from the mac and connect it to another computer, the BASE computer, so as to say, the computer with which you created kernelcaches (it's the computer you used as "the mother one" when you did the post #502 process).
3- Repeat the steps 8a, 8b, 10 and 11 from your "mother-BASE" computer being sure it has SIP disabled.
4- Put the HDD into your unsupported computer again and boot from it.
5- It should boot, so a good idea is creating a backup of the folder /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/.
METHOD 2: I don't want to take the HDD/SDD out of the computer.
0- Clone your internal HDD of your unsupported mac to an external HDD.
1- Install the kexts using the installer with your unsupported machine,
not into the internal HDD but into the external HDD you have just cloned. Shutdown your machine.
2- Take your external HDD and connect it to another computer, the BASE computer, so as to say, the computer with which you created kernelcaches (it's the computer you used as "the mother one" when you did the post #502 process).
3- Repeat the steps 8a, 8b, 10 and 11 from your "mother-BASE" computer being sure it has SIP disabled.
4- Boot your unsupported computer from this external HDD (you have your new kext caches you have just created there).
6- If it boots from your external HDD, copy the folder /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/ from your external HDD to your internal HDD.
7- Now reboot and boot from your internal HDD/SDD. It should work.
8- A good idea is creating a backup of the folder /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/.
Some of you have said there are some drivers not working into your macMinis or so... Now, you see, there are updated GMA950 kexts, give them a try, now you have the method to do that.
If you need some other kexts, I recommend installing Yosemite using MacPostFactor v1.x, and if it works on your computer, take the boot.efi and the kexts you need from there and use them with your El Capitan HDD using the Post #502 method. You just need to change step 7 from that #502 method and copy the kexts you need into /Volumes/Capitann/System/Library/Extensions/, as that step says.
The post #502 method works with MB2,1 and MBP2,2 (check
post #567 if you have this computer), these are the computers I have. Other guys have done that with MB3,1 and MB4,1 too.
If you have a MacMini or another computer I recommend looking at post #567: adding the 7,1 step to the
Post #502 method is the key to get El Capitan working on your computer if you need to install some package with your kexts (like these ones we are talking about:
macOS Extractor Graphical Kext Update 1.2). You can create a 7,2 step (between steps 7 and 8, I want to say) and copying your special kexts into /Volumes/Capitann/System/Library/Extensions/ is all you need.
I hope you will have a great success.
