Luke! I was able to install Mavericks on my 2015 15”MBP, and I know exactly what the problem is - surprisingly enough, it isn’t due to being a prototype. When Apple designed the 2015 15” MBP, they changed just the battery, trackpad and keyboard, hardware IDs, and Wi-Fi card. To install, I used an open-source bootloader (OpenCore) to enable graphics acceleration and function keys by patching out the old device-ids and swapping in the corresponding 2014 ones. That’s why the trackpad doesn’t work well; mavericks doesn’t have the multitouch drivers for the force touch trackpad. The following worked with just patching device-ids (which are used to attach drivers to the hardware): -Audio -GPU Acceleration The following required a simple plist kext to attach the correct drivers: -Keyboard What doesn’t work, and probably won’t, unless a driver is written: -Multitouch gestures (essentially ignores all other inputs) -Force touch (Mavericks doesn’t have this built in anyways) -WiFi and bluetooth (I suspect the WiFi card was changed for the 2015 model; no patches or kexts would work, usually throwing a DRAM error in the boot logs) If you want, I can provide my EFI folder. Other than these issues, everything works, including the machine identification if you add the -no_compat_check boot argument. (Just adding this to the boot plist hangs the machine, because mavericks doesn’t know how to handle the device-id for the gpu, despite being the same as the 2014 MBPs.)

Actually, I helped OP on Discord with installing and getting the graphics and keyboard (with proper media keys) working. Audio is easy, you just have to use the correct layout ID, which I cannot remember right now, hopefully OP can say. Graphics is also easy, you have to patch the framebuffer to have a display output from the iGPU because the iGPU framebuffer kext in Mavericks does not support the ig-platform-id, the Hackintosh community has been doing this for a while and we have two kexts, WhateverGreen and Lilu, to handle this patching cleanly for us. You just have to specify the correct parameters in a Device Properties entry (whether it be by ACPI SSDT or DeviceProperties entry in OpenCore; we do not speak of Clover.) However, I doubt that the framebuffer is going to give much trouble on this machine. WiFi and Bluetooth are unknown parameters and I am almost certain that the wireless card in this prototype is not the same as the BCM43602 in OP's MacBookPro11,4. Now, it's time for the elephant in the room; the trackpad. Unless that build of OS X (which I am very keen to find out, please let us know the build number if possible) has development kexts to support the Wellspring9 trackpad, it will not work. The data format and structure of the Wellspring9 trackpad (that is the codename for the Force Touch trackpad used in the 2015 MacBook Pro refresh) has changed slightly to accommodate pressure sensitivity data, this isn't too much of a hurdle if someone is willing to make an actual kext that handles that data format and structure (which I was about to do for the OP, but I stopped short because I had run out of time). I'm also very interested to see if we can get some kind of filesystem dump and/or IOReg dump from the machine.

Thinks it’s best just to leave it as it. There’s no point trying to install retail Mac OS on prerelease hardware.

@flagers4468 3 жыл бұрын

@@lachlanbrown8110 Upon further investigation, that machine appears to be running a retail build of Mavericks anyway. The build number for the OS is 13F34, which is the initial public build for 10.9.5 before any security patches; furthermore, the build dates for the kernel and AppleKeyStore kext shown in Single-user Mode match exactly the dates and times for 10.9.5. All prototype and in-developement kexts and/or software are likely irretrievably lost. But, just to provide some more tidbits of information: The system model identifier is set to a prototype identifier in the SMBIOS (ofc, because this machine has prototype firmware running, however a retail OS), that is why the Mac modal image that shows which Mac you have in About This Mac shows a generic image of a Cinema Display. This is also why no other versions of OS X install, because they check for the model identifier. Mavericks was installed on this machine one of two ways, by adding the "-no_compat_check" boot-arg, or by deleting the "PlatformSupport.plist" file in "/System/Library/CoreServices". The processor appears as a "2 GHz Intel Core i5" because the Apple-specific Processor Type SMBIOS field in DMI type 131 is improperly set to 0x0605 (after all this is a prototype board). As for the memory, that's also probably wrongly displayed due to incorrect data in the Memory Device SMBIOS fields in DMI type 17. Also, I have to contradict my first reply, it most likely is a BCM43602 like in the OP's MacBookPro11,4.

Watching this reminded me of when I came across a similar situation. A friend of mine was having trouble with her eMac (yes eMac - an all in one with CRT produced for the education market). It turns out her brother was an engineer with Apple and had sent it to her. She needed it serviced but the local service agent wouldn't service it because of issues with the serial number which indicated it was an internal use development device that wouldn't normally have left Apple. Her brother had to supply documentation saying his sister had it legitimately before the service agent would fix it. Perhaps not too out there, except the sister was in New Zealand so it is definitely intriguing to see how far some of these things get when they "escape".

There was probably a special variant of OS X Mavericks they had with kernel extensions for that trackpad that is not longer present due to the drive being wiped. That trackpad is essentially behaving like a trackpad would on a hackintosh that doesn't have a kernel extension installed for it. It's honestly surprising that it's working at all on a stock copy of Mavericks, but I suppose the kernel is providing some information to the OS that it can use to tell it that it is a trackpad at the very least. The kernel on the machine is most likely what's stopping it from running any other version of OS X because that kernel isn't signed to run anything else other than Mavericks, so Yosemite and so on will see it as an incompatible kernel and fail to install or run. You can probably flash a 2013 or 2014 standard MBP kernel to it and it will run newer versions of OS X. It reminds me a lot of Xbox 360 prototypes from 2004. They can run any beta software, but can't run any retail software.

I think I know exactly why it thinks there is a Core i5 inside it. I had the same phenomenon occur with my AMD Ryzen hackintosh. It uses a Ryzen 5 3600 processor, but in macOS it's reported as a Core i5. I've seen people use Ryzen 7s and 9s in their systems and it still reports as either a Core i5, or simply an Unknown processor. When the Unigen Heaven benchmark reported that the prototype MacBook was using a Core i7, It was most likely correct as third party apps typically show more details about the processor than macOS does. Most of the time, Apple uses Core i5 as a placeholder if the CPU model is not properly recognized by macOS.

Just watching the video of this rare MacBook Pro made me think “those things should’ve been on the production line a long time ago” Just seriously those things are powerful to run any operating system, any games and even push every bit of hardware to its limits to know that nothing will break. I want to also find out if MacOS will work on a 64bit windows PC or Laptop. Can someone please tell me if it has the potential to work because I don’t want to do it if it will decrease its ability to keep up with basic things. so, I need someone to tell me if it works and what the pro’s and con’s are with doing so and can windows and MacOS run using half of the disk space for each on the hard drive so I can boot MacOS from a thumb drive then be able to unplug it and it will still run but then when I restart it I want it to still be able to boot up into windows 10. Besides having 250GB storage for each. I want to be able to run either one without issues so what would be best

This is a fascinating look into how apple makes their products. Never would have thought apple would cobble together so many different parts just to test their trackpad, instead of just using an existing MacBook Pro chassis! Thanks for the great vid as always
