ENJOY! </dict></dict>

Hi Prema,

Thanks for your awesome mod. Do you have any suggestions for the best way to install Mavericks? Clover is changing quite rapidly, but I made the tweaks to config.plist that you suggested. What are the proper USB controller settings? Which USB driver? I can get the Clover screen to pop up, but when I select my installer, the bootloader redraws, but the Mac installer never boots. I tried different cache options. Do I need to do this in CSM video mode?

Best,

nightalon

I heard you a page back. That's the stock CPU code, I'll PM you a version with an older code when I find time, maybe Intel blocked the accidental OC unlock for certain CPUs...

Hi Prema I update my sager with latest Prema Mod, and now I read about Intel ME firmware update... But I have some questions about Intel ME... For Sager NP9150 (P150EM) Ivy Bridge latest Intel ME is 8.1.51.1471 ? I need run MESET for update? What Intel ME do? Where I can found latest drivers?

[tcfialho]

After update to v2 prema Intel 7260 AC Bluetooth is not working... I don't know if is some incompatibility or driver bug because lot of people have same problem http://goo.gl/oIQMzg with non clevo/sager notebooks. But my problem seens start after bios update. I think old bios has one bluetooth option that are grey now or maybe is something about BT swith in keyboard (the light now is always on and I can´t turn off with FN key ).

Yoshigure,

You should be fine with the AC cards, i'm running an intel ac-7260, many others are too. No issues

Just run the ME update in Windows, no need to do anything else.

Update your 7260 AC driver:

[godfafa]

YES & YES

Thanks.

Just to make it sure, let me rephrase it.

The 600w dual psu can be used fully as it is meant to be in p370em and sm right?

And 780m can be mounted on both p370em and sm? or just sm?

Dual PSU 300W & 330W works on all of them.

780M works only on P-SM not the P-EM

I solved the problem with AC 7260 bluetooth, deativating bluetooth in windows device manager and doing FN12 so i activate again. I even see onscreen logo about acticate bluetooth same for wifi.

Just upgraded my W230ST, complete timing control and XMP profile support for the DIMMS now - been wanting to try overclocking them to the 1866MHz version.

Thanks, Prema!

EDIT: Had to add -allowsv command line switch to update the ME firmware to the new version posted.

Overclocked RAM to 1866MHz 10-10-10-32 without a problem.

Will donate again ASAP!

It can't be updated with the standalone ME Firmware update version as it is already updated by the latest ME when flashing the Mod.

(You just forced it to flash the same version again even though it was already up to date.)

Oh, ok, lol. Doesn't harm anything. Thanks again for the mod.

[Guest]

The new Mods have re-introduced bug for a NON UEFI LAN PXE boot scenario, which I thought I had fixed.

Will have a fixed version up by tonight.

The new version will keep the v2 revision, but instead show 27 Feb 2014 as date in CPU-Z etc...

Sorry and thanks for your patience!

EDIT: All versions fixed and online.

ENJOY!

Hello Prema, thanks for your excellent work!

My p157sm(tf x611) was updated to your "P15xSM_33_31_PM1.1" version last Saturday, it has been working perfectly until yesterday I found the webcam has gone.

I've tried to reinstall my OS from Win8 to Win8.1, and restore the bios to default settings but it didn't work.

The camera has been used several times after updated the bios, but it has been gone suddenly, I can't figure it out.

Could you please help me if with your pleasure.

Thanks again.

Propably not BIOS related, but you could update to the latest version.

Make sure cam is enabled in latest Clevo Hotkey App.

I've tried to reinstall my OS to Win7, can't find the camera from the Device Manager.

If fn+F10 is pressed, the camera will be disabled but it still is shown in the Device Manager, but not disapeared.

I've the battery removed and tried, problem still exists.

The TF dosen't offer any BIOS and BIOS update tool, but I've backuped before, the backup is only a 4MB big file.

If I could restore the BIOS by a toolkit called "T_AMI_EFI_BIOS" or not? Is it safe to do so?

I've checked everything even the keyboard, and found no problems.

I am afraid it might be the only way to get the camera back now...

Sorry for my bad English, I just can't find my Webcam, it was disapeared from my computer now.

Here is the Screenshot which I've took earlier before...

Now it has no Camera option anymore.

Never flash any old backups! The risk of bricking is very high.

As you said, your webcam worked long after you flashed the BIOS, so it is probably a broken cable or cam.

As I said try to flash the v2 of the Mod if you want to iron out any NVRAM related issues.
