How to install El Capitan on Acer Aspire V3-371-52FF


  1. Prepare USB drive with latest El Capitan. You can use other Hack or Mac, or download torrent with contains R-Drive and image of installation media.
  2. Install latest Clover if you prepared USB drive onto other Mac. In installer select Install on UEFI and Install on ESP partition, uncheck all drivers.
  3. Next, copy config_install.plist, drivers64UEFI at CLOVER folder on EFI partition. Also copy FakeSMC.kext, RealtekRTL8111.kext and VoodooPS2Controller.kext from kexts folder into CLOVER\kext\Other on EFI partition.
  4. Boot from USB and install system. No special actions are required.
  5. Next, boot into installed system with USB stick. Back into pt. 2 and repeat it, except copying kexts and use config.plist rather than config_install.plist. DO NOT REBOOT.
  6. Open terminal, cd into toolbox folder and run ./toolbox.py -a. If you not connected to internet, toolbox cannot generate proper SSDT for working speedstep. So, you can generate in later by run ./toolbox.py -gs with disabled Drop OEM tables in Clover.
  7. Toolbox will install all needed kexts, VoodooPS2Daemon and generate patched ACPI. Copy content of api folder into CLOVER\ACPI\patched on system EFI partition.
  8. Reboot. Congratulations, system is ready to rock!

If audio still won't work, try to run in terminal sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u / and reboot system.
