[Success] iDell XPS 8300 *Yosemite 10.10.5*
Hey guys, I'm finally able to make my guide on installing Yosemite on the Dell XPS 8300. I've been running Yosemite since its first Developer Preview and it runs flawlessly on the XPS system. I've been running OS X on the XPS system since Lion, following the tutelage of Gravewyrm and here's a link to his guide if you guys wanna run Lion: http://www.tonymacx86.com/lion-desktop-guides/23492-success-project-idell-xps-8300-lion-10-7-3-a.html. I made my own guide for ML and here's the link to that if you wish to install ML: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-guides/64789-success-idell-xps-8300-mountain-lion-10-8-2-a.html, and one for Mavericks as well: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks-desktop-guides/115401-success-idell-xps-8300-mavericks-10-9-a.html. All three of these OSes run amazingly well, but I can say without a doubt Yosemite has solved every single issue.
I have been using the system since it released in its beta form, and its been running smoothly. I apologize for not posting a guide as soon as the system came out, but I've been quite busy.
Yosemite makes life really easy because there are two ways to go about installing the system, upgrade and a fresh install. The upgrade allows you to jump from Mavericks to Yosemite without sacrificing any of your files, while the fresh install treats the computer as a brand-new entity. You can choose which way you wish to progress, but I suggest the fresh install. Simply back-up your files from your old Hackintosh and transfer them over after the fresh install. I have not done the upgrade since the Beta version of Yosemite so I cannot guarantee the flawless results that I received. If anyone does upgrade from Mavericks, comment here so others can rest assured that the results have not changed since my time during the Beta.
On to the guide!
Method Number 1: (Upgrade from Mavericks)
If you have followed my old guide on installing ML or Mavericks all you have to do is use Unibeast to create a bootable USB stick. Follow Tony's guide if you want to know what exactly you have to do in order to create the bootable USB.
Once you have created the bootable USB enter your BIOS and hit the F12 key to get into the boot selection menu. Enter 'Setup' and make sure your Hard Drive mode is set to AHCI. Save and exit. Now when booting up the PC again hit the F12 key, and boot from the USB stick and select your installer. Since you already have Mavericks installed (again remember to follow my old guide to the letter), all you have to do is continue, agree and select your target disk (the one you already have Mavericks on) and proceed with the installation.
One the installation is complete it will restart the computer and again you will have to hit the F12 key and boot into the USB. This time select the Yosemite Installed drive. Now all your files should be safe and you have updated to Yosemite without any hassle.
Now this is where stuff gets a little messy. Even though I used the Unibeast method to install the OS, I use the Clover bootloader. The Clover bootloader allows for on-the-go patching, and makes life a whole lot easier. Tony has a guide on how to install Clover. There shall be an attachment at the bottom of the post, and it shall show you what options to select in the Clover installer.
Once you installed the Clover installer, you'll need to navigate to the mounted EFI partition and go to the directory /EFI/Clover. If for some reason the EFI partition is not mounted, use the Clover Configurator program in the attached zip file, and click the 'Tools' tab on the left bar. You'll see an option on the bottom right titled 'Mount EFI Partition'. It may prompt for your password, input it and you'll see the EFI Partition in Finder.
Once in the /EFI/Clover folder you'll see the config.plist. You don't have to go through the hassle of patching files, as I have attached my config.plist. Simply replace the current config.plist with the one found in the attachment zip. You're almost home free. Just one last step. In order to patch the audio, you'll need to run the 'audio_realtekALC-100_v1.0.4c.command'. It'll open up in Terminal and prompt for a password. It shall automatically detect the correct audio device, simply click 'y' at every prompt.
After the script finishes, it shall tell you to reset the computer. Before doing so, open up Disk Utilities, navigate to the Yosemite partition and click 'Repair Disk Permissions'. When the permissions have been repaired, restart the computer.
I know you're hoping for another step, but that's all! Now you have the perfect Yosemite system running on your Dell XPS 8300. No need to buy any other hardware, you have everything you need!
Method 2: (Mavericks Clean Installation)
As I mentioned above, I've been running Yosemite since the first beta and it runs perfectly.
If you want to completely wipe the system and have a fresh installation of Yosemite the process is slightly different as you have to format the HDD before installing the OS. After that all the steps are the same as above.
The installation process is the same as an upgrade, once you have created the bootable USB enter your BIOS and hit the F12 key to get into the boot selection menu. Enter 'Setup' and make sure your Hard Drive mode is set to AHCI. Save and exit. Now when booting up the PC again hit the F12 key, and boot from the USB stick and select your installer.
Now if you want to wipe your existing OS go to the menu bar, and select Disk Utility. Erase the partition. If you already had Mavericks installed there is no need to set the table as GUID and format the partition as OS X Extended (Journaled), but if you are installing it on a new HDD make sure the set the table as GUID and format the partition as OS X Extended (Journaled). Once the drive is erased/formatted close Disk Utility and go through with the installation. Once the installation is complete it will reboot the system and hit F12 again, select the USB stick but this time boot into the drive you installed Yosemite onto.
So like I mentioned above, I use Clover as my bootloader even though I installed via Unibeast. It just seems like the most convenient method of installation, so I suggest you follow suit. Tony has a guide on how to install Clover as your bootloader, so follow that. The post Clover steps are the same as the ones above. So I just copied the above steps for you to follow:
Once you installed the Clover installer, you'll need to navigate to the mounted EFI partition and go to the directory /EFI/Clover. If for some reason the EFI partition is not mounted, use the Clover Configurator program in the attached zip file, and click the 'Tools' tab on the left bar. You'll see an option on the bottom right titled 'Mount EFI Partition'. It may prompt for your password, input it and you'll see the EFI Partition in Finder.
Once in the /EFI/Clover folder you'll see the config.plist. You don't have to go through the hassle of patching files, as I have attached my config.plist. Simply replace the current config.plist with the one found in the attachment zip. You're almost home free. Just one last step. In order to patch the audio, you'll need to run the 'audio_realtekALC-100_v1.0.4c.command'. It'll open up in Terminal and prompt for a password. It shall automatically detect the correct audio device, simply click 'y' at every prompt.
After the script finishes, it shall tell you to reset the computer. Before doing so, open up Disk Utilities, navigate to the Yosemite partition and click 'Repair Disk Permissions'. When the permissions have been repaired, restart the computer.
There you have it. Yosemite is really a great OS and it runs beautifully on our XPS 8300. Enjoy yourself on your Hackintosh, and look forward to a guide on how to jump to El Capitan when it comes out. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed. Reply to the thread if you're having any issues, or if any part of the guide is unclear and I'll update the guide accordingly. Enjoy your iDell!
*Update*
Updated to 10.10.5 and nothing has changed. You may need to run the Clover script again, and I have included the newer script to run. Same deal as last time, after the update, simply run the file and it'll detect the hardware and prompt you to proceed. Restart after it installs the kext and you should be golden.
*Notes 1*
I have included the 'audio_cloverALC-110_v1.0c.command' script as well. I believe this file can be run to patch the audio as well. It detects and prompts the same as the other script provided, but I believe this one is immune to updates as it is patched via Clover. If any of you choose to use this script, please let us know if the results are the same!

Here is my experience installing a fresh copy of
Dell Xps 8300 Driver Updates
* OS X Mavericks 10.9 on a Dell XPS 8300 *My setup before installation.
2 Hard Drive one on SATA0, the other on SATA2.
(8300 has 4 SATA ports, first two SATA0 and SATA 1 are the faster ones 6gb/s)
For this install, I put a brand new SSD on SATA port 1.
What I prepared:
2 USB Keys, one 16gb for OS, one 4 gb for tools
(but you actually could just use one, copy all the tools onto the OS key if you have space left.)
software
OSX Mavericks Installer (download from Apple Appstore)
Mutibeast-Mavericks-Edition-6.zip (from download section of this website)
KextBeast.zip (from download section of this website).
Chimera 2.2.1 (from download section of this website).
BCM5722D.kext
(download from http://www.osx86.net/files/file/916-bcm5722d-kext/)
Mutibeast-Mavericks-Edition-6.zip (from download section of this website)
KextBeast.zip (from download section of this website).
Chimera 2.2.1 (from download section of this website).
BCM5722D.kext
(download from http://www.osx86.net/files/file/916-bcm5722d-kext/)
first, use UniBeast to create the bootable USB stick.
Xps 8300 Specs
Enter BIOS at boot up, spam the F12 button to get to the boot selection screen.Instead of choosing a boot drive, enter SetUp. Make sure your Hard Drive mode is
set to AHCI. F10 to save and exit
at the boot screen, Press the F12 button again, this time, booting from
Xps 8300 Drivers
Xps 8300 Motherboard
USB stick with the Mavericks Installer on itDell Xps 8300
Boot into the installer.Select language, At the actual installer screen,go to the menu bar, and select disk utility.
Set the target drive which is the SSD that I want to install OS X to, as a single partition, set the
table to GUID, and format it in OS X Extended (Journeled).Once the utility has completed
its task, close it, and continue with the install to the formatted SSD drive.
Install takes about 15 minute
Once the installer is done, it will re-boot. Let it count down on its own, and once
it re-boots, press F12 again to get to the boot options.
Select the USB stick. At the boot loader, select your freshly installed Mavericks install.
Plug the second USB stick in, and copy all the software to a folder on the OSX desktop,
(here might be an optional step to manually remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kext due to KernalPanicks. It happened to me at reboot after multibeast, I had to use -v at boot screen to find out what happened.)
Optional: open the finder, go to S/L/E (System/Library/Extension,remove the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagermentClient.kext, or in terminal, run 'mv AppleIntelCPUPowerManagermentClient.kext to AppleIntelCPUPowerManagermentClient.kext.bak')
Run MultiBeast,having these options checked:
Quickstart>DSDT Free
Audio>without DSDT>AC887 current
Audio>without DSDT>AC887 current
build and reboot
Once MultiBeast has done its thing, you can eject the Bootable USB stick, and do a re-boot
Lexmark 8300 Drivers
Let it boot as normal, and you should be back to your desktop.Now need to fix the ethernet, put KextBeast and BCM5722D.kext on the desktop,
Run KextBeast and it will install the networking kext. Repair permissions, and reboot.
(Note: I did not have to use the IONetworkingfamily.kext as mentioned in the other guide, the BCM5722D.kext is the only one I use KextBeast to install, I assume it is because the latest MultiBeast and Mavericks already take care of most of drivers.)Drag Chimera to the desktop. Run it,
and re-boot.
I had to go to BIOS to change the boot sequence to set SSD as the first boot device so I can use
Chimera as bootloader (to boot into OSX and windows 7)
After reboot, both ethernet and sound work fine, sleep/awake also works without any isse,and the SSD made OSX lightning fast. It is quite amazing.
