Q: OS X Freezes on install (tried all fixes)
I recently made the silly decision to upgrade to El Capitan on my 2011 MacBook Pro as it went off without a hitch on my iMac at work.
It has incurred the same issue that I have read about countless times and am trying to fix it and I've tried almost everything. it freezes at about 70% install or fully fills and then does nothing, I've left it over night to no use.
- Ive booted it up I recovery mode and reinstalled the OS to no avail
- Ive flashed the NVRAM a few times to no avail.
I haven't tried deleting any 3rd party kexts as I don't know how, the commands I followed and typed into terminal just said command not recognised etc.
i understand there are other topics on this but I have scoured them and tried everything I could to my knowledge and it still hasn't worked. If someone could aid me in deleting any kexts that are causing issues with the install that would be great, and if that doesn't work some further assistance if possible! I really don't want to do a hard install.
thanks, any help is massively appreciated!
