For using Clover, I suggest you read here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-proboo...-install-yosemite-hp-laptops-clover-uefi.html. Filter appropriately as some information is HP ProBook specific (omit HPFanReset.efi, most of the stuff in the ProBook Installer, for example).

You will probably need to:
- add "nv_disable=1 dart=0" to config.plist/Boot/Arguments
- set config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KernelLapic=true

Realtek WiFi is not supported and will need to be replaced. Lenovo is famous for having a strict BIOS whitelist.

Thanks for fast reply but I have something missing which is :

4. Plug the flashdrive to USB ports. Restart and press F9 to choose Boot devices > Boot from EFI file > choose your Clover bootloader partition > EFI > Boot > BOOTX64.efi


I dont have this in my laptop It shows only UEFI Boot or legacy I can choose and in boot menu it shows usb or hdd there is no Clovr >EFI.Boot >Bootx64.efi

The mechanism to boot a specific UEFI device varies by laptop. Refer to your laptop manual/user guide.

I booted with UEFI and I putted the clover folder as the guide and i putted the 4400&4600 config and used your boot flags

result is stuck on apple logo without the slider for installation

any suggestions ??

Boot verbose for troubleshooting.

Graphics problem. Post the config.plist you're using.
