[Fix] Resolve boot screen garble

[RehabMan]

I am using the config_HD4200_4400_5xxx.plist file. It has the fix in it, but I am still getting the boot garble.

If you're referring to the plist from my guide, the patch is disabled by default.

Post config.plist you're using.

I'm on yosemite (10.10.5) and I don't have logo on boot, only black screen.

Is a Intel serie 7 hd4000 1366x768, using clover (laptop). Using the news config.plist do the same.

But you're able to boot OS X?

Yes, all is working. Graphics acceleration, speedstep, DSDT (brightness, sound, wifi...) but the logo and the loading bar does not appear.

Experiment with config.plist/GUI/ScreenResolution. Also legacy/CSM enabled/disabled.

Hello! I'm completely new to Hackintosh and I've been reading a lot of stuff here and there. So many configurations and system settings, I'm totally confused! I'm not a computer person, so please excuse me if I ask something stupid.

I've seen many people writing "in order to solve this (or that) booting issue, just add this patch to the Clover config.plist. If you are not using Clover, type the code below" or stuff like this.

I'm not using Clover to boot my Hack, for what I understand it's using Chimera. I followed all instructions available here on tonymac and used a Macbook Pro to create my bootable USB with Yosemite (El Capitan didn't working at all), then I ran Multibeast as supposed to and now I'm facing problems like the "boot screen garble" and the "unknown locale 21".

I've found some solutions online, but they involve downloading extra programs that don't run on macs (which I didn't get, because how would you fix a Hackintosh with a .exe file?). Anyway, now I've got two macs, a notebook (with wi-fi connection) and a desktop Hack Yosemite 10.10.5 (with no connection), and I need to find a solution.

So, my Hack is COMPLETELY NEW and IT BOOTS ONLY IF I USE FLAGS LIKE DART=0 or NV_DISABLE=1. Can someone, please, from scratch (like, literally from the point where you TURN ON your brand new Hackintosh), explain me HOW CAN I ACCESS THE AREA WHERE YOU CHANGE THOSE PATCHES? Does it have to be through Clover Configurator? Does Clover Configurator work only when you use Clover to boot your system? Do i have to download any other program to do it?

I know about computer codes as much as a 2 year old child knows about the solar system and after a few days going through this whole process, this is really bugging me. (i totally understand why this emoji is here). I don't know, it must be something really easy for most of you, but this is like learning Chinese in a week to me.

Thank you!
