Thanks.

Followed every step, and read through multiple times and man, @Rehabman, you are great. Am able to boot into clover El Capitan installer without any boot args.
My only issue is, no disks show up in diskutility.

Specs:
Envy dv6t-7300
Processor: 3630QM core i7
Storage: 750GB
OS: Windows 10
Bios: UEFI

Hi, I followed this guide (Option 1 MBR) and everything should be okay, but when I try to boot installer I get stuck on "fakesmckeystore started" and that's all.
Maybe you guys know where the problem is? Thank you in advance.

You need to partition your drive and format in Disk Utility.

If you're trying to preserve a Windows install, you should also read the related material (linked from post #2)

Boot verbose, show photo. Post EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).

So, I swapped over to OsxAptioDrvFix-2.efi and that fixed my AMFILoadTrustedKey crash. Now I have it freezing at different spots. Sometimes it'll go all the way down to loading the voodoops2trackpad kext, way past the CPUSensors. The rest of the time, it'll freeze at CPUSensors or at AirPort stuff. I have the SMBios of a Macbook Air 5,2. Should I try MacBook Pro 8,2 or 9,2 or something similar?

Updated clover zip.

Updated clover zip.

The kexts in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other are not per guide. Use only the kexts mentioned and linked by the guide.

Your config.plist is also not one linked by the guide.

Read the guide carefully.

You are looking at a different file than the one you just uploaded.

I enabled the _OSI -> XOSI patch, but still no dice. Is there still something wrong with my config.plist?

Keep in mind you also need the SSDT that defines the XOSI method.

It is not valid to use the _OSI->XOSI patch without it (causes ACPI abort when _OSI is called).

In all replies...

Yeah, I have SSDT.aml in ACPI/patched and USBInjectAll.kext in my kexts folder. Here is my verbose screenshot. Apologies for it being upside down its uploading like that for some reason...
