My Laptop won't boot any EFI Shells

Did you create the USB correctly? BOOTX64.efi must be placed at /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi. Some guides have it wrong at /BOOT/BOOTX64.efi, which won't work.

I will take a look at it tomorrow

Have a quick poll here. What versions of Clover are you using to boot the machine?

I am still on 3320. Tried 3330 once, it won't boot. And tried 3726 today, it seems to be able to boot but it boots to a screen very dark and the brightness keys not work anymore. In the send I reverted back to 3320.

The guide always said install the latest version of Clover, which seems to be a risk now.

Changed my DVMT according to http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-intel-hd-graphics-5500-on-os-x-yosemite-10-10-3.162062 but windows shows 192MB if i set to 0x3 and every other variable.

If i try to boot with inject intel this happens

stucks there and goes black after some minutes

but windows shows 192MB

You didn't read the FAQ very carefully...

IMPORTANT!: Contrary to many of the guides you will read, Windows is NOT a valid way to determine what DVMT-prealloc is set to. There is no correlation, especially with Windows 10.

Keep in mind UHD requires the pixel clock patch (patched IOKit).

Comments:
- Your SMBIOS is being truncated. The ioreg shows MacBookAir7 instead of your intended model. Use a shorter SMBIOS.
- IGPU PM is not implemented (eg. ACPI not patched correctly with GFX0->IGPU rename)
- try to use native CPU related SSDTs instead of replacing them with Generate=true (don't drop them or patch as needed, place in ACPI/patched)
- backlight control is not implemented correctly (see guide in this forum)
- remove FixRegions

Alright, I started from scratch, re-dumped and re-patched my DSDTs and SSDTs, and things are going really well. Still trying to to grok the new USB standards for 10.11.6 because I'm losing BT after sleep, but I just need to read the guide a few more times.

So those aside, what SMBIOS are people using for the Broadwell chip in the 9343 if MacBookAir7,x (and presumably MacbookProX,X) are being truncated? I'm using an iMac SMBIOS right now for debugging.

I have installed new Security Update 2016-001 from apple store and my system won't boot now. Did you guys have some problem after that update?
