Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover

Hello members,

I can't get to update to macos Sierra.

I have 2 SSDs.

On 1st SSD, I've fully functional EL Capitan hackintosh (def: 14,2) with all required softwares etc.. (so don't want to touch this as of now)
On 2nd SSD, I installed El Capitan hackintosh (def: 14,2) using the above's USD. On this SSD, I'm trying to directly update to Sierra.

What I did (for 2nd SSD),
1. Updated Clover EFI loader to 3763 on USB and on EFI partition of 2nd SSD as well. (Is this correct that I updated on both?)
2. I can see the "Install tacos" drive after system reboot.
3. I selected without caches, Inject Kext to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ (only FakeSMC), load generic nVidia drivers
(Even tried unchecking "without cache with all other options as is)
4. Selected option Boot Mac OS X with selected options

After this, I'm getting a black screen with mouse cursor on top left corner. Please find attached screenshot.

With all these steps, I still cannot get the EL Capitan upgraded to Sierra.

Thanks for looking into it and for the helpful advice.

I'm getting a screen issue like this! Any solutions?
 
i used fakeSMC in other folder for updation because this Direct update Guide but i also installed FakeSMC kext in L/E folder that's why i asked to remove form EFI/Clover/Kext/other folder. My Patched AppleHDA also not working now i used VoodooHDA for sound.
Are you not using Clover ? I think if you did not experience any issue then you should leave as it is.

Some users have reported success using this version of clover perhaps you could give it a try!
