Hi,
Here is my laptop specifications:

Model: Dell XPS L502X ( 2011 model )
Processor: Intel Core i5-2450M
Motherboard: DELL 0MY6GN
Motherboard Chipset: Intel HM67 (Cougar Point) [B3]
Intel Graphics - Intel HD 3000
Video Chipset Codename - Sandy Bridge GT2+
Video Card - Intel Sandy Bridge-MB GT2+ - Integrated Graphics Controller [D2/J1/Q0] [DELL]
Nvidia: GT540M
Wi-FI: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 BGN 1x2 HMC
Bluetooth - Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)
Current OS: Windows 10, GPT Partition type
BIOS: Fully unlocked custom BIO. UEFI boot mode enabled.

I want to install el capitan to use latest xcode for development. I tried a lot of different ways and boot flags and could only reach the boot screen. In verbose mode, all i got is IOBluetooth* Missing bluetooth controller error, everytime.

I tried Yosemite 10.10.5 also, it also gave me the same error.

Some solutions mentioned booting with -s flag and removing some AppleIntelHD* and AppleIntelF* from
/System/Library/Extensions. But i dont get a terminal or interrupt when i use -s boot argument from clover boot menu

Please help. I went through almost all the guides, tried all boot flags, Clover Configurator options etc.

Mr. RehabMan, I have gone through this guide. But I am getting the same error. I am using a USB 3.0 pen drive. Does this cause any problems?

You should use a USB2 stick and USB2 since your USB3 controller is not likely to be supported, if at all.

I have the same notebook and I never got it to boot on clover. Hangs on "boot1: /boot5".
Still you can use the old unibeast to install Yosemite on Chimera.

WiFi won't work until you change your hardware and audio works with VoodooHDA.

I really wish I could boot it with clover to install El Capitan.

The Clover wiki has information on common boot issues...

I need wifi! So you have Yosemite running with atleast wifi working ?
Please share the steps.
