I built my first Hackintosh last week and it's a total mess. I installed Sierra and everything worked fine (the wifi included) but then I installed the NVIDIA Web Drivers and lost my Wifi and I spent nearly 4 hours trying to get it back by running MultiBeast again and again with different drivers so I think I have clogged it with many random files doing it. I also never got it to recognize my 2tb HDD but that's not the problem here.
My question is pretty straight forward. I just want to to a clean swipe of everything. I want to delete everything and start from scratch and I spent 3 hours yesterday trying just that but I wasn't even close to pulling it off.
I have my original Sierra USB stick and I tried maybe 50x times booting from it last night to do a clean install but I never got by the Apple Logo. I can boot from my SSD (Sierra original install) with no problems. I tried almost every settings in Clover, many bootflags but nothing worked.
* Is there any other way to do a clean install?
* What do I have to do to be able to boot from my USB?
* Can I delete all the Clover stuff I did inside Sierra? Could that be the problem? Wrong drivers and stuff?
* I did -v boot many times yesterday and I landed on this error before it freezes = '' ATHR: Unknown locale: 21 ''. I tried googling it and it says that it's related to my TP-WDN4800 wifi card and I can believe it because when my wifi went off for the first time I tried all sorts of things. I installed many drivers from MultiBeast, I copied some IOFamily ktext from my MBP and got some error pop-up sign but I just closed it. Yesterday I deleted that ktext but that didn't help.
Why is this so complicated? I just want to delete everything and start all over. Wipe my SSD clean.
I would seriously be willing to pay somebody to get my Hackintosh up and running. Isn't it possible to do a screen-sharing thing or something and I would donate some $ through PayPal for the help
