Successfully updated from 10.11.6 to 10.12 (final) on BRIX GB-BXi5-4570R!

*Changed system definition to iMAC 15,1 (Multibeast) for App store to allow download
*Installed Clover 2.3k_r3716 (3751 and 3761 boot looped my system)

-Followed Tony Mac's guide:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/direct-update-to-macos-sierra-using-clover.201465/

-For #2, downloaded FakeSMC, RTL8111, NullCPUPowerManagement, copied to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/

-Used link from Headkaze and downloaded HFSPlus.efi
https://github.com/JrCs/CloverGrowerPro/blob/master/Files/HFSPlus/X64/HFSPlus.efi?raw=true
Copy HFSPlus.efi to EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI

-Start upgrade, system will reboot.
Highlight "Boot macOS Install", press space bar and select these options:
*Boot without caches
*Inject kexts
*Verbose
*Start with above options

Newest version of clover removed boot without cache and inject next option and I'm having a lot of issues upgrading my brix i7 5775. I'm coming from 10.11.6 and followed the instructions as best I could but get stuck at the spinning colored cursor after the grey apple logo.

Grey screen and spinning wheel while upgrading is usually caused by not having FakeSMC.kext in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.

I added FakeSMC, RealtekRTL8111, and NullCPUPowerManagement into Other already. Still doing it.
 
Alright folks I'm spinning my wheels here. Managed to update to Sierra but now I am unable to boot unless I am in safe mode. I looked up some info and after I disabled VTd in the bios the apple logo comes up with the loading bar which reaches about 98% of the way then the system locks up. If VTd is enabled, I get only half way with the progress bar.

-v says something about AppleHDADriver. I am not sure if this means it is missing or what. I dont know how else to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.

I cant boot anymore. I can't collect anymore information except the picture I attached of booting using -v. I use to be able to boot into safe mode but I just tried and it doesnt work. I pressed F2 F4 and that doesnt seem to be doing anything.

You will need to still provide verbose boot photo and the EFI/Clover you're trying to use.
You should have a working USB that can be used to boot your system, or if you're trying to boot from USB, it should be quite easy to collect EFI/Clover from that USB and upload it.

I don't have a working USB. My system has been working flawlessly for months and in that time I have lost my only 8gb usb drive. I posted a pic of the system in verbose mode. I'll see if I can find another USB drive.

Then in order to provide the files required, you would need to attach the HDD to a working computer such that you can upload the data.

Your verbose boot shows a pile of potential causes... some of which might be mistakes on your system partition, which would not even be diagnosable with EFI/Clover.
 
Anyone ever put 32GB of RAM into the 4770R Brix Pro?

I hit my head up against the 16GB RAM recently and wondered if it was possible to put it in and recognize it in macOS. I don't have this kind of RAM laying around and wondered if anyone else has tried it.

Also, there's some new Brix's on the way... http://www.gigabyte.us/Mini-PcBarebone/GB-BNi7HG6-1060-rev-10
Would love a dedicated GPU, but not sure how this would work with macOS and hackintoshing.
