@bozma88 - Thank you for putting this guide together. Paired with
@RehabMan detailed guides, I was motivated enough to purchase the exact same configuration XPS 9360 and go all in. I installed Mac OS X on a Dell Mini 9 back in the day, but that was cake compared to this process. Unfortunately, I have hit a rough patch. Let me do my best to catch you up to speed in hopes of getting some help from the community here.
I followed all the guides to the T. I had Mac OS X running. Patched all the kexts, mounted the EFI etc etc. However, I could only boot from the boot menu via USB. I was double checking everything and realized that I had installed Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4! Since I also plan to use this as my daily driver, I did not want to run into any unexpected crashes in the future, therefore, I decided to get the correct OS Sierra version (10.12.3) supported in this guide and restart the entire process.
During the install process, I boot to Clover via USB and I start an install (with verbose selected). I click through the install process and the install process goes almost all the way through, however, when it says "6 seconds remaining" the computer restarts and goes back to the select language screen (which is the beginning of the install process). I restart the computer, but I cannot reenter the Clover menu to enter what
@RehabMan refers to as Phase 2. I've tried at least a half dozen times, switched USB installers, tried MBR and GPT partitions, but it does the same thing over and over again.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Disclaimer, I'm a noob and I don't understand the lingo, but I can follow directions
EDIT: Success. I installed Clover via legacy instructions and installed Mac with verbose option selected. Everything seems to be functioning well
except one problem. If I am using the laptop with the computer plugged into an outlet and I remove the plug, the computer freezes and requires a force reboot. Conversely, if the laptop is on battery power and I plug it in, the same thing happens. Any suggestions?
