No details on screen resolution in your profile. Make sure it is added to your profile/signature.
Chipset is 6-series. Make sure that is reflected in your profile/signature.
Also, no information on Clover legacy vs. Clover UEFI...
Sorry again, I've added now. It's Clover Legacy, it's the one recommended for 6-series right? Thanks!
 
I created the USB installer following the laptop guide but the same occurs, both with and without Intel Injected. I see the Apple logo, the loading bar, it completes loading and then display is turned off.

Attached the CLOVER folder that I created that way.

Remove IntelGraphicsFixup.kext and Lilu.kext. Those kexts do no apply to your hardware. Remove the FakeSMC sensor kexts. They are not needed for installation (or even after).

If you suspect a graphics problem, you can use an invalid FakeID (0x12345678). You can change it in Clover options -> Graphics injector.

But it is clear you're not using this config.plist (eg. not booting from the EFI/Clover you attached). That setup would not allow you to boot into install_osx since HFSPlus.efi is missing from drivers64UEFI.

I thought I would not need the HFSPlus.efi because I'm using Clover Legacy. I'm removing the kexts you said and will try again.

From the guide:

Note: For Clover legacy, HFSPlus.efi is built-in (Clover legacy loads no drivers from drivers64UEFI anyway)

Still getting the same result. I've attached the current Clover folder and will try to use an invalid FakeID. Also attached two images, the final image before going totally to the black screen (display off) and another that hangs for a while, it took more than minutes loading before going to the black screen.

Your signature does not specify Clover legacy. Clover UEFI is assumed when Clover legacy is not specified...

From where did you download macOS?
On what hardware did you create your USB installer?

Added to the signature, isn't a rule to use Clover EFI on Intel 5 and 6 families?

I downloaded and created the installer from my desktop that's in my signature. I've successfully installed OS X on this laptop in the past, not sure if it was 10.10 or 10.09. Maybe I could try to create an installer with a previous version of MacOS and see how it goes?

Many 6-series laptops have UEFI.

I think FakeID/IntelGFX has no effect when NoDefaultProperties=true is set...

I think my laptop does not have UEFI, there's nothing related to UEFI in setup/bios.

Where do you see that "NoDefaultProperties=true" is set and how to remove it?

I see that on config.plist

Code:
<dict>
        <key>NoDefaultProperties</key>

Should I remove everything in this block?

Look in your config.plist.
Always use a plist editor such as Xcode or PlistEdit Pro.

Thanks, sorry to insist, but just to know...

Wouldn't changing this:
Code:
    <dict>
        <key>NoDefaultProperties</key>
        <true/>

To:
Code:
    <dict>
        <key>NoDefaultProperties</key>
        <false/>

Do the job?

Edit: I changed this way but got the same result.
