Hi until a few weeks ago my hackintosh worked perfectly and the clover started from "Uefi Os HD ....". at some point the clover did not start anymore, so I made a usb pen with unibeast and clover and "Macintosh HD" work fine .. only that no more boot options come up with the word "UefiOs Hd ....". I tried installing the clover pack on the hd, even with multibeasts but nothing, the clover part only with the usb pen attached to the pc.
On boot options i see " windows boot manager
UefiUsbstick
P3:hitaci.... (the HDD complete where is installed sierra and windows, but first i see Also UEFi os hitaci... and now no)

I have already tried to copy the EFI partition folder of the usb pen into the EFI partition of the Sierra HD
 
perhaps your windows installation has overwritten the EFI. you need to format the partition in OSX and install clover

Download EasyUEFI for windows, you can browse to '/efi/clover/cloverx64.efi' on the partition where you installed Clover and add it to your firmware's boot menu in the same way the Windows installer adds 'windows boot manager'. Then you will never have this problem again.

A UEFI operating system will not overwrite another's folder in the EFI System Partition (unless using the same folder name). The file /efi/boot/bootx64.efi is for booting from removable media and as a fallback when there is no valid path to a loader in the EFI. Some firmwares ship with an NTFS driver and device paths for the microsoft bootloader preloaded, so booting windows (or PE) can succeed even when bootx64.efi is not present at all.

Yesterday I tried to do something I read here on tonymac .. formatting the EFI partition through the terminal .. Now when I'm on a clover I can not access windows (windows boot manager) anymore.
But now that the partition is formatted I can not install it equally with Clover Package and MultiBeast on "Macintosh HD"
 
first of all you need to start being honest.
first you stated that your "hackintosh was working perfectly" now we are dealing with your windows boot configuration which is a different story. obviously you did something with the windows which did mess up your booting and you did not tell us.
do not tell us what you think. just ask exact questions. saying that you "can not install it equally" does not mean anything to us.

boot from USB to OSX
install clover to EFI parition
report back if you have a working OSX
then ask questions about any specific problem you might have

my hackintosh works perfectly even now, only that it needs to be plugged in for the usb pen made with unibeast (created with another pc) to turn it on.
The problem is that I tried all the ways to return to install Clover Bootloader directly on the main HD to start it as I always did, but without positive feedback.
So yesterday I did that procedure - diskutil list etc etc - and now I find myself without windows boot manager on "boot option"
Now if I try to install "Clover Package" or "multibeast" during installation with both applications I have an error
prima alla prima partizione (quella da 200 MB) c'era " Name Volume: EFI "

Try this
Code:
$ diskutil mount disk1s1
$ diskutil rename disk1s1 EFI
It won't change the GPT type but hopefully you don't need to to install Clover.
 
you need to format the 200 MB partition with EXFAT and name it EFI then you will be able to install clover again. anyway it wont solve your windows boot problem. is your windows on a separate HDD or not?
