You did not follow the guide.

You did not follow the guide.

i did, i followed the same guide for z50-70, and i have successfully installed el capitan in my z50-70. i believe only difference is the config.plist, the kexts and which options to choose in clover. i'll try doing it again, will follow step by step in case i missed anything

APFS.efi?

in the drivers64UEFI folder, there are a lot more files than:

FSInject-64.efi
HFSPLus.efi
OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi
OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi

should i leave them there? or should there be only those 4 files?

also, for the XPS 9530, i seee a lot of users using OsxAptioFixDrv2-64.efi, this is what i should use also?

thanks

i did,

You did not.
Your config.plist is not from my guide. And after seeing that (obvious you didn't follow the guide), I didn't even bother to check anything else.

am i not supposed to use the dark-void's installation config.plist?

which one should i use? config_HD4600_4400_4200.plist? i already tried that as well, still doesn't work


i know plist files are in your guide, but i always thought i should use plist depending on the system. most guides provide their own installation plist, that's why i thought i should use those.

i'll try again, following all, just your guide and all your files/tools

That file appears to depend on specific content in ACPI/patched.
I usually recommend that patched ACPI is not used for installation (instead, keep things simple).

No idea when you don't provide any "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

hi @RehabMan , i used your 4600_4400_4200 plist. DVMT pre-alloc is 128mb, also tried 160mb, same results

would get this verbose screen, then blank screen with blinking cursor, blinking every 30 seconds, lasted for more than 10 minutes, then a blank screen without back light.

How do you know DVMT-prealloc is 128mb?
Your config.plist has no patch for DVMT-prealloc 128mb or 160mb...
This guide uses a different config.plist... you should check that you're following post #1 instructions, and check the config.plist for the DVMT-prealloc assumed.
