<< Solved >> Cannot boot after install latest nVidia drivers

[biskero]

Hi,
I installed the latest nVidia drivers in addition to have the nVidia web driver already installed and was working. So not sure why I did it !!!!!
Everything was working fine!!! kind of desperate and mad at myself !

I downloaded from https://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html

So I cannot boot anymore into my hackintosh with macOS Sierra.

This is what I have in the Options:
Boot Args: nvda_drv=1 shikigva=12 darkwake=0 npci=0x3000 -v slide=0

I tried to set nv_disable=1 and uncheck the nvidia web driver in the Graphics Injector but I cannot pass a PCI configuration during boot.
If I change to other options for the graphics during boot it cannot read the Volume and shutsdown.

Any suggestions?
Please give me instruction step by step because is quite sometime that I am trying to fix it.

is ti possible that nVidia drivers overwrite something in the EFI?
So can I just copy over what I have on the USB stick that I used for the installation?

Kind of desperate since nothing is working!
thx

Yes.

Thanks for the info.

So what you suggest me to do?
Every options I chose on the Clover boot did not work, to me seams that the nvidia driver install overwrote some settings and now Clover does not know what to do.

You thin copying over the EFI would help?
thx

Dependencies :
1. Native NVRAM support or an emulation of same - Test
2. At least 10.12.4.
3. The correct web drivers matched to the OS build number.
4. No use of nv_disable=1.
5. NvidiaWeb=true in config.plist.
6. May need SIP fully disabled - CsrActiveConfig=0x67.
7. May need latest Lilu.kext and WhatEverGreen.kext.

The installation is 10.12.6 Sierra.

I have only access via rescue mode terminal how can I edit files?
I can mount the EFI partition and see what is inside
thx

Boot from your USB flash drive and at the Clover menu select your hard drive and boot.

 

[biskero]

it does not boot !
@ the clover screen I have the:
Install OS from USB
Boot from Hackintosh
Rescue Mode option

boot from hackintosh gets to a PCI configuration and than shutdown

 

[biskero]

I have the clover v 2.4k rev 4444, macOS Sierra installed Sept 2018 as MacPro6.1, mother board and CPU are on my profile.

You can attach the drive to another Mac or Hack to fix it.
Or
Restore your backup to before the problem occurred.
Or
Reinstall.
