[Guide] Intel NUC7/NUC8 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7Bxx,NUC8i7Bxx,etc)

Can someone help me, as I have read so many posts and I still don't have a solution.

I'm running NUC 7I7 and I was able to get the os installed to where I can select the boot from os drive. When I select that it takes me to the select language screen but my mouse and key board won't work. Then I made some changes and now when I select the OS drive it takes me to the mac logo and progress bar where it sits forever.

If I go back to the other plist file I can get to the os setup screen but with no USB support. Please help as I feel that I'm very close to getting this working. Thank you.

I'm running the plist file from the rehab man guide.

I get to step 8 on post #2 and this is where I'm stuck.
So are you using the laptop guide or this guide to attempt install? This guide was written with your model in mind. No mouse or keyboard has been lack of a USB kext on the boot drive for me, adding USBinjectall.kext took care of it.
 
I just looked again into your config file. I was able to get the internal mics to work, but your config was unstable so I went back to my config (where the mics won't work). I tried to compare your settings to mine and adjusted them but the mics won't work on mine.

Can you show me what a successful plist file should look like? I feel like its not injecting the kext noted above. thanks.

I used the rehabman guide for the nuc 7i7.

If you post yours, maybe remove the Symbios section out if you like, I can see if I can help. No guarantees though because I have no way to test it once I'm done.

I don't have an NUC7 but these are config.plists from Rehabman's NUc guide, one for install and then another for once install is complete and you are setting up the hard drive for stand alone boot. If they don't work it may be because of bios updates. You can try adding these values to them under ACPI/DSDT/Patched using Text Wrangler of Plist Edit Pro if you are still having issues.

<string>Fix NUC BIOS DSDT Device(RTC)</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>oAqTU1RBUwE=</data>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>oAqRCv8L//8=</data>
</dict>
In Xcode it looks like this:

Please make sure you have these specific drivers and kexts installed on your boot drive and if you are trying to install above Mojave 14.2 make sure your version of clover is current. Rehabman's version won't work.

I used Sevift‘s config file, so there has been a misunderstanding. With his config file, which is based on a nuc7 the internal mic works but due to different settings he/she set it’s not stable on my current system.

I looked at the one Sevit uploaded and it has more lines in it set null (remmed out with #) than it has active....not pretty at all. I might be able to tweak yours to get the microphone to work. Plenty of USB microphones out there as well.

Sure, here they are. I removed the Serialnumber and SmUUID from my config file, so that you know. My config file is basically Rehabmans, from the guide, I haven't change anything at this point except for direct boot.

That would be great. Thanks in advance.
