Isn't verde.kext for ATI (oops, AMD) cards?
 
Yes it is. Sorry, it wasn't clear in your first post that you were actually using an NVIDIA model. Or maybe I read too fast :D.

Using Clover, you should try with or w/o InjectNvidia. If you installed webdrivers, make sure that you're using nvda_drv=1 in your boot-args.
 
You didn't read too fast, it's just that I added the GPU info after you posted your answer (so it's my fault).

So I tried with InjectNvidia (off by default, on didn't work too). And I tried with and w/o nvda_drv=1, no effect, same reaction (progress bar and loading icon that appears at around 50% and stays there).

I think it's some sort of driver problem because it happened just after I rebooted after the update. Is there a way to "restore" so 10.10.1 without reinstalling?
 
Hum… maybe a version number problem.

Please run this in the terminal :

Code:
sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext/Contents/info.plist

Search for this :

Code:
                        <key>NVDARequiredOS</key>
                        <string>14F1021</string>

The 14F1021 must match your current OS X 10.10.5 build number. You can see it by typing this :

Code:
sw_vers

If the build number doesn't match, you'll have to edit the NVDAStartup.kext/Contents/info.plist and change it then reinstall it in S/L/E, repair permissions and rebuild system cache using Kext Wizard for instance.
 
Info.plist says 14F27, same for SystemVersion.plist, so I guess it's good

I will try the repair permissions thing
 
Ok so I did the permissions repair thing, it fnound some stuff to repair, but it still doesn't boot, exactly as before :'(
Any other idea?
 
Is there a way to "restore" to 10.10.1 without reinstalling?
 
it really works, thanks very much

here is how to:
use -v -s booting args to boot into single user mode
mount -o update /
cd /system/library/Extension/AMDRadeonX4000.kext
edit the info.plist under kext by vi or other text editor
save your edit then reboot with -v -x (into safe mode)
login then use kext wizard to rebuild the cache (with out 3d acceleration,it's very very lag...:beachball:)
after kext rebuild , reboot, all down and it works!:lol:

This was the solution to my pain :D love u Man U r the best!!! Edited the info.plist and my Radeon hd7770 is working like a charm. Big big thanks was already desperate.
 
Hi.

I'm on El Capitan 10.11.4.

I would like to confirm that on my

HIS 7750 (Device ID: 0x683f)

editing the Info.plist in /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX4000.kext/Contents/

removes the black screen / artefacts issue.

Cheers.
Michael
