10.12.6 security update broke my system, gave up a while, trying again

Also, this is my current SLE after putting in new Lilu and whatever green and here are the drivers currently active in clover:

 

[P1LGRIM]

Still old Lilu.kext.
NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext is deprecated - Replaced by WhateverGreen.kext.
IntelGraphicsFixup.kext is deprecated - Replaced by WhateverGreen.kext.

Progress! Deleted the deprecated Kexts and now it logs in without safe mode for first time in over a year.

It seems to only be recognizing the internal intel graphics though. In system report I see the following under graphics.

Do you have suggestions on how to get the GTX 1050 working?

Thanks so much P1LGRIM.

Web drivers are matched to OS build numbers, you must install the correct version.
Each time that you install an update that changes the build number the web drivers "break".

Try this script https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/nvidia-update-simple-way-to-install-nvidia-web-drivers.244987/

Well...that code did seem to work but graphics still appears to be laggy and broken. I’ll keep at it. Have to go coach my son’s little league but I’ll try some more fixes when I get back. Thanks again for the help so far.

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.

Thanks for this. I tried all of this...it seems my motherboard does need NVRAM emulation so I made sure that driver was there, I have the correct webdrivers installed (and reinstalled them using the script you suggested, nv_disable=1 is not being used, Nvidiaweb=true is there (via clover configurator), I added csractiveconfig=0x67, and as previously discussed I added the latest versions of the Lilu.kext and whatevergreen.kext. Despite all this, and several hours of reading and testing, while I can get it to boot in on the Nvidia web drivers, the graphics aren’t working. Only the IGFX monitor is detected and the graphics are lagging and garbled (as in the past before I’d apply the web driver fixed). That said, in system report under graphics, the Nvidia card is detected...it’s just not putting anything out to it’s monitors.

Is it possible to boot to intel 530 primarily (I have to check injectintel to actually get it to boot) and have the Nvidia card work together? If not I’m wondering if maybe I should try to put my old gt740 card back in and try to run it with the two pci cards instead? I unfortunately need 3 monitors for work so need to have two graphics outputs working.

Thanks again for your help, and I apologize for my ignorance. I’m trying and really hoping to get my OSX install working again!

zip your /EFI folder and attach it.

Just got home from work. Here is my zipped EFI folder. Thanks so much for all your help!

Here is my zipped EFI folder.

That is not your /EFI folder, it looks like the contents of an EFI partition that does not have Clover installed on it.
