Black screen when booting with Clover

Status
Not open for further replies.
As in reinstalling hackintosh? Because I do boot through a USB

Not reinstalling. Just start booting from USB, once you reach the clover screen instead of selecting installer USB partition choose your hard disk partition for continuing booting.
 
I think that's what i always do. There are 3 option Install OS X, boot into OS X and recovery mode

Ya There is no PatchVBIOS in Graphics Injector menu

So you have not installed Clover to HDD/SSD?? Always booting from USB??

Yes. After posting the replay only i remembered that only Load VBIOS option is there.
 
Sorry very confused here. I did install to HD because I followed a tutorial. I just booted into the HDD and that brings up to Clover menu I just always thought you needed the USB.

Anyways, Do you think I should reinstall since it isn't working? The only problem I have with this is I always get this far and I reinstall thinking I know what to do. And what I did to get it to work last time, doesn't work this time(sorry for english )

Always booting from USB is not a good choice. Once the installation got completed from USB, install clover to HDD so that you can boot without USB's help.

If you have enabled the PatchVBios option on the config.plist which is present on your USB, then connect the USB to another MAC OS X machine and edit the config.plist file.
 
PatchVbios was enabled from the clover I installed onto my computer(from the post-installation) using clover configurator

PatchVBIOS is NOT enabled on my usb though

EDIT: I'm just going to reinstall will you still be here in 20 min. It's hard to find support for mackintosh and you've been very helpful

Then you will be able to boot with USB, because when you are booting from USB the config.plist will load from USB only not from HDD's EFI partition.

OK. Do a fresh installation. Meanwhile just post your config.plist here.
 
hmmm. Then why can't I boot? I get a black screen.
 
ok will do! will you still be here in 20 min? like i said help is hard to come by
