Hey there folks. I'm an absolute beginner at this stuff. I built my Hack with Yosemite and it works flawlessly. Now I'm trying to upgrade (ideally to High Sierra, but started with El Cap), and I'm completely lost.
I followed all the directions to install El Cap, but not the only way to boot into it is to use the -x flag. Any other way it gives me a prohibited symbol.
My NVIDIA Driver is giving me a black screen (so I use the nv_disable=1)
And my rear USBs aren't working.
I hear all of these things are fairly common, but I have no idea how to fix them. Most of the advice I see involved loading something into a mounted EFI folder, but I can't mount it in safe mode.
Please help me! I'm a decently fast learner, but I am a beginner, so if you're mentioning folders or commands, please be as specific as you can so I can hopefully properly follow.
Thank you so much!!

I included a few photos of the random verbose mode errors I got. It's all greek to me.
