2017-7-17:success to get audio work under Bioss v1.0.1. Clover UEFI boot now make perfect!
inject usb by ssdt file ,fix bluetooth missing affter wake up.
move hardware driver kext install to L/E
Becarefull,my ACPI files only work perfect on my machine!!(Specially all SSDT-*.aml),for audio/backlight control you have to build them.
All files attach as 2017-7-17.zip

2017-5-19 Updated:Still legacy.Direct update to 12.0.5,perfect work.

2017-4-8 Updated:attach stable *.aml files and kext for 12.0.4(backlight control)
see backlightcontrol.zip

2017-4-4 Updated(for Clover UEFI or legacy clover):
It's need:

follow the guide to make install media on your USB disk.
take the related files from this guide-https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-dell-inspiron-15-7559-sierra-install-10-12-4-nvidia.201576/
but to legacy boot : it's different to me laptop:the audio driver-both AppleHDA.kext and Commandcode.kext work on 10.11.6 still work!(don't need voodoo driver).If you boot with Clover EFI it need voodoo (test from my ver.1.0.1UEFI)
for backlightcontrol follow here(https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...lightinjector-kext.218222/page-4#post-1469175).
The EFI file about 10.12.4 will not attach here before tested stable so you need to work follow the related guides.

2017-1-21 Updated(for Clover UEFI boot):
It's need:
BIOS version 1.0.1

Rmoved power charge and any usb devices befor power on
BIOS setting same as the guide,if you still faile to boot,setting bios like this:
in boot option only left clover (disable others)


2017-1-21 Updated:
Boot with clover legacy--A excessive Solution to this laptop (i5-6300HQ)

Thanks for your time and effort, man.

Have you tested this same EFI folder for running Sierra installation?

I have tried your EFI folder, however I am stuck in the same 2 lines of death.

Make sure you add memory details to config.plist/SMBIOS/Memory.
Read the Clover documentation.

Happy new year, man!

Were you able to try it? I am still stumbling here. Unable to boot the installer. The 2nd memory module should arrive next week. After I try it, I will let you know the results.

Happy new year! I was try it ,it seems not work for me.by the way,Clover UEFI boot stil need to make success by reboot twice to enable/disable the legacy boot.It seems to do with the clover efi driver,waiting your test and looking for sulotion yet.

No way, man... The second memory module arrived yesterday and I installed it, but still can't boot the installer.

The i5 versions definitely has something different than the i7 version the folks got success in installing.

Do you have the correct memory details in config.plist/SMBIOS/Memory?
