Did you boot without cache? did you put kexts in EFI/Clover/kexts/other? How does your L/E look?

Thank you for your post, I was having the grey screen/beachball, added FakeSMC viola all good with the install.

Without FakeSMC in EFI/Clover/kexts/other you will not be able to enter the installer.

I'm trying to install. When I click restart on the installation program, an extra HD in clover with Macos install doesn't show up.
What to do about that?

Update to latest Clover.

After the install do I need to keep "without caches" or can i uncheck that? What does that actually do?

Hey guys, I tried this install upgrading from El Capitan 10.11.6

only put FakeSMC in the /other folder, and had newest clover installed

Tried without cache, with cache, boot with injected kext, boot with selected options, all of them just pause on a black screen with the apple logo (white). I don't even see a loading or progress bar.

When i boot from verbose I can't see the beginning of the log, it scrolls down and misses the important parts and I can't scroll back up again to look at them. How do I access these logs?
I'm looking in /var/logs but i don't see anything here

Thanks

Hi guys,

Just updated from El Capitan to Sierra using latest Clover. The update wouldn't go through unless nv_disable=1 was selected (otherwise screen would go "no signal" after proceeding with installation).

Sierra has installed ok, but again screen goes "no signal" after the Apple logo when using default settings. The only way I can get into the system is with nv_disable=1.

I've updated the Nvidia Drivers after installation but nothing has changed. Currently screen resolution and performance are extremely low, even hard to write this post .

Any idea where to look for for a fix?

Many thanks .


EDIT:

I think I fixed it by installing "Nvidia fix" from MultiBeast.

Not a help thread. Please post your request for help in the Sierra Desktop Support forum section.

Is this the proper upgrade method for going from Sierra to HIgh Sierra as well? I’m trying to find the best way to do so.

Thanks.

Established Clover users on OS X El Capitan who wish to update directly to macOS Sierra can do so just like a regular Mac would. This fully native method requires no USB creation or preparation.​

I've just updated my Gigabyte Barebone directly from Yosemite to Sierra using the guide in the first post without any problem.
Thanks a lot!
