Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover

Press spacebar to enter Boot Options and choose Without Caches option and/or Inject Kexts option then Boot Mac OS X with selected options.

I can't see these options in my Clover EFI Bootloader :/

Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover
...

Hi, I want to update my hackintosh directly to Sierra. I installed El Capitan using MultiBeast and UniBeast. It is working fine.
According to the guide, I think I am an existing clover user, right ?
So , I completed the first step. I downloaded the latest clover pkg, which is 2.4k. I just double clicked the pkg and it was installed/updated.

Now I do not understand the second step. Step no 2. It says copy. I do not know where the clover configuration folder is. And what do you mean , when you say open it on your root folder. I tried to find the configuration folder. I can find the folder EFI and inside that I have this folder EFI-BACKUPS. But where is the configuration folder ? And what to copy from where and where to paste it.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My system config is :
iMac(27inch, late 2013)
Processor : 3.3 GHz, intel i5 4590
Memory 8GB
Intel HD Graphics 4600, 1536 MB
Gigabyte H97M-D3H motherboard.
 
For Step 2, open the Terminal and run the following:
Code:
diskutil list
:ch: Note the El Capitan drive's EFI partition's "diskXs1" designation - could be something like "disk1s1";
:ch: Run EFI Mounter v3 to mount the El Captian drive's EFI partition;
:ch: Navigate to EFI > EFI > CLOVER > kexts > Other;
:ch: Add the appropriate kexts as described in Step 2.​
 
For Step 2, open the Terminal and run the following:
Code:
diskutil list
:ch: Note the El Capitan drive's EFI partition's "diskXs1" designation - could be something like "disk1s1";
:ch: Run EFI Mounter v3 to mount the El Captian drive's EFI partition;
:ch: Navigate to EFI > EFI > CLOVER > kexts > Other;
:ch: Add the appropriate kexts as described in Step 2.​

It worked and I was able to update without any issues.

Thanks for your answer/reply.
 
I need some help :(
I have tried to update today, but it will not work. I have updated my clover to latest version, I have copied all the kexts to "other" folder, and then I run the installer. When my Hack reboots, there is no "boot mac osx install" to choose from.

-Anyone?
 
I'm trying to mount EFI partition, but i cant mount efi partition with clover configuration, efi mounter v3 or command line. When i used command line, it said
mount_msdos: /dev/disk0s1: Resource busy
Does anybody know how to solve this problem
My fault, it was mounted under the other name

May sure you update to the latest Clover version if you're going to update to 10.12.4.

Same problem here.
Updated clover to r4045

I only get to chose between ElCapitan and Recovery
