Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover

[tebogo]

Tried "you need to mount the EFI then update as suggested." but still no macOS install option in Clover Boot menu.
I use UEFI bios, so Clover install does not give the option to update bootfiles.

Solved:
entry in Config.plist blocked to show the macOS install option

<key>Scan</key>
<dict>
<key>Entries</key>
<false/>

must be:

<key>Scan</key>
<dict>
<key>Entries</key>
<true/>

I'm trying to update one of my machines to Sierra, and it just refuses to cooperate. I've tried everything mentioned in this thread, and I'm still getting stuck at

busy timeout[0], (240s), kextd wait(0): 'AppleACPICPU'

This is on a Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H-A motherboard with an i3-4330 CPU (using HD 4600 graphics). It runs El Capitan just fine, so I'm stumped.

Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover​

...

When the clover boot screen appears, there is no option to boot Mac OS X - am I doing something wrong?

Is it possible to use this direct update method but install Sierra on a different drive?

 

[Stork]

No. Use the UniBeast USB Installation thumb drive.

Hi guys! Just updated my hackintosh from 10.8 (Mountain Lion) to 10.12. Yeah, kind of a big update but it went really fine. Boots up without any problem and seems to run smooth. Only problem is that the sound and internet (ethernet) doesnt work.
I'm guessing I am supposed to use multibeast somehow, but can't seem to find out how really. Tried to install the drivers on a USB-stick but got a error. It's been years since I last used multibeast, so cant remember anything
Does anybody have any idiot proof advice for me?

(btw: I have a GA-Z77-DS3H)

EDIT: Never mind, I found out how to install. But I cant get it to work. The internet driver doesnt appear in the extension map in finder when I install it. And the audio drivers doesnt do a thing.

Hello everyone:
follow steps by Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover
when my 10.11 trying to update 10.12, i don't find "macOS install option", too.
i also update clover UEFI ver. to lastest (v2.3k_r3974). and i see it!
But trying to setup and do something, it's still not woking or getting wrong...

I found if use CLOVER UEFI Bootloader USB( lastest v2.3k_r3974) to BOOT PC,
then choose "macOS install option"and go to update !
u wii see Sierra in pc ^^

after setup, don't forget to use Clover Configurator to edit /EFI/Clover/config.plist and kexts
OR copy all USB-EFI FILEs to HDD-EFI , and reboot pc by UEFI:HDD

sorry for my English...

Considering the upgrade to Sierra but had a (probably really dumb, I apologize) question: looking at the L/E kexts, there's many there that are 3rd party (logitech, dropbox, etc.) which I assume you don't copy to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/.

But the remaining kexts, save for FakeSMC.kext which is mentioned in this thread, how does one know which kexts to copy over to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ ? All of them?

 

[Stork]

FakeSMC.kext and your Ethernet kext should be sufficient. Check the first post in this thread again.

The cancel hibernate option did the trick for me on asus Z170-A.
