[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

You need to boot without caches first time booting with injection because the kext is not in kernel cache so Clover cannot patch it. Boot without caches is available from Clover menu resulting from pressing space bar.

After you boot, you can rebuild cache so in the future you can boot normally.

Code:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Clover cannot patch a kext it does not load.

See i got it working. But the screen flickers too much. But mostly its black. I managed to see my screen via Teamviewer. To check my system information.

what i want to fix is the flickering that my screen is having.

also i booted without caches. But still also ran terminal and the command you gave me but it says. "No such file or directory"

You must have typed it wrong.
 
I will retry again. Just to be sure, i boot without caches then run that command later i reboot? is that going to fix the flickering in my screen?

Run the command right after booting without caches. It will rebuild your cache.

I cannot predict the future.
 
Stuck at b1f:init_

Laptop Configuration :
Dell Inspiron 15R N5010
2.4GHz Intel 1st Gen Corei3 370M
Intel 1st Gen QE/CI Graphics Arrandale

Internal HDD has 4 partitions -
NTFS Windows C:
NTFS Windows D:
HFS+J OSX Yosemite(Booting with boot0ss -> boot1h2 -> boot(Chameleon) )
HFS+J Empty Drive


Made two primary partitions - Fat32 and HFS+J on my external MBR partitioned HDD(already had a NTFS partition,shrunk it and made the mentioned two) as mentioned in the guide
Screen Shot 2015-12-14 at 16.54.50.png

Clover Installation Options:

->Install boot0ss in the MBR (boot0af got stuck at underscore '_')
-> Clover 64-bit SATA (also tried BlockBIOSIO)
-> Deleted version folders from /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/ and pasted the kexts to Other folder
-> Didn't touch config.plist

With all this I am stuck at " b1f:init_ "

I let it run for 60s hoping it might be scanning devices, still nothing

What should I do now?


One thing bothers me - there is no Hfsplus.efi in any folder of /EFI, is this a problem?The guide says it is included in legacy installation, so I ignored it.
