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

[GUIDE] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover UEFI

I Tryd
check "Install for UEFI booting only", "Install Clover in the ESP" will automatically select
- check "Bluemac" from Themes (the config.plist files I provide use this theme)
- check "OsxAptioFixDrv-64" from Drivers64UEFI
- it can be downloaded from here…
- copy it to /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI
- INSTALLED THE OTHER KEXT


what do i miss?

Booting from the Hardrive doesn't work…
from the installer on the stick bringst that: efi boot loaded…
bootfile path System/Libary/CoreServices/boot.efi
Boot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds before exiting…


Post EFI folder from your HDD EFI partition.

Im not that far, my idea was to first get a running USB Stick and then go further to the HD.

the efi folder on the stick is around 3 MB

If you're testing with USB, why do you say "booting from HDD doesn't work"?

You have no kexts in Clover/kexts/10.10.

Stick is a Unibeast Stick with 10.10

in the bios i select boot from usb
so i boot from the usb
then i can choose a volume to go further (boot 2) to do so i have to choose stick or the hd.

to install OS X i select the usb stick and start the install - runs perfekt installation works
restart again via stick selecting for boot 2 the hd - works
insolent the missing driver via multicast now everything is fine

But i want to run it via clover!!!
and the Problem is my clover Stick
That one does not work!!!

Re-create your USB stick using the 'createinstallmedia' method. Then there will be no doubt about legacy vs. UEFI boot.

And your profile/signature indicates nothing of laptop hardware details.

Stupid question - i this tutorial there is no info about the Partition and GUID/MBR . Am i right Stick 1 Partition + GUID?
What name for the USB Partition?

To build the HP Stick the way is bit different (create the 2 partitions,…)

Read the guide carefully.

Quoting the guide:
...
Use Disk Utility to partition your USB. Partition format can be MBR or GPT but beware that some computers will not boot UEFI to a GPT USB.

Sorry…

so i did with MBT - it did not start
i did with GUID - it does not even get black screen

I have no idea what im missing

i think the prolem must be on something inside the Clover Installer:
UEFI booting only
Install Clover in the ESP
Bluemac
OsxAptioFixDrv-64

but he does not boot from it
