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

[JulioCamposilvan]

Hello,
I'm trying to install High Sierra in my laptop (Dell Latitude 3540), but after I boot with USB, doesnt show the instaler to choose.
It shows only my windows HD.
I use the file config_HD4600_4400_4200.plist

What did I forget to do?

You probably forgot HFSPlus.efi in drivers64UEFI. Read post #1 carefully.

Hey @RehabMan

I've been trying for two days to run the installer high sierra from a usb. Clover appears, but no installation option comes out. I followed your usb guide and I checked have the apsf.efi and HFSPlus.efi

MBR method with two partitions ...

Some help?

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Solved using usb 2.0 not 3.0

As per post #1:

It is best to use a simple USB2 drive for this purpose.

Thanks Rehab. HFSPlus.efi was missing and when I put it in folder my USB appears to install.

But now I'm getting some erros before install screen shows up. I attached some photos of boot verbose, maybe can help.
You will see a HDD "Samsung macOS", this was a install I did in my desktop before that I will erase in laptop install.

Please tell me if I missed something of "Problem Reporting".

drivers64UEFI is not per guide. Use only OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi OR OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi, not both.
Make sure you enable CSM/legacy boot (might have more useful verbose boot at the "scramble" point).
Use a USB2 stick, try all USB ports.
And you might be having this problem (it is mentioned in the guide):

Left only "OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi" and change boot to legacy mode, now the "scramble" point change to "Window Server Service only ran for 0 seconds".
I tryied to follow the guide of this link, but can't find _OFF from GPU. Has only one in SSDT-4 about power I think. Could you please take a look at the files?

Another thing I notice, in plist file, menu Devices has Nvidia properties. Should I delete them?
Maybe another change in plist?

For the installer, you only need to spoof the graphics device.

You can then address fully disabling the Nvidia in post-install:
