Hello RehabMan,

It's amazing the great work that you have done.

I searched the files with the extension ".kext" unsuccessfully. As I understand these files must be copied to the USB in the "Clover/kexts/Other" route, but I can't found them

RealtekRTL8111.kext (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Realtek-Network)
IntelMausiEthernet.kext (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Intel-Network)
FakePCIID.kext (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Fake-PCI-ID)
FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Fake-PCI-ID)
ProBookAtheros.kext (https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch)
FakeSMC.kext (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-FakeSMC-kozlek)
VoodooPS2Controller.kext (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller)

Example (RealtekRTL8111):

git clone https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Realtek-Network.git
Cloning into 'OS-X-Realtek-Network'...

Resolving deltas: 100% (416/416), done.
Checking connectivity... done.

The content of the downloaded folder is as follows:

Within the git download, I can not find the .kext file.

The model of my laptop is HP Probook 840 G1.

I would greatly appreciate your help, if tells me what I'm doing wrong.

Prebuilt kexts are provided. Read the README for the download location.

I could install El Capitan 10.11.3 some month ago and I am using it now
Now I want to update it to 10.12. I created the usb through the instruction for installing sierra.
On the usb 2 port it does not show any reaction. On usb 3 ports it starts.
In verbose mode, this is what I see after a few seconds.

my clover folder without theme is uploaded too.
Would you mind Helping me ?

Why do you have AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext in kexts/Other. I don't see anywhere in post #1 any such recommendation.
Your USB3 controller is probably not supported. Use USB2.

Hi,
When I'm using newest Clover and HFSPlus i can't boot El Capitan system. Sierra work correctly but older system (createinstallmedia work) after installation doesn't recognize by Clover. Is it a problem with a HFSPlus or Clover version?

The newest version of Clover did work for me with "El Capitan".

I would not recommend updating to 10.12 at this point:

Known problems with iMac17,1 (broken HDMI/DP), hence the selection of MacBookAir6,2. Use what works.
