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

@RehabMan ...

FIRST TRY
I tried with fake platform id of 0X12345678, OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi with EmuVariableUefi-64.fi, with all Kext intact

SECOND TRY
I tried with fake platform id of 0x12345678, AptioMemoryFix.efi with all kexts intact..

RESULT
I still get that reboot as soon as I I enter verbose mode. I have the verbose image and my CLOVER FOLDER.

Thanks for your help.

Dell computers often require config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/DellSMBIOSPatch=true.
 
You need to try different OsxAptio related fixes.

Thanks so much for your effort in helping me. Is there something I should download or a tutorial I should follow or a page I should read some sort of information from? Please help me because I believe this machine can be hacked!!...And thats what RehabMan is known for...

Thanks...
 
Overview

Note: Clover cannot read HTML (config.plist is a plist/xml), so make sure to download from the "Raw" link or download the entire ZIP to get all files: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/archive/master.zip

In any case you may need to change the ig-platform-id that is used at /Graphics/ig-platform-id. But these configurations work most of the time.

Common ig-platform-ids:
0x01660003: HD4000 1366x768
0x01660004: HD4000 1600x900, 1920x1080
0x01660008, 0x01660009: HD4000 1600x900, 1920x1080

0xa260006: HD4400/HD4600/HD5000
Other Haswell ig-platform-id values: 0xa260005, 0xa260000, 0xa160000, 0xa2e0008, 0xa2e000a

Always use a plist editor (such as Xcode or PlistEdit Pro) when making changes to config.plist.

Is there a typing error here or whether it is 0x0a260006 or 0xa260006 ?

No error.

0x0a260006 is the same as 0xa260006... same as 0x00a260006 same as 0x00000000000a260006 same as 0x00000000000000000000000000a260006.

All the same number, which happens to be 170262534 (same as 0170262534, or 00000000170262534).
 
Hmm .. So I've got El Captian working on my HP 840 G3, so I decided to try to install Sierra High.

I got Clover and the Mac Installer on the USB. I can boot Clover from USB and start the installer. When I enter the installer, I can choose the language. Then I get to the window where I can select "install macos" option. When I select that option, I select the drive to install to, accept the disclaimer and then a progressbar and then my laptop just restarts

Help?

You forgot EmuVariableUefi-64.efi in drivers64UEFI.
Or you can use AptioMemoryFix.efi instead of EmuVariableUefi-64.efi+OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi.
Read post #1 carefully.

Also, reboots are part of the installation process.
