Using bios version1. 0.1 is bootable with CloverUEFI, but need to removed all USB insert and charge before power on

Good for you :) but I've tried all the BIOS versions (on the 4 laptops) that are available and it didn't want to boot. The only option that was successful was the one that I mentioned in the previous post.
 
Hi all, I've been following this guide up until Step 5 Install MacOS to my HDD then I'm stuck. I've seen a lot of errors and crashes in the verbose logs (attached screenshot though not full logs) but I don't know what can I do.

Please help.

Additional info:
- I have Windows 10 installed on my SSD but I did remove it when booting the installer.
- My screen is 4K and I did follow the guide to replace all the config.plist files with the one in the 4k folder.

This guide is for OS X 10.11, not macOS, but if you're installing macOS on a 4k screen, you need to patch CoreDisplay to defeat the pixel clock limitation (in 10.11, it is an IOKit patch, 10.12 CoreDisplay patch).

Thanks for the reply!
Oh I can't find any guide to install Sierra for my laptop model so I bet the guide for El Capitan would work similarly for Sierra, guess not.
Without the CoreDisplay patch, the installer can't run properly? as I thought patches and kexts are to be applied after installation. Can you kindy point me a full guide that I can follow as I'm totally a newbie to this hackintosh, if you know there is any?

Thanks.

Until you can patch for the pixel clock, you must use an invalid ig-platform-id or external monitor. The internal 4k display will not work with the graphics drivers until the patch is in place.

I checked my config.plist (also attached in post #422) and the ig_platform_id is set to 0x191b0000. The problem blocking me right now is I can't even get to the MacOS installer (screenshot also attached in post #422)...

Or do I actually need the SATA controller 100-series kext to get it working, though the newer MacOS version should have supported Skylake (See from somewhere in this forum) ?

If you expect to use the internal 4k display you must use an *invalid* ig-platform-id until you can patch for the pixel clock.
Typically you would use 0x12345678 for the installer and prior to patching for the pixel clock limitation.

SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext is generally required for 100-series mobile chipsets.
 
Hello geniuses. I'm still a noob at this, and following directions incorrectly, somehow wound up with an Inspiron 7559 4K touch screen with touchscreen working in macOS Sierra. Sound wasn't working, so I started adding kexts, and blew up my touch screen. When it was working, there was an icon in System Settings labelled "Ink"

I mixed instructions and kexts from these two sets of instructions in my first attempt. Mind you, I had lot's of interruptions, and did not log progress on the first attempt.

3) This guide

I would love to get this working again if anyone else has seen it/has any knowledge about this.

If I did this right, here is a brief movie I took to show a friend (prior to nuking it).

Your DSDT.aml has some corrupt data.
Remove the External declarations with invalid characters.
External (***J, UnknownObj) // Warning: Unknown object
External (0**J, UnknownObj) // Warning: Unknown object
External (P**H, UnknownObj) // Warning: Unknown object

After removing those lines, result is no errors.

Hi, I'm having the same issues...

besides that, the iasl output is not deterministic:

2 runs of disassembly gives rise to different .dsl files:

clover version does not affect the dump (tried with several, r4049 the latest).

@RehabMan do you have any clues on what may be going on?
