[Guide] El Capitan on the Intel Broadwell NUC

[waiyuen]

please guide how to update to Sierra for NUC. thank you.
I have tried following using http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/direct-update-to-macos-sierra-using-clover.201465/ but it was stuck in a boot-loop

I've updated to 3763 Clover, and've got bootloop as Api did.
But I can load via Clover in case turning off "Inject EDID" and leaving "InjectIntel" turned on under Graphics Injector settings.

Can't find the way to turn it off permanently via config.plist. Any help would be really appreciated.

config.plist/Graphics/InjectEDID=false.

It is a dumb change made in Clover.

Thanks, RehabMan, I've checked that box early, and it was unchecked for sure. But the strange thing, is that I couldn't found any "EDID" text at config.plist file.
So I've checked that box on, and it has appeared smth like that on config.plist:
<key>InjectEDID</key>
<true/>

All we need is to change "true" to "false". Save, reboot, and it works!

No idea what you're talking about with "checked that box". Hopefully you're not using Clover Configurator...

I mean when I open clover configurator, it looks like that:


But when I'm rebooting, I see that both EDID and Intel video are enabled (I've turned it off, and after that have made a screenshot, sorry).

During that, there are nothing found by "EDID" search at config.plist.

So I turn both checkboxes on at clover configurator,

and after that I can find InjectEDID key at config.plist,

and switch it to "false".

After that everything works good for me, and I can use Sierra with clover 3763 on my NUC.
Thanks for your help.

The default for InjectEDID has been changed in Clover to true (it is probably a mistake).
So now what Clover Configurator is doing is buggy (it is removing it when set to false).

I don't recommend Clover Configurator as it has a habit of changing settings like that... (poor design).

Agree with you, but in case someone will face the same issue (bootloop after clover update before installing Sierra), here's almost a step-by-step guide

It is best to edit config.plist with a plist editor such as Xcode or PlistEdit Pro.

How i update my hackintosh NUC5i5ryh:
I made a bootable usb with unibeast 7.
Then boot from usb and install it on my drive.
When the update finished, i installed clover 3763 (i chose OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi instead of OsxAptioFixDrv2-64.efi). By the way, does anyone the difference between them and why we choose the first?
Then i placed AppleIntelE1000e.kext and FakeSMC.kext on desktop and i installed them with kext wizard. I do not know if it was necessary (I am new to hackintosh), was it?
At last, i changed InjectEDID to false in config.plist
Everything works fine.
