[haitm186]

Yep

Boot verbose for troubleshooting. Make sure you try different USB ports...

If still not working, try removing config.plist/Devices/AddProperties/Item 2
(the item with "hda-gfx"="onboard-1")

Make sure your BIOS settings are correct (VT-d disabled, DEP enabled).

Also,

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

You have no patched DSDT in CLOVER/ACPI/patched. You did not select options related to DSDT patching. Follow the instructions for creating a patched DSDT.

Also, there are issues with the kexts as installed... eg..

Dec 22 14:42:20 MacBook-Pro-van-Frederik.local installd[401]: PackageKit: kextcache -system-caches
Dec 22 14:42:20 MacBook-Pro-van-Frederik.local installd[401]: kextcache: AppleBluetoothMultitouch.kext has no Info.plist file.
Dec 22 14:42:21 MacBook-Pro-van-Frederik.local installd[401]: kextcache: IOBluetoothFamily.kext has no Info.plist file.
Dec 22 14:42:21 MacBook-Pro-van-Frederik.local installd[401]: kextcache: IOBluetoothHIDDriver.kext has no Info.plist file.

Redownload from the Mac App Store. Rebuild your USB, and do a fresh install.

Thanks will try to create a patched DSDT.

About the kexts: I don't have them installed because IOBluetoothControllerTransport cause a kernel panic

Post your EFI folder on your USB.
Please confirm you replaced the stock screen originally in the laptop with a 1600x900 screen.

And try 2b, or another usb.

Thanks RehabMan and nguyenmac for your reply.

I confirmed, to have replaced original with a FHD display and used therefore the 1600+ .plist from CONFIG.zip. Tried also different USB port but same story.
Attached the EFI Folder like requested.

in the meanwhile I will try it with variant 2b. and post result.

Thanks
Cromatic

EDIT: Now, with method 2b, I am getting the green screen much earlier. Also tried different USB ports, same again.

It is easy with the ProBook Installer, following the guide.

It is better to remove/disable the hardware instead of removing the kexts if you get a panic (from BT kexts) while booting the installer.

Try removing the "hda-gfx" injection... config.plist/Devices/AddProperties/Item 3.

You mean this section?
<dict>
<key>Device</key>
<string>IntelGFX</string>
<key>Key</key>
<string>hda-gfx</string>
<key>Value</key>
<string>onboard-1</string>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>For HDMI-audio connection</string>
</dict>

If yes, I did that, but still same green screen

Try injecting EDID.

Not sure how you missed this... (you quoted it)...

Here is the list of recommended compatible wifi cards:
- HP Probook 4x30s: HP-branded Atheros AR5B195

The "not recommended" part is under "Other laptop" (you also quoted this).

Seems pretty clear.
