I have been using Time Machine and now for several reasons I would like to boot into macOS Recovery to restore from Time Machine backup. I found that when using real mac it can be done by pressing Command (⌘)-R before the apple logo appears. In my case that is not possible because of clover. When I choose from clover to boot sierra apple logo appears immidiately. What can I do? :crazy: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201314

Thank you very much in advance!

If you have a Recovery partition, Clover will present it as a boot target.

Perhaps you forgot to put FakeSMC.kext in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other.

Just boot your normal partition and fix EFI/Clover/kexts/Other.
There can be other causes for your problem though...

Like I said... there could be other problems.
For example, if you need the Nvidia web drivers for graphics, they will not be available when booting the Recovery partition and you would have to employ similar techniques you used to reach the installer (nv_disable=1).

You should boot verbose so you know what is happening. And review the procedures you needed to reach the installer.
