How To Install OS X Yosemite Using Clover

Is there a singular most common reason, or most common few reasons, why a Hackintosh remains bootable only with the Clover USB stick still connected, even though Yosemite is apparently successfully installed to the internal SSD/HDD? I would like to prepare myself for that eventuality should that be one of my stumbling blocks.

Did you run MultiBeast according to the tonymacx86 Guide?
 
No, I haven't gone the MultiBeast route, at least not yet. Right now I'm back to 'square one' after discovering motherboard hardware problems completely unrelated to OS X or creating a Hackintosh. A board replacement with fresh install of Win7 looks like what I need to do first, then return to creation of Clover + Yosemite install stick.

I posted the query because I came across a help request (on another forum) in which the OP had installed OS X using Clover, on similar generation hardware to mine, but could only boot into OS X with the USB installer still connected, but did not as yet find a resolution. In my past hours of research across multiple forums, I'd also seen repeated instances of users having the same boot issue, so I began to wonder if there was a 'most likely' configuration error(s) resulting in the problem. This is on Intel 9-Series + Haswell hardware, so current stuff.

If the list of potential causes of the problem is too long, then fair enough. I'll take my chances later on if I can get my box re-built and working optimally in Win7 like it should be.
 
Hello,

I do not understand this part:

20. Navigate to /EFI/CLOVER/ and replace default config.plist with attached config.plist*
21. Navigate to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/ and create a folder called 10.10
22. Navigate to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/ and add FakeSMC.kext
23. Navigate to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/ and add your ethernet kext
24. Navigate to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/ and add NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
25. Navigate to /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ remove VBoxHfs-64.efi and add HFSPlus.efi
26. (Optional) Navigate to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ and add DSDT.aml and SSDT.aml

Do you guys mean the USB drive? What is the point in copying these files to the EFI partition? It will be deleted anyway when I install Yosemite, won't it? I'm confused.

Yes

The USB EFI partition will remain. The installation drive will be partitioned/formatted for the install.
 
Thanks :)

I wonder: Is there no Sound.kext in the tutorial?

Alright. Thank you :)

So, it may be a dumb question but: How do I use this Clover Guide when I come from Windows? I mean the EFI partition will be created when I create the bootable USB device.

:crazy::crazy:

I would skip this process of creating an EFI partition when I boot directly from the USB device to install Yosemite? :crazy::crazy:

You'll need a Mac or Hack to download OS X from the Mac App Store and create a bootable Clover installer.
