i understand, the only EFI folder i have is on the root of the Disk, nowhere else, even mounted and checked the EFI partition to be sure. Are the files extracted immediately or should i wait a few minutes? If i delete the origin folder will then be generated automatically perhaps?

If you installed Clvoer correctly, you will find EFI/Clover on your EFI partition.
The EFI partition is not automatically mounted, so you must mount it to view the content.

I see. I did not install in the ESP. It is the root of the main disk. will reinstall. should i check install RC Scripts on target or no need?

Your mistake.
It is quite clear in the guide...
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
You should install RC scripts (as per guide).

Make sure you fix the things already mentioned.

Other comments:
- remove HaltEnabler, PatchAPIC from config.plist
- CPU PM setup doesn't look right (see pinned guide)
- your profile is not filled out as per FAQ (correct as per FAQ before your next reply)
- why are you using FakeCPUID?
- InjectKexts should be "Detect" and all kexts you need should be installed to the system volume
- remove AddIMEI_80000 from your config.plist (DSDT is already patched for that)
- remove SetIntelBacklight from config.plist
- USB not implemented correctly (see pinned guide)

But you have old hardware... and I have no real experience with it (nor any desire to learn about it...)

OK! thank you for giving some of your precious time to help me!

I know it's old, but still does the job fast.

I will try to follow the guides more closely. Even though the laptop works very well even now. I should find a way to fix the slow restart-shutdown thing.

If should use only toledaArtp for wifi from now on and remove the fakeid kexts (used them for wifi only really).

Thank you again Sir!

Personally, I use ProbookAtheros.kext.

27/09/17 UPDATE!

10.12.6 WORKS VERY WELL!

Updated from software update directly.

Not working:
-Brightness
-Fan Control
Cleaned DSDT, implemented Fan Reading(after many trial and error), but cannot control it,
i tried all your Probook patches great Rehabman, but i don't know what to modify...always getting errors
i don't care about brightness but Fan Control seems essential compared to windows temps...

Attaching config.plist and DSDT

..almost there!...almost!
