Has anyone been successful in getting an Ivy-Bridge CPU with Intel HD2500 graphics working with El Capitan?

I recently upgraded my hackintosh to El Capitain and went from Chimera to Clover bootloader with the new Unibeast. I used the Chimera boot.plist to inject hd2500 parameters after removing the AppleIntelHD4000Graphic.kext and the system worked fine.

My BIOS is set VRAM @ 64Mb

Now with Clover I am unfamiliar on how and where I need to inject the <string> I had for Yosemite.

I am able to get the system to boot but only when changing the graphic injection FakeID to "0x01660004" in the boot option.

Other things I have tried:
Using MaciASL but can't compile due to error.
Adding "7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000003006601140000006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e626f6172642d31"in Clover Graphic editor to no avail.

Help my Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
 
I'm in the same situation, the system boots fine but you can see there are some graphics glitches.

I'm looking around but no solution so far.

Help us please :mrgreen:

HD2500 not fully supported. You can get CI, but not QE.
 
I wake this 6 months old topic, because I have an almost fully working Intel HD Graphics in ElCapitan.
At least QE & CI are working. I had graphic glitches in Dock background and windows titles, apparently due to my MBP9.2 SmBios (which I want to keep for Power Management reasons)

It's on an Asus Laptop (F301A-RX229H) with an Intel Pentium Mobile 2020M, which includes an Intel HD Graphics, not labelled 2500, but it has 6 execution Units like the 2500 series, and approximately same clock settings (650-1100) instead of 650-1150 for HD2500. You can check specs here and here. It seems like it's a lower end HD2500.

Vendor ID 8086 of course, Device ID 0156, rev 0009.
I use chameleon with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, GraphicsMode=1366x768x32, IntelCapriFB=3
(with Moutain Lion, previous setup on the same laptop, with QE/CI too, required IGPlatformID=01660003)
I have vanilla AGPM and IntelGraphics kexts, SmBios MacBookPro 9.2, as mentionned before,
and a custom DSDT, device is named GFX0.

Graphic Glitches were solved (accordingly to real macbookpro users forums) by reducing transparency in Accessibility Preferences Panel.

Hope it helps.

Noob here, can You give me step by step of how you made Yosemite to work with intel HD2500..?

Hope it helps.

How did you get to reach installer . I am unable to reach installer using uefi unibeast usb. Always Get some error.

I'm in the same boat; the installer always seems to restart at this point:

Intel HD2500 graphics are not supported in macOS.
The other posters seemed to indicate that it did work, though not perfectly. I'm sorry if I'm not understanding. I am currently trying El Capitan, so I'm not sure if you're specifically referring to Sierra or in general.
