Razer Blade 2016 OS X 10.11.5

[protom]

I successfully hackintoshed a few desktop, but this is my first attempt at a laptop and with its skyline h170 chipset, HD530 and nvidia 970m and optimus..
It s not the easiest machine to work with...
So far I have been able to boot to clover boot loaded and everything seems to go fine until I reach the OS X installer.
then its just a black screen.
It looks like its just a display issue since pressing keys would trigger OS X install usb drive activity.
But without any display hard to tell what exactly is going on..

I read most of the guides and modded my Bios following that really well done guide (http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/razer-blade-2016-bios-mod.792601/) to be able to access the more advance settings such as DVM-T memory allocation but even after tweaking those didn't get any results.
I did also try with an external monitor no luck either..

any help would be much appreciated.

Not a guide. Moved to laptop support.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Pay attention the Skylake info in the FAQ. It is important.

Also read the FAQ content regarding UHD screens. Also very important...

I was finally able to boot into OS X installer
by creating a bootable drive of 10.11.15 with unibeast 6.2
then I changed the config.plist by the one here for HD530 in the RehabMan repo here
then removed VBoxHfs-64.efi from the drivers64UEFI folder on the EFI partition ( you can use EFI mounter to mount the hidden EFI partition )
and adding HFSPlus.efi - GitHub
also added the NVMe driver so the m2 pcie internal ssd would be seen in the os X installer and installed on.

but right after the progression bar finishes the install i get a black screen...
any idea ?

You mean upon reboot? Keep in mind you need to boot the installer twice... (assuming you used createinstallmedia).

 

[protom]

you mean boot twice from the usb drive to be able to access the ssd then instal clover on it right ?
or really run the installer twice as in run it until the progression bar is over then run it again ?

I used unibeast...
