I've made 4 Hackintoshes successfully following threads etc. My old GA z77 UH5 started black screening so I decided to just put in a new HD and start fresh since I wasn't sure what had changed. I friend was using the computer and may have updated the OS. Anyway I am stuck now with the message to reboot and select a proper boot device unless I boot to the USB and then choose the new HD to get in. I also am only getting only one screen to work as well as not being able to recognize my GPU.I'm sure here's my config.plist

Hello

Please update your Profile with details of your hardware. It's a part of the site Rules. :thumbup:

Without this information it is doubtful anyone can help you just from the config.plist. There's not a lot going on in there. For example, knowing what the GPU is will help.

From your error message it sounds as though the problem could be a corrupted EFI partition or folder.

:)

Okay. Great :thumbup:

There seem to be two problems then - the black-screening and the failure to boot independently?

For the black screen, you might be right. If the system was updated but the Nvidia web-drivers were not, then you'd likely get problems. Did you have the Lilu and Whatevergreen kexts installed? Were you, or they, running with the iGPU enabled or disabled in BIOS? Your config.plist has the NvidiaWeb-drivers flag set as 'true', you could try disabling the drivers to see if you then get past the black-screen. Graphics will be jerky and unaccelerated etc but you can then update to the correct drivers. Add "nv_disable=1" to your command-line OR remove the 'tick' from config.plist using Clover Configurator - it's in the System Parameters tab - to disable the present drivers.

If the PC will boot using the UniBeast drive, but not the main drive and you get that error, it's likely some disk corruption has occurred. First step I would take is the simple one of using Disk Utility to run 'First Aid' on the affected drive to make sure the structure is okay. If it is then mount the EFI partition using EFI Mounter v3 after double checking the drive ID using Disk Utility etc. Check it out. A good idea is to copy the whole EFI folder to somewhere safe and then copy the EFI folder from the UniBeast drive into its place. This should give you a booting system you can then copy back your config.plist into, restoring correct serial-numbers etc. Just take care not to get confused. The UniBeast EFI will appear on your desktop as an external drive, whereas the main drive with show as internal.

:)
 
Thanks for the reply! Sorry for the delayed response. Had an emergency that took me out of town for a few days. I’ll be back in the office late next week and get back to figuring this thing out.
