I get that too if I use nv_disable=1. So its either reboot loop or giolockscreenstate loop

Try to boot without that nvidia command you tried.

Nope. I've tried everything and I've probably reinstalled OSX at least 15 times because once I install the drivers the install is toast and I have no way to recover it. nv_disable=1 results in this screen just looping over and over https://i.imgur.com/4CBcSy6.jpg?1

not using nv_disable=1 just creates an infinite boot loop with no error message.

What kexts are you using? I am using Lilu, NvidiaGraphicsFixup and NVWebDriverLibValFix. If I remember correctly (you know what it's like when you have tried every permutation and combination!) I had the first 2 only to start with and got as far as the giolockscreenstate loop, and adding the NVWebDriverLibValFix made it all come good. I am running CsrConfigActive=0x3.

I don't have any kexts except fakesmc and one for my ethernet, do these go in S/L/E or on the clover Kexts other folder? Should I install with these?

Try Post #2 or #262 for possible solution.

Post #2 worked! Finally. This was really similar to the process posted earlier by Amitkumar, only different seemed to be "touching" the 2 kext directories.

I have put mine in Clover/kexts/other although they also worked for me in L/E. I did an update from 10.12 so they were there all the while I did the update. Not sure whether it would have been better to remove them first then put them back though!
