Hello everyone ! My Sierra hackintosh went into a boot loop after some modifications* My build was working fine and then I decided to follow a tutorial - for high sierra - to make my hackintosh faster for FCPX. This done when i restart my system i have a black screen after the clover menu ! Then the screen disconnect et it restart again and again.
- Undo the Bios change didn't help.
- Tried to restart using different option like nv_disable=1, didn't help neither
- The verbose show only ++++++++++ right from the start and then i’m stuck on the boot loop
- I did compress archive with my former config.plist before i made any change but i don’t know how to access it since i can’t launch OSX...
- Tried to boot from USB which appears on the clover menu : same black screen. If i unplug my SSD and boot with only the USB key, the usb key works
- pressing F12 to directly boot from the USB doesn't show any USB storage
- Tried to boot from a previous carbon copy storage : didn't work... If i unplug my SSD the carbon copy storage works
- I still can boot to windows 7 from the clover boot screen
- In windows i browse to /Volumes/EFI but there's no file ?!
Can somebody help me? Maybe my mistake was to follow a tutorial for high sierra when i'm using sierra ?
Is there a way to access my desktop and restore my previous config.plist ?
