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 ?

My Hackintosh : Sierra, i7 6700k, GIGABIT Z170X gaming M5, EGVA Geforce 970 ACX

thanks

I manage to restore my hackintosh.
1 - plug a unibeast USB KEY
2 - plug a carbon copy
3 - plug my system SSD through a USB dock
4 - use Clover configurator to mount the EFI et restore back all the EFI partition content

After few tests, look like the problem is the last NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext 1.2.6 doesn't work along with sierra or it demands some tweak to work well.
i'll try to put back the modified config.plist
 
does anyone has a faster way to restore the efi?
