[solved] Unable to boot High Sierra from Clover

[Sniki]

@Javer
If you are not using it, Install Clover Bootloader from Rehabman fork:
https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/clover/downloads/

Remove old files and unnecessary kext that you used.
Use my config.plist & add these SSDTs that i attached into patched folder.

Install kexts into /Library/Extensions or System/Library/Extensions, not on EFI/Clover/kexts/other.

Use these kexts: (you can find them from Rehabman github repo: https://github.com/RehabMan?tab=repositories)
Download and install them.
FakeSMC.kext
VoodooPS2Controller.kext
USBInjectAll.kext
ACPIBatteryManager.kext
RealtekRTL8111.kext
AppleBacklightInjector.kext (attached)
ALC272.kext (attached)

Test out if everything works correctly and report back with problem reporting files.

Keep in mind that you will need to generate a CPU Power Management SSDT for your CPU Model since mine has i5-2410M.

If you guys don't mind joining: @RehabMan & @feartech
I have same laptop, i can provide files if you accept, i just can't find enough time to write guides as they take some decent amount of time while i have files for different laptops.

Joining?

I use RehabMan Clover, your config.plist (I only add my SMBIOS) and your SSDTs with my generated SSDT for cpu.
All kext in S/L/E

- First problem (on video) still exist
- Touchpad and keyboard works, but I dont know how long. Before use yours files I notice this, keyboard stop working after i use touchpad, if i dont touch touchpad, keyboard works fine.
- Backlight not working, before yours files, it works
- Bluetooth not working, before yours files, it works

For backlight, see guide regarding EDID fixing:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...rol-using-applebacklightinjector-kext.218222/

The ioreg shows no BT on the USB bus. Maybe USB (RMCF.UIAC) configuration is wrong (excluded port connected to BT controller).

Note: Do not use OsxAptiFix2Drv-free2000.efi. See guide for valid recommendations: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Ok,
Backlight start working after next reboot
BT works if I delete SSDT-USB.
But after reboot keyboard and touchpad stop working (weird, on keyboard works only backlight keys(fn+arrows up/down). After reboot kb&tp works.
I find new little problem (not checked before). Key for VolumeDown not work (Fn+Left arrow), VolumeUp works. On USB keyboard VolumeDown and VolumeUp works.

And, I see You dont know why I must click any key in Clover (video)?

EDIT:
After next 3-4 reboots kb&tp not work (kb work if I dont touch tp)

After you fix all issues from post #26, attach new "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

Okey,
I add AptioMemoryFix.efi and back to OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi
BT work without SSDT-USB. I must have this SSDT? How to make it if is necessary?
About kb&tp. Problem is only when I made changes in kext or clover. Other cases, works normally.
Now I have Win10 in 2nd partition. On Windows Fn+Left Arrow(Volume Down) also not work (boot with clover and windows boot). Fn with other keys works, left arrow also work.

See guide:

Always rebuild cache after making such changes.

sudo kextcache -i /
