That's been my process for all of my installs. The only thing I didn't realise was that after installing clover, adding the kexts from your guide and adding OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi was that I'd then need to install clover onto the USB again after making those changes to the EFI.
I do apologise for the confusion, I have been listening to your instructions and do appreciate the patience you've had with me.
After retrying the install over 15 times now with every single step correctly done I've still been unsuccessful at getting to the install screen.
I don't want to take up more of your time, hopefully I'll be reporting back with a successful install at some point.
1.) You should not only add the kexts and OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi from my guide but also the config.plist!!!!!
The easiest approach to do this, is to replace the entire EFI folder after the first clover install with the one you sent me!!!! I
told you this now 6 TIMES!!!!! You are not able to listen, that's the problem!!!!! Subsequently, to have the last boot loader installed (the EFI folder you sent me does not use the latest clover boot loader) you have to install Clover a second time!!!!!
Finally, to be sure that during the second clover install, clover did not add again any OsxAptioFix*Drv**.efi different from OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi, you have to check that after the second clover install OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi is really the only OsxAptioFix*Drv**.efi in your EFI directory.....
I am sure I can propose you this approach 7 or 8 times and you will never listen or follow.. It is simply a total waste of my time..
2.) Two days ago we succeeded in successfully booting your system. Now you are again at ZERO.. You are unable to listen and totold you this now 6 TIMES!!!!! You are not able to listen, that's the problem!!!!! Subsequently, to have the last boot loader installed (the EFI folder you sent me does not use the latest clover boot loader) you have to install Clover a second time!!!!!

repeat what one is telling you. I am not able to help you further!! I do not mind if somebody using my guide is not properly skilled to do so. Many non-experts succeed with their first install of a hackintosh because they are able to listen and to receive help. You definitely do not seem to be one of does and your approach seems totally chaotic. Sorry for speaking that frankly.. but I am really loosing hope in your case. By facing this huge amount of problems already at the very beginning during the very basic install, you will not be able to follow the subsequent steps of my guide in order to reach a stable and fully functional system. Did you ever consider the option to stay with a Windows operating system? This might be definitely the better option in your case.
Cheers, man!
