infernouk Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hey guys I'm having a clover related issue upon installing Sierra. I download the image and run it, it goes to reboot, but I'm missing the clover boot option to boot from OS Installation, there is only 1 option to boot off the system drive El Capitan instal, so I'm stuck in a loop where I can't trigger the Sierra installation. Any advice on what the likely issue could be here?mi don't really want to clean install everything is possible! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfesq Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I put the Sierra Installation app into my applications folder and upgraded from El Capitan to Sierra without any glitches. When I first booted into Sierra, sound and wifi did not work. I had to rebuild kext caches and reboot. Then, I got wifi and sound back. It was pretty simple and took about 30 minutes total installing on a SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, remove all of them and you should see "Boot Mac OS X Install from xxx" on next reboot. Also, make sure you put FakeSMC.kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12 folder or Other (create those if needed).

Drazick Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi, I have a system based on what seen here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303641-zotac-zbox-ie-750/ I have macOS 10.11 installed now. I want to upgrade to 10.12 (macOS Sierra). I was wondering if there a guide how to do it. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pduke Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 from my experience it has to do with the version of clover. for me v34... is not able to "see" the Sierra installation boot option while v37... can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazick Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 @pduke, So it means all I have to do is to update Clover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pduke Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 worked for me so you can try. but make a back up first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazick Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You didn't even move things to a different folder on Clover folder? Like creating 10.12 folder or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pduke Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 my case is a bit different. i am booting from a USB cause my mobo does not see mac hdds as bootable.... BUT i run the sierra upgrade > restart > and if i use an older version clover USB i can't see the sierra installer partition, while with a new version i can see it. yesterday for example i managed to install sierra into a new HDD using v37 clover USB and the install partition i had from my upgrade. just make a USB with latest clover, boot from it and check if you see the partition. then you will know if clover version is the answer in addition, i try to always be careful, i try to never compromise a hackintosh install that runs fine. so i would make a clone of my el capitan to a new HDD and i would do all the testing there.

Drazick Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I was just wondering if I need to create new folders in my EFI folder. Like 10.12 or "Other". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
