kogychan Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hello, I'm new on the forum and pretty new in the hackintosh world also. A few years ago I could setup a desktop computer with maverick by using chimera, but that's all. Recently i'm trying to install OSX Sierra on a Lenovo X230 laptop. I followed many tutorials. Made a lot of mistakes, but yesterday I could finally boot on a USB key. Usb Key has been generated by the usual "sudo..." command in a terminal Windows under OSX yosemite on a VMware install. Then I installed Clover (3773) with the usual sttings : - check "Install for UEFI booting only", "Install Clover in the ESP" will automatically select- check "Bluemac" from Themes (the config.plist files I provide use this theme)- check "OsxAptioFixDrv-64" from Drivers64UEFI I replaced the standard config.plist with the "config_HD4000_1366x768.plist" and renammed it of course I copied HFRPlus.efi in /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI And added the usual ktext (fakeSMS, Voodoo, no ethernet, Generic-usb3) (hope I dont forget one, i'm listing it by memory since i don't have my VM here at work.) to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other (I erased 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11) And miracle, I could boot without any trouble. I erased my Samsung SSD during install and installed Sierra on it. The whole progress bar reached the end. But after rebooting I'm facing the Apple Logo, without anything else...no progress bar. And the strangest is that even if I try to reboot on the Sierra installation option in Clover I'm not going further either. If I extract the SSD and erase it totaly in another computer then I can boot again on the clover USB key and repaet the installation process. But again stucked on the Apple Logo and no reinstallation possible without erasing the SSD, not even booting on the install program. Any idea please . Thanks a lot.
