BrianH Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 hey,so I want to switch from chimera to clover on my working Yosemite installation. First of all I tried to get a working Clover USB stick so I don't mess up my system, and I got one so I thought I could just install clover to my SSD with the same settings as on my USB stick. But after installing clover, my computer just boots with chimera again. I've checked, and the clover files are in the EFI partition, so I don't know why my computer just continues booting with chimera. I've tried the following clover versions: 2953,2957 and 2941, same problem with any of them. Is anyone able to help me?

kvonlinee Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 so you use the tony### site tool or not? if you not use tool from that site. you get a new hard drive. put the clover installer, then install 10.10 to it and try to boot with it in verbose and post the picture on here.

larabee Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hey Brian, we are in the same boat. Here is what I did: - Back up your data or just get a new SSD - Format the darn thing, 1 partition with GPT , Mac OS extended Journaled. For some reasons, I was never able to get rid of Chameleon bootloader without problem, so I formatted the whole thing and start from scratch. - Install Yosemite from USB ( you can use the Uni%^$$&$# thing from Tony$&*%^$&* to make USB installer if you want) - Using that USB to boot to your newly installed SSD - Install Clover onto SSD. Pick the options that works with your system. (install clover to ESP, RC scripts ...). Remember to migrate the Kexts to Clover folder ( fakesmc, etc...) You should be able to boot from clover. Since I switch to clover, I get a boost of 5-10% performance wise, especially OpenGL compared to Chameleon.

BrianH Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thats what I did, but it didn't work. Looks like my problem was that I am dualbooting OSX and Windows. Solved my problem with help of the second part of post #8 in this tutorial: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293574-beginners-guide-to-uefi-tripledual-boot-os-x-windows-and-linux-kali-on-an-single-true-gpt-ssd/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/301778-cant-get-my-hackintosh-to-boot-from-clover/#findComment-2073824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
