Sierra on HP Envy 15-k204tx, 5th Gen i7, Intel HD 5500/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M

[NagRaj]

I've a HP Envy 15-k204tx, 5th Gen i7- 5500U ( broadwell ).

 

Task : Trying to make Sierra work on this laptop. It has Intel HD 5500 Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M (Optimus)

 

How / What I did :

1) Created a bootable pendrive from the Sierra app downloaded from app store.

2) Installed Clover to pendrive using clover installer.

3) Used clover options like kext-dev-mode=1 nv_disable=1

 

Issue :

When I boot through the pendrive, I get options for selecting other OSes along with Sierra installer. When I select Sierra installer to start the installation, it comes to a black screen immediately. The problem is it doesn't show any text no matter if i use -v or -x or -s as clover boot options. It is really difficult to know the exact problem due to lack of logs.

 

Can anybody help?
