mwoertler Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I’m attempting to install Sierra 10.12.6 on my e7470 (bios Vee.1.17.5). Following the guides: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9179-dell-latitude-e7x70-clover-uefi-only/&do=findComment&comment=65823 https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-clover-guide/&do=findComment&comment=54621 I created a bootable usb drive with clover and added device specific boot pack: E7x70_BIOSv1.17.5.zip When I load into clover the MacOS installer does not show up... Now, if I overwrite config.plist with the generic one clover provides and boot into clover I can see the MacOS installer Can anyone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong / if I’m missing a step?

Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2017 Note: Bootpack (EFI) consists of combining the Generic EFI + the model you're downloading!!! Instruction: Download the Generic EFI folder. Download model below and add the contents into the Generic /EFI/Clover folder You're missing HFSPlus.efi which is provided in the Generic EFI which is most likely what you forgot...

mwoertler Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thanks for the quick reply. I believe I did this but it was 3AM when I attempted this so I very well could have missed this. I’ll try again and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwoertler Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 When adding to the generic edit folder, should I replace or merge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2017 The generic EFI/Clover folder does not have Config.plist, Kexts folder and ACPI folder, so either way will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwoertler Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Ok I attempted the following: Re-installed clover on thumb drive Added base EFI: EFI_4200.zip Added device specific: E7x70_BIOSv1.17.5.zip MacOS installer partition not detected by clover. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2017 The E7x70 files goes into the /EFI/Clover folder correct? Do you have NVMe or Sata SSD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwoertler Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 The e7x70 contains: acpi folder, Kexts folder and config.plist. I am putting these files in efi/clover folder and clicking replace (not merge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2017 Merge is fine. Verify that you see HFSPlus.efi inside /EFI/Clover/driver64UEFI. If it still won't see the Installer drive, then you must have done something incorrectly. Verify /EFI is in the hidden EFI partition, not on the root of the drive.
