tanphu194 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi all, Long time since I've post, as my system has been running fine. However, I recently updated to 10.12.6 and got stuck in a boot loop. Did a quick search and I suspect that the outdated version of lilu.kext could be the culprit. Tried to boot with -liluoff and got black screen. Can anyone help me to get back on? Please be a bit detail as I am still a newbie. What I am thinking is creating a USB Clover loader then mount the EFI on the hdd and update the kext, is that correct? Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanphu194 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 I was updating from an earlier version of Sierra. Pretty sure this update is for the Spectre/Meltdown patches. I don’t know how to stop the machine from rebooting so here’s a video. https://youtu.be/v-ptu70ebRg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2018 You need to update Lilu.kext to at least 1.2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanphu194 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 That’s what I am thinking about Lilu. Can you guide me how to update that please? About fix header clovers patch, I haven’t heard about that so I will assume no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 17, 2018 Maybe update your USB installer with the new Lilu.kext and boot with it Mount the EFI partition and then update the Lilu.kext there The FixHeader option can be found under Options when you boot to Clover. Under ACPI fixes, go to the very bottom, you should see the FixHeaders option. Permanently add it to Config.plist with Clover Configurator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanphu194 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 I was able to boot with -v -s and -nv_disable=1 Updated lilu to 1.2.1 and nvidiagraphicsfixup from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvidiagraphicsfixup/?source=typ_redirect Updated Clover as well. Still stuck in boot loop. Any ideas? I am thinking of doing a 10.13 clean install if all fails. If that's the case, what should I pay attention to compared to 10.12? Should I remove the Windows SSD before reinstalling? I am having 1 SSD for hackintosh, 1 SSD for Windows and 1 HDD for data in my M4800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 18, 2018 Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don't know if the upload limit has been corrected yet but you can try zipping your config file and attaching it using the more reply option maybe it's something simple.
