Administrators Hervé Posted February 3, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 3, 2021 As long as your i3 is fitted with HD4000 iGPU not HD2500, you're good to go up to current Big Sur. See our FAQ section re: making USB installer without a Mac or a Hack; then look up any existing guide for Ivy Bridge Latitude E5x30 or E6x30 laptops.

DimitrisMPower1986 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thank you for response! i've try this quide and in combination with transmac and bdu only i have is reboots. with custom EFI folders also. that method i use for mojave, catalina and big sur also. Then i've searching entire forum for ivy bridge and i found only a guide for maverics. i have a VM running to mojave without problems but i cant install clover in there.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 5, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2021 what is the CPU and display resolution? You can find both in the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimitrisMPower1986 Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Bios A20 CPU Intel i3-3130MCPU @ 2.60GHz Graphics are Intel HD 4000 1600*900 64MB memory, video bios version 2158v12. panel 14.0" HD+ So i found a working clover for high sierra and now i try it with the dmg of mojave from my VM. I dont know if that EFI is combatible yet with mojave dell efi.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2021 You're using an old Clover setup with old kexts and some incorrect settings, though none that would normally prevent proper macOS installation. Refresh all kexts to their latest versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimitrisMPower1986 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 So Clover 4961 are the best for my setup i think, i can get security updates without problems. Other and newer clover version with same config, drivers, kexts etc are not working. And i do some modifications to my EFI folder like fresh kexts, graphics calibrations etc. I have wifi via "Heliport", sound, usb etc all going well. Is this safe and possible to upgrade to Big Sur (via software update or clean installation)? for some reason i cant upgrade to catalina. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bvvcsjjfcd2byyd/clover 16.2.2021.rar?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 21, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 21, 2021 For Catalina, you'll need at least v50xx For Big Sur, you'll need at least v5126 I think. This version of Clover has implemented drivers and quirks from OpenCore, so you'll have to do some digging and experimenting. Check out Hervé's E6230 guide for Big Sur, very resourceful.
