wonder2 Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 please upload your EFI folder (compress first), want to confirm you have it setup correctly. When you create the installer, you use GUID / Extended Journaled format? I just rebuild the installer with 10.12.2 using the bootpack and have no issue booting to the Installer using any of the USB ports. I did the install again, same result so here is the EFI from the stick Yes, I confirm that I am using GUID/Extended Journaled format. The only difference from the guide is that I have to erase partition, specifying format because the system does not allow me to create new partition over existing one. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 19, 2016 Your EFI folder looks fine. Let's try going into the BIOS, click on 'Load Defaults', hit Apply. Now set the following settings: Enable UEFI Enable Legacy Option Rom SATA Operations to AHCI Check also that CPU XD - Enabled Secure Boot - Disabled Disable TPM (uncheck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 21, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 21, 2016 did you add the clover path into entry here https://osxlatitude.com/uploads/monthly_12_2016/post-102564-0-57835300-1482294305.jpg and set it as boot.

wonder2 Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 BIOS does not allow me to change the path. I press F12 and select "Boot from USB" and clover boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 21, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2016 You select Add Boot Option. Then point it to /EFI/EFI/Clover/Cloverx64.efi. And put a name you want like Clover or OS X. Hit Ok and move the selection to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
