Second boot has gone correctly. I connected to icloud and then I reboot again, to verify everything is ok. Should I also update clover to the last 4722? Many big thanks @Jake Lo

First boot has gone correctly. Now I reboot and I give you a feedback. Should I keep the verbose boot?

Now I’m not able to boot even if I revert to previous patches folder and config.plist Now I feel so unlucky..

This is the new KP I get sorry for delayed reply

I removed it from L/E but no results. I left it there in EFI/Clover/kext/Other/CopyToLE..is it a problem?

This is after reboot, where I encountered also sleep just before arriving to login screen

I removed all sensors, repaired permissions and rebuilt cache. Snapshot of result is attached. Now I try to reboot

Before telling me I’m quite stupid, I removed also the other copy of FakePCIID_XHCI.kext from SLE, repaired permissions and rebuilt cache. I was able to boot once, but at reboot it failed again. It stops many times at that ACPI Sensors

I apologize for my bad English. I wanted to say that system boots randomly, I would say once every 2-3 attempts, and it seems to boot only in verbose mode (but this might be only my impression). Nevertheless, this is one of the attempts when it booted so I'm attaching debug. In this attempt I have brightness but no sound (as the last time it booted)

I kept intelhaxm.kext and removed the else. It booted, but I didn’t have brightness control. So I repaired permissions and rebuilt cache. I rebooted and it worked. Then I accidentally put to stop and waked: stop was working. Then I rebooted and it didn’t boot. So I switched off and booted in verbose plus debug0x100. And this was the result. I switched off and booted again in verbose+debug0x100 and it booted again, with brightness but no sound.

No way.. here is the result of the last clover folder you posted Viking. Just to let you know, if can help, my E7450 bears only HD5500 (no discrete cards)

I don’t understand Viking: should I replace the clover folder with the one you attached? What is missing in that clover folder? Do I have to upload my clover folder for comparison? Thanks

Here is the video of deny. It isn’t the complete boot sequence but where it stops. Here is a pic just before the deny symbol.

Jake, that is my internal drive. It is not the external one, which fortunately works

Viking, I applied your suggestions but I got a deny symbol

I'm attempting many times deleting the EFI folder from EFI partition and replacing it with a backupped one (the oldest is 4458, the newest 4700). Sometimes the system boots correctly, but only once. At reboot it fails again. I was able to boot with EFI folder of r4700 and after hitting F4 and F2 (I remembered the sequence) I was able to generate a complete debug. Hope this can help in finding a solution. Please help me!!

It is caused by clover update (4674-->4700). So, I downgraded to the previous version (4674). Initially worked, but at the next boot the problem came again. I didn't change any patch in clover config. I can post it if needed. EAPDFix is the same version (2.3) and I never changed it. In these days I made a lot of attempts with experimental DSDT (patched by myself with some help) but I performed these experiments in an external SSD. I don't know if this can be the cause

I have it. Should I update it?

UPDATE: 26/10 System keep rebooting in any case. I didn’t solve anything. I loaded default bios values and then activated uefi boot mode, legacy boot mode, AHCI sata and disabled secure boot. Now I get the deny symbol and I cannot boot can you please give a me an help? Thanks

I use a piece of brain and I found a good solution: I downgraded to clover r4674 and the related EFI folder so now the system is booting again. Fortunately I keep a copy of some previous clover versions and EFI folders. So now it boots fine.

Hi folks, my system in signature is not able to boot anymore. It reboots automatically after a few seconds. At clover bootscreen, I hit space bar and verbose plus debug 0x100 and the result is in the pic attached. I can partially solve only if I boot from another SSD, I replace the EFI folder with a backupped one but at reboot the problem is still there. The system does not boot even without injected. Clover: r4700 Any idea? thanks, Marco

Dear @Jake Lo and @viking1304, major contributors to this topic. I appreciated so much your big effort in understanding what's wrong in my DSDT but I feel I make you waste a lot of precious time. The original intent of this topic was to check if I were able to patch a "known" DSDT by my own, in order to make a step further and try to patch another system. Unfortunately, I have much more to know and to study. Since Jake has patched and made an efficient guide for the E7450 with HD 5500, I think I will follow the next updates about this powerful machine but now we can even stop with this topic, if you agree. I'm still available as "beta tester" if you need an user with this kind of machine to see how your patches and hacks work on another machine. I hope you can understand the general intent of this post, even if english is not my mother tongue. Thank you so much guys! I will wait for a stable guide for the next step..Mojave! Cheers, Marco

Yes, it is. Otherwise I would have graphics glitches, even on my internal SSD, which boots normally

Hi @Jake Lo and @viking1304 no way in having a better result. Hack doesn't go to sleep when plugged into AC and I have to take the charger off to put it to sleep. When I wake it, I have only a black screen. Furthermore, boot time is still so high (it is external, but it is an SSD)
