16GB.      I installed the latest lilu kext and i got the washed out screen mentioned in the edid post.  but both issues persist.   and I did not see an "apple rgb" color profile

 

also interesting to note if i let it sleep and wake to the screen with artifacts ..  then i can get out of display sleep  but with the artifacts still

yes that is checked under arguments

yes i tried making my own from that post you linked

 

edid did not change anything for me.   I did verify it took with the ioreg command.   stuck in black screen from display sleep and artifacts when i come out of actual sleep.

 

reinstall worked

no i was tricked.. i set the boot option to the usb instead of the ssh when i made it manually.

I have it set as the only option now

 

should i just reinstall clover?

did you mean cloverx64.efi ?    i tried that also

Most things are working after install...  I installed clover to local drive and copied efi from usb to ssd refi partition.

I have tried setting boot option to bootx64.efi and the refi in the clover folder.

It does not do anything

when I f12 and select it it says no boot device

 

am I missing something?

it takes a second to go into sleep mode..  you get  a black screen  and eventually it sleeps  when it comes back i get vertical artifact lines on the right side of the display.  like the side was smashed together or something.

 

EDIT:  i guess the black display is when the display sleeps.  it comes back when you wake from real sleep but with artifacts

hmmm...   after booting correctly from the ssd bootloader wifi works  and bluetooth showed up which it had not before....

 

thanks

hmmm..   that worked...  just dont understand why the USB boots from bootx64.efi....  weird  ..  on to fixing my wifi   and sleep issues

 

thanks!

when usb is in both boot options usb and ssd have same path in bios.   going to bootx64.efi

So I got everything installed.  Installer saw my wifi card let me connect to wifi.  It connected on first boot.   I did all the post install steps    and next reboot wifi was not connected  and could not reconnect.  I disabled wifi and now it is stick there.  I removed the interface from networking rebooted and added it back and it is still stuck in off mode

have any suggestions why after installing clover to ssd and copying efi folder from usb to ssd efi partition when i try and boot to the ssd i just get black screen.. .. nothing happens  no clover loading text  nothing

ok i mounted the efi partition and copied the one from flash drive...   it does not boot to the clover bootloader though.....  also here was the screen shot of the usb clover

ill get back to that one..  I cannot mount the EFI partition on the SSD  getting finder error apple event handler failed -10000

everything worked.. i installed mac os  and after last reboot i got only the installer..  added the APFS driver and got into the install..   clover showed all the ssd partitions with a black and yellow striped box..   will that go away or do i need some icon files somewhere?

upon a retest it appears your original suggestion and unchecking the edid injection get me to the installer with the drive showing up.....  so how can i get clover set to boot correctly now? with out changing those setting

Ah...   i messed with a few things.....   first of all i got into the installer.   Now it gave me the language selection..  did not do that before i started over on my usb drive.

what i changed/ did different...   

checked dell smbios box

on the drop ssdt section i  did not check the one entry that had letters after ssdt instead of numbers 

when i selected verbose and debug i uncheck all the other boxes.

also did the unselect edid injection

 

not sure which of those fixed it  not sure which of those you intended me to do the first time and i misunderstood.

 

how can i go about making the usb work without making changes so that  when i move the efi partition to the ssd it boots correctly

 

i can it again and disabled the edid injection through the options...  same black screen...  not sure why  but ever since i started over everything is alot faster..  booting into the clover bootloader was real slow before .....   does having the touch screen make a difference with the black screen.    i also saw a power management error about not recognizing the cpu 

i don think so...   i check the config in clover configuration and its still there set for intel.  and i didnt go into that section of the settings  

that seemed very different.....

i did not see the nvme errors this time  i saw messages about ntfs partition and windows being hibernated..

 

but instead of mac os loader after all the messages i got black screen

just to be safe  i started completely over wiped usb and efi partition.. reloaded high sierra installer installed clover added 7270 boot pack and HFS driver...   anything else i should add?  it won't boot into installer  gets stuck at something about ioTimerSyncClockManager

is the 950 pro supposed to work?  i kept reading something about 512 vs 4k blocks
