Can the wifi be replaceable? Or is it built-in?

Config file is totally wrong for this system. You have an IvyBridge which should be MBA5,1 or MBP9,1 and not Haswell MBA6,2 which is what you have set. The Graphics injection is also wrong as you have it at HD4400/HD4600, you need it to be either 03006601 for low res or 04006610 for high resolution. But since you have Optimus disabled, Intel HD graphics be disabled anyway.

post debug file

As @arsradu suggested, just update to latest Clover and update the kexts to the latest. If you have 3rd party kexts in /L/E make sure to update those as well, repair permission and rebuild cache. See if it still boots. If no issue, then continue upgrading. For sure you'll need a minimum of Clover v5107 to boot 10.15.4. I would recommend just upgrading to the latest v5118 at the time of writing this.

The Option menu is basically for you to temporarily change settings to your Config file if you made a mistake and system no longer boot. Are you using your own Config file or the one I had linked?

Launch Clover Configurator. Mount EFI (Select your EFI partition) Select Install Drivers Under Drivers UEFI 64 bit, search for CsmVideoDxe, select and download. This will add the driver to /E/C/Drivers/UEFI. Reboot to see if this corrects your boot screen.

Probably not since the Clover files is old. Just replace the Config file, ACPI folder and Kext folders. Maybe update the kexts inside the kexts/Other folder too

Last file on the bottom of guide is the EFI folder

Ok, let's confirm. You have these 3 kexts added to /L/E only and not in clover/kext/Other BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext //make sure it's this and not BrcmFirmwareData.kext BrcmPatchRAM3.kext Run Hackintool again to rebuild the cache Reboot and check again. If it's still showing firmware 4096, then you have a caching issue.

did you remove the kexts from /clover/kexts/Other?

try using Hackintool.app utility to repair the permission

What Codec does it have? ALC255? Can't you use AppleALC.kext with the corresponding layout-id? Post the kext you're using for Audio and layout-id used

Not, they are the same. Remove BrcmFirmwareData.kext from /L/E You'll need to unlock Catalina's protection before running the repair permissions and rebuild cache, as you can see above, kexts were omitted. Read the FAQ to see how to unlock Catalina protection.

Boot with verbose + debug=0x100 mode so you can get a clue to why it's rebooting. At Clover gui, press the spacebar, then select the boot option. Post the KP

so you now have BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareData.kext, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext in /Library/Extensions? Make sure it's BrcmFirmwareData.kext, and not BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext that goes into /L/E. Repair permission and rebuild cache went smoothly? Does firmware show a different # other than 4096?

NB: No need to quote on your replies, just go to reply when you respond. Ok, now regarding BT. Go to system information, check Bluetooth. Look at the Firmware version. If it's 4096, then that mean the firmware kext is not loaded. If this is the case, then remove BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext, and BrcmPatchRAM3.kext from clover kext Add BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareData.kext, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext to /L/E instead. Repair permissions and rebuild cache. Check the firmware again Test BT again if firmware is anything but 4096.

i7-6820HQ will be fine. Set BIOS to this: UEFI AHCI Legacy Option ROMs - disabled (uncheck) Enabled Switchable Graphics (Check) Discrete Graphics Controller Direct Output Mode - disabled (uncheck) Secure Boot - disabled TPM 1.2/2.0 - disabled (Optional) Disable all USB/LAN/WLAN/AC Wake Support

Follow this instead but replace bootpack with my files https://www.olarila.com/topic/5794-hackintosh-guide-install-macos-with-olarila-image-step-by-step-install-and-post-install-windows-or-mac/

For wifi, add these kexts to clover kext Lilu.kext AirportBrcmFixup.kext For BT, add these kexts to clover kext BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext BrcmPatchRAM3.kext

Post your files, looks like it could be issue with the Intel I2C drivers

You can start with my Clover guide for Catalina here Use the attached files for bootpack, content goes into /EFI/Clover after you have install Clover If you want to dual boot, make sure to partition the drive after format, set the partition for Windows to MsDos Fat, MacOS to Journal Extended 3350_Catalina.zip

Post full system's spec. I think you could try using 3550's files found in our forum. Yes, you can do dual boot, best to install MacOS first and than Windows 10. Make sure to format disk to GUID / Extended Journal. Is it safe? You be the judge...

For Brightness: Add SSDT-BRT6.aml and replace your SSDT-OC-XOSI.aml with mine and add patch to ACPI Comment: BRT6,2 to BRTX,2, with SSDT-BRT6.aml Find = 14204252 543602 Replace = 14204252 545802 For SDCard reader, add Sinetek-rtsx.kext to Kernel E7270_Brightness&SDCard.zip
