Try updating the following kexts in /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other: Lilu.kext Whatevergreen.kext Links: https://github.com/vit9696/Lilu/releases https://github.com/vit9696/Lilu/blob/master/KnownPlugins.md Boot with -igfxvesa until installation is complete, might take a couple of reboots.

boot with -igfxvesa as recommended earlier

If you only have 1 memory module, make sure it's on the 1st slot. You'll have to take off the cover on the bottom to check or in the BIOS.

at clover, press spacebar. Enable verbose and debug 0x100 mode to see where it hangs it's most likely graphics issue. in that case, boot with -igfxvesa you can add it by going into Options during boot by pressing O

Sounds like you didn't format your USB correctly. Make sure to format it to GUID / Journal Extended before recreating the Installer

Ok, after some research I think that is the EFI boot manager. When you boot with F12, did you select the USB drive from under Legacy or UEFI? You should select it under the latter.

@golosin2 What brand/model is your factory SSD or NVMe?

Try different ports or different USB. I'm not even sure how to get to that screen even if I try. Can you upload or replace the screenshot with a better quality? It's really blur

It's already included in the EFI folder I linked. Have you looked ???

UEFI Only. All in my guide. Yes, replace the EFI and add the bootpack Install for UEFI booting only Install Clover in the ESP Drivers64UEFI\DataHubDxe-64 Drivers64UEFI\FSInject-64 Drivers64UEFI\SMCHelper-64 Drivers64UEFI\ApfsDriverLoader-64 Drivers64UEFI\AptioMemoryFix-64 Drivers64UEFI\PartitionDxe-64 Add to Drivers64UEFI\HFSPlus.efi (Not included in Clover installer)

Are you sure that's what you're using? Because it's not what I linked you to. The version of Clover is old, files are not from bootpack I linked you to. Seems the USB installer is made from TMX Better start from scratch. Create a new vanilla USB installer using the well known process...createinstallmedia Use the EFI+Bootpack that I had linked

post your clover folder for review

Add this to kextToPatch to disable USB Port limit. You can skip steps 10 to 13. Just plug in each port with USB2.0 and USB3.0 devices. Delete what's not highlighted. Export and save the USBPort.kext

can you navigate down and boot with the USB?

What key combo did you use to get there? Lets start from scratch with the Bios. Load Default, hit apply. Reboot back to the Bios, set to the following: UEFI Legacy Option ROMs enable AHCI Secure boot disabled CPU XD enabled Press F12 when you see the DELL logo. At the boot option select the USB install to boot from

Check Boot Option priority in BIOS. See if the diagnostic partition is set as primary.

Discrete card is now fully disable! You have way too much drivers in driver/UEFI Remove OsxLowMemFixDrv.efi if you're using OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi You have FixDarwin and FixDarwin7 enabled, disable FixDarwin7, FixDarwin is enough

download this EFI, download the bootpack and place it inside /EFI/Clover. Now you have full EFI folder

Probably attached to EH01 or EH02

Upon boot and plug in an HDMI or DP external monitor, does the internal display go blank?

I mean the version of touchpad on the system, not kexts version. For example: E6420 and E6430 has v3 touchpad E7440 has v5 touchpad E7450 has v7 touchpad E7470 has v8 touchpad The kext supports v3 and v5 quite smoothly, and somewhat supports v7 and v8, just not smoothly. With the kexts install, run this in terminal to determine what version you have. I'm pretty sure E7270 is the same as the E7470. log show | grep ALPS

You are missing HFSPlus.efi in /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI found in my guide. Click on the Mojave Guide link to take you there. Or you could remove the disable VBoxHFS.efi driver from the Config file. Both would work.

miniDP audio should work if the right patch is added. Post your debug files with the miniDP connected. There's some development for the SDCard for this model but had stopped for a while (Realtek RTS525A). Check here. You can donate money if you want further development to occur as it's very time consuming. Dr. Hurt has made some development for the Alps touchpad, but it only works well for older v3 and maybe v5. Newer v7 and v8 definitely has issue. You can try it here. He too has stopped further development. For Mojave, you'll have to use the version compiled by Bronxteck.

You forgot to add Rehabman's VoodooPS2Controller.kext, that is needed for keyboard.

Replace ApplePS2Controller and replace it with VoodooPS2Controller by Rehabman. Upgrade VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID to the latest and move them to /Library/Extensions Repair permissions and rebuild cache Reboot
