In BIOS Try enabling CSM Secure boot -> disabled TPM -> disabled

Make sure you have EAPDFix installed for sound after sleep. There's no VGA on my system nor on Mac's, so I never tried it. 0 = Internal 5 = HDMI 6 = DisplayPort There's no port 7 on my system. HDMI can cause hanging or not respond sometimes when hot pluggin/unplugging. DisplayPort seems to be more reliable on my system. You can try experimenting, see Hervé's guide on Haswell HD4600/HD4400 for ideas.

The bootpack, make sure it goes in /EFI/EFI/Clover overwriting the default folders/files there when you install Clover

Try the eSATA/USB combo port

No, usb size shouldn't be a problem, I use external USB drive 256GB. You format USB with GUID / Journal Extended? Have you tried different ports?

Rebuild your Installer. Sounds like it's corrupted.

Do you have UEFI set in the BIOS? Did you copy the files from the USB installer Clover files to the installed drive?

Try my config config.plist.zip

Try adding FakePCIID and FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics

Looking at your files, the following are missing CodecCommander.kext DSDT.aml In Config file, disable the following patch, it's for 10.11.x only Find: 8319D411 Name: AppleHDA Replace:00000000

Your SD Card reader is PCIe and is not supported. That patch only works on USB based card reader. Update: Hervé is right, I got them reversed.

Attach Config and DSDT for verification

Add this patch to DSDT # For SkyLake CPU on 10-series board into method label _DSM parent_adr 0x00160000 remove_entry; Into device name_adr 0x00160000 insert begin Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n {\n If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n Return (Package()\n {\n "device-id", Buffer() { 0x3A, 0xA1, 0x00, 0x00 }\n })\n }\n end;

Can you attach your DSDT/SSDT too?

Most likely your non standard board with EDP is the issue.

Please post your Clover folder, so I could examine it. Since you're faking with HD 520, try this This one works for me. Make sure you have UseIntelHDMI enabled under Devices <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>HD 520 HDMI #1</string> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>Find</key> <data> AQUJAAAEAAA= </data> <key>Name</key> <string>AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebuffer</string> <key>Replace</key> <data> AQUJAAAIAAA= </data> </dict> this second one is not needed for my E7470. It disables audio with miniDP so I left it disabled <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>HD 520 HDMI #2</string> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>Find</key> <data> AgQKAAAEAAA= </data> <key>Name</key> <string>AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebuffer</string> <key>Replace</key> <data> AgQKAAAIAAA= </data> </dict>

You need CodecCommander to fix the sleep issue with EAPD.

It's a known issue for Dell with IvyBridge with HD4000. You need to downgrade your BIOS to A02 or A03 and then upgrade to no higher than A11. It's on both Hervé's and my guides.

Nope that's all you need.

Try these files. Make sure you have switchable graphics enabled. 7510_disable_nvidia.zip

Of course, everyone is busy these days. Let me know if you need help with the guide, you could use mine as example even though it's not the best, it does it's job.

Make sure to add the extra patch for Sierra. My bootpack was make for ElCapitan without that patch.

Nice. Maybe you could write a guide to help others.

In the folder /Kexts/Other/LE, copy all the kexts there to /Library/Extensions and run the permission fix and rebuild cache. See here
