HiSie works fine on all my laptops (D630n, E6220, E6230, E6440). APFS not recommended on HDDs, only on SSDs. 'causes very slow performance on legacy HDDs. Most people will probably stay with HFS+ to begin with. Apart from that, HiSie operates like Sierra. Installation is just a little more complex with several reboots and need to boot the Recovery partition to complete installation. Works perfectly with Enoch too. You can use the latest version too (minimum required is r2829 or r2839, can't remember).

Last time I checked, wireless connections could not operate beyond 11Mbps, so you really should consider replacing your card.

The ALC292 kext has to be installed to /Library/Extensions to be cached as opposed to injected through the Clover EFI folder. Otherwise, the AppleHDA patch cannot be applied. Once you've moved the kext there, repair permissions & rebuild your cache. Detailed guidance for this is available in the FAQ section. Regarding the DW1506, check up the wireless thread in the FAQ section. This will lead you to a dedicated thread on supported cards and associated patches if applicable.

You should have audio with standard installation process and the steps & files of the guide. Regarding wifi, please check the FAQ section. It's there for that very purpose... You'll have to identify the exact card model installed in your laptop.

Maybe something wrong with the on-the-fly patches then... You're now using a pre-patched AppleHDA kext, i.e. it'll be overwritten at next update by a vanilla version and you'd lose audio again.

You need a CPU with SSE4 instructions set for Sierra and, naturally, for High Sierra. There is no workaround afaik. Consider it similar to Lion's minimum requirement back in those days, i.e. a Core2Duo.

You can always delete the PrelinkedKernels folder prior to rebuilding the cache. I'm not seeing any references to the dummy kext for the IDT codec so I have to presume it's not properly installed in /L/E. Make sure to follow the process detailed in post #3.

Just verify that the proper layout-id is injected in DSDT's HDEF device but I would guess so through the bootpack.

No need to quote every message you reply to... Q6600 is of those models I mentioned as non compatible with Sierra. It's the reason why you can't boot your Sierra installer. You'd have to run your system on a Q8xxx or Q9xxx CPU for Sierra.

Please post your Clover EFI folder. Are you injecting the correct layout-id 0x0a260006 and faking desktop HD4600 on this HD4400 laptop? You may have to inject EDID too.

It would greatly help if you would post your system's specifications. You've stated you have a Core2Quad and that's not SandyBridge. Core2Duo/Core2Quad pre-date 1st gen Core "i" CPUs such as i3/i5/i7-xxxYY. SandyBridge CPUs are 2nd gen Core "i" with models such as i3/i5/i7 -2xxxYY or related Xeon & low-end CPUs. We won't be able to comment on your Clover setup and kexts unless we know what hardware you have in terms of CPU, chipset, graphics, LAN, WLAN, audio, etc. In case you still ignored this, please note that Sierra requires a CPU with SSE4 instructions set. Not all C2D/C2Q CPUs have that, only later Penryn/Yorkfield models. If your system does not meet that bare minimum, your won't even be able to boot a Sierra installer and you'll be limited to El Capitan at best (until you swap CPU with a Sierra-compatible model, if feasible). For instance, Kenstfield Q6xxx CPUs are no go for Sierra. So, let's start at the beginning... NB: no trace of nVidia injection in any of your posted Clover configs.

Usual IDT 92HD93 codec of the Latitude E6x30 series in this laptop so use the usual AppleHDA patching method: install the dummy kext to /Library/Extensions, repair permissions and rebuild your cache (details available here) apply the AppleHDA kext on-the-fly patches (details of the find/replace bytes available here)

I have BT4.0 DW380 in my E6230 + some DW1510 cards available. I'll have to try them out again but I don't think these will be sufficient to give you full airdrop + handoff. I'm pretty sure I tried before but they would not give me the desired services. Personally, I disabled my DW380 in BIOS and went for an Apple BCM94360CD + adapter board in my E62x0 laptops and everything works natively.

As detailed here, Haswell Intel HD Graphics of 4th gen non "i" series CPUs such Pentium or other Celeron is not supported. There's no workaround. Unless you can change your CPU to an i3/i5/i7 with Intel HD 4200/4400/4600/etc. graphics, I'm afraid your laptop is not suitable for Hackintoshing purposes.

"About us" menu or bottom right corner of the web page:

Which GPU did you go for? Remember that Hackintoshes do not support dual GPU switching... So, it's either the nVIdIA dGPU or the Intel iGPU, the latter having more chances to work than the former.

Guys, please consult the FAQ section of the forum before posting,g. Thanks.

NVRAM.plist... Tried to remove that before you boot your USB installer?

It's got be your USB installer that contains something wrong from the very beginning then. Watch what you copy as a bootpack...

Strange that the OS is asking for the password after every single sudo command. I'm used to password at the 1st command only, not the subsequent ones...

Describe: "the machine can´t read the hdd, loading starts, but nothing happens." Right now, it seems the bootloader is not installed or configured properly.

I can only suggest that you: make a low-level reformatting of your USB drive (so as to wipe out absolutely everything on it) take out your internal SSD, currently setup with Sierra

It seems Qualcomm Atheros module 0cf3:e300 is not in the list of supported devices on p1...

You're gonna have to give us a little more substance than that. Like how your system is configured and so on... Meantime: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9297-dell-inspiron-n5010-os-x-install/&do=findComment&comment=63336
