Hackintosh Safe Mode Clover

 admin

Well, keeping it short. Couldn’t find all clover’s boot args, so here goes the list:

At this section you can add “Boot Flags” and “Kernel Flags” to be used by the system…

If you enter some extra boot flags into org.Chameleon.boot.plist, but they’re messing up your Hackintosh’s bootloader, enter the -F boot flag to ignore them.-force64 Forces Mac OS X to boot into 64-bit mode.-legacy System loads in 32 bit mode while running on 64 bit version of Os X. Name: MyVolume Format: Mac OS Extended Scheme. You can use the spacebar on the boot screen to enter alternate boot modes such as verbose and safe mode.). Open Clover Configurator. Clover also supports booting many other OS such as Windows, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions. Clover Bootloader supports booting in both UEFI and Legacy modes. Interestingly, it supports UEFI firmware emulation, this allows us to boot into UEFI mode from Legacy mode. It is capable of booting.efi files even if Clover is booted in Legacy BIOS.

Here we will list only Clover’s proprietary “Boot Flags”, different flags, like for example,npci=0x2000, npci=0x3000, darkwake=0, etc…, should work as expected…
FlagAction
WithKextsBoot OS X loading System Kexts and ignoring kernelcache.
-vVerbose Boot.
-sBoot OS X into Single User Mode.
-xBoot OS X into SafeBoot (Safe Mode).
MountEFI=yes/diskXMount EFI partition at every boot or from disk X (X = disk number).
LogLineCount=0Set maximum number of lines for log file, default 0 (no Limit).
LogLocation=PATHSet the path for the log files to be saved.
LogEveryBoot=Yes/NoSave log files at every boot.

Here’s a completish guide though:

Hackintosh

Clover is a boot manager that allows you to select the OS you want to boot with. It is used mostly by Hackintosh users, that is, people that install MacOSX (along with other OSs, like Linux and Windows) on a non-Apple machine.

The Clover configuration can be quite tricky, and if you’re not lucky you can easily mess it up. That’s why it’s more than advisable to keep a backup of the /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist configuration file.

If you happen to break down your MacOSX boot, but you still have a working Windows boot on the same machine, you can follow these steps in order to restore a backup of config.plist:

  • Open an administrator console (run cmd.exe as Administrator) and type the following:
  • diskpart (open diskpart)
  • list disk (list your hard drives with)
  • select disk 1 (select the disk where your Clover EFI boot has been installed. 1 is just an example)
  • list partition (list the partitions available on the selected disk)
  • select partition 1 (select the boot EFI partition)
  • assign letter=s (assign a letter. S in this case)
  • exit (exit diskpart)
  • s: (go to the just mounted boot partition)
  • cd EFICLOVER
  • copy c:backupsconfig.plist . (c:backups is just an example. Replace this path by the path where you have your config.plist backup)

If everything worked fine, you can now restart and use your MacOSX boot again.
