Installation Guide
0. BIOS settings

• Virtualization: [Disabled]
• SATA Operation: [AHCI]
• Boot List Option: [UEFI]
• Secure Boot: [Disabled]
• LoadLegacy Option Rom (CSM): [Enabled]

Note: the default DVMT prealloc for this laptopt is 64MB so no BIOS patching is needed. Changing to a higher setting and patching the framebuffer to match the value didn't seem to solve the resolution issue. The BIOS used in this laptop is A08.
1. Building the macOS Installer
Partitioning the USB
Use a 16GB USB2 partitioned as GPT (hidden EFI partition automatically created).
With the USB pluged in, determine its identifier with 'diskutil' command, in Terminal:
Repartition the USB, for example /dev/disk2:

Building the Installer
Download macOS Mojave from AppStore.
Use the same mechanism you would use to create a USB installer for a real Mac (createinstallmedia), in Terminal:

Installing Clover
Download Clover Installer from RehabMan fork: https://github.com/RehabMan/Clover
Run the Clover Installer package (Clover UEFI on GPT):

• select the target of the install to 'install_macos' using 'Change Install Location'
• select 'Customize' (the default is Legacy)
• check 'Install for UEFI booting only', 'Install Clover in the ESP' will automatically select
• check 'BGM' from Themes
• the defaults for Drivers64UEFI are recommended

After making your selections you can continue to 'Install' the Clover bootloader to your USB.
Add HFSPlus.efi to EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI (not included in the Clover installer): https://github.com/JrCs/CloverGrowerPro/raw/master/Files/HFSPlus/X64/HFSPlus.efi
Preparing essential kexts
Download and copy to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other the essential kexts listed below.

• AirportBrcmFixup.kext: https://github.com/acidanthera/AirportBrcmFixup
• FakeSMC.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-FakeSMC-kozlek
• Lilu.kext: https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu
• USBInjectAll.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-USB-Inject-All
• VoodooPS2Controller.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller
• WhateverGreen.kext: https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen

Choosing a config.plist
Download config_HD5300_5500_6000.plist from: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/archive/master.zip

• comment framebuffer patch on Devices/Properties/PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x02,0)
• set DellSIMBIOSPatch to YES on KernelAndKextPatches
• rename it to config.plist and replace in EFI/CLOVER.

2. Using the macOS Installer
Note: The SSD must be previously formated by Windows or Disk Utility.

1. Boot your computer to the USB.
2. Clover bootloader screen shows up, select 'install_macos' (boot verbose).
3. Use Disk Utility to partition your drive as GPT, create a APFS partition and install macOS to your formatted partition.
4. Clover bootloader screen shows up (it can happen many times), select 'Boot macOS from YourPartition'. 'YourPartition' will be named depending on what you chose in Disk Utility in step 3.
5. If everything goes well you'll arrive at the macOS desktop.

Note: If the installer finishes and you get a black/gray screen that looks garbled when you use keyboard, find a way to get to System Preferences -> Displays -> set Resolution to Scaled -> change Scale to a larger text.
Note: If you can't reach System Preferences to scale down resolution, boot with ivalid ig-platform-id, install some VNC viewer and control the Macbook from another device.
3. Basic Post Installation
Installing Clover to SSD
The Clover installation to the SSD is the same as installing it to the USB, except that the install targer will be your macOS system volume.

To mount the EFI partition containing Clover, in Terminal:
An easier way to do this is directly with 'diskutil' command (only having EFI partition labeled as 'EFI'), in Terminal:
Select on BIOS/BOOT add UEFI boot entry option, and search for the partition containing Clover and select CLOVERX64.efi. Put the boot option at the top so it'll boot first.
Note: the IONetworkingFamily.kext patch found on KernelAndKextPatches/KextToPatch must be removed now that we have a running system.
Installing Kexts
Install kexts from Clover and those needeed to L/E from Terminal:
Note that once you install a kext with incorrect permissions or wrong location, you must remove it first:
