If you're struggling to create your 2 partition USB:

 

:- Plug in USB

:- Open Terminal.app

:- "diskutil list" and find the disk number of the drive eg: "/dev/disk2"

 

NEXT PART WILL NOT PROMPT FOR CONFIRMATION AND THERE ISN'T A TRIVIAL WAY TO UNDO THIS SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT DISK NUMBER

 

:- diskutil partitionDisk /dev/diskX 2 GPT "MS-DOS FAT32" CLOVER 1G "Journaled HFS+" Untitled R

 

(replacing diskX with the number of your disk, eg: disk2)

How can u archive that? I can't make work well brightness keys, it goes to maximum or minimum with one press and only function once. 

 

at 10.10.5 i have a more range of brightness levels, in 10.12.5 the minimum brightness is not the same, is too bright.

as per my config, HD4000 does not requires heavy config. Make sure you tick "Inject Intel" and you inject "0x01668086" in Fake ID in clover (see screenshots).I'm using some kexts from Rehabman (FakePCIID_Intel_GbX + some others).  

This should run smoothly with full graphics accelerations. Let me know.

Thanks! I am trying this now. Winch is your screen resolution?

I booted now from your config.plist, just changed SMBios, and installed this kexts form Rehabman, but my screen is having a lot of pixels error https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7hSFlGtCO3OT200S0szdEV0MG8/view?usp=sharing

Well, I would not recommend to use my config.plist as it is. You should just copy/paste the parts you think that can be useful for your laptop, by using Xcode. i especially customized several parts to stick with my config (like memory RAM and so on...). Those would not be relevant for your hardware.

That's why in my previous post I have posted some screenshots for you to fine tune your config, based on your hardware.

My screeen resolution is 1366 x 768

Have you already a patched SSDT ? If not, use MacIASL and use the following patch, from rehabman repository.

I'm still having graphic problems... I'm thinking in do a new fresh installation and try again. How you proceed your installation?

 

Thanks for all help that you are giving.
