I have sandybridge G73sw but its uefi not working. So wasted 4 days on efi thinking i am making mistake. tried every version.

Efi partition and Mac partition with sequoia - did not boot - efi is enabled in boot option but it just ignores it. so i chose usb without efi

So i tried clover setup to boot legacy. Which able to boot and show clover screen. but if i edit config.plist and update smbios settings , the boot usb option disappears

Without editing it crashes

Seems like your hardware is Legacy, not UEFI.
 
it crashes in all. Can someone give me clover EFI that work on G73sw asus laptop Sandy bridge 2630qm with nvidia 460m graphics. Urgent.

I am noob. once mac boot i can read and fix. because its crashing i am out of clue
 
1730073194454.png why mac does this. i had same 5114 open clover bootloader app. may be i downloaded it from somewhere other than github
 
ok i figured out. its something in settings and run it anyway
