E7250 High sierra bootpack (EFI folder)

[nickogaidarov]

Hello, SkyrilHD and thank you for your great work! I have tried your EFI pack for Big Sur and everything went smoothly. However it seems that i will need High Sierra instead of Big Sur because of old software i am planning to use. Can you please share an EFI folder for High Sierra? Thank you in advance and keep up the great work!

This EFI should work without an issue: https://github.com/SkyrilHD/Dell-E7250-Hackintosh/releases/tag/v2.8
Only thing for WiFi you need to replace AirportItlwm as 2.8 is for Big Sur. Get the High Sierra kext from here and replace it.

I just booted the High Sierra Installer myself and it works without an issue.

I downloaded (as suggested) the v2.8 EFI and the only change I did was the '-v' I added in the config. No other changes.

I was also stuck at End SetConsoleMode but after 5 seconds it booted right up. My guess is your installer is broken.

Thank you again for your time and effort to help me! I really appreciate it! I tried downloading it twice(with the two commands in the guide provided) before i post here. I will try with another USB drive and i will play with the BIOS settings.

P.S.: Can you share your installer and EFI folder just in case. Can i donate to the project?

Here you go, this is the EFI I tested: EFI.zip (had to remove AirportItlwm, otherwise I cannot upload)
The installer is quite big (offline installer) and would take days to upload with my internet speed. Are you using an online or offline installer?
I don't accept donations for various reasons.

EDIT: My BIOS settings are here

I will try tomorrow with your EFI and your BIOS settings. I downloaded the installer with macrecovery.py as i tried both of them:

High Sierra(10.13)

python macrecovery.py -b Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 -m 00000000000J80300 download
python macrecovery.py -b Mac-BE088AF8C5EB4FA2 -m 00000000000J80300 download

Thank you again!

I suggest you doing this way: Install any macOS (i.e. Big Sur) and download the full installer and create a bootable USB. It is time consuming but I only had better luck with offline installers.
