Introduction
Chameleon is the oldest group bootloader project of the hackintosh scene. It is a legacy bootloader, meaning it doesn't use the more modern boot capabilities of UEFI motherboards. For years we maintained a branch of Chameleon called Chimera. As of El Capitan and new security changes in OS X, we decided to move the site’s general recommendation to the more modern Clover bootloader, however legacy development with Chameleon continues. ErmaC at InsanelyMac reshaped the Chameleon code into a branch called ‘Enoch’. This branch can boot El Capitan, and also can patch the kernel on the fly, as Clover does.
This is not an official Enoch guide. This site recommends Clover for OS X El Capitan- the following guide is an alternative to this site’s main Clover method. Chameleon use on El Capitan is considered experimental, and for specific usage cases where Clover fails or cannot be used.
Download 'Enoch' Chameleon Installer:
The bootloader is delivered via a package installer. Advanced users may also compile Chameleon by downloading the full source.

Method
1. Create UniBeast USB
2. Install Chameleon to USB drive with Enoch installer
3. Copy kernel to /System/Library/Kernels/
4. Create /Extra/Extensions folder
5. Copy FakeSMC.kext and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to /Extra/Extensions
6. Boot and Install OS X (When booting from USB, be sure to choose non-UEFI boot entry)
7. Post-Installation - Install Chameleon to system drive + Kexts to /Library/Extensions
/Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist (USB Example)
There are very few differences between the traditional entries for Chimera and other Chameleon branches and Enoch. CsrActiveConfig is set as a separate key here for SIP removal in El Capitan.
/Extra/kernel.plist (USB Example)
Enoch branch introduces a special plist called kernel.plist that exists alongside org.chameleon.Boot.plist. It controls a kernel patching module embedded in Enoch. The user can switch on and off certain kernel patching properties, as in Clover.
Chameleon/Enoch Credits:
Enoch is ErmaC's Branch of Chameleon (2795) Chameleon is a boot loader built using a combination of components which evolved from the development of David Elliott's fake EFI implementation added to Apple's boot-132 project.
