Installing in UEFI without reefind (razer blade stealth 16gb ram 2016)

[Guerlan]

I'm trying to install Qubes on my Razer Blade Stealth (4k 2016 16gb ram). It has no legacy mode, so I need to install in UEFI mode. Also, I don't want to trust reefind.

Here's the problem I'm having. First, in the installaiton menu, anything I click leads me to this fast message that appears in the screen:

I followed https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/

First step says

In GRUB menu1, select “Troubleshoot”, then “Boot from device”, then press e.

There's no "Troubleshoot" option alone, instead, there is

"Troubleshoot - verbose boot and install Qubes 3.2", so there is no “Boot from device” option to choose, because when I click this, I get the fast message and then return to the same screen. Anyways, I pressed 'e' and edited the line by adding /mapbs /noexitboot at the end of it, then gave control-x. It displays a fast message again and returns to the edited text

Anybody knows what am I doing wrong?

update: I doscovered that Legacy Mode is called CSM on some BIOS(https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2838#issuecomment-349234545 ), so I found that my system actually supports it. However, when I boot into legacy mode, I only see an empty black screen, forever. Here's my CSM menu:

I'd however prefer to install it in uefi mode, if possible. Could somebody discover what is going on?

i'm not expert but from the photo there is launch video option rom [uefi
only]
to me it seems "use video card only in uefi mode"
so this could explain why you see nothing if you boot legacy.

try enable everything in that meny also for legacy/csm (but not pxe, is
not needed. it is network boot you don't need it).

try again legacy, it's easier to have it working.

yes, it worked with that video thing, but graphical installation won't launch, and text installation is buggy in 3.2. Anyways, I moved to 4.0rc3 and I'm having these problems now: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/drw9j_EuPPk

Anyways, the UEFI problem is still not fixed in 4.0rc3. Does somebody know what to do?
