(as far as just the SIP issues goes: is correct: Cmd + R + S, at least on Sierra, gets you recovery and single user and you can csrutil disable from there). which fails because it is a graphical environment and I have a failing GPU. SIP can only be disabled in Recovery mode. crutils disable, to disable SIP, won't work in Single User mode. Unfortunately, the System/Library/Extensions directory fall under Sierra's SIP protection so I can't carry out those instructions. Basically, boot into Single User mode and move some of AMD*.kext files from /System/Library/Extensions/ elsewhere. You can revert to using just the internal Intel graphics. My local repair shop, which is usually pretty handy, says it can't fix it. This has been a known problem, and Apple addressed with an extended warranty on these models's GPUs, which ended Dec 31st 2016. This is what I understand from my research: My trusty MBP 17" 2011 is now hitting the failing AMD GPU issues.
