When i press Option+Cmd+O+F while booting nothing happens, it continues to boot.

In section "3. Black screen" it is written:

The picture above actually only confirms DVD/USB booted using UEFI and there will be some means in firmware settings to ensure drives are booted in order to make UEFI installer run - the solution to which may possibly be as simple as ensuring SATA set to AHCI - check your vendors manual to check this. Also check UEFI Community Documentation Section 2.3 for more details.

Open Firmware's life in the Apple universe ended with the last PPC-Mac. Intel-Mac (as your MacBook Pro end 2011) use EFI.

Choose rEFIt (no longer maintained) or better rEFInd instead.

Please check this question and the answers at askubuntu.
