Help with installer

[biglibigli]

hi,
I used steps here but I think I miss something in the way.
first of all I use mojave on vmware for creating USB installer and on my laptop I have a 128gig SSD drive with no partition.

I placed macOS Catalina installer in applications.
erase a usb2 16gig with OS X Extended (Journaled) and GUID Partition Map
used terminal with this command to create macOS Bootable USB :
Code:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB

then run Clover_v2.5k_r5099.pkg to install clover on USB drive.
select my usb drive and in customize menu Configure the following options :

• Install Clover for UEFI booting only
• Install Clover in the ESP
• Themes: Select any
• and in UEFI drivers it select items by itself and I don't change it.

then mount the EFI with Clover Configurator and placed these kext files in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Others/
Removed all the folders, 10.x, except 'Other'
kext :
FakeSMC.kext, Lilu.kext, USBInjectAll.kext, VoodooPS2Controller.kext, WhateverGreen.kext

then copy HFSPlus.efi in /EFI/Clover/drivers/UEFI/

and finally I opened Config.plist with Clover Configurator and replace all config from this url
https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Cl...ster/config_HD615_620_630_640_650_spoof.plist

in text mode and click on synchronized button, then close the Clover Configurator and click OK.

Setting Up BIOS :

• Set Optimized Defaults
• save and exit.

open bios again and :

• Set Network Stack to Disabled.
• Set Secure Boot to Disabled.
• Set SATA Mode to AHCI.
• Set VT-d Option to Disabled
• Set Intel Virtualization Technology to Disabled.
• Save & Exit Setup

I attached EFI Folder that I created.
when I attach USB to my laptop, clover boot normal with one item to select : Boot macOS from Install macOS catalina
when press enter screen got black, USB light flashes for 4 second and then noting happen !!
where can I find errors and how can I fix them ?

thsnks, I change config.plist to normal one.

I placed ApfsDriverLoader-64 and AptioMemoryFix-64 in /EFI/Clover/drivers/UEFI/

and its start loading !! thanks again

 

[EliteMacx86]

thsnks, I change config.plist to normal one.

Good.

how can I find ApfsDriverLoader-64 ? i searched them but don't know which one is correct

You can find this in Clover installer.

• Do not forget ApfsDriverLoader-64 to install.
• It's recommended to use AptioMemoryFix-64. With the use of AptioMemoryFix-64, you don't need to use EmuVariableUefi-64. If you're having issues when booting, use OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 or OsxAptioFixDrv-64.
• Do not install AppleKeyFeeder-64 from Drivers UEFI.

These are the notes and you must take care of.

should I create this folder drivers64UEFI in CLOVER folder by myself or just place them in /EFI/Clover/drivers/UEFI/ ?

New Clover has drivers/UEFI directory.

and when I download these

Downloads

• FakeSMC.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-FakeSMC-kozlek
• VoodooPS2Controller.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller
• USBInjectAll.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-USB-Inject-All
• Lilu.kext: https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu
• WhateverGreen.kext: https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen

there are some other files, not just a .kext file, paste them too or ignore them ?

Please read the notes for the downloads in the guide.

thanks, I did what you said but now I stuck in apple logo with a progress bar that don't move in 95% I think.

I used RehabMan-FakeSMC-2018-0915.zip that have 5 more kext files next to FakeSMC.kext and I copy all of them in kext folder.
but where should I place HWMonitor.app ? don't understand form its note

and i just copy Lilu.kext from download zip not Lilu.kext.dSYM
and i just copy WhateverGreen.kext from download zip not SSDT-PNLF.dsl, WhateverGreen.kext.dSYM, WhateverName

I don't know what are .dsl and .dSYM files for

Only copy FakeSMC kext. It's mentioned in the guide as Notes.
No idea without the logs or PR files. Attach your files.

Ok, where are logs or PR files ?

You must attach all the files in a single zip file. The Clover folder is big. Check the FAQ thread to know how to attach your Clover files. Apple and Themes folder must be omitted.
