Black screen when booting into installer

What do you mean?
Boot to BIOS. When at the main page (where all the system related information is shown), take a picture and send it over here.

Is there any info on the CPU which can be checked from BIOS?
 
Great. Can you post the revised EFI?
 
What do you mean ?
 
Make the following changes:

Remove SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP and replace it with SSDT-EC-DESKTOP.aml
Disable the CpuPm Table.
Set the SMBIOS to iMacPro1,1 for the time being.

Ensure that you're running A19 BIOS version.

Try booting Big Sur or Monterey/Ventura.
