[SOLVED] install Catalina on ASUS k571GT Intel® Core™ i7 9750H - INTEL UHD 630

[promisedSavior]

Hi, first thank you for your clean guides.

I tried to create a boot USB flash with Clover UEFI to install Catalina, here is what I did :
1. set BIOS Setting :

• first Set to Default setting.
• Network Stack = Disabled.
• Secure Boot = Disabled.
• SATA Mode = AHCI.
• VT-d Option = Disabled
• Intel Virtualization Technology = Enabled
• Fast Boot = Disabled

2. copy install file of Catalina in USB flash as mentioned in guide-how-to-boot-macos-installer-on-laptops
3. Installed Clover_r5118.pkg UEFI mode on USB flash
4. Placing required kexts in the EFI partition
5. Use config_UHD630 from here : RehabMan OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config
TEST the USB but it stuck on loading Clover logo in Scan entries
6. Then I edit config.plist as said in here : coffee lake CPU config.plist
Test the USB but it stuck on loading Clover logo in Scan entries AGAIN

I installed mac OS Catalina on another ASUS Laptop (K556UQ model) Before but Never stuck in this state and I don't know where this error come from, search in google but can't find a way to pass it.

I'm waiting for your suggestions, THANKS

also i tried to attach my EFI folder (2.3 Mb - theme folder excluded) but it says

• The uploaded file is too large for the server to process
  so I Upload it here : google drive EFI.zip

If you need support from this forum, you must follow the guides available here.

Here are some of the issues.

• The config.plist is not as per the guide. Use the config.plist from the guide on this forum.
• BIOS directory is only meant for Legacy BIOS. Remove it.
• You're having duplicate AptioMemoryFix drivers. Remove "AptioMemoryFix-64.efi".

HInt: The reason why you're stuck at scan entries is due to NVRAM. Install "EmuVariableUefi-64.efi".

Thanks, OK I use config.plist as mentioned in guide and did what you said. with "EmuVariableUefi-64.efi" I could load clover
after choose "Boot macOS Install", after a while screen glitched with a white on it:


last line of debug file is :

999:946  1:500  Using load options 'boot.efi dart=0 nv_disable=1 -disablegfxfirmware -cdfon -igfxnohdmi -v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1 '

and I attached debug file.
Another question is that I don't know am I need to Patch SSDT for disabling the Discrete Graphics now or after complete install ?

Great.

after choose "Boot macOS Install", after a while screen glitched with a white on it so I cant see what was the last line said.

USB related. Add Catalina port limit patch and you should be good to go.

I added these two in kernel and kext patches :

Name*: com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHostFamily
Find*: 83FB0F0F
Replace*: 83FB3F0F

Name* com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI
Find*: 83F90F0F
Replace*: 83F93F0F

No EC0 rename is added. Add EC0 rename.
and now I'm in installer, more info will be added soon as I go forward ...

Hi, I'm trying to copy iasl in /usr/bin
the SIP is disabled in config.plist (image attached) but bin folder is locked, in Get info Lock checkbox is disable, I can not add write permission for my user so I can't copy iasl in bin folder

and from terminal when I ran sudo cp iasl /usr/bin it says :
cp: /usr/bin/iasl: Read-only file system

I googled it but no success, Where is my problem ?

Make sure XHCI Handoff is Enabled in your BIOS.

Yes, EC0 patch is required for Catalina. I'll update the guides soon.
