Hello,

Well I hope I can get some help from some Mac Guru :LOL:

The PC is SFF Dell Optiplex 5055 only the SSD (noname) is not from the original computer
In bios AMD-V is enable, Secureboot is Disable
I followed this guide on youtube to create a EFI.
I downloaded Sonoma Basesystem with this code
Code:
python3 macrecovery.py -b Mac-937A206F2EE63C01 -m 00000000000000000 download
I used the dell specific option mentionned in the guide and the config.plist was validated by the application.
The only thing I was not sure is the Kext for Network, since the ethernet is BCM5762B0KMLG I used BCM5722D.kext

Note1: I also tested with the SecureBootMod on disabled on the config.plist
Note2: UpdateSMBIOSmo is set to Custom because otherwise OCAT gives an error since I am using Dell

here is the error I get after I choose DMG to boot:

I replaced Sonoma with Ventura and I had same error BUT after it booted to MacOS install.

New problem is "No Network Connection"

Must be the ethernet Kext.

This PC is using BCM5762B0KMLG if I refer to the website.

And only Kext I found was BCM5722D.kext
 
I found this https://github.com/unitedastronomer/AppleBCM57XXEthernet

Ethernet (Internet) is working I can ping local ip and Internet ip.

But the latency is too high I have 1000MS when I ping an internet IP on this computer.

I can't install macOS ventura I got an error "The recovery server could not be contacted"

Try NVRAM reset and then check. If the error persists, change the DNS.
Thanks for your reply I'll test it Tuesday when I am back Tuesday.
