Your config.plist is not as per the guide.

Start here:

Also, what's the exact model of your Samsung boot drive?

I have made the config.plist as per the OpenCore guide, but I will try to remake the file. And the SSD is a PM961but is already out of the laptop

 

[fajardo]

After remake the config.plist as per the guide, the installer still having the same behavior.

Ensure the config.plist is the revised one and not the previous one. It seems like you have attached the previous one. Double check.

That last config.plist is the revised, the newhave most of the disabled deleted, as per the guide, and the acpi's ans kekxs on order. The only thing that is the same is the kexs, because i need this kexs to the laptop to works as intended

It is not as per the guide. Please provide the revised config.plist/EFI.

Here are a few issues:

Remove SSDT-EC.aml and replace it with SSDT-EC-USBX.aml
Remove SSDT-AWAC and replace it with SSDT-AWAC-DISABLE.aml
Why are you using EnableWriteUnprotector and RebuildAppleMemoryMap together? Use the latter one.
You should consider removing all the extra kexts except for the mandatory ones.
Why are you using XhciPortLimit when you have the USB ports mapped?

Once you're done with the changes, save your config.plist. Restart the system and reset NVRAM twice. Attach the new PR files.

Also, it could be likely possible that this Laptop has NVRAM issues so better to use SSDT-PMC.aml. In addition, if you don't have the offline installer, use the online recovery method to install.

Remove SSDT-EC.aml and replace it with SSDT-EC-USBX.aml

I was using the USBX, but have renamed the file

Remove SSDT-AWAC and replace it with SSDT-AWAC-DISABLE.aml

What's the diference between the 2 files, because on the OC page only refere to SSDT-AWAC

Why are you using EnableWriteUnprotector and RebuildAppleMemoryMap together? Use the latter one.

I have forgot to disable the EnableWriteUnprotector

Why are you using XhciPortLimit when you have the USB ports mapped?

On the video guide, isn't mentioned to not enable the XhciPortLimit if the ports are mapped


I have redone the config.plist, and now it crash during the boot, and showing this message:

Its about official release and custom made.

On the video guide, isn't mentioned to not enable the XhciPortLimit if the ports are mapped

Cause, the guide is outdated and at that time, the XhciPortLimit quirk was broken.

Are you trying to boot the installer or booting to the installed disk?

Also, attach your complete EFI. Just config.plist isn't enough!
