Stuck on Installation apple logo

😍😍Good News. I have gone through the OpenCore guide and I successfully booted into the installer and I managed to get the "macOS Installer" option after changing boot args like this in OpenCore boot menu--> "-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=11 npci=0x2000 -wegnoegpu" , after restarting after choosing the option "macOS installer" I am getting stuck on this screen shown in the image, I will try to fix this issue on my own until someone reply and I will notify about the result

Bro anyone please reply if know the solution I almost there to complete installation,,plzplzplz 1000 thanks
 
1. If this is a compatibility issue then how can I be able to install on VMWare
On VMware, you really don't passthrough the real disk which attaches to the IONVMe kext.

2. No I am unable to boot into the installer with my created EFI but I can boot into the installer with GitHub EFI, as per the guide I won't use that GitHub EFI I will create my own EFI wisely.
This is the image of the installation on bare metal via GitHub EFI but it stuck on installation.
Yes, creating EFI for your own hardware is best idea and you avoid tons of problems in the first place.

The EFI boots correctly. However, the system enters into KP. Disable NootedRed.kext and use -wegnoegpu flag for now and then check. You should be booted to the installer.

I thought the Catalina would install faster than normal due to its smaller size, Should I go with Montery, Ventura or Sequoia?


No, I am unable to boot into the installer after Disabling NootedRed.kext and using -wegnoegpu flag

But after re-enabling NootedRed.kext with wegnoegpu I can boot into usb installer and 3rd macos installer option(that after install the additional option shown in opencore menu).

You should go with Ventura as that would give you more seamless experience and you would have less hassle.

The reason why you have stuck could be due to the macOS Catalina or most likely the SSD you have is causing the problems as stated above. You should try to use macOS Ventura on any supported SSD or you can also use an external SSD to install.
 
ok macOS Ventura I am coming for you👍🙂 I won't stop until this s**t gets installed in my system.

Good Luck!
Ok, I tried for macOS Ventura(Olarila Ventura.raw("Is it ok to use this Olarila ?")), I can boot into the installer but can not format my Samsung SSD partition into APFS format and If I try to install it on HFS+ format it gets stuck, The Same thing is happening with Catalina but after trying 3-4 times SSD gets formatted into APFS format in Catalina and then gets stuck in installation. I don't have any other SSD right now but I will receive a Seagate Expansion 1TB External HDD - USB 3.0 for Windows and Mac next month, Can I use it to install Mac on it?

As per your latest video "How to Create macOS Sequoia Bootable USB on Windows Without Mac & Transmac | Hackintosh" I wanted to try this method of direct download from the internet via recovery because I don't wanna flash my memory card 100 times and destroy it, but the problem is that I don't have fast internet 13 GB download takes 5-8 hours. So for now, I have to wait Until I get a fast internet and HDD

,,, You know what I flashed my Samsung SSD partition and USB minimum 20-30 times and an uncountable amount of restarts and hard restarts to install macOS still failed ☠️

Now people will say that I am impatient , they don't that I am trying this since 2 years with huge disappointments

That seems to be an SSD issue. If you have an enclosure, you can use it as external drive and the installation would be successful.
