Trying to boot recovery image on Sandy Bridge (for install), no succes

Right now i’m at work i’ll post the efi a bit later. Regarding efi driver, if i use HfsPlus.efi i get this error and opencore wont boot, just halt like this:

P.S.: this is not my error, the image is from web, but it’s the same as mine.
Seems like you're booting via Windows instead of OpenCore. Use Boot Menu and boot correctly.
 
I’m booting always thru boot menu, F11 for my mobo… reseted the nvram, but same error.
i even removed the all ssds from computer, but nothing, with hfsplus i think it’s a no go…

This is how my boot menu looks like, maybe it helps.

Are you booting via the UEFI Prefix?

Using the HfsLegacy, attach a verbose video.
 
Tried with both Catalina/High Sierra

Try adjusting the Quirks. Remove the dGPU and change SMBIOS and then try. Make sure to reset NVRAM twice.
 
Quirks from which category? an what SMBIOS should i try? remove the dGPU from efi or from motherboard?

Booter Quirks. Try iMacPro1,1. Remove the dGPU hardware from the Motherboard.
 
Ok. I’ll do that this evening, one question though, maybe obvious but, i should remove the boot args too for the dGPU when i remove it from hardware, right? I’m asking just to be shure.
