Boot verbose, post photo of where it stops.

Also post EFI/Clover folder from USB.

Does it really matters if UEFI or Legacy boot?
In legacy... I disabled virtualization in my bios now after verbose is done stuck on apple logo with stuck progress bar
Actually I read that guide before posting here.

I don't know why you'd use legacy on a UEFI capable system.

There is no need to disable virtualization. (VT-d is different from virtualization, and is handled by dart=0 anyway).

If you read the guide, you'd be using a completely different driversUEFI64 setup.

Boot verbose to troubleshoot; provide quality photo of entire screen when it stops.
And post EFI/Clover folder.

FSInject64-64.efi is required.
OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi is probably needed too.
(if you had followed the guide, both would be present)

VoodooPS2Controller.kext is not the one recommended in the guide.
(if you had followed the guide, you'd have 1.8.13 or 1.8.14)

Also, read the section of the guide regarding trying various ig-platform-id values.

Also, read the section of the guide regarding your hardware details in your profile. Your profile does not specify your screen resolution and depending on what it is could change the strategy quite a bit.

Also, be patient with booting. Booting the installer from USB is not quick.

In short, follow the guide as written.
