Hi. I made a 10.13 PB USB installer using Terminal and latest Clover version. The USB drive boots up fine and gets to the "macOS Utilities" window. But when I select Install macOS, it just stays there forever and it doesn't open the installer window. Clover folder attached. Any help appreciated.

As I noted they were not as requested in the guide.

No.

But still no "Problem Reporting" files attached showing that you followed the guide...
(as noted, the files in post #1 are not per-guide).

I made a clean installation of Clover but now it bootloops on "still waiting for root device".

Your config.plist is not from the guide.

Placed the config.plist from your github repo. It boots fine now, but still won't start the installer. Hangs on the "macOS Utilities" window. I can open menu's, log etc and I can restart from the Apple menu. But the OS installer window does not pop up.

Your Clover/drivers64UEFI is not per guide (guide says to use OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi, or OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi if needed, but never OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi). And EmuVariableUefi-64.efi is missing... unless you are certain your native NVRAM works, you will probably need it.

And your Clover/kexts is not per guide. The FakeSMC.kext you're using is not the one linked from the guide (the one you have is very old).

Also, make sure you used createinstallmedia to create the install_osx partition on USB.
Use a USB2 stick.

Try following the guide as written...

Note: I find it sometimes useful to implement CPU PM for the installer with SSDT-PluginType1.aml (see CPU PM guide).

Finally... be patient. The installer is quite slow to come up in HS...
