[Solved] Installer cannot boot m3-7y30

[AldoTar]

Based on your misc/preboot.log, I don't think you attempted boot after pressing F2.

Note: Maybe you have a BIOS setting issue.

Also, if you had followed the guide, there would be an installer partition named "install_osx". Your preboot.log has no indication of it. Instead I see, ""Install macOS High Sierra", which is not according to the guide...

I only didn't changed the name of the installer but I followed the guide.
For the F2 problem I don't know why you can't see it... I pressed F2 and then F4...
For the bios... You can see what I have done in OP (adding uefi/legacy boot)...
Right now I'm waiting to boot El capitan installer (at least I install something...) however the booting process of the installer is too slow... It is not possible that every boot I have to wait 1hour and 30 minutes... But sincerely I don't know what is wrong...

I use these small clues to detect whether you followed the guide or not.
If you didn't do the rename, you didn't follow the guide (the rename is part of the guide).

For the F2 problem I don't know why you can't see it... I pressed F2 and then F4...

You pressed F2, but then you didn't attempt to boot after you did that... hence only a partial log.
Correct procedure:
- reboot or cold start booting to USB
- press F2 and F4
- press spacebar and boot verbose
- take a photo when it stops (give plenty of time)

Upload EFI/Clover and resulting image.

For the bios... You can see what I have done in OP (adding uefi/legacy boot)...

Only you can know all the possible BIOS settings and what you have them set to (I cannot know without photos of each BIOS screen).

Make sure you use a USB2 stick (as per guide) and avoid a hub if possible.
Keep in mind USBInjectAll.kext is only to be used if you have failure to mount root without it.
(more USB guides linked from the FAQ).

You might try a different SMBIOS...

Ok... Tomorrow I'll follow the guide step by step, reset the bios and set it again... Press F2 and F4 and photo... I must use an hub because have only 1 usb port

You only need a single port to boot the installer (for the USB stick with the installer). No need for a hub.

This is a tablet, so no keyboard

I redownloaded the installer, rebuilt the usb stick following step by step the guide, pressed F2 and F4 and then tried to boot... I made the screen when the booting process stucks (the same as the other photo)... Hope now it can help...

Read post #22 for other suggestions you may not have tried yet.

Also, if USB is problematic, maybe you should install from a SATA device instead... (just put the installer on the built-in SSD by removing it and connecting it to another computer).

Post 22 of the laptop thread?
However I just installed El capitan, i'll try to put the installer in one partition of the ssd and try hoping I'll have success

If you have 10.11.x installed, you can use it to configure USB correctly.
See guides linked from the FAQ.

What do you mean? The usb should be correctly configured because I can use it to boot El capitan... What I should modify? (I used spoofed config.plist for El capitan, while I use not spoofed for high Sierra)
