Post Installation

10. At this point, you are ready for "Post Installation", you first step should be to install the Clover bootloader to your HDD. Installing Clover to your HDD is very similar to installing to the USB installer. See post #1 for details.

Found it! I will continue here. No more Unibest/Multibest for laptops.

Same problem in New Mojave. SAMSUNG MZVLW512HMJP-000L7 (512 GB, PCI-E 3.0 x4) with NVM . Tried without success:
- SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext
- NvmExpressDxe-64.efi
- One of the special LiteOn/Plextor/Hynix patches. https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme

PD: I'm testing with

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete (you forgot to press F2 to create misc/preboot.log)
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
 
Updated clover.zip with F2.

Thanks

Definitely your device requires one of the special LiteOn/etc patches.
Try each one independently.
Or use the generic one which disables the check entirely.
"IONVMeFamily: Ignore FLBAS bit:4 being set - for Plextor/LiteOn/Hynix (credit Pene)"

Your current patch (that you claim to have tried) for sure won't be applied for Mojave as you have it marked for 10.13 only (MatchOS).

I have tried Pike R. Alpha files, without success. Version is important? All of them has <string>10.13.x</string>

<key>Replace</key>

Testing now with Pene one.
 
All 10.13.x config.plist Pike tested without success (updating version to 10.14.x), also Pene config.plist. Always frozen on this attached screen.
NvmExpressDxe-64.efi I'm not using it. Do I need it?

PD: config.plist files edited with Edit plist Pro.

This one worked for me!
Edited with 'PlistEdit Pro' from https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme/blob/master/config_patches.plist copied and pasted into config.plist!

NOW is with first start ... I will give you more news.
Do you want config.plist from my t470p for all users?

This one worked for me on High Sierra on same laptop. Does it help?
But with and without update version <string>10.14.x</string>, it does not work.
