unibeast can't get clover screen from bios

[dadross]

Hi all,

Come to a dead end trying to get started with an installing of Mojave on a PC, made the bootable USB with Unibeast but it won't work, I use the suggested bios setting plus many,many other variations shown on the forum and selected the USB in the boot screen, but it just goes back to the bios screen. I eventually found on the forum that others have had this same issue, with no solution being available, one member said it was "unsolvable".

my system; Asus prime Z370-p, (on board graphics), corsair 16GB Ram, everthing else is standard build

Don't understand if you follow all the recommended build and install guides and yet get such a fundamental problem right from the start, does anyone know what's going on!!, very frustrating

I encounter the same issue while trying to make a bootable USB with Unibeast, Mojave 14.2 I have tried flashing the USB with either UEFI mode or Legacy mode. The boot option menu appears and I can select either UEFI or Generic USB boot mode but none of them work, it just gets back to the options select menu.

Going further with the investigation I just flashed Clover on a USB stick and I can seem to boot that but I encounter other issues.

@wkt, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card(s).
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard.

Profiles are mandatory so that others can assist you.

Sorry for that. My motherboard and processor are old but from what I saw others have got this motherboard running, with previous releases.

From my investigations I could figure out that Clover, separately boots only when the USB stick is formatted as FAT, with GUID partition table (might work with MBR also I guess) but is not recognized when formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

After I get to the Clover first screen and try to enter the shell I get a black screen with: BestLanguage <null string>
- tried to search for this error but found no answer.
Another thing that I tried is to boot from the Clover USB stick and attack also the Unibeast USB stick with Mojave installation: this way the icon to boot the Mojave installation appears in Clover but when I try to enter it again a black screen this time with the circle and a bar.

Also, on my Macbook Pro I am stuck with Mojave 14.2 so the only OSX I can download and create is 14.2
