[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

[Hidden.be]

So I tried installing mojave on my xps 13 9360 (i5-7200U,HD Graphics 620) and after the first automatic reboot it started copying files (15 minutes remaning or something similar), then I got the crash (reported by the txt file). I used the same EFI/CLOVER for sierra and everything worked. Any idea on what is wrong?

(EDIT: removed themes folder from efi/clover zip)

There is a guide on your laptop in this forum.

yes but unfortunately the guide is outdated and rehabman advised me to start from scratch, so I started from here trying to install mojave instead of sierra since someone wrote that he got a booting mojave with no issue.
I tried both mojave and high sierra but I'm having the same issue, while sierra was booting with no issue

However, can i install macOS besides Windows 10 and its Boot-Manager with a second Bootpartition and a mac partition? (min. 4 partions + Samsungs)
So i can shrink the Windows 10 partition for installation or size it back if things go south?

Your question regarding dual boot is answered in post #2. Please read it.

RehabMan, question for you.

From the post#1 I read this:

"You might be wondering if this will result in duplicate kexts being loaded due to the kexts in EFI/Clover/kexts being injected when they are also installed to the system volume. The answer is no, not generally. With config.plist/SystemParameters/InjectKexts="Detect", kexts in EFI/Clover/kexts are not injected when FakeSMC.kext is in kernel cache. Because FakeSMC.kext is always a "kext you need", you will always install it to the system volume, which will put it in kernel cache. Kernel cache, of course, will not have FakeSMC.kext when booting the installer or recovery, so in these cases the kexts in EFI/Clover/kexts *will* be injected as you would expect."

I am little confused. My understanding is FakeSMC.kext it is better it is in system volume, ok. If "detect" is valid I understand ALL the kext won't be injected at the boot, so...the question is: if the system needs some kext at the very beginning for proper booting, the boot might fail because essential kext in /Clover/kext won't be loaded. If this is true, are you saying "detect" has not to be setup ? Which option then in InjectKext ?

Thanks

InjectKexts="Detect" is the correct setting.
It allows kexts to be injected only when actually needed (installer, recovery, and before post-install kext installation is completed).

Hi. I've beed trying to launch Mojave installer via USB and got stuck at loading some kexts (if I understand correctly). Could anyone please point me to the proper direction? I have no idea what could/should I investigate to fix it.
Thanks in advance

You're missing WhateverGreen.kext in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other.
Please read post #1 carefully.

Off-topic. Open a separate thread. Attach full problem reporting files as requested in the FAQ.

From where did you download macOS?
On what hardware did you create your USB installer?

My bad, I read it but... just forgot to recheck it (because I had some initial setup already).
Thanks a lot

I'm thinking of buying a laptop with Intel UHD 620 graphics, can you advise which (if any) of the existing config.plist files I should use? Thank you!
