Mojave Install Problem after Multibeast Configuration (Solved)

[Feartech]

OK, I let this sit a couple of days and then did the following: First I erased my 16GB USB drive using my wife's MacBook Pro (running MacOS Mojave 10.14.3). On her laptop then I downloaded a new copy of Install macOS Mojave from the APP store and new copies of the Mojave Unibeast and Multibeast. Using the Mojave install guide I built a new Install Mojave USB drive on the recently erased USB drive. I also cleared CMOS on my motherboard and reloaded Optimized defaults and made the other required BIOS settings from the Mojave guide. I also erased the SSD that was to be the target disk for the fresh Mojave installation. I disconnected from the Hackintosh all USB devices (except for a USB keyboard and mouse) and all internal SATA drives except for the SSD I was trying to install Mojave onto. I then plugged the new Install MacOS Mojave USB drive that I just created into a back panel USB 2.0 connector. When I tried to startup from the USB drive I got to the Clover Boot screen and I selected the new USB Install Mojave USB drive. I then got the dreaded "prohibited" sign. I restarted and then ran the boot process in "Verbose" mode. Attached is a photo of the screen that I got. It appears I'm still getting the same error even after going through all the steps fresh. As requested, I've also attached a Zip file of the EFI folder on the new USB Install Mojave USB drive. I then shut down and replugged in my High Sierra SSD and my other internal HDs. I rebooted and am back in business with High Sierra. For the life of me I can't figure out how I'm still getting the same error after resetting CMOS, making a new USB install drive and erasing the SSD that was to be the destination for the fresh Mojave installation. As you'd guess, this is beyond frustrating. In my 10+ plus years of running a Hackintosh (I started back in 2008 with a Core 2 "Lifehacker" build) this is the most difficult upgrade that I'e attempted.

your config.plist is missing important smbios information

if you use unibeast to create the installer, it will give you a proper config.plist with appropriate smbios information

you can edit:

key>SMBIOS</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Trust</key>
        <false/>
    </dict>

with something like:

key>SMBIOS</key>
    <dict>
<key>ProductName</key>
        <string>iMac14,2</string>
        <key>Trust</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>

Ok, much thanks. I did use Unibeast to configure the new install USB so I'm not sure why that stuff isn't there. I have mounted the EFI partition from the USB drive. When I click on "config.plist" it brings up "Clover Configurator" but I'm lost on what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.

if you use clover configurator, you can open config.plist , and then under smbios choose imac14,2 and it will add in various smbios information for you

Ok, I just saw the "Text Mode" option in "Clover Configurator". I see the SMBIOS set of entries. Do I just edit it as you described, save it and then try to do another install?

I've clicked on the SMBIOS section. Where do I enter 14,2? Is it under "SmUUID" or "Version" or elsewhere?
