Hello everyone.

I recently bought an Asus VivoBook S15 S530Fn and I want to install 10.14.4 in it.

Setup:
- Intel Core i7-8565u
- Graphics: Intel UHD 620 + NVIDIA GeForce MX150
- 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM
- Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD
- Wi-Fi & BT Combo Card: Intel 8265NGV [will switch with a BCM4352 from my first hackintosh that uses Ethernet]
- BIOS Version 300

I created an Mojave USB installer using UniBeast and followed two guides on GitHub: Guide #1 [nguyentrucxinh] + Guide #2 [tctien342].

The Guide #1 helped me getting into the Mojave Installer (took around 5 min only to boot up :thumbdown) but the installer keeps freezing when hitting "2 minutes remaining" and it gets stuck in this step:

Can't move mouse and I don't actually know if the whole system is still installing or not. When I boot Clover it detects a new APFS Drive installed on the SSD. Can't boot it as well (I assume the installation failed).

The Guide #2 didn't work at all. Can't boot installer and partition created using the Guide #1.
Both of them are optimised for disabling a NVIDIA GTX940M and not a MX150 (probably one of the issues).

Also, can I install and boot 10.14 using a NVMe Drive? I ordered a Samsung 970 Evo 250GB NVMe Drive so I can test this out.

Please tell me what can I do next because I'm out of ideas here.
Any kind of help is appreciated

Read up on the FAQ first:

I can’t find anything useful in those guides regarding to solving my issue(s). I already have the Clover Installer working but I’m having issues with the installation itself (I think I made that clear on my first post).

I need something more helpful
The EFI I’m using is from Guide #1 works fine (Graphics, Battery, Keyboard) [Link to EFI BQ414T].

the guide doesn't use unibeast

also you haven't uploaded your problem reporting files
 
the guide doesn't use unibeast
Copied from Guide #1 [tctien342]: "1. Prepair an Mac installer in USB with Clover added ( Use unibeast to create it )"

also you haven't uploaded your problem reporting files
I can't attach the full installer log due to the reported freezing on Post #1. To replace all that I uploaded two photos of the installer log taken with my iPhone (described as "bare minimum" in [FAQ] READ FIRST! Laptop Frequent Questions).
Theres' no crash or no error. The installer simply freezes.

plug your usb installer in the mac you used to create the installer, then zip and upload the clover folder (found in the EFI partition)

Edit: I'll attach the EFI for you
you only need your essential kexts in clover/kexts/other for the installer

drivers64UEFI folder has too many files in there

no need for files in acpi/patched for the installer

best to re read the guide linked above and follow it as is, when you have a system that boots, then you can use your patched files and config,plist

What do I need for this specific setup?

I have these drivers + kexts inside the USB's EFI Folder:

Do I need anything else? Do I need FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics or by just using WhateverGreen and boot flag "lilucpu=8" I will have graphics for the installer?

Also, is there any problem installing it directly to a NVMe Drive? Any sort of patch that I need to do? My only concern is that the Disk Utility won't detect the NVMe Drive (Samsung 970 EVO SSD M.2 NVMe 250GB).

Thanks for sorting everything out :thumbup:

FakePCIID.kext and lilufriend can be removed
missing SATA-unsupported.kext from clover/kexts/other:

missing HFSplus.efi in Drivers64UEFI
