So I did exactly the same steps I took the last time you advised me while it was at 10.14.4. So does 10.14.5 just “break” it?

I installed 10.14.5 from scratch. It works just fine. What Wifi card do you use?

Also to ensure things run more smooth I’ve used a 16GB micro SD that is plugged into an adapter that will read at 2.0 speeds. The flash drive I was using was new so it was 3.0. I hope this works as it did on my desktop.

ignore my last reply

@prabs99 which config plist are you using?

edit
when I copy your stuff to my EFI/Clover my installer doesn't show up. I'm making a new installer. I went out and purchased a USB 2.0 16GB flash drive. 3 for $20 so why not since USB 2.0 is recommended.

edit
also I noticed you don't have HFSP.efi in your drivers64UEFI folder

Here is the EFI folder from the installation thumb drive.

If this is the same as DW1820A, then I had a problem with it. I replaced it with DW1560, and the install went well.

Thanks. I’ll give this a go rn cuz I did the drive over and 14.5 still wouldn’t install.

I think the one I got is bad. Windows won’t even detect it.

Mine worked from Windows, only after I installed drivers from Dell.

I didn’t install the drivers, but about the installer... I used your clover folder and I can’t get in at all. I use -no_compat_check and I still get the circle cross.

Edit
Actually I did verbose and even though I have the cross it’s still going....

Have you removed the wifi card and then tried the installation?
