Hey guys, it's been a long time since I last dabbled in this stuff. I had set up 30+ systems in the days of Sandy Bridge but the process felt so much easier back then.
I've searched tonymac forums as well as other websites for solutions but none of the fixes I come across seem to work. I cannot make it past the Apple logo loading screen to the installer.
Here's the rundown of my rig, process, images, clover.zip:
UniBeast (9.2.0-6) drive created using a 10.14.5 Mojave MacBookPro
(Options: UEFI Boot Mode, Mojave 10.14.5 Installer, NO graphics injection)
USB Drive: Sandisk 32GB USB 2.0 (have also tried various other USB drives of all types)
Mobo:
Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 7 (F13 Bios) **Purchased two different brands of USB 2.0 Expansions to attach to the internal mobo headers as the rear I/O doesn’t have any USB 2.0
[ • 121dB SNR AMP-UP Audio with ALC1220 & High-End ESS SABRE 9018 DAC with WIMA audio capacitors
CPU: i7-8700K
GPU: Radeon VII (founders) or PowerColor Radeon RX580 Red Devil
**tried with each GPU, tried with intel onboard graphics.
System Drive: Samsung 970 EVO 1GB (regular EVO, not PRO or Plus)
RAM: 4 X 16 GB G.SKill Sniper X DDR4-3200 (removed all except one left in the primary ram slot)
Wireless PCI: ASUS PCE-AC68 (removed for installation)
PSU: EVGA 750 G3
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro
No sata drives.
No accessories attached to computer.
Single 4K monitor attached via Display Port. (Tried from GPU and MOBO)
Bios Settings:
Intel iGPU:
I only used clover configurator to get rid of nv_disable=1 since I have no Nvidia card, add USB inject and FixOwnership, change system profile to 18,1
Booting in verbose mode, I have got the same result every time regardless of the USB port I used, whether I had a GPU installed or not, USB 3.0 or USB 2.0, all but one RAM stick removed. All accessories removed as well.
No matter what I do, I can’t get to the installer. The apple logo will show up and the progress bar will load over the course of about 20 minutes and then nothing changed for hours. I do not get to the language selection screen.
