in clover activate inject usb and usb ownership, it worked for me.
This is a common problem on Z390. It's a sign that whichever Aptio fix you are using doesn't work well with your motherboard.
Some general tips for Z390 users:
- Try different Aptio fixes until you find one that works with your motherboard.
- Try without any of the FileVault and as few Clover drivers as possible until you are able to boot. You can add them later on once you've found a combination of Aptio fix + EmuVariableUefi that works for you.
- Try to avoid OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000. The original developer of this Aptio fix has warned that it may cause permanent damage to your motherboard.
- The only way I am aware to find which Aptio fix works well with your motherboard is through a lot of trial-and-error.
- Different hardware configurations can affect the Aptio fixes. Therefore, when first trying to get macOS installed, try to do so with as few extraneous PCI-e cards as possible. You can add them after you have macOS up and running.
- The "slide=0" may or may not help. Try with and without.
- Sometimes, even with a working Aptio fix, you may still get stuck during the boot process at "+++++++++++". When this happens press the reset button and try again. Sometimes, it requires multiple resets.

Apparently, the iGPU can mess with the initial allocation?

Have you tried CMOS Reset by shorting 2 pins on the motherboard as described in the Gigabyte user's manual? This will also reset BIOS parameters to their factory-default values, so it will necessary to set them again.My motherboard is damaged because of this and it wont boot to menu it will not boot to menu no matter which ports i use - it will go into a looping black screen of death.
Luckily my motherboard is under warranty and will get replaced.
