hp zbook 15 g5 workstation unable to install Mojave

[Feartech]

Hi,
Thanks for comment, I really want to learn and trying too.

Could you please explain "use USB-2.0 pen drive" ?
After reading your comment, I researched again and tried to install via Unibeast but I got error (Memory Panic) again.
I just have been really crazy about, Could you share with me your EFI folder?

Google for "USB 2.0 Flash Drive". As zbook has all usb3.0 ports any usb3 flash drive is connected through usb3 interface so it won't work as zbook usb3 ports are not recognized by the installer.

I found a 2.0 usb stick Sandisk. Despite this I couldn't installed again. As you refer, I installed the unibeast or manual method, I can't run Mojave. It give memory panic or smth stupid errors. I tried to use different configs, different EFI, clover configs, result is unsuccessfull.

I shared my laptop configuration below again, could you please lead me to right method of installation?
I found this page and I will try these configs.

Yes I tried with usb 2.0 stick (sandisk) but I couldn't install.
Also I wonder, if you have the same laptop with me (Zbook 15 g5 mobile workstation), is it possible to share your EFI conf? I think it's gonna be more convenient.

I think it's gonna be more convenient.

I would still suggest you try it yourself by reading the guides multiple times. This will help you understand how hackintosh works.

I will provide my CLOVER folder by the weekends . Please remind me if your efforts fail.

BTW, for me it was straight forward, use unibeast to create an usb2.0 flash drive, no need of any BIOS setting changes. If you have problem booting, try following boot arguments from clover:

dart=0 nv_disable=1 -lilubetaall -applealcbeta -vsmcbeta -v

or

dart=0 -cdfon -disablegfxfirmware -igfxnohdmi -lilubetaall -applealcbeta

You can also try unchecking intel graphics injection.

I did like you said. I've just created with unibeast, mojave, usb stick 2.0.
But I see memory panic error. I applied your boot arguments, but nothing changed
I just wonder, how did you installed as easy as you mention before. Nothing left that I tried many many ways.
I'm reading the guide but I can't overcome.
Are you sure that you have with the same modal device and same components with me?
Also if you can share your clover, I'm gonna be very glad. Thanks!

Mine is the Zbook G5 15 CTO (configure to order) without Windows (as I use Linux). Other than that, configuration is identical as yours as u mentioned earlier.

Also, as my laptop has no Windows 10, secure boot is disabled (factory setting) in bios. Also, discrete graphics was selected by default so I changed it to hybrid. I assume, if windows 10 is preinstalled, graphics settings would be hybrid by default.

BTW, I will be happy sharing my CLOVER but if unibeast method didn't work for you, I doubt it can be of any use. You should find the root cause first.

How can I create problem reporting files? Because I can not boot with clover anyway.
As I know, I need to open terminal and create log files (gen_debug). But osx is not installed.
Is there a way to collect logs?

No matter, I would like to try your clover. Thanks.
Also mine has windows 10 but I can wipe it, actually I suppose it's not related to this problem. Secure boot is disable too. I already applied the necessarry steps into bios. Additionaly I have a empty ssd disk on laptop. (sandisk 248 gb.) If I can pass to installation after booting, I will choose empty ssd disk to install..
