Hi again,

This might be a silly question.
Can I easily do thes steps but with Catalina 10.15.2?

One thing to note is that Apple seems to have made S/L/E and L/E read-only, meaning that you can only inject kexts with Clover now. These scripts might not be entirely suited for Catalina. But you should definitely give it a try, I don't see why just using Clover to inject kexts wouldn't work.
You can also give OpenCore (new bootloader) a shot, I haven't had much luck with it on an older system but that is probably a configuration issue.
One of these days I might just not be lazy enough and finally update to Catalina.

EDIT: Updated Kexts, Clover r5070 and it updated without any issues.

I managed to get a mojava installer now and 5ried it with latest rehabman clover release.
I followed the guide carefully now.
Once I click on install osx from clover with option vibose enabled i got some errors during the installation on the black screen and after that I have a reset.
The errors are moving up quickly I'm not sure if I can find a log for this somewhere or not.
I think it's because of panic.
Do you know where to start debugging?

Attach your EFI folder

What version of Mojave are you trying to install? RehabMan Clover builds are out of date and won't allow you to boot a newer version of Mojave

Do you recommend a specific clover version?
I downloaded mojava from app store so I guess it’s the last version released of it

You haven't attached your EFI folder.

Try Clover r5070 from sourceforge

Sorry for not attaching it last time.
Here it is. If you found something wrong please tell me.

I'll Try Clover 5070 today and see if it'll be better.

Thanks a lot

Your kexts are wrong, are you following the guide?
WhateverGreen is missing, you should be using VirtualSMC instead of FakeSMC
USBInjectAll is not needed, all ports are correctly mapped via DSDT

Thank you very much for this guide! I managed to install the latest Catalina. Everything works fine! I installed the latest official Clover, because RehabMan's package said that it's not supported during install. I managed to set up dualboot with Windows 10. Thanks again for your work! Only thing that is not working, is the numpad but I'll try to find a solution for that.

I haven't yet figured out how to get Num Lock functionality to work, however you can use a custom map with VoodooPS2Keyboard to map out the num-pad keys like so:

This isn't a very good solution but it does work.
Note: I haven't mapped the top row as I frequently use the media controls, this can be solved by using a modifier but I am too lazy to work it out.
