@jpz4085 Thank you so much! I seem to have made progress. This time my installer USB actually booted and let me wipe a drive, and start to install the OS. However it is frozen with 12 min remaining.

Good, you'll get there eventually!

I'd recommend double checking the BIOS settings from Dortania and the other guide linked in a previous post just to be sure. Also disconnect any other drives except the Mac disk to simplify the setup.

i have 2 M.2 Drives and one of them is a clone that won't boot. Also have an 8tb tm backup drive inside and 2 500gb SSD's one is for windows. All but the second M.2 are disconnected.

I think what happened was I had virtual box on my computer and apple changed a kext controller or something. Making me have boot issues.

Im also thinking of going back to an earlier bios version mine is at 2301.


Ugh...It keeps getting to the Language selector or one step beyond and freezing.

This is where I am getting stuck


I have tried the things it has mentioned and I don't know what else I can do. Maybe my USB is crap and I need a new one. I have 2 here that I am trying and both get me to the same point.

better if you boot verbose and take a pic where it stops to upload here

I have been booting verbose and with debug turned on.

This last time I made it all the way to the language picker, pick english and then its stuck. its just a gray screen with a cursor.

This is what is shown in the debug text file.

And I just got this

along with your zipped OC folder...
 
here it is
shouldn't need this:
Code:
<key>framebuffer-patch-enable</key>
                <data>AQAAAA==</data>
                <key>framebuffer-stolenmem</key>
                <data>AAAwAQ==</data>

disable:
EnableWriteUnprotector


enable:
RebuildAppleMemoryMap
SyncRuntimePermissions

I made those changes and it booted to the picker then to a gray screen with a frozen pointer or a beach ball spinning.
