the folder structure has changed in later versions of clover

efi files now belong in:
CLOVER/drivers/UEFI/

make sure ApfsDriverLoader.efi is in there as with hfsplus.efi

you could try this version of clover

Clover UEFI Boot Mode v2.5k r5102

Clover bootloader for UEFI booting. Installs Clover to the EFI Partition of the selected destination drive. Adds the drivers AptioMemoryFix.efi and ApfsDriverLoader.efi to /EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI/. Includes CustoMac default config.plist for...

doesn't have opencore elements which will save you hassle

thanks. please pin this to post #1 or #2. can help many others doing a fresh clean install

just reading this. try next time with another clean fresh install. mojave

else go direct to monterey, or big sur, catalina. the security updates and no updates is making apple osx more like the ms windows spy-os

no need, it has been common knowledge for a few years, besides which, many users have jumped ship to opencore

It is also mentioned in the link I gave you

Thanks. its all new again and looks very highly advance stuff -OpenCore- to learn vs rehabman's o.p guide.

I test installed mac os x 12.3.1 Monterey installed and worked with someone else pre made OpenCore EFI config for probook elitebook zbook g(x) series from other people with success.
but it looks like Monterey wont boot if smbios is macbookpro11,1, to 11,4, must be 11,5 or higher, 12,1

Homebrew killed support for 10.13.x ... looking at 10.14.6 for next solid stable production osx


I'm going through the main guides Dortania, including the link you gave.

[Guide] Booting The USB Installer Using OpenCore

A guide in setting up your USB installer using OpenCore. You must have either a built-in ethernet or compatible Broadcom Wifi in your laptop for this guide to work. Built-in Intel Wifi can also work if set correctly...

OpenCore Install Guide

Current supported version 0.9.1

I also found a similar guide for the visual learners:

OpenCore Visual Beginners Guide 2022
This is intended to be a beginner friendly OpenCore guide which uses mostly GUI Tools like OCAuxiliaryTools and OCLP to create a vanilla hackintosh install. This should make starting out with OpenCore more accessible. Everything done by these tools is transparent to the user and allows complete customization. All downloads are from official sources, usually from the Github repos of the original developers. This guide is based on the by Dortania only making minimal changes when using compatible GUI tools. You do need to read, study and understand the basics of the first before embarking on any hackintosh project.

I wonder if OpenCore Legacy Patcher is as close to the patches used rehabman guide can be used to patch Probook Elitebook Zbooks g(x) series x:1,2,3,..n
