Wow. You don't even see the OpenCore boot picker?

Sorry this took a while, but
-EFI on post #12,950 did get OC boot picker (i made a mistake) but it does again sends me into a bootloop -first screenshot before bootloop
-EFI on post #12,953 gets me a kernel error
I unplug all my drives/non-essential usbs while testing to make sure nothing can mess with it

Does your system have a macOS compatible Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card? If no, please leave Ethernet cable plugged in.

I have the BCM94360CS2 wifi/Bluetooth card and adapter that's recommended on page 1

Kernel error again with new EFI. It feels like I'm sending the same screenshot but I promise I'm not. lol

I did a test and made a Ventura USB installer and fresh SSD.

And for some reason I can't even install Ventura. The Apple progress bar loads to almost halfway. Then reboots.. I even took out 2 memory sticks. This is so weird.

Edit: The OpenCore 0.9 EFI from page1 will load Big Sur 11.7.5 just fine.. but not a Ventura installer or even a drive that has Ventura mostly installed, I say mostly because I can't get past the boot loops to even open Ventura.

If it's Ventura prior to 13.3, it should work with the EFI from post #1.

Hm, I used the package from the appstore. I will try with a 13.1 installer

 

[edmarcelino]

13.3 is definitely the issue.

Was able to get to the actual install screen this time with the 13.1 installer and a new SSD.

Edit: Installed 13.1 on a clone drive of Big Sur and was able to actually log in.
Thank you for helping me troubleshoot, chef!

Also my macOS didn't boot after the upgrade to 13.3

My solution was a downgrade to 11.7.5 – now also my BlueTooth dongle is working better.

Same happening here, unfortunately. Latest EFI with 0.9.0 OC, 13.2 works just fine, 13.3 just keeps rebooting. Made an install USB with 13.3 and that one simply dies starting up (no reboot). I'll try to get some logs later.
