Hi guys, it's been a long time but I have decided to try and install Catalina on a laptop I have. It's a Dell Latitude e6440 with the following specs:
-4th gen I5 4310M (Haswell)
-Chipset QM87
-8Gb DDR3
-Discrete graphics Radeon HD 8690M
-On board graphics Intel HD 4600
-Lan card from intel

I first started with unibeast but that didn't work and I soon found that there is another way for laptops. I found Rehabman's laptop guide and made a first attempt in MBR mode but when Clover was loaded, I couldn't see the Install osx option. So I went back to the guide and reread the thing for the 5th or 6th time and made another attempt with a GPT partition this time.

Clover booted without any issues and I had the option to boot the mac os installer. The process did not complete and I am now stuck here:

I know I can remove the Intel kext and try it that way but the rest is essential right? I also uploaded my EFI and my config.plist just in case someone wants to have a look at it.
At this point I am kind of lost as I don't know any coding at all... Thank you in advance!

Rehabman's version of clover is very old and doesn't support later versions of macOS

maybe worth giving opencore a go:

Okay. I'll give it a try this week end! Thanks!
 
Okay... so I had a couple of minutes and I gave a shot at this guide ;)
Till I got to the Propertree software all was good, krystal clear!
I did what I tought was best in there and moved the installer on my laptop. Installer does not get to install utility.

Is it possible the problem lies in the fact that I used the setting of the device properties and modified them instead of creating a new one? I just don't know to create a new one.
make sure to use a USB2.0 stick, and try all usb ports on your laptop
