Hey everyone, I'm at a loss. I cannot seem to start the installer for MacOS Catalina. I have tried Open Core and Clover. I have tried using the guide from the boot with Open Core using the recovery method and downloading the full version. I have also tried using the Clover guide. I will attach the EFI's from Open Core and Clover. Open Core gets stuck trying to boot the installer and Clover has a KP. Here are my specs:

HP Elitebook 840 G6:

Intel Core i5-8365u
Intel UHD 620 (Whiskey Lake Mobile)
32GB DDR4 2400Mhz RAM
Samsung 970 EVO 500GB (Has latest firmware as of checking.)
Intel Wifi 6 AX210 Card
Intel i219 Gigabit Ethernet
Intel/Realtek High Definition Audio

If there are any tips or anything else I can try, please let me know. Any help would be appreciated. It has been a while since I was in the Hackintosh game and I'm sure there is something I am missing. The goal is to install Ventura, but need to install Catalina to map USB correctly. Thanks in advance!

your opencore config.plist appears to be a config.plist for clover which won't work

maybe try fresh files from:
 
Thank you Feartech! I appreciate you looking into it and providing feedback. I went through revisions and I should have caught that. I have recreated a new recovery usb using that same guide and uploaded the latest files. It just gets stuck and does not progress after some time. In the mean time, I did get the Intel AX210 WiFi card and installed it. I will add the screen grab as well. Please let me know if there is anything I can add or change. Thanks in advance!

remove:
IO80211Family.kext

also disable AirportItlwm.kext as that seems to be causing you some issues on your screen grab

I added that kext to get the intel WiFi working. I was following the guide for the airportitlwm.kext. I removed it and reattempted and uploaded the updated EFI files. Please let me know if there is anything I can do! Thanks again!
