just been on short holiday trip and now I see you've done it! would you plz share your EFI folder with me?? pleeeeeease :-D

@weissi29 Sharing my EFI isn't really going to help. You need to do a few things and alter your EFI. 1st download @evman 's EFI in post #9. You can copy his kernal kext patches as seen on clover config kernal and kext patch section, you may or may not need to check Kernalxcpm or KernalPM box on that page. I didn't have to. That will get you past the aptio freeze in the beginning of your clover boot. Then you gotta figure out how to get the specific to you machine SSDT-EC.aml file. This is the reason my EFI won't help. I still don't know how you get your specific one. @Gigamaxx told me to F4 on Clover boot to get the DSDT files in origin file in EFI, I asked about how you extract the SSDT-EC.aml file, but got no response just a SSDT-EC.aml to download post #16. Put that file in your ACPI patched file. That will get you to the extended boot. But my boot would keep bombing, time after time. I had read over the course of days that numerous people were having problems installing Catalina with their Radeon cards plugged into displayport. So, I unplugged my DP and plugged into hdmi. Sure enough after a super-long boot process It eventually winded it's way to Catalina install. And it was a long drawn out process to install, then there was a supplement download after that took forever too, but it came up! I have no bluetooth yet and am working on day 2 of that, no luck. So try to go from there. Read this thread it's short and follow it and what I tried to synopsis and you'll get it. Really just 3 things. Plug in HDMI instead of DPort, copy the kernal xcpm patches from @evman's efi and put the SSDT-ec.aml file from @Gigamaxx's post a few posts back,in your patched ACPI folder and then it takes for-ever, but it works. Good Luck and do me a favor and write back if you succeed and if you get bluetooth.

Go to @evman 's post #9 back on page #1 of this thread and download his efi. Then using Clover Configurator open his and your config.plists. Navigate to evman's "Kernal and Kext Patches" section then select the "KernelToPatch" tab on the right. You'll see numerous xcpm comments with the designation next to them "10.15" in the MatchOS column. Right click each and copy, then looking at the bottom of your KernalToPatch window and hit the + to add a line then paste to that new line, into your config.plist opened to the same section and tab. Save by closing your Clover Configurator and accepting the changes and that should do it. In @evman's same post with his EFI @evman put a link to the webpage that has all those patches and you can review them there. Good Luck!
