i made a catalina install for my hp envy phoenix h9-1355 but when i boot to clover i choose the uefi option and it refuses to boot so i change to legacy once i do that it actually boots to clover but then it only shows my windows drive no mac os option tho and i was wondering why it does this and maybe can be fixed so i can install mac os
 
Usually cause by HFSPlus.efi or VBoxHfs.efi not being present in the /CLOVER/drivers/UEFI folder, i.e. driver required for the bootloader to be able to read HFS+ drives, such as your macOS Catalina USB installer.
 
Your previous post was deleted because you posted an image which contained your Serial Number.

The questions you asked:

I got it working now and everything works except sound bluetooth wifi and the integrated intel 4000 doesn't show up and doesn't have hardware acceleration is there any way I could fix that or probably not?

Yes there are methods and kexts to fix all of those issues:

Sound:
You need to inject Lilu.kext and AppleALC.kext and use a compatible layout-id for your IDT 92HD73E audio codec. Layout id's 15, 19 & 21 are known to work with the 92HD73xx codec. So I would give them a try.

Boot > Arguments: (viewed using the latest Clover Configurator application)

Close up of Arguments section:

Add the boot argument alcid=15, alcid=19 or alcid=21 to your config.plist, see if these ID's work.


WiFi/Bluetooth:
I have known idea which WiFi/Bluetooth card you are using, so can't recommend any kexts(s) at present. Confirm which WiFi/BT card you are using and we can go from there.


Intel Graphics:
Using the Intel HD4000 to dive a display is relatively simple.
  1. You need to be injecting Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext from your /CLOVER/kexts/Other folder.
  2. You also need to add the following entries to your Clover config.plist:

What you don't want to be doing is enabling or adding any other Graphics fixes, as this will mess with the settings being injected by WhateverGreen.kext.
 
by any chance if I sent the files that I needed changed to you because I'm struggling to get it to work
also here is the wifi and bluetooth that's what windows says

if not that's fine I was just wondering because every time I tried the stuff that you showed it just stayed the same anything I tried
 
Post a copy of your CLOVER folder so we can see what you are using and just as importantly what you are not using with your setup.

Remember to delete/redact your Serial Number, SmUUID, Board Serial Number, MLB and ROM from your config.plist before you post a copy here.
 
here is the copy of the clover folder thank you for all the help so far
this is wrong:
alcid=15, alcid=19 use one or the other

no need to inject Intel

whatevergreen.kext and applealc.kext missing
 
can we get those files and get it working?
yes, put them in clover/kexts/other folder with your other kexts

also remove 10.7 to 10.15 folders, you only need 1 folder in there called other where all your kexts should be
