This is day 5 of not being able to understand what the hack is going on so I thought it was time to humbly plead for some help from the awesome hackintosh gods that graciously roam the forums with all their might.
So I don't even understand what the problem (besides from me being an idiot) is but I will try and explain it to my best.
I've finally come round to updating MacOS from High Sierra to Mojave (lazy idiot), but I made the dumb mistake of not checking if Clover had updated to a more recent revision (for some reason I thought updating the configurator would be enough). I managed to make a bootable Mojave USB, using Unibeast, and I am able to boot up the disk now. Here's what I don't get.
In Clover Configurator, it states that the current revision is the same as the USB drive, however when I try to boot directly from my systemdisk, it shows my previous revision (the one that gives me pink lines, a mouse on a black screen and a headache now lasting 5 sleepless days).
What I'm trying to understand is, did I successfully boot up from the USB, using only the kexts, plist and what not from the USB? My guess is no, because for example the plist on the usb drive contains no particulars regarding system information, serial etc.
If yes, can I 1) simply copy over the entire EFI map from the (EFI partition on the ) USB to the (EFI partition on the) systemdisk? Or 2) copy over the entire EFI map, then include the old Plist? I tried the first option on a CCC clone, didn't pan out (Kextd stall 01, X86PlatformPlugin, GFX0, CSR8510 A10, PXSX, IOJDACodecFunction, IO Resources)
What makes it even more cloudy for me is that in current revisions, the drivers map structure has changed, along with driver names. I"m hesitant to do anything to the EFI now.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm stuck (like, in the middle of a busy intersection not knowing where to go with everyone honking at me stuck). Any chance I could get some help?
Tl/dr: Successfully booted systemdisk (with old revision clover) via bootable USB (R5102) after bodging MacOS update from High Sierra to Mojave. Need help in understanding how to get rid of the USB drive and boot directly from systemdisk.
p.s., for extra giggles for the initiated, this whole episode of crying myself to sleep started with the simple task of importing every photo and video from my iPhone, which failed due to incompatible OS/hevc nonesense... so moral of the story, don't make any photo's or video's unless its on film (kiddin' course).
