  1. Mac mini
32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB SATA SSD
BIOS version 0071 - Attempts to downgrade the BIOS have failed (at one point, I almost thought I bricked it!)

I have the Mojave 10.14.5 OS installer, though I don't think it ever gets to the point of running that.

Intel NUC NUC8i7BEH Mini PC/HTPC With All New Parts Assembled

Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 9560, Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 4k Support, Card Reader, Dual Monitor Capable, Security Slot

In the NUC BIOS, I ..
enabled Legacy Boot
disabled WLAN & Bluetooth
disabled Intel VT for direct I/O (VT-d)
disabled Secure Boot (default)
disabled Digital Microphone
disabled SD Card Slot


I create the USB from a Mac Mini El Capitan 10.11.6

I have tried @RehabMan's guide + his Clover build or latest Clover build, also Mojave Unibeast/Multibeast

Trying to go with the Unibeast/Multibeast setup, at this time.

The Graphics Injector FakeID is set to 0x12345678

I boot Clover EFI off the USB and set verbose mode. It always hangs after...

MAC Framework successfully initialized
AMFILoadTrustedKeysFromNVRam: no nvram variable
using 16384 buffer headers and 18240 cluster IO buffer headers

Then nothing happens.

If I don't use verbose mode, the Apple install logo appears and the progress bar movers, ever more slowly, until after 20-30 minutes it hangs at 100% progress.

I am reaching out to the forums, in hopes someone has suggestions.

This conversation has moved me forward. I was able to get past the boot hang and boot the installer. Still more to do.
 
@TechNubi We have pretty much the same config you can take my EFI Folder in the post you linked and you should be ready to go ;)
