Mojave on a NUC8i5BEK - bootup stuck at apple logo (at the end of loading bar)

[tktk]

Hey, I tried using this guide

[Guide] Intel NUC7/NUC8 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7Bxx,NUC8i7Bxx,etc)

Overview The purpose of this guide is to provide a step-by-step guide to install Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, or El Capitan on the Kaby Lake Intel NUC7 series Intel NUC mini computers. My NUC7 is the NUC7i7BNH, although I expect the guide will work on other similar models. Preliminary support...

I have 250GB Samsung EVO SSD, and 16GB RAM.

I tried RehabMan's guide all night last night and I made the bootable USB, and Mojave booted on the computer but it got stuck right at the end of the loading bar with the apple logo. I left it all night and it was still stuck there.

My kexts were: fakeSMC, USBInjectAll, Lilu, WhateverGreen, IntelMausiEthernet

I added EmuVariableUefi-64.efi and HFSPlus.efi. I made sure Legacy boot was on.

Don't know what I'm doing wrong. What should I post so it will be easier for everyone to know the problem?

Hi sorry, I put in my hardware. I only know that I bought a NUC8i5BEK and put in 16 RAM and a Samsung 970 Evo SSD. Hopefully my hardware profile looks alright

I am having the same issue here, may be the new bios version cause this. But I failed to downgrade the bios.

I ran into same. Using the latest Clover to build the installation USB and adding the text detailed in the following to my config.plist fixed it for me. The comment says that they're using BIOS v66 though I downgraded mine to v56:

Good day everyone. I recently updated Lilu Kext to 1.3.5. on my Nuc7i5BNK. After that I wasn't able to boot to desktop, the Hackintosh was stuck at the Apple logo, which then had blurry lines in it and the logo window was pink/green. After downgrading back to 1.3.3 (via terminal and a usb stick)...

I believe (but haven't tested) that it now works with BIOS v71.

It's well worth reading the thread as well as the body text.

Your hardware is identical to mine and mine is running well albeit with a few quirks which may or may not just be down to Mojave being flaky.

I don't know what you are referring too when you say "The latter was advised in RM comments for dealing with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655, which is my case." Maybe that is a dated reference, anyone running an NUC8 regardless of processor has Iris Plus 655 graphics which is natively supported in...

I'm using v56 successfully. Others are using v66 but the important thing seems to be including the following in your config.plist:
