Thank you for your great guide for the hackintosh! Highly appreciated & recommended!
Please did you succesfully updated bios to 1802 or 1602 version?

Yes. As far as I know, I've updated to every BIOS version within a few days of release by Asus.

For 9th gen CPU users, I consider 1802 almost mandatory.

So I tried the USB2 port, any Now i can boot into the Installer,

I got next problem, The installer doesnt give the option to "Install" but rather "Reinstall"

so I click the reinstall, then the installer popup, saying,

"Recovery server could not be contacted - No ethernet connection"

So I plugin the lan cable, now the installer started, however, the installer says
"about 1 hour and 41 minutes remaining" and it just stay there.

Do I wait longer? Its been 20mins so far

There was a bug in a version of UniBeast that caused this problem, be sure to use the latest.

Another possible cause is that you only have the partial rather than full installer.
What size is the installer app. ?

 

[pattanan]

install macOS Mojave
6.03GB

I can see the installer downloading the new installation file though, but its super slow, although my internet connection is 1Gbps

Looks like you'll just have to wait it out then.

Should I use apple own command to creat the installer USB drive?

then use the clover to make it bootable

Hmm... I've never encountered this before... I don't know the solution...

If you want, you can try an alternate method of getting macOS on your hack.

1. Get a USB HD/SSD.
2. Connect the USB HD/SSD to your real Mac or working hackintosh.
3. Clone the drive from your Mac or working hackintosh to the USB HD/SSD or do a clean install to the USB HD/SSD.
4. When done, copy the EFI folder to the EFI partition of the USB HD/SSD.
5. Plug the USB HD/SSD to your hack and boot.
6. Clone the USB HD/SSD to your NVMe SSD.
7. Copy the EFI folder to the EFI partition of your NVMe SSD.

I've done this before on multiple occasions and it has worked flawlessly every time.
