"Still waiting for root device".
When installing this means that your USB flash drive cannot be found.
This is usually because the flash drive is in a USB3 port.
If this is the case move it to a USB2 port, if it is already in a USB2 port move it to another and try again.
Repeat until you have tried all USB ports.
Use a USB2 flash drive.
If it still doesn't work you could try another flash drive.
You might also try enabling Legacy on your USB3 ports in your BIOS settings.
If you only have USB3 ports try with your USB flash drive in a USB2 hub.
Make sure Fast Boot is not activated in your BIOS.

May require USBInjectAll.kext in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/.
May require XHCI-200-series-injector.kext in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/.
May need PMHeart’s patch for 10.13.4+ to remove XHCI USB Port Limit to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist.
May need PMHeart’s patch for 10.13.6 to remove XHCI USB Port Limit to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist.

Hey BreBo

I'm getting this prohibited sign. I tried all the USB ports, and have the two kexts that were asked (xhci unsupported and usbinjectall). would you recommend a pmheart patches next? trying to install Mojave. I'm not sure how to do the patching.

I attached my config file as well.

Thx.

Not a good idea to hijack a "Solved" thread - Start a new thread of your own.
Mojave is off-topic - This is a High Sierra support thread.
 
Here I was thinking I was being thoughtful/helpful by adding to an existing thread on the topic. Okay, I'll make another...
