[solved] macOS could not be installed on your computer

[Lewdicrous]

Hey,
First off, yes, I've searched for a solution both through google and through the forum, but most of them linked to different threads so I kinda got confused.
I can get through the initial install (formatting the drive then installing macOS), after it reboots I choose the new drive (HFS), I am faced with one of two problems; either the apple logo changes to prohibited symbol or the loading goes through but then I'm faced with the message in the title:
"macOS could not be installed on your computer. An error occurred while loading the installer resources."

The laptop I'm hackintoshing: (The one on my signature)

I've been following these threads:

Thanks in advance

Edit: I tried changing the config.plist file (cause the first one said I have an iMac while I'm using a laptop), but now whenever I try to start the installation process, it shows me the apple logo then reboots back to the clover menu.
I've linked the new config.plist file

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Use AptioMemoryFix, not OsxAptioFix2Drv.
Also, wrong kexts... need WhateverGreen.kext+Lilu.kext. VoodooPS2Controller.kext for keyboard/trackpad.
Also wrong config.plist

See guide:

I remade the boot drive, that's why the config.plist is wrong (Not sure of the on on the first post is more fitting)
I didn't edit any of the kexts, maybe that's why
I'll do it again.

Thanks

Post #1 config.plist is completely wrong/useless.
The guide has links to good starter plists.

Added AptioMemoryFix and HFSPlus.efi (as the guide says)
Got the kext files, gonna move them to the folder in a bit

Sorry for being a pain lol
Thanks for the help!

Edit: Here's the new CLOVER file
Change log:
- Replaced OsxAptioFix2Drv with AptioMemoryFix
- Added the kexts you mentioned (Lilu, WhateverGreen and VoodooPS2Controller)
- Replaced the old config.plist with one for the HD 5500 (from the link in the guide)

The guide recommends ApfsDriverLoader.efi+AppleImageLoader.efi, not apfs.efi.

In Clover/kexts/Other, use only the Ethernet kext that matches your hardware. No need to put kexts that don't apply to your hardware.

You have no config.plist. Clover will not read config_HD550_P530.plist.

I'll remake the USB using this guide instead

I'll let you know if I get into problems.
Thanks

Hey,
I changed the USB boot drive and edited the CLOVER file (added the kexts and .efi files), I also used the correct config.plist (I hope)
Used config_HD5300_5500_6000.plist instead of config_HD550_P530.plist (renamed it to config.plist)
It still reboots after the apple logo, but this time it happens after the loading bar is complete (the loading bar didn't appear before)

Here's a vid if needed [in verbose mode] (It's 3 mins)
