Can I know what NVME drive you were using?

I was using the Samsung EVO plus, which turns out it's not supported, so I replaced it with Samsung EVO pro.

Hi,

I'm trying to install mojave in lenovo ideapad 320 but installation stops at 2 minutes from end with the message:

An Error Occurred Validating the installer data. The download is either damaged or incomplete. Redownload the installer and try again

I've tried many variants of clover efi, but I arrive everytime at the same point.
What can I do?

n.b. in that laptop wifi and ethernet is not functioning, so the installation is without internet. In installation log there is that sentence:

failed to download package from linkfile:///Volumes/Image Volume/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg and no alternate source.

What is meaning?

Thank you all for any help

p.s. I've tried all the hints of this thread...

I've face the same problem, and after I left a single RAM during installation,
everything just worked fine.

Maybe you can use memtest to test your RAM afterward.

All good - I had to do all of the above to get past my issue!

Used APFS instead of HFS+J
Added EmuVariableUefi-64.efi in /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI
Replaced AptioMemoryFix.efi with OsxAptioFixDrv3-64.efi in /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI
And then I had to keep manually rebooting every time the install froze - and picking the drive I was install Mojave on - within the Clover boot options.

Did you need to take out your GTX 1050 graphics card? Or did just adding the two .efi drivers fix the issue?
