Help please, if I do not solve this problem I abandon the idea of having a hackintosh, I am very upset and I do not think I would recommend this experience to anyone.
After months of working the system very well, one of those days, after entering Clover and entering the High Sierra partition, a black screen appeared with a horizontal prompt cursor, the same happened in the Recovery window.
At that time I went to see the UEFI configuration and it turned out that it also had a black screen, I tried the boot menu of my Asus motherboard and it also gave a black screen.
I reseted the bios ram memory, I also tried removing the battery and holding the power button (with the power supply off) for 25 seconds, but there was no solution
After researching I read that this could be the result of physical damage on the board or SSD, by chance I tried to extract the SSD and it was already working.
On Windows using explorer plus plus and Diskpart to mount the image I got to replace the uefi files with those of the backup.
Everything has gone well for more than 20 days but suddenly when turning off the PC normally and restarting, the problem returned.
This time I wanted to think that it was a rootkit (bootkit) that had hijacked the system. I used the tssdkiller and the GMER of Avast, getting rid of a virus called MBR Backboot-G Rtk.
After removing this rootkit, I tried to enter bios and the boot menu without any results.
Everything is as in the beginning, I even deleted all the contents of the EFI GPT to try, having to install another disk in the motherboard with Ubuntu and Windows, Ubuntu allowed access to my EFI backups of the Mac partition (which is visible from Ubuntu and Paragon Software).
And Windows to use Diskpart and Explorer Plus Plus again.
The general idea is that there is no physical problem, motherboard and SSD, these work normally, the same way the system works correctly but the partition of high Sierra or its boot, block the entry, in addition to restore it from a backup does not happen at all .
Note: I can not enter using the pendrive with Multibeast (trying to enter the HS partition using the efi boot of the external unit instead of the SSD). I use same uefi-bios settings from good first success time. I did not remove kexts or Clover config, we had to realize that I backed up a success installation efi on a folder, but this thing is not set longer to boot into.
Installer runs ok in the new SSD but it gets stuck in the efi corrupted SSD (blank screen with corner upper left prompt)
I would appreciate the help of Macintosh-loving fandom and people happy with this portability project to PC.
