Hi @serg1892 and thanks for your message, it's highly appreciated.
Don't worry, as long as I'm using this setup I'll keep posting updates - maybe I'll switch to OC eventually but Clover does its job just fine for the time being.
I'll keep my answers short knowing that you won't take it personally as a lot of your questions have already been a subject of discussion in this thread.
Let's go, shall we?
1. My EFI contains a DSDT which was patched on F13 for the specific dGPU/IGPU unit and therefore is tied to all sorts of dependencies.
Therefore using a different BIOS version is not a good idea.
2. Not a good idea either, dependencies again.
See, you're using my Hack Pro dGPU EFI and an USB mapping which was created for and on a different (IGPU) unit.
Simply doesn't work.
Just take a look at Ernie & Bert's back and forth on page 94.
Consider mapping your USB ports as a mandatory routine when you do a fresh install and/or update to a major system release version (say 15.x -> 16.x).
It takes about 15mins and isn't hard at all, just follow the posted link(s).
3.Open Clover Configurator, load a copy of your config.plist and generate your own CustomUUID.
Copy the generated value, close Clover Configurator WITHOUT saving your config.plist (you opened a copy of your config, didn’t you?).
Edit your config.plist with a decent Plist Editor and paste in the value you generated previously using Clover Configurator.
Scratch that, just using SMUUID should be fine.
4. Cloning your drive using CCC doesn't clone your EFI partition properly which is why you need your thumb drive to boot.
Using kobaltcore's EFIClone script solves this issue, follow the readme carefully.
Installing Clover on your internal drive and copying my EFI folder to your EFI partition afterwards might solve your problem as well, try.
Did you create your own custom boot entries as advised in the installation notes?
These values are tied to my own drives so you might run into all sorts of issues over time
I'm assuming that your internal drive is first on the list of boot drives in BIOS, right?
Would love to work in Shanghai so if you hear something about open vacancies in the field of Product/UX Design I'd be more than happy to have an after work drink from time to time.
