Hi all,

I recently updated my GPU from a RX 580 to RX 5700xt. Now I'm trying to update from Mojave to Catalina because I know Catalina supports the 5700 better. I've used my own EFI folder along with multiple others from builds with similar hardware to mine, but still get hung at the same spot in verbose mode (see picture). What am I missing? Thank you for your help!

Thanks for quick the reply P1LGRIM. I added that, but still got the same results.

Check your UEFI sub-folder for missing .efi file.

Thank you. It got me a lot further, but when I run Catalina off my new boot drive it fails about half way through (see pictures).

What do you mean by "when I run Catalina off my new boot drive"?

Did the installation finish?

Sorry, I probably didn't use the correct terms (still an amateur in the hackintosh world!)

So, I loaded my Catalina USB boot-loader with the EFI file you gave me. It got me to installation page where I erased and formatted my hard drive to load Catalina. I then installed Catalina on my new formatted drive, it restarted. I selected the Catalina drive to finish the installation, but it stalls and I get the error message in the picture.

Hmm... Do you have your computer connected to internet via ethernet? If not, please try with active ethernet cable connected.

Yes, I'm connected via ethernet.
