Changed secure boot, shut down all bios options and it comes back "cannot read file" what's weird is this flash drive with Unibeast, multibeast & Yosemite works on others boxes but not this one, Am i missing a step or should i be using another method ?

Secure boot must be disabled. Legacy boot must be enabled.

No idea on error message generalities. Post photo with actual text ...
 
got to the apple flash screen, white screen it went black and rebooted into windows. used arguments -x -f and still rebooted.

legacy (yes) secure (no) .....

making some ground movement:)

Did you patch the kernel?
 
Patched the kernel, it got pass the reboot and then........ Got the install screen with the apple logo with no movement stopped cold

Boot verbose to troubleshoot.

Also,

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.
 
I posted the specs and I uploaded the screen from the debug.
