Unibeast 10.0 failure on Catalina 10.15.3

[Ploddles]

This is just for info as I have now created a new USB Installer.

Unibeast fails, running on a real MacBook Pro, after updating Catalina to 10.15.3 and trying to create a new USB installer. It copies the Catalina Installer App fine but then just hangs at the Clover section.

Tried it multiple times on different USB drives without success.

The only way I got it to run successfully was by running it on another machine with Catalina 10.15.2 installed.

The Unibeast log file is below.

I have experiences the same thing. I have tried multiple USBs and I can't get past the creation of the USB installer. USB #1 would get stuck on "Installing Clover Bootloader" and now USB #2 is stuck at "Copying Files".

Here is as far as Unibeast gets. It never really finishes.
Here is what the inside of the USB looks like. Is it all here. I tried booting with this USB and Clover started and I tried to install but it got stuck on the Apple screen. I tried again another time and now it doesn't even boot at all.

I'm trying a fresh install to a new hard drive. I have High Sierra running right now and am considering updating directly from there. I've updated my clover and need to update some Lilu and WhateverGreen I believe. I'm nervous that I'll forget something and have to debug a lot more.

Take a deep breath and take your time- this is pretty simple, but it's easy to miss things if you rush. Follow each step to the letter.

1. If you are using a Mac running macOS Catalina that has System Integrity Protection (SIP) enabled, you must disable it using the following steps:
2. 1. Restart your Mac.
   2. Before macOS starts up, hold down Command-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery.
   3. From the Utilities menu, select Terminal.
   4. At the prompt type exactly the following and then press Return:
      Code:
      csrutil disable
   5. Terminal should display a message that SIP was disabled.
   6. From the  menu, select Restart.
