Good day,

I have researched and researched but I still have not found out any way to fix this issue. I have tried different computers, different macOS versions, different USB's and different software but every time, my install hangs on End Randomseed. I do not know how to fix this. I am using a EVGA motherboard and that might be the problem. I currently do not have access to my computer, but I am just using the Unibeast default EFI with no extra drivers/kexts. Help would be appreciated. Thank you

If you want my EFI, just say.

It would sure help me to know what's in your EFI. I'm booting High Sierra fine with the updated EFI/Kexts, but Mojave hangs as above, both from a Unibeast USB stick (with -v) and from the updater. I'm booting from an NVME during updater.

I managed to get past the row of plusses by rebuilding a bootable USB stick for Mojave from scratch. Maybe that did the trick?

Also, I know it's redundant, but check your BIOS. I found that I had one setting wrong, even though I've been running High Sierra for more than a year without a glitch.

Would you mind sending your EFI from High Sierra? I created a brand new fresh installer of High Sierra and I STILL have exactly the same problem. It might be a BIOS problem.
 
use just the below in that folder, if everything works, you don't need the others
drivers64UEFI folder
ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi
AptioMemoryFix-64.efi
 
I have already injected those drivers into my Drivers64UEFI folder. Still no luck.

@ethan3474 were you able to resolve the issue? I have EVGA x299 micro, tried everything I know, but I cannot get past +++++ during boot.
