Dell lattitude 7480 - Mojave install : need help

I must say it worked, 

 

I got into the booting, but I can't pick my volume to install on. The volume is there (in diskUtil) but greyed. I can't format it as diskutil crashes when I do so. the problem is that it's stated as Apple_HFS format which I don't remember formatting as. 

 

In all cases, I must say it's something obvious to verify your installation media before trying the install, but I guess I had so much fait in mine (it dates from May 2018 in fact)

Did you have apfs filesystem support in clover drivers64UEFI  (ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi , or something like that)? 

Apfs is default file system start from High Sierra for SDD disk. HFS+ converted automatic in apfs during upgrade

I used your config which had those drivers. My problem right now is that I can't boot my windows installation to reformat my second partition as NTFS. apparently I lost the boot option to windows, I don't know how but it happened. I may need to fix windows boot first, then format my SSD partition and go back to the installer.

thanks, will surely see it later. But have anybody had their DiskUtility crashing in the installer when trying to format a drive and rendering that drive unallocated. now I can't mount the drive because it is in a raw fs in order to format it, my system EFI partition keeps getting deleted each time I try and fail to format the drive (can't see why but they are on the same drive, so) and thus not being able to reach windows to allocate and format the partition again. 

Why would disk utility crash.

I must say everything didn't work out as I intended or wanted, but I got through the installer ( had to lose my Windows installation )
it was all some weird unexpected stuff that made this experience harder. Thanks to you I made it.

 

I want to ask if the wifi card on the 7480 is natively supported because from the installer it doesn't look like it is. @catmater

Internal card in 7480 - intel. No support for Intel wifi card exist. Only alfa glitch project.

ah, changing it would necessary then, :( 
but what about the touchpad, and backlight, does your most recent config fix those ? cause they are not working right now. ( I am yet to install those "to L/E kexts" to L/E)
