For Bios settings follow this perfect guide by Hervè (set like this all option that you can find)

 

For create bootable usb/Installation/Post Installation follow this perfect guide by Hervè (just download latest Catalina 10.15.4 from Apple Store)

 

Is better to use the latest clover release,  for download it click here

 

 

 

 

You can also follow these steps, starting from the installation of the clover in the usb stick (after the media creation tool process in terminal is done) :

 

1. Run Clover r51xx.pkg and select USB (Install Mac Os Catalina) as destination
2. Just flag in true on Clover for UEFI booting only, Install Clover in the ESP, UEFI Drivers - Racommended drivers - Install
3. Open terminal and paste:
4. diskutil list
5. Choose your usb EFI partition and type (for example disk1s2):
6. sudo diskutil mount disk1s2
7. Open Finder and open mounted EFI
8. Replace the EFI folder with this:
   •  EFI 10.15.4 e7440 V2.zip
9. Boot from USB and install Mac OS

 

 

For post-installation repeat the same steps with these differences:

 

 

1. Run Clover r51xx.pkg and select your SSD/HHD as destination
2. Just flag in true on Clover for UEFI booting only, Install Clover in the ESP, UEFI Drivers - Recommended drivers - Install
3. Remove all usb sticks and others disk (leave only the target Mac Os disk) and just type :
4. sudo diskutil mount EFI
5. Open Finder and open mounted EFI
6. Replace the EFI folder with the USB EFI
7. Change your serial number in clover configurator SMBIOS section
8. Enjoy your hack!
