Long time hackintosh user. I do have a Intel NUC 54250WYKH running High Sierra (can't find time to upgrade it).
First time time installing on Dell E7470.
Crash on first USB boot. Cannot get to Mac OS Installer.
Stuck on Apple logo, progress bar with a very small percentage and a functional cursor, all that after all verbose finished loading.
Tried High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina. Different USB drives. They all freeze at same moment with the same behavior.
I really avoid opening new topics if there is any other that I can follow, but could not find other one alike this problem.
Any help is appreciated.
Followed the guides at https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-vostro-xps-clover-guide and https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/9179-dell-latitude-e7x70-clover-uefi-only/ to the letter.
Things to note:
BIOS: 1.22.8
I did not do not set DVMT to 96MB (0x3) since all bootpacks come with Lilu and WhateverGreen .
BIOS settings: Set to Default and apply, SATA Operations = AHCI, Boot List Option to UEFI, Legacy ROM = Disabled, Secure Boot = Disabled, TPM = tried both Enabled/Disabled, Wake on LAN = Disabled, and Legacy ROM = Disabled.
Clover (release 5100) with following settings:
Install for UEFI booting only, Install Clover in the ESP, all other options to the letter .
First copied (with replace not merge) the generic bootpack EFI_v5100.zip at the first guide, and then copied over (with replace) the E7470 bootpack at the second guide, usind the appropriate pack to whatever Mac OS version I was trying to install (E7470_1.17.5_HS, E7470_Mojave and E7470_Catalina)
Just HSFPlus.efi, no VBoxHfs.efi // Just VirtualSMC.kext no SMCHelper and no FakeSMC .
Updated Lilu to 1.4.0 and WhaeverGreen to 1.3.5 .
Specs: Core i5-6600U, 8GB DDR4, Intel 520 graphics, 1440p touch screen ( ! ), 512GB LiteOn LGH-512V2G M.2 SSD (non NVMe), Broadcom DW1820A, Intel I219-LM ethernet.
Steps considered:
Used arguments -igfxvesa and -v
Tried Clover r5070.
Post my EFI folder and my F4 dump for the Mojave try.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
