you can replace FakeSMC + ACPIBatteryManager with VirtualSMC+SMCBatteryManager the glitch is gone, but you end up with a 2-3 second black screen before login

when you said "same thing", do you mean no graphics acceleration or not booting?

try this config config.plist.zip

Best to stick with M.2 Sata SSD

@roniez just compress & attach the Clover folder without the themes folder

KP like root device error? Have you tried different USB ports? Are the USB Intel or NEC or other brand?

Try adding this to /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other

Try this Config, I added the proper patches config.plist.zip

You probably didn't have the DVMT Pre-allocation patch. You need to add it to the properties section under Devices, can't use KexttoPatch for FB in Mojave on Skylake and above See here for more info https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335018-intel-fb-patcher-v164/

You need to remove the FakeID 0x12345678 from the Config file

YOu mean cloning the drive? Boot with the E6420 drive on your 5480. Launch disk utility Select the SSD of the 5480, click on Restore Select E6420 as the source Click restore Once done, install Clover to the SSD and then add the Clover folder / bootpack

Looks like you might have a bad installer. You can just clone your E6420 to the SSD and use the EFI for the 5480 Or rebuild your installer with a different USB

Follow my clover guide here https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-vostro-xps-clover-guide/ YOu can use my generic EFI folder from the guide. For bootpack, copy Config.plist/ ACPI/ and Kexts folder from the link (debug files) and place it in /EFI/Clover You should now have a bootable Installer for this system

Is the internal drive NVMe? What model is it? Might need additional patch if Yes

Someone posted something here . Post full system specs, we'll try to assist in any way we can.

DSDT/SSDT might not be right for your system, remove them and try booting again

Post debug file, Nvidia can be disable via DSDT patching https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/10209-how-to-generate-proper-problem-reporting-files/

Post 15 saids " It works. Thanks" I don't think that's what you meant. post a screenshot. at what process on the installation are you now?

Check this guide with similar specs https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308765-guide-dell-latitude-e6410-nvidia-el-capitan-clover-eng/

Make sure you have AHCI enabled in BIOS and have HFSPlus.efi in /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI

What type does it have? Synaptics, Elantouch or I2C

You should select "Install OSX from SSD" to continue the update until that new icon is gone. That's new since HS for installs and updates.
