Since we don't know the source of the DMG, we don't know what's been added or removed from it. Better to go with vanilla build.

The screenshot above is from a working Mac. Why not download the full app from Appstore and create new installer from there?

No, the date on your Computer BIOS

See here regarding date https://www.macworld.com/article/3097533/macs/installing-os-x-what-to-do-when-this-copy-of-the-install-os-x-application-cannot-be-verified.html

if you had selected F2 in Clover, the preboot file is saved to /EFI/Clover/Misc

Did you add APFS.efi to /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI?

Could it be that IONVMeFamily.kext is corrupted? Had you tried rebuilding the Installer?

At Clover, hit F1 for help. F2 should dump some preboot log

Did you format drive to GUID / Extended Journaled? Error shows drive not able to convert to APFS due to drive not set to Extended Journaled Did you also want to use APFS format or stick with HFS+?

Follow instructions from here to debug issue

The files look fine. Did you install AppleHDA_ALC292.kext to /L/E or /S/L/E? I won't work if you have it at /E/C/k/Other or 10.13. Try rebooting a couple of times. If you opt for reinstalling, use latest bootpack here

Did that solved your issue?

Attach Config.plist, DSDT.aml and AppleHDA_ALC292.kext here for review.

ok, try this. Replace contents into /EFI/Clover Make your backup copy first masteroftheWind2.zip

Try this, replace the Config file. Place DSDT & SSDT-PNLF into /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched Remove from /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other VoodooI2CELAN.kext VoodooI2CUPDDEngine.kext Remove and test all the issues. Master of the Wind.zip

Probably better to reinstall but use HFS+ for HDD. APFS is slow unless with SSD.

Add FakePCIID.kext & FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext Lilu.kext & IntelGraphicsFixup.kext

yes, but will only support up to El Capitan.

How much RAM does system have? I've seen that if you have 4 or less GB of RAM. You could probably fix it with a patch.

then it goes into /EFI/Clover/drivers64 You can mount it with Clover Configurator or EFI Mounter found in in end of guide here

Remove / disable the EDID inject in Config and try again

Using latest CC 4.61.0 or newer

for 10.13.4 apfs.efi

Hmm, then check for APFS.efi in /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI I remember HDD will not automatically convert to APFS unless you manually set it.

try booting with the USB installer and then selecting the newly installed HS drive
