I attached log file generated in usb-EXT-HD formating in GUID partition map. Content in this log file is:

Use google translate please I don't understand what you said and this is not really the good log you need the log of the Package so restart from scratch and read again the entire guide What is the HP Laptop and complet hardware of the laptop ? thanks

[Macauty]

Sorry about my english. What I mean is that I have got an error in the step which is in minute 13:27 on your youtube video-guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M10TUtsnGA&feature=youtu.be) And that is the log which this step generates on usb-EXT-HD... any idea? I have got the USB pendrive in the correct format and I have done this step many times...

[chris1111]

What is the macOS version you have to create the USB ? It is a real Mac or Hackintosh, It is a Virtual Machine ?

[Macauty]

It is a Hackintosh Mojave 10.14.1

Hi again. Forget this, I have fixed it creating 'EFI' partition in my usb pendrive in other PC with TransMac. After, I have delete the files generates with TransMac in this 'EFI' partition and I have done your process succssesly, selecting like install location (minute 10:28 in your video-guide) the 'EFI' TransMac partiton generated before instead of 'Install macOS Catalina'. I have copy the installation package and your files like in your video-guide in 'EFI' partition and in 'Install macOS Catalina' partition... But when i go to install Catalina, I boot from EFI file and start to process a lot of code lines and stop and freezze in this line:

IOConsolerUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sem 0x0

After some minutes screen get turn off an if I press some key, keboard get turn on light but not screen... Absolutly freezze... I have to turn off the laptop with button...

This same with these code line, I have suffered with other guides, so now I think is it not about your guide... I thought that your guide was going to be different and I would get it, but.... some idea please?

What is the HP Laptop and complet hardware of the laptop ?

[Macauty]

It is a HP EliteBook folio 9470m i7, 12GB RAM, Intel HD 4000, WiFi Intel (I know this is not going to works)

Looks like you have a 1600x900 screen so boot Inject intel false to install macOS

[Macauty]

Ok, could you tell me how please??

[chris1111]

Clover / Option /Graphics Injector /Inject Intel uncheck the box by Enter then return to the menue booting to macOS

[Macauty]

Ok thank you so much for your support. I will try it tomorrow. My girlfriend are going to kill me!! I will let you know...

[Macauty]

Hi again. Well, I have some news. At first, I did the 'Inject Intel', but in 'Clover / Option /Graphics Injector /Inject Intel', the chec box was uncheck!! To do something, I dissabled it and surprise, it did work fine! I installed Catalina without more problems... Cool!!!!

But this is not a easy path... I tell from my own sweat... I did your steps in video-guide (minutes from 17:20 to 24:31). When I restarted I had a kernel panic error.... oooooohhhhhhhhh!!!!! Now, in new HP Clover I have two options (in both, I have kernel panic error, but with diferent line-codes before). I am going to try attach two pictures from this:

• Boot Recovery from Recovery (picture A)
• Boot macOS from SSD (picture B)

Please, could you help me?

[chris1111]

what is the bios version you have ?

[Macauty]

98IBD Ver. F.66

[chris1111]

You have only one Graphics Intel HD 4000, no Radeon or Geforce ?

[Macauty]

Yes, I think so. I have looking for something about in BIOS and I can find nothing... And when I had W10, in device manger I only had Intel HD 4000.

[chris1111]

This is strange ? try booting inject intel=false

[Macauty]

Yes, I tried... for test something... and it doesn't work... It is hard... but I dont want to abort this project... any idea please?

[chris1111]

retry new installation its suppose to work, its already made by someone in the past

[Macauty]

Ok... I will try tomorrow... I'll notice to you... thanks so much!!

[Macauty]

Hi, I have been today all day trying this and I have not be able to success it... but I have notice something about permission, you will see.

I can install Catalina from usb pendrive with 2 partitions. One of them for EFI partition, and the other one for Catalina OS. So I can install withou problems (today at least 6 times!!)

But when OS run, I have not LAN, no battery, no sleep, have not audio and have not WiFi (but WiFI I know that I will not have because is original from this laptop (9470m)... So I launch yor app with the same settings that in your video-guide less the laptop model that I choose 9x70 (in one of the test I selected the same like you to test and nothing, the same) and proccess end ok the first time. If I launch the software for a second or third time end with an error saying contact whith the owner software... Ok, I launch software with item choosed and end ok. I reboot and kernel panic, like yesterday...

But I have noticed that when software end ok, I go to Macintosh HD drive (formated in APFS GUID) and it has not EFI-Backup folder!! So I try create a new folder in this drive and I can not do it... EFI partition is created ok

If I go to see permissions Hacintosh HD drive, I see 'system' has read and write' but admin has only read permissions (attached picture). I try to change it but nothing happens... obiusly I click over padlock and write my password, but when I try to cahnge from 'read' to 'read an write' nothing, back to 'read'... is it normal? Or maybe my problems can be here?

Thanks so much! I wish you have a light and you can help me...

[Macauty]
