Hello,

For this to work, must the folder be placed inside the bootable flash drive? or post installation?

Should only the CLOVER folder or all folders be placed?

gasperTheGhost commented 4 years ago

Hi, sorry for the late response,

It's generally recommended that only the CLOVER folder on your EFI partition be replaced with the one on the repository. I could only really start the installer (in an acceptable timeframe) with this configuration. If the graphics aren't configured correctly it takes forever to boot, which is not okay for installations, as it reboots several times while installing macOS.

The configuration works both during and post installation, so I recommend that you copy it to your flash drive (it's always a good idea to have a backup bootable flash drive with hackintoshes) as well as disk EFI partition post-installation.

It should work, I've tested it on Mojave and Catalina.

I left my yoga 520 to sleep and when I came back it was in clover boot menu and the keyboard/mouse wasn't working . I tried to reboot but still didn't work ultimately I tried to fix it up with bios but keyboard still didn't work in bios ! NOW I'M STUCK !!!!! ANY IDEA TO FIX THIS ?

Try booting into windows or linux with a USB keyboard and check if the laptop keyboard works then. After that disable hibernation to be on the safe side.

DID YOU INSTALL IT ON A SSD ? previously i tried to install catalina on my hdd but some disk issues showed up ...then i tried to install mojave and it just worked fine ...will i be able to install catalina on my ssd wihtout disk issues ?

gasperTheGhost commented 4 years ago

I have my Catalina installation running on an SSD installed in the SATA port. I haven't tested it on the M.2 port, however, the disk on that port does show up in Finder after boot.
