I am conected to ethernet (even tried safari to confirm) but it still gives out the error. I'm on an i7-3630qm, 16gb of ram and 128gb ssd. The SSD is partitioned with APFS, as it says in the guide.

Edit: MacOS Monterey

Similar error to mine. When will owner of repo notice this?

NOTE: Tried this with Ventura, it was very slow, and yes, all of the drivers were installed. But if you wanna try it yourself with possibly better success:

Made an offline installer of MacOS Catalina (using this guide https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/jrrhox/how_to_make_a_full_offline_installer_for_macos_on/), copied the files from the repo to the EFI partition in the USB drive and Booted from the USB Stick! The installer did everything without any errors and "soon" (not really soon) I was into MacOS Catalina! From there I made an offline installer of Ventura using apple's guide and soon I was in the installer without any issues! Ventura installed fine and soon on the Desktop. Speeds were ultra slow though, but i guess that's what I get for running MacOS on 12 year old hardware. Should be better though.

PS: If anyone knows how the fix the slowness in Ventura it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: realized how much uninformative my comment was

Bump: Fixed, MacOS Ventura speeds are slow

Figured out how to fix this problem. I found another OpenCore EFI folder here that had more detailed instructions. The three very important ones are using GenSMBIOS with the MacBookPro15,3 option, disabling SIP (which is detailed in the aforementioned link), and resetting the NVRAM in OpenCore before booting the installer. After doing these three steps with this EFI folder, I was successfully able to perform an online install of MacOS 12 Ventura.

Once the installer finished, I noticed the extreme slowness @Pepeshki pointed out. Turns out MacOS Ventura and later dropped iGPU support for Ivy Bridge CPUs. This was easily fixed by using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. I downloaded it, chose "Post-Install Root Patch", and rebooted. I then had to re-run the patcher and reboot for a second time. After that, the system performs flawlessly. I really hope this helps the rest of you all!

Update: To be able to run ssdtPRGen, you'll have to re-run GenSMBIOS with the MacBookPro10,1 option, then carry out the rest of the steps as normal. After generating your sst, run GenSMBIOS again with the MacBookPro15,3 option, otherwise your camera may stop working
