5 years ago Hi Soulomoon,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Forgive my noobiness on this subject, but I can't seem to complete the installation even thought I have a very similar build to yours.
Dell-Precision-5510 i7-6820HQ Intel HD530 / Nvidia Quadro M100M 32G-DDR4 4k-Screen 512G Samsung NVMe SSD
I tried to follow up on the provided link and did the following steps:
Mac OS X Mojave Installer for the Mac Store on a real Mac.diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk2 GPT JHFS+ Mojave 0bMojave installer
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Mojave --nointeraction Clover and installed it on to my USB.Head on over to my Dell:
General > Boot Sequence clicked on Add Boot Option
Do you know what I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance.

5 years ago My guess is because of the 4k, try to boot the installer with an invalid ig-platform-id in config.plist, e.g. 0x12345678 see here

5 years ago One step closer! 😁 I was now able to boot into the installer thanks to your comment! Next up are all my steps, sorry if some seem super obvious, just want a more noob friendly guide.
I managed to format my disk to Mac OS X Journaled (I could not see any HFS option in the partition options)
Clicked on Install MacOS > Continue > Agree > Agree > selected my newly created disk from the previous step and waited for about 10 minutes before the copying would be finished.
However after about 8 minutes the system suddenly restarted itself and I was presented with the Clover boot screen again.
This time however it had detected my primary disk, so I tried to see if I could continue the installation on it
It did! and I was presented with the Apple logo (good sign) and a progress indicator telling me About 9 minutes remaining
After installation yet another volume was detected by Clover (Recovery)
I ignored it and clicked to boot from my main disk again.
Again a bunch of usual verbose log files come rushing by and then the computer goes in an endless bootloop.
So close now. Any idea? Any log file I can capture that would give you more info?
One of the last lines goed like this:
panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff000e6db92d): Kernel trap at 0xffffff800e6d4273, type=page fault registers: (a whole lot of hex numbers) Fault CR2: (hex number) Error code: 0x000000000000000000, Fault CPU: 0x2, PL:0, VF: 0 Backtrace (CPU 2), frame : Return Address (a whole lot of hex numbers) BSD process name corresponding to current thread VIDecoderXPCServ Boot args: brcmfx-country=#a dart=0 -v BSD process name corresponding to current thread VIDecoderXPCServ
The very last line:
Attempting system restart...
The very first few lines:
Start Start OSName End OSName Start InitDeviceTree End InitDeviceTree Start InitMemoryConfig End MemoryConfig Start CheckHibernate End CheckHibernate ef boot loaded from device ... ef boot file path: \System\library\CoreServices\boot.efi Start OpenVolume End OpenVolume Start ProcessOptions AMF: Only 49/256 slides values are usable! Valid slides: 73-121 End ProcessOptions
This system was automatically rebooted after panic

5 years ago @timrijckaert It seems you almost success. Sorry I can't provide more suggestion since I don't know what is the cause for the panic neither, I have a question though, what is the exact name of your disk?

5 years ago You mean the make? Or you mean the nickname i gave it in the installer?

5 years ago I use the images from this site https://olarila.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=51. You have to create a user account to download. This will get you to a bootable system. Then you can overwrite the clover folder with the one in this repo.
I have been formatting my target disk to apfs since Mojave. Currently running Catalina 10.15 beta 2. The only issue I have is with the enable HDMI kext edit. I believe it has something to do with how Catalina creates two partitions, Catalina and Catalina - Data. The Catalina - Data partition is read only.
I am currently updating my repo https://github.com/PLChinDev/Dell-Precision-5510-Catalina.git if you want to take a look.

5 years ago Hmm, I don't seem to get it work @PLChinDev. It might be a good idea if you could have a full written guide on your approach. I would be very interested 😃

Check if you have the latest BIOS. My BIOS version is 1.10 on a Precision 5510.
Go to this site and create an account. https://olarila.com/forum/
This link shows you how to make the bootable USB. Use a 16GB if you have one. https://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=10365

Use the folders from my repo after you install clover bootloader. I just updated them a few minutes ago. The Boot and Clover folder have to be copied to the EFI folder on the EFI partition. Select replace existing files when it prompts you.
Download Kext Utility, Clover Configurator and Kext Beast. There is a folder on install USB named “FILES” that has useful apps in it.
http://cvad-mac.narod.ru/index/0-4Copy all of the kets from the folder “Install to :Library:Extensions” to your desktop.
Open KextBeast, select continue twice and then select agree. Check the box next to /Library/Extensions and continue. Click install.
Open Kext Utility when KextBeast is finished installing. It will prompt you for your password then it will repair the permissions of two folders. Do not close the app until the Quit button can be clicked.
Reboot
You should be able to boot into the system without the USB now. If you make changes to any of the kexts in /Library/Extensions, run Kext Utility so it repairs the permissions of the kexts. You can delete the kexts from the desktop if everything is working right.
My reply
Hi Piercel,
Thanks for your written guide. Steps I did:
- I checked my BIOS and I was on 1.9.0, so I first updated to 1.10.0 like you said.-
- I downloaded the Olarila Catalina Beta2 flashed it on a 32gig stick and followed the guide by selecting config2.plist However it is stuck now for more than 10minutes and the flash drive has stopped flashing the LED.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

5 years ago Do you have Skype? I could probably assist more if we have a text chat. Where are you stuck? What OS are you creating install USB from? Windows/Linux/macOS?

5 years ago Hi @PLChinDev ,
Thanks for the help so far. I tried a couple more times today with some reading here and there.
I used the Olarila Mac OS X Catalina Beta 2 Image
flashed it on my 32 gig USB.
However to make it bootable on my config I added Soulomoon's config.plist to the UEFI partition and was once more able to boot in to the Mac OS Installer.
I erased my disk to the APFS format and it's currently installing MacOS X as we speak
I decided to document every single stupid step I did, since I think there are a lot of things that might seem obvious for more experienced Hackintosher You can read it here.
I'll update you guys here.

5 years ago Ok,
I finally managed to boot into Catalina!
However now I have an issue with the Clover EFI Bootloader.
I downloaded version Clover_v2.4k_r4972.
However when I try and execute it, I get
This package is incompatible with this version of macOS The package is trying to install content to the system volume. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance
Do I need another version? Does it have to do with the new way Catalina is mounted in RO mode now?
EDIT:
I found this ticket. I tried executing:
sudo spctl --master-disableNow the installer did let me install it.
However upon inspecting the contents of my EFI partition it did not see anything clover related:
