TUELO Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Good day, guys!  I'm struggling with a macOS Catalina installation attempt. I did everything: 1) downloaded Catalina.raw file, 2) created the bootable pendrive using balenaEtcher, and 3) changed a few bios options (AHCI, VT-d disabled).  I'm able to start clover, but after the verbose commands are shown, the disk utility/installation doesn't proceed, i.e., the PC reboots. I tried everything I could, and I'm not much of a specialist in clover configs, so I'd appreciate a lot if anyone could help me    My specs are: Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-S1 Processor: Intel Core i5 3330 Memory:   DDR3 16Gb GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 DDR3 2GB trying to install on a SSD intel 128GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUELO Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just an update, I managed to move forward on installation by changing a few things in clover options: - Inject NVIDIA - use NVIDIA WEB drivers - FakeID: 0x12345678 I have no idea why this worked. Let's see if the installation continues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUELO Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yes, MaLd0n! Thanks for the reply. Now I tried again, and strangely enough I just copied a custom config.plist (with the NVIDIA options I mentioned previously) and clover/Catalina installer manage to recognise my screen resolution properly (1600x900). Anyways, the installation stops at about 2 minutes remaining, and when I boot the "installed macOS", it shows "Installing on macOS", but then breaks at 11 minutes remaining and shows "macOS could not be installed on your computer" and asks for reboots. At least now it doesn't seem anything with GPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUELO Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 I replaced the EFI folder you gave me, now the installer goes from the verbose commands directly to black screen (not even rebooting)... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUELO Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Well, I was able to see the installer (with nv_disable=1), but couldn't proceed because this time I got "This version of macOS 10.15.7 cannot be installed on this computer"...  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUELO Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 I choose iMac14,1 for SMBIOS, the installation process went on...but I got the "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again".  1) What should I do next? 2) Anyways, if it's successful, should I turn on "inject NVIDIA"? because that was the thing that allowed my native 1600x900. Finally! I could install macOS Catalina. 1) I still don't get my native graphics (since I can't load without nv_disable=1), and 2) Couldn't turn it bootable, even by copying the EFI folder to the EFI partition of my new macOS  Pleaase help!
