Ventura - Installation won't finish

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Hello guys.

For the first time I am trying to install Ventura in the same computer today I run Big Sur (I don't remember if the forum show in the signature the Rigs I have).

I created the flashdrive with the raw image provided here in Olarila (thanks guys) with balena.
The installation was going fine. it restarted about 2-3 times. Then I noticed it was in a loop, always installing the recovery folder, until this step, restart and again, again, see below:

I didn't change anything in the image so, maybe it is time to adjust something, right?

Like, use the same boot args I use for Big Sur?
Copy the EFI folder, also provided here by Olarila, to the flashdrive to meet my chipset (Intel chipset for i5-9400F processor) ?

EDIT> My specs: Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X - Intel i5 9400F - 16 GB DDR4 2666 - Radeon RX 570 4GB

Please, advise me how I can proceed.

Thanks in advance.

I managed to get it installing by replacing the EFI folder with the correct one for my motherboard.

thank you.
