USB won't boot into Mojave installer


xWeasel

Recommended Posts

Hi, I downloaded the Olarila image file for Mojave and used Etcher to create a bootable USB. I also edited my BIOS according to the guide, but when I boot the UEFI USB, I get a black screen with a white horizontal line in the top left corner (attached a picture showing this). I waited 30 minutes and still nothing happened. I then tried to create the bootable USB on another USB, but still the same issue. After this I tried to download Mojave from the appstore and create a bootable USB using that but I got the same issue. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK, GPU: GTX 780, CPU: Intel i5-3570k

use UEFI, boot with F8 key and select UEFI USB stick

Thank you for the rapid reply! I am booting the UEFI USB but still have the same problem (sorry i forgot to attach the picture before but I added it now). Also I was following your guide and it said that all I needed was the image file. Sorry i'm a noob at this.

[ref]xWeasel[/ref], sound like a legacy boot, check bios settings

try with other clover version

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to use "clover configurator" to mount the USB's EFI and replace it with one I downloaded and still didn't work (I also changed the "config.plist" to match closely to my specs). Do you recommend using clover EFI bootloader instead?

idk, check ur procedure

Ok I managed to finally boot into Clover by setting the USB first on the boot and the UEFI as the second, but the Apple logo shows and after a few minutes, the PC restarts. Any ideas why? I tried putting it in safe mode but I get the same issue.

Thanks for the reply. AHCI is enabled and could you please tell me how I can enable that? Couldn't find the option for it on Clover Configurator.

Thank you sooo much for helping me out! I finally got everything to work. Except for the audio which I am currently trying to fix. :D


EDIT: To make it work, I had to change a few settings in the Clover installation and add an efi file to load my SSD (because the format of it was APFS).
