After Mojave Install, no APFS SSD in Clover Boot Menu

[CreativelyChris]

I've made a Mojave Install USB and used Clover 2.4k_r4682 and selected ApfsDriverLoader-64 and also grabbed the APFS.efi file from my install medai and put it into EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI

 

The installer boots fine. I'm forced to make my SSD an APFS drive, files install and the system reboots, but then I only see my install media. It doesn't see my SSD at all.

 

What can I/should I do?

Same problem in New Mojave on T470p. SAMSUNG MZVLW512HMJP-000L7 (512 GB, PCI-E 3.0 x4) with NVM . Tried without success:
- SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext
- NvmExpressDxe-64.efi
- One of the special LiteOn/Plextor/Hynix patches. https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme

 

This solution worked my on High Sierra, but not on Mojave.

Ane idea?

I don't think you need APFS.efi, ApfsDriverLoader-64 is enough.

This is what I have on drivers64UEFI,  and you can see that I don't have APFS.efi

add hfs+64uefi driver to your usb efi/drivers64uefi folder. also keep apfs.efi as it is. hope it works!!!!!

I have a SSD and I will make a clean installation of Mojave,

 

Which installation do you recommend as HFS + or APFS.

 

Thank you

If you got an SSD, you wont have a choice. MacOS will convert any HFS+ SSD to APFS.

I used the installer of chris1111 and made the installation of Mojave HFS and not APFS.

And with Mojave HFS, can you still update direct from App Store, bro? Cause i hear somewhere seems HFS+ can't update from AppStore, only APFS can update from AppStore.

I had the same issue...fixed it by keeping hfs+ instead of apfs. If you really want the apfs file format this will obviously not fix your problem.

 

I Tried apfs.efi and apfsloader64.efi, but it never showed me the apfs partition, then tried the paragon apfs to hfs+ converter and manual repartitioning after the mojave installation, but it just corrupted my drive so it wasnt able to boot (Showed prohibitory sign). 

I then tried skipping the apfs conversion in the install-process via terminal (/Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --converttoapfs NO) but it didnt work because of an firmware error within my drive.

 

BUT!...This installer made my day: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/944-mojave-mbr-hfs-firmware-check-patch/

 

It skipped the firmware check so I was able to install mojave on my HFS+ SSD with the converttoapfs No
