Selecting UEFI: partition you would arrive at Clover boot Screen: USB 3.0 installer should work, did you try alternative USB ports. Please ensure you create USB installer as per this guide and it will work, double check that you placed the EFI folder inside the EFI partition. Thank you for the speedy reply. I tried both the usb as the efi of the usb, both got me back in to the boot select screen. The first fix that got me closer was changing my smbios to iMac 19.1, I assumed that would fit my system better as I have an i9900k and a Vega-56. The result then was that selecting the efi got me a strange green 3/D clover screen but every option there led me to the no parking sign. The next thing I tried was add a Vega 56 kext from a different build guide, switched virtualsmc with fakesmc and tried again. Its booting now, and although I haven't had the time to test everything at least the ssd speeds are finally as they should be!

I was comparing the config.plist of the pre and post EFI folders and I'm noticing a lot of changes. I would be curious to know the motivation behind them, do you have some info on this? Or maybe a good source where I can read some more about it? EDIT: I replaced my EFI Folder (the one attached) with the post install EFI from the guide, and added the vegetab_56 and the fakesmc as mentioned above. The system booted but after a minute or two it went into sleep mode, and on restart gave me a kernel panic. I then tried to just use the Post Install EFI without my additions, same story. I reverted back to the EFI Folder from before and its not booting again. Strangely every time I startup I get asked to login to ICLOUD again.

The pre-install EFI has port limit patches enabled, and different SMBIOS. I suppose it could be cleaned up a little, but would require more of my time and I know it is good for installing macOS Mojave on Aorus Pro Z390, so I don't bother with it as is serves a purpose. My post-install EFI has ports limit patch removed, and properties injected via devices in config.plist. Glad to see you are sorted!

I had some problems while doing the process: 1 - my external hd apparently worked on USB 3.0 ports 2 - sleep is not working, after I click on sleep, the screen goes black and the pc is still on, after a period it turned the screen back on its own, but the mouse click did not work nor the keyboard keys 3 - After locking in sleep I was forced to manually turn off the pc, and the motherboard lights do not turn off after the forced shutdown. PS. I did not have a kernel panic.
