Hey guys, I seem to be having an issue booting into the Mac OS installer for High Sierra (10.13.6) on my Asus UX305FA (Core M-5Y71, HD5300, 1920x1080). I am following the Rehabman laptop guide to the letter but here is the problem I am having:
When booting (using a USB2.0 stick) from the latest Rehabman clover fork r4701 (and trying even the latest Clover version r5100) and selecting verbose boot, everything seems to go smoothly and I get to a grey screen with a mouse cursor but immediately that screen is replaced with an Apple Logo and a progress bar that hasn't moved in the past 24 hours.
I am using the template config.plist file from Rehabman for HD5300 series GPUs and have changed my ProductName in the config.plist file to MacBook8,1 as it is the closest to the CPU I have.
I have tried countless different troubleshooting steps such as trying all 3 USB ports on my laptop or changing stuff in the config.plist file such as injecting a fake ig-platform-id, launching without CSM enabled (garbled screen but still stuck at Apple logo), launching in single user mode, launching in safe mode (this one causes my laptop to just reboot after a few verbose boot messages) but nothing changes. I have been trying to follow another guide for my laptop for installing High Sierra (linked here) as well with regards to BIOS settings but since it is a bit outdated, I don't know how reliable it is. I don't know what could be causing the issue but I suspect maybe it is either USB or iGPU related.
There is no issue with verbose boot as it passes by so I can't get a screenshot of it but you can find my Clover folder along with a video of the whole process below in case there is something wrong there that I am doing. Hopefully someone can help.
JUST A NOTE THAT I HAVE TRIED MOJAVE AS WELL AND SAME RESULT
Thanks!
