How to Fix OpenCore boots to Recovery everytime I select Macintosh HD while installing

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Hi all,

i‘m trying to hackintosh another PC.

When I was in the recovery I formatted the SSD as Macintosh HD, APFS & GUID. After that I installed macOS, and while installing there was the boot entry where I could boot the macOS setup (Macintosh HD) but if I boot it, it starts the recovery.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.
