I used Dortania's OpenCore guide and I tried to build my own EFI (did not boot at all). I then stole some kexts and config file from a Success ful Hackintosh with identical specs and made some edits (serial number etc.). The machine Success fully booted to RecoveryOS. As expected, touchpad and wifi did not work but that's not a huge problem. I understand that someone else's EFI might not work on my machine despite having identical specs but that's the only way I have gotten my machine to boot.
THE PROBLEM:
When installing Big Sur via RecoveryOS, the installer freezes once the estimated time reaches 13 or 12 minutes remaining. I tried the common troubleshooting steps such as resetting the NVRAM but to no avail. When I checked the installation log, nothing appears to be halting the install. I've been trying for over a week now and I still cannot find a solution to the issue. I am having trouble finding this issue online and I'm beginning to lose some patience after being at this for a week. I would appreciate any help! I'm still a rookie!
