Can't run macOS Installer, even though it seems like I did everything right

Hey! I tried to install macOS 14 Sonoma on my PC multiple times. All of them were unsuccessful. I have tried ways through downloading a raw image from Oralila, and tried to do everything form scratch using the OpenCore guide.

The entire process has been done using:

  • Windows 10, Desktop
  • Ivy Bridge i7 3770K
  • NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti
  • Z77 Chipset Model

If I used the Oralila, then I could boot into the installer, but nothing (mouse/keyboard) would work. It would just show on the screen a mouse and a keyboard, asking to turn them on. Using the method, where I did everything by myself, I couldn't even run the installer. It would stop and repeat [AHCI][PRT][00170050] AbortCommands::5382:Port 0 - called, deviceWithError 0, errCode = 0xe0030005 . With Oralila I would get the same error, but there it at least runs after a short amount of time, even though there are far more errors, i just couldn't catch them (and I also don't like them).

Here are my files regarding Oralila method. But I did change some kext to fit my PC better, but I also has updated the config.plist.

I don't have EFI for the method using the Open Core Guide, but I remember the file I was using:

ACPI had:

  • SSDT-IMAI.aml
  • I don't need SSDT-EC because it is already natively supported

Drivers:

  • HfsPlus.efi
  • OpenRuntime.efi
  • ResetNvramEntry.efi

Kexts:

  • lilu
  • VirtualSMC & SMCProcessor.kext & SMCSuperIO.kext
  • WhateverGreen
  • RealtekRTL8111
  • USBToolBox
  • USBMap (yes, I mapped my USBs from the beginning, and made false XhciPortLimit*)*
  • BlueToolFixup (tried with and without)
  • NVMeFix (tried with and without)
  • SATA-Unsupported (tried with and without)
  • VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID.kext

And every time I did a change with kexts or drivers or ACPI, for both methods, I would change my config.plist. And I changed my BIOS' settings also, all the options I could change.

And in my OpenCore plist I had put that is was iMac19,1. Have generated Serial, Board and bla-bla-bla using the program GenSMBIOS. But I didn't change anything in the Oralila method.

What am I doing wrong? I can't understand, why nothing works... Please, help!
