Download the official macOS Catalina image, Clover Configurator and Hackintool.
DO NOT use UniBeast to create the drive. It may create strange errors. And do not use MultiBeast for post installation jobs.
Follow this guide to create the boot drive. Copy my /EFI
folder into the EFI partition of your boot drive. Also copy Clover Configurator and Hackintool into the main partition.
Press F8 to boot into your flash drive. Move to Boot macOS Install from Install macOS Catalina and press spacebar to add -v(verbose) to display debug messages. If USB 3.0 gives error, switch to USB 2.0.
Before installation, first open Disk Utility to erase the drive. You can choose either APFS(recommended) or HFS+ with GUID partition map.
The system will auto reboot from USB for several times. In initialization page DO NOT connect to internet and login iCloud, Create a local account instead. Then you should be able to reach the desktop.
After the first boot, open Clover Configurator to mount both EFI partitions in SSD and flash drive.
Copy everything from the EFI in flash drive to the EFI in SSD and reboot. Now you should be able to boot from SSD.
Refer to this guide to generate serial number. Save and reboot. Then you should be able to login iCloud.
