Completely butchered my first EFI. Now got this one.

Title pretty much sums it up. My first EFI didn't get far, and this one didn't make it very far either. This is the current error I'm getting. And I'll attach my config as well. This is my first time doing this and I have not been successful. I've followed guides pretty exactly but they were kinda dated and not for my board.
My first EFI was so bad that I'd get a pretty long log, but then my PC would just restart and it never finshed and never saved the log.

Have you looked at this one to get a sense of the steps needed?
It would also be good to post the entire EFI folder (compressed).

Because this is a new thread, all of the hardware components should be mentioned, such as:
  • Motherboard
  • Motherboard BIOS version
  • CPU
  • GPU
  • Memory
  • Make/model of NVMe SSD(s)

Which BIOS parameters were changed, if any?

  • AGPMInjector kext should not be enabled
  • AmdCpuSync should not be enabled
  • AMD-OSX kernel patches are outdated and should be fully replaced with latest

Please have a look at the build guide I referred to above. It takes some time to configure EFI, but we need to put in that effort.

Including EFI zip.

I looked at your EFI folder. It would be best to start with this post and the 0.9.0 EFI folder provided there, but customize it for your system as described in Post 1 of that thread.

I believe I have everything customized? Inserted the MMIO entries and did everything else per the guide. When I launched the installer I still get a black screen with an apple logo. My keyboard and mouse will cut out after like 5-10 seconds of the Apple Logo showing up. It never progresses past the apple logo.

Hey Casey, good news i I can now boot to install Ventura. I went ahead and installed it but now I’m getting a screen that says “a required firmware update could not be installed” when i boot back into the macos installer.

Any news to resolve a required firmware update could not be installed? I encountered this problem too and been struggling to this problem... Here is my config plist.
