When I boot to the install media, the Apple logo shows up with a progress bar below it. The progress bar eventually fills up, and it briefly shows the background of the install environment, showing a mouse I can even move but then rebooting the computer.

I've already installed Ventura other times in this laptop, idk what's going on. It's the i5-8350U variant with 16GB of memory, a 256GB NVMe SSD, 1920x1080 display (no touch) and original Intel Wi-Fi/BT.

The failed boot:

I was facing something similar, in one attempt I installed in another drive (slow mechanical drive I had resting around my house) and then I clone the slow drive to the new SSD. I booted normally, also, in my new Hack, I was having troubles to install, this time, I changed the view in the Drive partition manager, and I erased the drive instead erasing the volume.

The problem is booting to the install media, so I can't even install to any other drive.

I followed the guide in the repo's README.

I have the same problem with Ventura

Edit: The macrecovery command in README.md is mislabeled, it downloads Sonoma, not Ventura
To download Ventura: python ./macrecovery.py -b Mac-4B682C642B45593E -m 00000000000000000 download

I tried Ventura, same problem

In Sonoma the loading bar is on the bottom of the screen while Ventura is in the correct location, still reboots midway though

I have made a few changes in the dev branch. Does the problem still exist with this? https://github.com/valnoxy/t480-oc/tree/dev

After swaping the nvme ssd for another one it boots like normal
using the latest release, not the dev branch

also, the macrecovery command for downloading macOS Ventura is wrong, it actually downloads macOS Sonoma instead
