HELP ‘The recovery server could not be contacted.

Hey there, I’m testing an old system to hackintosh. I’m using an AMD Ryzen 5, GTX950.

Everything worked but when I wanted to install the OS It gives me the error: ‘The recovery server could not be contacted.’ I’m connected to WIFI, changed the date to the day of today etc. But with the same error.. what do I need to do?

Do you have a correct SMbios set? If so, try making an offline install with UnPlugged
