After getting tired of fixing MacOS High Sierra I though i would instead go back to Sierra. So i made a usb using createinstallmedia and tried booting from it using Clover. For some reason, it got stuck at Still Waiting for Root Device.

 

Can Clover not boot from a createinstallmedia drive.

Is there something I need to do.

BTW the most access i have to the system is Recovery HD where i use the terminal in it to navigate.

Clover boots USB installers created that way, no issue on that front. Your USB installer fine-tuning is probably the defective element here. Maybe you forgot the USB adjustments that are required since El Capitan.

 

Maybe you can post your system's specs and your zipped Clover EFI folder to begin with...

Thanks, I tried recreating the media and i managed to boot into the system. I clicked Install but it told me that I need to verify the elibility of this computer through Apple. But I cannot connect to the internet, Is there a way to bypass this
