flava Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hey Guys I have followed various guides on here and other places to make the usb yosemite installer but when I boot from the installer usb I get to clover then add any boot args that are needed then select the usb stick to boot from - all I get after pressing enter is a black screen. So I used the MacPwn tool which does all the hard work for you in making the bootable usb, I am able to boot up and get to the installation of yosemite but it gets to less than a minute remaining of the install and then fails with undefined error: 0 Any help would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt77303 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I had the same with macpwn. I think it's todo with installing the boot loader. I gave up with it and followed this.... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298521-easy-yosemite-1010-usb-installer/ Worked first time.

alexanderq Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Clover chooses for you a specific mac model based on your hardware which is not supported on 10.10 so you will have to choose another one and put it in your config.plist (smbiosplist from chameleon)or delete the file: /System/Library/Coreservices/PlatformSupport.plist Look here for clover http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/SMBIOS and here for supported models http://www.macissues.com/2014/06/04/will-your-mac-run-os-x-10-10-yosemite/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flava Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Ok I ended up deleting the file PlatformSupport.plist /System/Library/Coreservices/PlatformSupport.plist which has got me past my last post I now get this which is weird seeing as I am trying to install Yosemine - anyone ? Thanks again for the input people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eftaefta Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I had the same problem. The solution is very simple. At the point you selecet the hard disk to install Yosemite don't click install. Choose custom options and at the next menu deselect clover installation. Then install Yosemite and on reboot, reboot back to usb installer and select to boot from the hard drive you put the OS X. The system then loads and you can install if you want clover otherwise you will need your usb flash installer to boot every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray_454 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Ok I ended up deleting the file PlatformSupport.plist /System/Library/Coreservices/PlatformSupport.plist which has got me past my last post I now get this which is weird seeing as I am trying to install Yosemine - anyone ? Thanks again for the input people Do you have a Mavericks installtion since before, or does the installer just think you do? I tried installing Yosemite over an existing Mavericks installation. While the installation succeeded, it just wouldn't boot (crashed during boot after installation was done). Finally I just reformatted the drive and installed yosemite to the blank partition, then everything worked great. I would recommend just backing up the files you need and formatting the drive before installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helped to complete the installation but when I reboot Clover on the usb installer I can only start the installer... I can't select my installed system...? /edit: First I installed on a SSD, it was invisible. Then I installed on a HDD and I can boot it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
