Hello everyone. I noticed that it has been difficult to burn the new image, especially of Sequoia, from some versions up until now.

I discovered two ways to "burn" the SSD/Pendrive/HD:

 

1. Using OCLP to create a bootable ISO of MacOs and not give the bless error;

 

2. Using some commands, but they don't always work properly, it depends on your hardware.

 

In addition to the common commands we use, in some cases, you need to disable SIP (especially real Macs) and in others some parameters before running the commands in the terminal.

 

Install rosetta for real Macs and some Hacks first: 

 

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

 

Format your Drive (not only partition) in macOs Extanded Journaling and I rename my disk to MyVolume

 

After do this run this command on Terminal: 

 

zsh killed  sudo /Volumes/MyVolume

 

And some cases, run in root: 

 

sudo -i

 

in root# type

 

cd /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/

codesign -s - -f createinstallmedia

 

Alternatively

 

cd /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app


find . -type f -exec codesign -s - -f "{}" \;

 

Then run command normally 

 

 

Option 1:

 

sudo arch -x86_64 /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

 

Option 2:

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app

 

Option 3:

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume 

Option 4:

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app --nointeraction

 

 

I prefere use OCLP, so much more easy, but I have been tested in Apple Silicon so works commands to me.

 

Good Lucky

 

 

@Max.1974 I have used this GitHub app more recently to create macOS installation media

Mist

It offers various options depending on how you want to install macOS.

 

Mr. Macintosh also published a nice guide that I have followed in the past.

I think my problem is related to stuck images that the computer thinks has not been ejected properly. Every time I boot into my system the notifications in the first pics flashes up. In the 2nd pic you can see these Apple instal media images in Disk Utility. Ive tried to erase them which fails. I can eject them but they all reappear on the next boot up. So Im thinking thats why my UsB Keeps ejecting when I start the usb creation process via Terminal or OCP.

Oh yeah my dear friend, it's another great option ! Thanks you ! I will test soon on my Apple Silicon M4 Pro. But I want in fact not create restore image to my MacMini. But create Installer to use on Hack. :)

Hi, its not normal get this issues. Im think you need check your mapping USB if have no errors in mapping. Just left without mapping your internal and external ports result this.  Look if are you using XHCI-Unsupported Kext + USBInjectall Kext because both of them after install, cause this. Remove XHCI-Unsupported, and check your SSDT-USB ports to see if you have UPC, and need fix this SSDT too.

Hi @jlrycm I try used Mist in my Hack Desktop Build but I got errors too... but so many thanks for this excellent app.

Only Works with OCLP media Creator but this app flash all driver, so is not possible "choose" specific partition...Thanks!! :thumbsup_anim:

I think is something related with Processor Type, because my Lenovo Kaby Lake i5-7200-U works like a charm!

Hi, sorry if my criticism comes across a bit harsh but your install is seriously flawed.

Personally I would remove all other attached drives from the system to minimize data corruption and do a clean install. 

 

The unrecognized disk you speak of that keeps popping up (Creedence..........) is part of Apple's Security measure as far as I understand and is more pertaining to the Apple Chip machines but shows itself as a disk image on Intel Macs.

 

Trying to delete, format or unmount it only exacerbates the problem as you've found out by the creation of multiple images of the same on reboot. It's best to leave it alone as it causes no problems and is there for a reason.

 

One last criticism, why so many folders on your Desktop? Surely you can organize your files better than that!!!!

With so many Storage Disks attached, I would think they is no need to house so many folders there.

 

Again like I said, remove all other Drives attached apart from the MacOS drive, format and do a clean Install because as far as I can see, your System is beyond saving in it's current state and will always be so with every future Update unless a corrective measure is taken.

Hi no offence taken. I totally agree with you. I'm just waiting to get hold of my daughter's MacBook so I can create an installer and I know I've been lazy with the desktop lol.

Hello my dears, I have just successfully tested chris1111's  @Chris1111 program for creating USB and it worked very well!

Big Thanks @Chris1111 !!

I tried to make a new usb installer

OpCore-Simplify does not create a USB installer ! but a customized EFI based on your HW thanks to the Hardware Sniffer utility
Just launch OpCore-Simplify.py (Python must be installed) and follow the instructions ... only from Windows

It is possible to modify if something does not please us with OpenCore Auxiliary Tools example or any plist editor
