I was about to try this “fix” on a mac i acquired. While waiting for the USB to format and install the bootable media, I began to read the comments….Good thing I did. It seems this is not a viable option to recovery a MacOS. I stopped the installation, and afterwards, my USB flash drive was not reading anymore. It seems losing a USB flash drive is better than owning a bricked device.

Just wanted to say thanks .. A customer had tried to up to Montery and it had an aftermarket ssd (M2) that the firmware did not support.. the drive disappeared because of the drive not being OEM . Only 2 choices were to find a used Oem drive on Ebay or reinstall the os the Mac came with .. you saved the day by having the Dmg for download .. Thanks ! Keep up the great work !

can i use terminal to force boot from usb as it doesn’t work on keyboard command
i interrupted the erase disk half way through and the hdd is corrupted i think. advice?
in recovery mode, i cannot access the install.dmg built in to the system as it is greyed out in the disk images directories?
when i goto startup disk to select the usb option there is no bootable drive available, ssd or usb both are not there, it is blank and then i have no choice but to restart and cmnd r for another try.
how do i boot the mac when it’s not got a os installed, and in recovery mode it doesn’t pass the reinstsall screen when i select it, it contacts apple but stays doing nothing.
what terminal commands can i use to reformat the internal ssd. what command functions are to change the internal clock and date.

In reply to Diovs. this only works for Macs not any standard laptop or desktop computer, the installer is created from windows, but you can only run the installer on a Mac, if you want to run MacOS on any other computer try making a Hackintosh

In reply to Ash. i just put a new hd on my Imac 2012 and upgrade my ram, now the system is showing me a file with a question mark, i have tried getting the system online but it takes hours and disconnect on last minute, I downloaded a high sierra-dmg to do a bootable usb but it wont read on my mac, I struggle to change the usb from MRB to GPT. Technicians are very expensive here in South Africa and tend to be useless with apple products. can anyone please help.

The loading extensions(lines of code in white color in the black screen) after booting into clover GUI keeps going on.
The lines of code keep appearing, it never goes into macos installer.

i have used this method on a lot of macs from MacBook pro 2010 2011 2012 both 13″ and 15″ and MacBook air also iMac 27 2012 its all working fine all you need to do is reset the date to the firmware release date in this case 2012 and erase the hard drive that’s it.

Followed the steps correctly but during boot it says, “No bootable device found – insert boot disk and press any key”

Laptop used: Acer Travelmate 5744z
