Unibeast USB stick not booting (Lenovo B5400)

Not open for further replies.
Hello! :)

After almost 2 years (!) since my first attempts, I managed to find time to try again. This time, I followed the Clover Guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

I managed to boot into Clover, Yosemite shows up, and I tried to boot it.

The black loading screen with the Apple came up, and eventually (after +/- 30 mins) got stuck exactly in the middle of the white loading bar.

I tried again, this time in Verbose mode, and here is where it stuck. Could you please help me?


PS. I was very happy that I actually didn't get stuck on a Local APIC error this time :D

What version of OS X? From where did you download OS X? On what hardware did you create your USB installer?

Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).

Thank you for the response, RehabMan! :)

The installer is for 10.10

I downloaded it from the App Store on my parents' 2007 iMac running OS X Lion (I used the BaseBinaries method to copy the installer). Also, I made the stick in GPT format as the MBR option gave me an error of a "not recognized filesystem".

Here is the Clover folder

If you download 10.10 now, you should get 10.10.5, not 10.10.0.

Yes, but the installer was already on iMac, I didn't download it now. If it might make a difference, I can download it again :)

Looks like a USB problem. Try all USB ports, both with USB2 and USB3 flash drives.

Could really be. I used a 64GB USB 3.0 drive. I have one more USB 2.0 drive with 16GB. Will it do, or does it have to be specifically 8GB?
