You could simply update via the app it would save you some time.

true, but always good to have a usb installer in case of issues

I have a Time Machine back up so not really a issue for me tbh.

Still artefacts on HD530, how in hell is that possible?? is there a new configuration on .plist that I haven't read of that changes anything? (mean the 0x19120000 with the intel=yes on gfx section)

http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/ but you will need to change from el capitan to the name of the installer in your applications folder

sudo "/Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume  /Volumes/install_osx --applicationpath "/Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app" --nointeraction

It does not work. I do not know how to compose Terminal commands, it seems I need like something like
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra\ Public\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra\ Public\ Beta.app --nointeraction

Are you renaming you're Pen Drive as USB?

Try:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction

And make sure you've called your USB drive 'USB'

Dud?
Running MacOS Sierra Beta 7
1. Downloaded MacOS Sierra GM redeeming the code
2. Made a backup
3. Cloned the drive
4. Restarted and switched to the cloned drive
5. Initiated install on the cloned drive. Started OK and took few minutes to the first reset point
6. ON reset, it seemed to start the install but then broke off after a minute (the bar at around 5%, no messages) or so and then started up as Beta 7 (build code didn't change)
Is running fine, as if nothing happened.
Any ides here?

P.S. Tried again, and behavior is the same as described above...

Try:

/Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction

And make sure you've called your USB drive 'USB'

(don't forget the sudo at the beginning)

Oops yeah indeed: (I always start with 'sudo -s')

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction

Sierra is running fine here BTW, apart from the Nvidia GTX 750 Ti transparency problem, which I fixed with Accessibility->Display->'Reduce Transparency'

Hopefully it's fixed with the next driver release
