Failed Unibeast 10.1.1 for Catalina install

[Nikinp]

@MacMan and rest of the team -
then why does UniBeast show Catalina when you go through the setup (surely if there's something wrong it shouldn't show)?

And what do you suggest now? I've followed all suggestions made my everyone. The image is the right size 8.23gb.
All I am attempting to do is to use build a fresh multiboot build on a newer software (i am on Yosemite) using things I have bought from the buyers guide (intel 9th gen). I just want to use my existing machine to give me a bootable OSX drive so I can build

Format a USB in GUID MacOS journaled. Copy the Catalina to it then run clover app and install to the usb EFI. Try to install. The gibMacOS May already be converted for the install. That may be why Unineast won’t pick it up and convert it to bootable USB format.

Copy the Catalina to it

sorry for the stupid question, but what do you mean here? I just drag the .app from the Applications to the USB stick?
Then Clover will be able to pick it up and start the installation of Catalina? Sounds fantastic.
Thanks a lot for your time

@thepawn I started with gibmacos but UniBeast didn’t work. Then I changed smbios via multibeast and downloaded via Mac store. So I think you are where I was. Having downloaded from Mac store - it is still not being recognised

 

[Nikinp]

@Gigamaxx I am using the version dowloaded via the AppStore as suggested by trs96 (not gibos, as that approach did not work), is your suggestion still valid?

I nevertheless have followed your suggestion using the Clover version suggested by trs96 in this post.

I've screenshot what is now on the USB drive having 'sucessfully installed'.
How can I know if this usb will work? I am loathed to pull apart my existing build just to put in a USB drive into the new build to find it doesnt work.
Edit: I just tried to boot clover on existing hardware (screenshot attached). I don’t see Catalina or reference to boot from USB.

Yes drag the install app then you need to download a version of clover and run the clover installer app and select the USB for the target. Go to downloads section for the Clover builds and choose a UEFI version.

@Gigamaxx See my post immediately preceding yours. That approach didnt work for my original post

UniBeast checks that it looks good by size and contents but can't check the dmg until createmedia runs.

 

[Nikinp]

@MacMan - could you help suggest a fix please?

 

[MacMan]

I have no idea how to fix it since createmedia fails.

It has to be something in the environment you are running in.
