UniBeast Compatibility

MacMan · Jul 30, 2020

Failure to create or excessive creation time is typically due to a defective USB stick, defective USB ports and/or using USB2.

There has been no other reports of issues when using Catalina. So it has to be something in your configuration.

I made it with my MacBook Air running High Sierra. If you want me to try it from my Hackintosh running Catalina, I can give that a go, but I have to reboot into Clover to disable the SIP. Do you want me to try that?

Were you trying it from Catalina or from an older OS?
I tried with another Pendrive, PNY too (what a concidence) and i got the same problem.

thank you for offering.
I’m trying one last thing. I updated to 10.15.6 and re-formatting the 3.0 usb drive in a different way. At the security option i moved the scroll thing over to the right.
If this does not work, then yes i would appreciate if you could try from your Catalina. Thank you kindly.

At this point i tried doing this on 3 different USB sticks, two different macbook pros. I’m losing my sanity and i haven’t even started doing anything complicated.

I actually did use my Hackintosh (10.15.6) to run Unibeast 10.3.0 and make the installer (Install Catalina 10.15.6, UEFI) yesterday.

If you want, I can offer to see if Legacy will work, but that may be moot since we've established that Legacy won't be able to boot Catalina anyway.

~~What is "the security option?" Is this in Disk Utility?~~
Edit: found the security option. I don't think this will make a difference. I had mine all the way to the left, ie "fastest"

i must have missed the part where it was established that legacy won’t boot catalina. Where is this?
