Easy Yosemite Clover USB Installer

[Asus-Freak]

Yosemite Final - Clover USB Installer.

* This process assumes you are familiar with Clover...

Format a 8GB+ USB with GUID partition mapping and name it Install.
Insure the OS X Yosemite.app is in your Application folder.

In terminal run the following script.

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume  /Volumes/Install --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

This will take several minutes so be patient, the script will notify you when complete.



Now Install Clover r2696 (or newer) to the Install USB. Clover r2953 or newer Recommended!
Copy FakeSMC and Network kexts to /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.10 (you’ll have to create the 10.10 folder}
Boot USB to Clover, highlight "Install OS X Yosimite" and hit the spacebar, choose "with injected kext”
and install Yosemite. Re-boot to USB and select your SSD or HD, hit the spacebar and again
choose “with injected kext” to complete the installation.

Install Clover to your boot drive. install your kexts to S/L/E or use Clover to inject kexts from EFI/Clover/kexts/10.10
Done


Please post Clover questions here.

Thanks Clover dev team. Clover

EDIT: For anyone having a problem with this process:

You might try using the HFSPlus rather than VBoxHfs-64, link below. Also be certain you're booting from a USB 2.0 port.

EDIT: you might also try the latest Clover version r2957

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xh53hy6ex0...7.pkg.zip?dl=0 as it contains a new version of VBoxHfs-64.efi

Trying this right now!

Edit 1: If your mac is running in any language other than english, modify the script with the proper name for the installer app, otherwise it won't work.

Clover is not giving me the option to install "with injected kexts".

I only see an option to install "without injected kexts"

Any ideas?

Working script:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume  /Volumes/Install --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

That's because Clover determined Fake was in S/L/E. Just boot normally then...

Working script:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume  /Volumes/Install --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

This script is not working for me.

"sudo: /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found"

This is the error I am getting in Terminal

Clover does not seem to be able to boot it. Clover starts but when try to boot installer, nothing happens... or do you have to have real mac for this?

same thing happens to me I get to the boot screen, try to hit enter on the "yosemite installer" and nothing happens. When I hit space there wasn't an option for "with injected kexts" only "without"

I have retested this process twice again, once using a Kingston USB 8gig and another with a PNY USB 16gig. They both work quite nicely here on a Asus Z87 Gryphon, Asus Z97M-Plus, and a AsusZ97I-Plus. Without more info, this is like fixing something that's not broke... If you can provide any more info I'll continue to test...

Boot USB to Clover, highlight your Install USB, hit the spacebar, choose “with injected kext”
Install Yosemite. Boot to USB again and select your Yosemite HD or SSD "with injected kexts" to complete the installation.

Not quite right. When you boot the second time and it completes the installation, you still select "Install OS X Yosemite" from the USB, not the hard drive. In my case, it was the only option to choose.
