so I changed the SMBIOS of my existing build to MacBook Air using clover configurator and went to the app store, started and cancelled the download of macOS Mojave several times until I managed to get it to download the full 6.03GB installer. I then followed the guide in https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093 and used createinstallmedia command:
this one made the installer fail
I then used the command:
to download any missing assets required by the installer, it then downloaded ~250MB files and proceeded as usual. but it also made the installer fail with the following error:
note: this error happened when I used both commands mentioned above.
I also tried to format my drive as APFS and JHFS+ which seemed to have no effect whatsoever. I really don't know what is the problem here and could use some help!
my build is:
Code:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/install_macos --nointeraction
I then used the command:
Code:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/install_macos --nointeraction --downloadassets
An error occurred validating the installer data. The download is either damaged or incomplete.
Redownload the installer and try again.
