How to stop the reboot after installing?
A real solution for those who get stuck at STEP 1.
Seeing no real solutions offered here on the forums, other then seeing users getting pushed to look at the troubleshooting guide for UniBeast 8 and then coming back empty handed because they are stuck at:
The troubleshooting guide won't supply users with a fix and users getting all over forums pushed back to the guide.
The fine install guide tells you in step 1:
And then you windup with an installer thats 19MB in /Applications.
Then you start UniBeast and it says "Selected Mac OS X Installer is incomplete".
If this is you then you can fix this by doing the following:
You will need to recreate the full installer from the separate parts.
To do so we will use the installer stub app to grab all the files from Apple and then abort the install before it does anything else.
Run the 19MB stub installer (/Applications/Install macOS High Sierra).
Choose the install disk and click ‘install’ (it won’t actually install yet!).
It will download the remaining install files and place them under /macOS Install Data (i.e. look for the folder in the root of your hard drive ‘Macintosh HD’).
When it has finished downloading all it needs, the installer screen will then ask you to restart the Mac – but don’t! At this point ABORT the install by quitting the installer app.
Next we will recreate the full installer from all the downloaded parts. This will restore the ability to create an install media USB.
Do the following:
Open Terminal and run: sudo -s
Enter admin credentials to gain root permissions.
Then copy and paste the following 3 commands:
mkdir /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/SharedSupport
cd /macOS\ Install\ Data
find . -mount | cpio -pvdm /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/SharedSupport
You now have a full installer package in your Applications folder!
Now goto STEP 2: Create a Bootable USB Drive with UniBeast to continue the install guide.
finally, need to
xar -xf InstallESDDmg.pkg InstallESD.dmg
to extract the dmg from the pkg file.
Maybe other users find this information helpful.
I followed the guide step by step. The installation of the USB install disk was successful with Unibeast under macOS Sierra 10.12.0. But after that, the installation of macOS High Sierra will abort immediately with the error code:
macOS could not be installed on your computer.My only option left was to update to Sierra 10.12.6 and download the full copy via App Store.
An error occurred while loading the installer resources.
Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.
