[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

abdalmoniem said:
perfect one, thank you.
I followed the guide and was able to successfully install and run OS X El Capitan for a week or so, and it works fine. but when I did the same steps to install a fresh copy of macOS mojave I got this error:
Validation Error Mojave

Validation Error Mojave

error happened oct 1st 2018 on my HP Pavilion G6 1066se

note: I downloaded the macOS mojave mojave installation using the mojave patcher tool from here: http://dosdude1.com/mojave
because I wasn't able to download it from the app store using my previously installed el capitan
(it said that my device was not supported and stopped the download)

here is my build:
  • hp pavilion g6 1066se
  • intel core i5 2450m sandy bridge
  • intel hd3000 graphics
  • amd radeon hd 6470m graphics
  • 8gb ram

Make sure the install_osx partition exists on your USB and is mounted.
And you may need to use the --applicationpath option.

give me the full command I even used the --applicationpath option but didn't work.

You will need to provide details on what you're doing and on what hardware.

hardware is same as in profile(right now running Mojave 10.14)
and I'm trying to create macOS Sierra USB installer.

I request you to try creating macOS Sierra USB installer in Mojave.
 
@RehabMan ok, when I try to download macOS High Sierra or mojave (after changing SMBIOS) it downloads a small 15MB or 19MB installer, how to proceed with the guide from this point?

It works:
Code: 
NUC6i7KYK:~ rehabman$ sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/install_osx
Password:
Ready to start.
To continue we need to erase the volume at /Volumes/install_osx.
If you wish to continue type (Y) then press return: y
Erasing Disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 30%...100%...

I can create Mojave and High Sierra USB installer in macOS 10.14
but can't create macOS Sierra USB installer in Mojave.
