[Guide] Booting The USB Installer Using OpenCore

I have HP Zbook G4 and I got stuck at the same place. Tried different combinations but none of them have helped. I have been trying for the last one month and no success yet.

Lspci from zbook G4

Post 1 has been updated with latest OpenCore 0.7.8 and updated kexts
 
hi,

i cant get usb to work, what i need to do?
 
Once you have Catalina installed and the above USBPorts.kext correctly configured, then you can update to latest OpenCore and kexts and then upgrade to Big Sur or Monterey

Thanks for this guide.

Tried to follow it, along side the info from dortanias guide to make a osx 12.4 complete fresh new clean install usb and zero installed system. fail.


Laptop Configurations

Important


For HP user's, you must set the following to true in your config.plist:
LapicKernelPanic
UnblockFsConnect



Haswell
Device Properties - Add - PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)
AAPL,ig-platform-id -> 0500260A (for HD5000, HD5100 and HD5200)
AAPL,ig-platform-id -> 0600260A (for HD4200, HD4400 and HD4600)

for osx 12.4, best to change to MacBookPro11,4 or newer including 12,1 etc.

test installs on hold. not sure if dortania's opencore guide needs to be updated at the time

tested with opencore 0.7.8, and osx 12.4,

then again with opencore 0.8.0 and osx 12.4 , both failed to boot.

Hi there.

You need an Internet connection if you are using the Recovery installer rather than the Full one.

If you download the full installer from either the App Store or Apple's support web-site then you have the complete version which is standalone and does not require an Internet connection.

So basically ... How did you get the macOS installer?

:)
 
I tryed follow the steps ...
1- I have installed pyton on my windows.
2- After installing Python, we will be using gibMacOS. A nice handy tool that can create your USB installer using Windows or a Mac machine. Head over to https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS and click the green "Clone or download" button and then choose Download as Zip.
3- Open up the gibMacOS-master folder and find gibMacOS batch file, right click and Run As Administrator
4- We will be downloading the Recovery, so press r ...
5- Now, this is important, we will be needing to find the latest Catalina that ends with FULL install

yes, as mentioned, this is a recovery method of installing, you need a working wifi or lan so the installer can access the internet to download the operating system during installation :)
