[solved] "macOS could not be installed on your computer" Error on fresh install

[RehabMan]

I tried all those options. When I use AptioMemoryFix-64.efi I can't get into the installer, it shows a forbidden sign in place of the apple logo.

Probably a USB issue. Must try all USB ports. Make sure you're using a USB2 flash drive (as written in the guide).

I downloaded the macOS installer from the Mac App Store using another hackintosh install which I have in another HDD. It is Yosemite 10.10.3, and it is the same hardware. But I had to follow this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...cted-mac-os-x-installer-is-incomplete.249330/ in order to obtain the complete installer.

Re-download full installer with up-to-date Yosemite.

By trying all USB ports, do you mean on the USB installer creation or on the installation itself?

Yes, I'm using a USB2 flash drive. I even tried creating the installer using another SSD as secondary drive and booting from there. Same result.

Re-download full installer with up-to-date Yosemite.

I don't want to risk damaging my other hackintosh installation by updating it. I know that it could get some kernel panic problems. I think what I will do is borrow an actual MacBook and create the installer from there and try with it.

Also I want to test by using an HDD as a target disk as @harmeet said and see if the process can be completed with it.

When booting the installer from USB.
It is possible/quite likely that some ports work, others don't.
Full USB port configuration is a post-install task (see FAQ for links).

I don't want to risk damaging my other hackintosh installation by updating it.

If your setup is correct, you should be able to run latest Yosemite.

I was able to update my other hackintosh installation to Yosemite 10.10.5. But when I try to download macOS Mojave from the Mac App Store I get only the 22.8MB installer.

Make sure all patches are applied. Make sure Clover is up-to-date. Make sure you're letting most of the settings in config.plist/SMBIOS to Clover defaults.

I was able to download the full installer using this guide: http://osxdaily.com/2018/09/29/download-full-macos-mojave-installer/
and with this I created the USB installer again. I was able to go through the whole installation without any problem. Now to post-installation.

@RehabMan Thank you for your help! I know that the process of downloading the macOS installer is not part of your guide, but I think it would be good if you include some advice of avoiding recreating the full installer with this guide as I did. So that others don't fall into this.
