Hi there! first of all, thanks to all this community for all the great resources and tools!
I have a problem, though.
I'm trying to install High Sierra (downloaded form the App Store) into a ThinkPad X230/i5-3320M. The only way I found to get a succesful installation was connecting the laptop via ethernet, otherwise I would get the "the recovery server could not be reached" message. I messed up my partition and now I have to install it again, but sadly I haven't got a ethernet high speed available (I had to move to a friend's house to install it the first time). I tried other methods, like forwarding my wifi trough my desktop trough it's ethernet to the laptop, but I just can't get a speed enough to not to get a ET of installation < 6hs...
My main doubt it's because, researching the forum, I came up with people with the same problem, solving it by changing the date (my date is ok), and finally, Unibeast 8.3.2 was released allegedly allowing offline installation, but it seems to just not do that. Just to be clear, to get the thing boot in my X230, I'm replacing the whole EFI with a custom one, will be this the source of the problem? and if yes, which file/configuration should I leave on to allow offline installation of macOS High Sierra?
Thanks folks.
