After creating the partition on a new USB drive, I cannot complete the Unibeast process. I keep getting the error: Couldn't mount install ESD.
Any suggestions? I am using the 5.0.0 Unibeast, have Install Yosemite in my applications folder. I have installed Mavericks several times using same procedure with no problems using Unibeast. My board is a GA-Z68XP-UD3
 
try mounting the installer then running unibeast
 
I've got this same problem. I thought that InstallESD.dmg was somehow corrupted, so I ran hdiutil verify on it and here is the output.

Code:
Sris-iMac:~ harsha$ hdiutil verify /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg
Checksumming Driver Descriptor Map (DDM : 0)…

Sris-iMac:~ harsha$
Obviously the disk image is corrupt. Is there any way to fix this other than re-downloading? (Waited 2-days for the download, really slow internet)
 
The problem in my case was my DLink Router. It was corrupted somehow. I replaced it and the download went fine. It also addressed the slow network speed, I downloaded the installer in just 2 hours.
