I'm about ready to give up. I had a nice HDD with bootable macOS, but I guess it was too good to be true. It lasted a few days, then I really needed to fall asleep (very tired) and had unsaved work, so I put it on sleep. Power outage overnight. Woo-hoo! So now I can't boot, and I look around the internet for 2 months to try to fix it. Never fixed it. So, I had a SSHD (hybrid, SSD/HHD) by Segate and decided to give up on my WD and went to UniBeast. I typed the boot args I always typed to get to UniBeast
(-v -xcpm cpus=1 -x) and changed my SATA in BIOS and all that jazz. I boot and it boots. Reset disk with disk utility. Now in the installer it fails and says I don't have a mountpoint. I reboot. It goes up to Extracting the BaseSystemResources.pkg and says that is can't connect to systemkeychain.socket. Stays like that and then says Extracting the Essatianals.pkg. Stays like that and later (15 minutes or so) it says assertion timeout, userisactive. I click on the installer and then it says the assertion was created. IT'S BEEN SAYING 15 MINUTES FOREVER. And later, I came to check on it, and it says the insert bootable device error because installation took so long!!! Recovery HD was in clover but no HFS!!!
I'm ready to give up on this, I really am.
