Need An internet Connection to install Big sur And no wifi is available

[Asalerm]

Good day Saad, I have been trying to create a hackingtosh with no success at all, before the tutorial I follow only gets me to where to select reinstall Macos but my Touchpad is not working, I found your own GitHub repo and I downloaded it and use it well there are allot of improvement, my Touchpad works fine now, but it's showing

"Need an internet Connection to install Macos"

In recovery mode, and there is no wifi support available in Big sur recovery mode.

I see that you use Azure as your Ethernet but I have the same laptop but it's not having azure.

Dell latitude E7240 Windows 10 Ethernet 18LM

Please help me sir.

Hey there, Good to see that you've gotten to the recovery screen.

Can you tell me which WiFi card you have in your laptop?

[Asalerm]

Wifi Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Driver version 17.15.0.5

Ethernet Intel(R) 1218LM

Your card is Intel-based. For that, you should check out the Intel WiFi card project (https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm) which is working on making such cards compatible with Hackintosh systems.

It has its own tutorial and kexts.

I'd recommend checking if yours is supported at all, by this project.

If yes, follow their instructions and maybe your WiFi will start working :)

Until then, you should probably use a LAN cable to get ethernet on your device.

Owk, now the Ethernet cable is working but am really confused because I see even 5GB of mobile data is not enough for the recovery mode installer please can you help me with the offline recovery installer.

Because I see others are saying they did it without network support.

[SaadBazaz]

I'm not sure about Mobile Data and how much would be required (if any, even) to install this. You can give it a try and see.

But can I used the normal installer of Big sur12.2GB.dmg instead of base recovery system.dmg in my com.apple.recovery.boot of my bootable flash drive

[SaadBazaz]

I think so. That might be a leftover from my EFI. You can try adjusting stuff on your own end.If anything in the repo needs tweaking, you can make a Pull Request too!On 23 Jun 2022 13:40, Asalerm @.***> wrote: But can I used the normal installer of Big sur12.2GB.dmg instead of base recovery system.dmg in my com.apple.recovery.boot of my bootable flash drive

How did you do this please, because it only support FAT32 and FAT32 can't accommodate files larger than 4GB, but please how did you do it???

[SaadBazaz]

Try using exFAT, maybe? Essentially you should be following the official OpenCore guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ You'll find better help there.
