Installation Help

[eldinesh]

Sir, i ran into an error and my pendrive almost bricked. I'm using 32gigs pendrive with transmac. And in it's initial step of formating it got an error. Transmac give me formating error. After that I'm unable to access it. It's showing. Ut unable to mount it. And it shows read only file system. I'm using Ubuntu and i have tried all tools like fdisk, fsch and every disk utility. But unable to solve it. Please help me.

Dinesh, please call me Siam. I am not familiar with making macOS bootable USB using the Linux system. But I used TransMac application in Windows 10. I will say TransMac is garbage software. Complete waste of time.

1. First, install macOS in a virtual machine example VirtualBox.
2. Then use that virtual macOS to make a Bootable USB.

[md-siam]

The process of making a bootable macOS USB is added to the documentation: https://github.com/md-siam/Hackintosh_EliteBook_Folio_9470m

[eldinesh]

Ok Siam. I made bootable in Window also. But got an error when that soft formatting Pendrive and after that, it's like bricked. I can't mount it. Now It's read-only. If you about this, how to fix this issue then lemme know. Well as you installed Mac on Elitebook Folio. How was your experience with that? I'm gonna install it for development purposes.

[md-siam]

macOS Mojave runs smoothly into Elitebook Folio.

[md-siam]

Making a vanilla bootable USB is very important for macOS installation. That's why I am suggesting you to use VirtualBox to make bootable USB. If you have access to an original mac then use that.

[eldinesh]

I don't have access to a mac. I'll make vanilla bootable by VirtualBox.Thanks for your help and be active on your YT channel. It's really helpful. Make new videos on this topic

[md-siam]

Dinesh, the Hackintosh community does not want to share their EFI files. Because it is really a time-consuming process to develop a perfect Hackintosh system. Since I am a software developer, I will say it worth the extra time. Mojave OS is really fast in Folio.

[md-siam]

Can you run macOS from VirtualBox?

[md-siam]

Watch this video to know about how to share a folder in VirtualBox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-teQnZ8LEY

[md-siam]

Upgrade your ElitBook BIOS to "68IBD Ver. F.73" otherwise that EFI folder is completely useless

[eldinesh]

Yes, I can use macOS In Virtualbox. but external USB not showing in it. And hOw to upgrade BIOS to "68IBD Ver. F.73". Provide link please.

[md-siam]

[md-siam]

(18G103) has some problems in making bootable USB. So, download macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G95)

[eldinesh]

Everything is completed bro. But unable to mount my usb edi partition in Clover. It's just showing internal efi for mount. There is no option to Mount external efi.

[eldinesh]

Bro this is last step plzz help. There is no option to mount usb efi. There is only for internal efi.

[md-siam]

Download Clover Configurator from https://filetransfer.io/data-package/M4S4vx2Q use it to mount EFI of your Pendrive, and replace any EFI folder there. and replace it with my EFI.

[md-siam]

By the way, did you make Bootable USB yet?

[eldinesh]

I made bootable via terminal

[eldinesh]

I tried without changing efi file. Coz i was unable to change efi.and when i try to boot in uefi. I'm unable to do it.

[eldinesh]

[eldinesh]

I downloaded clover from macupdater.com but now downloading from your link. bro be online please.

[eldinesh]

[eldinesh]

Same issue. Bro message me on telegram. I'll send pic of error.

[eldinesh]

Plzzzz

[md-siam]

Yes, I am here.

[md-siam]

I made a small tutorial video: https://filetransfer.io/data-package/IbnPc9Wa

[md-siam]

Steps:

1. Check whether you have mounted the USB Pendrive into the VirtualBox.
2. If you made a successful bootable pendrive then you will see a file name "Install macOS Mojave" inside the pendrive.
3. Start clover configurator to mount the "EFI" partition of the pendrive.
4. Extract my EFI zip file, and copy the folder into that EFI partition.

[md-siam]

[md-siam]

Make sure that your "UEFI Native" Boot Mode is enabled in BIOS

[eldinesh]

Bro i watched your video. Everything is working. Usb mounted. Install macos Mojave also present in USB. But when i open clover there is not option for Install Macos Mojave efi to mount. And in Clover above that i can see my usb connected in clover.

[eldinesh]

Is there any other option to mount efi and Change it. Or can we change it on window by any other software

[eldinesh]

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/usb-install-stick-does-not-show-up-in-clover-configurator.294779/

I'm trying the solution on this. Hope it'll work.

[eldinesh]

I got that. The main problem is due to partition scheme. I format it to GUID partition and again made bootable then it mounted. There was no file in efi. So i pasted your efi folder in it. And when i booted. I got this in clover. There is no option for macos install.

[eldinesh]

Why there os no macos install option in Clover?

[eldinesh]

????

[eldinesh]

Everything done completely. Booted and working. But i have a question. Can i use internet via USB tethering coz I'm on Intel wifi card and internet not working. And one more, Laptop takes around 8 or 10 minute to boot macos.

[md-siam]
