Hi everybody, in todays Hackintosh tutorial I will show you, how to create a macOS Mojave
USB Installer.
If you don’t have access to any Mac computer, then follow my tutorial for Windows users
how to install macOS Mojave Hackintosh - link to this video is now on top right corner.
We need to download the macOS Mojave installer first.
Go to your AppStore, Mojave installer will be in the Featured section, or you can simply
search for Mojave on top right corner.
Here click on the download button.
It will take about 5-6 minutes depending on your internet speed.
I’ve speeded up the process now.
Once it’s downloaded the macOS Mojave installer will open.
We don’t want to install it now, we want to just create an USB installer, so quit this
installer application and close the AppStore too, we don’t need it anymore.
Apple prepared for us official information how to create the installer on their support
page, so just navigate in Safari or other browser to this link (I will post it in video
description).
Here you have instructions for creating USB installer for Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra
or El Capitan.
The process is for all of them the same.
It assumes you already have downloaded the installer package from the AppStore as we
did it.
This installer is now in your Applications folder, here it is.
We will use now this single command in Terminal application, so just copy it to clipboard,
in your Applications folder navigate to Utilities folder and open Terminal application and just
paste the command into it.
And here stop, don’t hit Enter now.
We need to prepare our USB flash disk first.
Connect any 8GB or larger flash drive to your computer now.
Open Disk Utility via Spotlight or navigate again to Applications and Utilities folder
and open Disk Utility.
On the left click on your flash disk and on top click on Erase.
Now write name for this disk, I choose for example INSTALLER.
And click on Erase.
Quit Disk Utility.
And the last step is to just rewrite Apple’s adviced disk name in the command which was
“MyVolume” to our “INSTALLER”.
Hit Enter, write your Mac password a now hit “Y” to continue and hit Enter again.
This command will now run and create the macOS Mojave USB installer.
This will take really a long time, so just relax, take a coffee, tee or beer :) and wait
until it’s done.
In my case it took with USB 2 disk about 20 minutes so I’ve speeded up it for you.
And thats it, your macOS Mojave USB flash disk installer is sucessfully created.
At this point only Mac users are able to boot from this USB disk.
Hackintosh users must do one more step.
We need to install a boot loader.
Go back to your browser and Google for “Clover boot loader”.
Click on Download.
Once downloaded, double click to unzip it.
And here we have the latest version of clover Bootloader.
Run the .pkg installer now.
If you get warning like me that it can’t be open just right click on the installer
and select open.
It will bypass the system check.
Click twice continue.
And here stop.
We want to install boatloder to our USB disk, but it’s set to my system disk.
So click on Change Install Location and select your USB Mojave Installer disk.
Click on Continue and now click Customize.
If you have UEFI capable motherboard, then click first two options - Clover for UEFI booting
only and Install Clover in the ESP.
That will install this boot loader onto hidden EFI partition.
In UEFI drivers you will need to check APFS driver.
The other options depends on your specific hardware.
You may need EmuVariable and OsXAptioFix 3 or 2.
It really depends on what current hardware you have in your computer.
There is no “one settings fits all”.
In my next series videos I will include whole Clover folder for each build, tested and 100%
working on specific hardware, so you can download it and replace your folder with mine.
Once again be sure you are installing the boot loader on the correct disk and then on
bottom right click on Install.
Write in your macOS account password and hit Enter.
Congratulations.
You have now created USB macOS Mojave Installer from which you can boot your Hackintosh and
install Mojave.
If you will have some problems during the installation, then you will have to probably
change your Clover config.plist or add/remove some of the kernel extensions in your Clover
Folder you just created on your USB installer.
Again, it really depends on your specific hardware.
So what is working for one computer must not work for other and will need some tweaks.
Thats why I in my next video series list all detailed hardware parts I tested and include
Clover folder tweaked for this particular config.
So in ideal situation if you plan to buy new computer, just buy the hardware components
I recommend and have tested and just use my working Clover folder included in my videos.
So stay tuned, subscribe to my channel, so you will have access to it.
Thank you for watching a maybe see you next time.
