ERROR: E_FAIL

[Broly1]

What linux distribution are you using and what kernel also what version of macos are you downloading, I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

[ggoraa]

I am downloading Catalina 10.15.7 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 Live USB. Idk about the kernel version

[Broly1]

Strange I use the same disturb recently and it worked fine which script are you trying to use ?but if yoi are in a hurry you can use the manual guide below

[ggoraa]

I am using gibMacOS + finalflash. And yes, ill try the manual guide

[ggoraa]

I tried. Something gone wrong
Opencore does not sees my flash drive, i cant boot from it
What is interesting, that the filesystem detected is Unknown by GParted

[Broly1]

I have similar error when I give the wrong path for that script you can't drag an drop the PKG to the the terminal but the directory containing it, the other scrip tribeam is much simpler it does everything all in one.

[ggoraa]

I'll try tribeam. I think I screwed up the manual tutorial

[ggoraa]

Well, it also failed.

What is also bad, that today i am going to a trip, and I need to fix my hackintosh ASAP, because there will be or no internet, or that bad, that you will download 100MB file for A HALF OF AN OUR. I need to fix it now)

P.S. This is in Ukraine

I have similar error when I give the wrong path for that script you can't drag an drop the PKG to the the terminal but the directory containing it, the other scrip tribeam is much simpler it does everything all in one.

Well, i was talking about the manual guide

[ggoraa]

Wait, the EFI partition needs to be first partition, or not?

[ggoraa]

And i think i know what was the issue with gibMacOS + finalflash. I had no more space left on my USB :)
EDIT: And also with tribeam :)
EDIT2: Nope, that wasnt the issue with tribeam. It still fails there.

[ggoraa]

Please paste the recovery pkg path to extract:macOS-Downloads/publicrelease/catalina 
extracting RecoveryHDMetaDmg.pkg...
ERROR: Data Error : RecoveryHDMeta.dmg

Are you kidding me? Why is everything failing?)

[ggoraa]

I tried to combine Dortania's guide and your's. Now GParted sees that macOS partition is HFS+. Now we need to paste our EFI, change the flags, and i will try :)

UPDATE: Nope, it has not worked.
And yes, what is the error with tribeam, why does it stop flashing?

[Broly1]

the issue with tribeam seems to be a dd command issue, try manually formatting the usb drive before running the script.

[ggoraa]

okay, ill try
I will send an update when im finished

[Broly1]

I've successfully made the installer

[ggoraa]

Hmm
Idk why it works on your machine, bu on mine it is broken. Anyways, I haven't needed USB installer, I just needed to update OpenCore to 0.6.3 nightly build XD
