Bootable USB Installers for OS X Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, and Sierra. First, review this introductory article: Create a bootable installer for macOS. Second, see this How To outline for creating a bootable El Capitan installer. Simply replace the Terminal command with the one from the preceding article by copying it into the Terminal. Install Yosemite Server Backup and the Bare Metal Disaster Recovery option on each computer that will use disaster recovery. Create a full backup of your system. Create the bootable media. It is good practice to create two sets of bootable media in the event the first set fails during disaster recovery. You can use an external drive or secondary volume as a startup disk from which to install the Mac operating system. Step 1: Obtain the Yosemite Developer Preview Installer. Download the OS X Yosemite Developer Preview installer from the Mac App Store. This will put a file called Install OS X 10.10 Developer Preview.app in your /Applications folder. It will also launch the Yosemite installer app when the download completes. Quit the app by pressing Command+Q. Enter the create partition primary command and press Enter to complete the process. Once you formatted the USB flash drive with a GPT partition, you can use the instructions mentioned above to use TransMac to create a bootable media, but this time skip steps No. 5 through 10 and continue on step 11.
When making a Hackintosh or a HackBook, one of the things that you need to learn to do is how to create install media for macOS. If not, you will have to rely on someone else to make one for you with the bootloader baked in if you do not have access to Apple hardware.
If that is your only option, when setting up and in post-installation, do not sign into any online account. Instead, make the drive bootable and then restart into the Recovery and wipe the OS partition and reinstall macOS using the Internet recovery feature so that you get a clean version directly from Apple and when that is done, use the below invocations to create a malware-free USB for a local reinstall. Since Apple assigns SSL Certificates on the installers, you will need to use the release date fix to install.
Note: “–applicationpath” will be deprecated in macOS 10.14 and greater.
