Easy Way to Create a USB Installer on Linux (Can use Live USB)

• Fetch some tools

mkdir fetch-macOS
cd fetch-macOS
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/master/fetch-macOS-v2.py
wget https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM/raw/master/tools/dmg2img
chmod +x *

• Fetch macOS recovery image

./fetch-macOS-v2.py

• Convert dmg to raw img

./dmg2img BaseSystem.dmg BaseSystem.img

• Write to USB

sudo dd if=BaseSystem.img of=/dev/sdX bs=100M conv=fsync status=progress

*Remember sdX is your USB flashdrive device, don't make a mistake or it will destroy your data, use sudo fdisk -l to see all list of storage devices

To create a USB installer on Windows or other OS please refer to Dortania OpenCore Install Guide.

Fetch and Place EFI File

• Fetch EFI

git clone https://github.com/abdul-royyaq/OC-ASRock-H610M-HDV-M.2 --depth 1 

• Make EFI partiton

*In some case, EFI partition isn't available.

sudo parted /dev/sdX mkpart efi 0% 100%

*Remember sdX is your USB flashdrive device, don't make a mistake or it will destroy your data, use sudo fdisk -l to see all list of storage devices.

sudo mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sdXY -n EFI-USB

*Remember sdXY is your EFI partion of USB installer, use sudo fdisk -l to see all list of storage devices.

• Mount EFI and copy to EFI Partition

sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
sudo cp -r OC-ASRock-H610M-HDV-M.2/EFI /mnt

*Remember sdXY is your EFI partion of USB installer, use sudo fdisk -l to see all list of storage devices.

For more information please refer to Dortania OpenCore Install Guide.

Installation

For the installation process please refer to Dortania OpenCore Install Guide.

*Take a note, please create a EFI partition at lease 200M at partitioning stage.

Post-Installation

Install EFI on macOS HDD/SSD.

• Mount EFI partition

Open macOS Terminal and run

sudo mkdir /Volumes/EFI
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/diskXsY /Volumes/EFI

*Remember diskXsY is your EFI disk partiton, use sudo diskutil list to see all list of storage devices

• Copy EFI folder to EFI Partition

sudo cp -rv /Volumes/EFI-USB/EFI /Volumes/EFI
sudo umount /Volumes/EFI
sudo rm -r /Volumes/EFI

Have problems after installation?, please refer to Dortania OpenCore Post-install.

Important Notes

• This EFI comes with a memory mapping template for ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2, you can change according to your memory module configuration e.g Manufacture, PartNumber, SerialNumber, Size, and Speed.

• CpuTopologyRebuild.kext is disabled by default, you don't need this if you are using a P-Core only CPU e.g i3-12100/F, this also makes the type 2 hypervisor e.g VirtualBox detect that there are only 2 CPU cores.

• Don't change MinKernel variable to 21.x or later, this will make your macOS unable to wake up from sleep.

• Please generate new SN and MLB if getting trouble with iServices.
