I just then cloned it to my ssd connected as USB external device (using carbon copy cloner). So I installed it to the virtual storage of the virtual machine, that worked.

Again I got a reboot after 12 minutes and the install didn't finish.

I successfully started the big sur installer, from my virtual machine, and started the install to my ssd connected via usb.

So I tried the VMWare solution on a pc, by patching a vmware workstation install with "VMWare unlocker Mac OS X" (available on github, for vmware workstation on windows or linux). I tried to install big sur, on my ssd connected as an external usb via an adapter, from my macbook pro.īut it's to old to manage the new big sur install, and I had a verbose freaky message "Plateform not supported" :-O Hi, just to share, maybe it'll help someone having the same issue. Hope OpenCore will fix this before the next macOS update. But while quite cumbersome, it's manageable.

I might have to reattach my SSD back to my Macbook externally to apply any macOS update in the future if there's any. Using this method might not be the best experience. Since this doesn't affect anything like iMessage etc., I also don't care about this. I don't really care about this as I usually watch Netflix using a custom extension made for Microsoft Edge (to get 1080p).Ģ. VDA decoder works but Netflix won't allow me to watch the movie. Everything including iCloud drive sync, audio, sleep, ethernet, wifi, bluetooth, airdrop etc. Then, I connect back my SSD via SATA to my PC.ġ. Then, I shut it down and detach the SDD from my external enclosure. After logging in to the desktop, I mount the EFI partition and copy my EFI folder that I used to install Catalina previously. I didn't login my iCloud yet at this point though.ĥ. After installation finished, I booted the external SSD using my Macbook Pro and continue creating user account. I grabbed my external HDD enclosure, connect my SSD to it and start installing Big Sur to my SSD (which is now connected externally via that HDD enclosure) by clicking on the downloaded Install macOS Big Sur.app. Luckily, I have a real Macbook Pro (mid 2014). But when it tries to go for its first reboot to finish the installation, the same thing happen - I got into a boot loop of misery.ģ. The installation went well since its not crashing (or so I thought). After Catalina got installed, I try to do a direct upgrade to Big Sur from within Catalina. This made me realized that the problem with Big Sur is exactly at when it tries to reboot the installer for the first time.Ģ. There's a few reboot after that but that's normal since the progress bar keeps going to its end.

However, in Catalina, the 2nd reboot succeeded and the installer continued its progress. While I was trying to install Catalina using OpenCore 0.6.3 (the same one I used to install Big Sur), I had the same issue. I found this out when I was about to give up and decided to go back to Catalina. What I thought to be "installer crashing" at 12 minutes mark turns to be a non issue. I finally made it to Big Sur after more than 30 hours of bathing in blood and sweat fiddling around to achieve it.ġ. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
