Download Mac Os Mojave Vmdk File

Hi, I'm not really understanding how to install clover. When I turn EFI off and put in the commands in the command line, it shows a fatal error so I can't even open the vm to install clover efi. Any help?
EDIT: I've just followed above tutorial for HighSierra from scratch and gone as far as doing the accepting the agreement and then turning off on MACH Reboot message. I've unmounted the BaseSystem.vmdk, started machine again and all I get is black screen. Been hanging like that for few minutes right now, with no feedback at all. What could have possibly gone wrong?
Legacy Clover no longer works in VirtualBox 5.1.x and VirtualBox 5.2.x (causes red screen error). Need to install in UEFI mode only and press , select "EFI Hard Drive" from Boot Manager to start VM with Clover.
As of the time of writing my guide, VirtualBox does not have the code to find "\macOS Install Data\Locked Files\Boot Files\boot.efi", which is the DATA structure used to natively update/install macOS Sierra and High Sierra. For the second installation phase to continue, you will either need to boot to Clover as described in step10, post#75,
EDIT: I've just tried UEFI shell, it works but for some reason it erases command I type in random fashion. Like I start typing something and then the cursor gets moved to the beginning of the line and I'm inserting text over.
Tried putting in commands until I finally managed changing directory to the one with boot.efi file and run it from there. It worked and now I'm installing macOS. I'm really puzzled why UEFI shell behaves like this.
When I try, I'm getting "Error: could not get license agreement." I initially thought this could be because I was behind a proxy, but when I tried with a direct Internet connection, I'm getting the same.
4. At the end of the process, you will have a macOS.iso on your desktop - copy this onto an exFAT formatted USB for use on the PC Host later.
5. Attach macOS.iso and supplied macOS_apfs.vmdk (preformatted blank 50GB apfs volume with Clover r4699 installed in EFI) to the Virtual Machine and proceed to run the installation.
Select Reinstall macOS, choosing the macOS volume as the target ---> install files will be placed in /Volumes/macOS/macOS Install Data ---> System will reboot.
2) Power off the VM when you see the message "MACH Reboot". Then go to the VM Storage settings to detach the macOS.iso (since it is no longer required).
3) Power on the VM again and you will be greeted with the Clover Main Menu ---> select "Boot macOS Install Prebooter from Preboot" + press ---> will see "Installing on "macOS"" and time remaining, as the pkg files are extracted to their final locations ---> Power off the VM when you see the message "MACH Reboot"...
4) Power on the VM a final time to finish installation and setup. At the Clover Main Menu, select "Boot FileVault Prebooter from Preboot" + press ---> rebuild kext caches and setup new user account...
The startosinstall.command script seems to work fine, but after the reboot, I get this screen saying the installer ressources were not found. The macOS.vmdk at this point is 5.18GB, so the files seem to have been copied. Is there any way to figure out exactly what file I am missing to begin the install process? When I open the macOS.vmdk in 7zip, I see 2 files: 1.hfsx and EFI System Partition.img
5) Boot your VM to the macOS Utilities screen. Attach the usb (named "USB" and containing the \SharedSupport folder) to the VM and open Disk Utility, show all devices ---> will see blank 50GB drive for installation, 2GB "OS X Base System" and the USB volume "USB"
The startosinstall.command script builds the full "Install macOS ******.app" and chain loads the startosinstall utility on the "macOS" target volume. It combines both the "small" installer app (approx 15MB in size on "OS X Base System") and the SharedSupport folder from the NTFS volume (mounted on /Volumes/USB). Note the full installer app is >5GB in size
Hashes were good except Info.plist. It is good with yours now. I did retry only with the new Info.plist, but same result: Installer falied with com.apple.osinstall error -3. Then Installer files were not found.
With this new Clover version and macOS_apfs.vmdk, the VM boots to Clover, but when I press enter to boot macOS, it goes directly to the VBox Boot manager. I select continue, then the window resizes smaller and I get a blank screen.
1. Force using VoodooHDA (with disabled AppleHDA for sure) Audio in-out is working, but VirtualBox quit unexpectedly while changing Volume level or when getting Notif sound. Oh yeah, I'm using 10.11.6 as Host mach. I hope not posting on a wrong thread.
When I modified the screen resolution through the mentioned command, things look ok, unlike Lian's situation, but the resolution was not right, so I set the resolution, which was 1920x1080 in the Clover config file, and it starts to boot up normally.
The other thing that I encountered is that I cannot gracefully reboot the VM, either through the GUI or terminal emulator. It gets stuck at Mach Reboot and will not go anywhere, which means updates are next to impossible.
For questions 1-3, these are unfortunately unresolved issues/bugs with VirtualBox itself. Native audio in Mojave doesn't work at present (never tried with VoodooHDA inside VM), VirtualBox BIOS does not remember previously "saved" settings and NVRAM is also non functional (these maybe related). Ofc, AptioMemoryFix driver would be useless since the BIOS is not Aptio ...
If you want a "smoother" experience with native sound and working NVRAM, better to try running Mojave in VMware patched with @Donk's unlocker program. Installing VMware tools also improves graphics performance and allows dynamic resizing of the VM window (unlike VirtualBox which doesn't provide macOS guest tools at all).
A short post here that might help somebody struggling to install the latest MacOS in VirtualBox on Linux. Im running VirtualBox 5.2.10 on X86_64 Linux. The process below can be replicated on Windows as well, but the networking part at the end will of course be different.
The article I have written is about how to setup the networking for VirtualBox in Linux. For Windows VirtualBox just use basic NAT network in the VirtualBox Network config menu and let choose DHCP in your MacOS network config.
What I mean on 64bit Linux the MacOS ISO should get to the MacOS boot even without any tweaking in the VirtualBox settings. So there seems to be something wrong in your environment if the ISO load gets stuck in the pre-MacOS stage (efi)
Thanks for the links. Downloaded your vbox image file and tried to run the utility and load your AppleHDA.kext, ran under root the kextutil /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext, reboot works now, but no sound device visible. What Audio Device do you emulate ? Im using PulseAudio and ICH AC97
Now I did everything here on Windows 7, but when I start the Vbox, it stucks at primary loading, and I cant do anything afterwards. I have attached a screenshot would you please help me here?
Its frustrating really.
just tried to follow this guide.
Downloaded the zip and tried to use the vbox adiofix.vmdk file in a new created virtual machine.
i did that just the same as i followed the guide for high sierra.
this wont start up and gives me some text ending with shell:
In order to proceed with this you will need an external hard drive or USB drive with at least 20 GB of space available on it. This is because you will be installing MacOS onto an external drive and booting your Mac from it. The faster this storage, the better! USB 3.1 (and USB C) and Thunderbolt drives will work best.
Click Install and you will be prompted to enter your password in order to install a helper. Enter your password and click Add Helper and the installation will begin. Once the first part of the install is done your Mac will reboot and continue installing. Allow this process to complete.
All steps in this part of the guide need to be done from your new MacOS install running from your external storage. If you need to return to your regular MacOS install simply restart your Mac and remove the external storage from your Mac.
The first step is to download and install VirtualBox. There is nothing special about the installation so just follow the wizard through without changing any of the options. You also need to transfer your copy of SpinRite to the new MacOS install (you need the ISO, read the first section in Part 1 of this series for details on getting that).
