Cannot create High Sierra installation drive

[beber998]

Hello,

I'm trying, without success, to create a USB drive to install MacOS High Sierra.

For this I'm using Unibeast 8.4.0 on a Mac Mini 2011 Intel core i5 running High Sierra itself.

Unibeast does not finish, it does not go further than "installing bootloader" or sometimes even "copying installer files".

The USB drive is 16 GB, formatted in GPT (but MBR gives the same negative result).

I selected "Legacy" (but UEFI gives the same negative result) and "ATI injection".

In the Console, it goes like this:

11/05/20 14:26:34 - Starting UniBeast 8.4.0-2

11/05/20 14:27:39 - Copying Files...

11/05/20 14:46:20 - Installing Bootloader...installer
11/05/20 14:46:20 - Copying installer files to disk...
Copy complete.
Making disk bootable...
Copying boot files...
Copy complete.
Done.
msg --- Installing Bootloader...installer --- installer: Error trying to locate volume at /Volumes/Install macOS High Sierra
err --- Couldn't install Bootloader


I even disabled SIP to see if that would make a difference, but no.

Any suggestion ?

Thank you in advance.

OK I erased my copy of macOS High Sierra installer and re-downloaded it from the App store (thank you for sending me the link).

I also ejected the external hard drive (because of item 19 of the checklist in the post above).

And I did another attempt with:
- GUID formatting
- legacy boot
- ATI injection

Same result. Unibeast does not progress once it is "Installing Bootlader...".

Here are the logs:

I checked the list in the post above and, among the 19 first items, I really cannot see what I did wrong.

So I'm reporting now, as in item 20... Is there anything wrong with the report ?

Should I try another version of Unibeast ?
