If you have NOT previously installed High Sierra, you can download and install this package to install the latest BootROM version. When installing, ensure your system is plugged in to power, or the update will not be installed. Insert your desired USB drive, open Disk Utility, and format it as OS X. Also, for some reason the card doesn't scan networks on a cold boot. I have to boot into Windows/Linux and do a warm reboot from Windows/Linux into OS X to have working wifi. Update: Fixed 2.4 Ghz freezing. Just had to change country code from JP to FCC.

Years ago I wrote a post for installing Mac OS Yosemite on Virtual Box. A new version of Mac OS X with code name Sierra has been just published therefore I would like to update my post for installing this new version on Virtual Box with the host of Windows 10.

1. Download pre-installed VirtualBox image from following link.
Mirror 1:

Mirror 2:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B52GrzXI5cXhYjduY0V0N0NENW8
For mirror 2, use HjSplit to join the files back. It’s about 5GB. HjSplit is also in Google Drive folder.

2. Extract macOS 10.12 Sierra by TechReviews.rar file to a folder, you’ll get a list of these files

3. In VirtualBox, create a new machine with following settings

4. For Hard drive, browse to macOS 10.12 Sierra by TechReviews.rar file which can be found in extract folder before.

5. Click Create. Right click on the new machine and select Settings. Be sure that Floppy Disk is disabled.

6. Set number of processors to the max of real processors you have, it’ll speed up the installation. I have a dual core so I set the number of processors to 2.

7. In Display settings, set Video Memory to max 128MB.

7+. Start your cmd and execute following code. Please adjust the script with your installation path of your VirtualBox and the name of your virtual machine (in my case it is macOS Sierra)

8. Start your machine. It will take a while depending on the power of your real CPU and hard disk to set up the installation process.

9. When boot finishes, you should land on the welcome screen for setting up Mac OS X. The following images show my sample settings, you can change them if you want.

10. Create account takes a while. Just wait until you’re forwarded to the login screen.

11. Login with your new created account. You’ll be asked for some more settings before going to the main screen of Mac OS X.

12. Done. Enjoy your hackintosh.

These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.

What you need to create a bootable installer

  • A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14GB of available storage
  • A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, or El Capitan

Download macOS

  • Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, or macOS High Sierra
    These download to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.
  • Download: OS X El Capitan
    This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal

  1. Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
  2. Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
  3. Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume.

High Sierra:* Imvu indir mac.

El Capitan:

* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath argument and installer path, similar to the way this is done in the command for El Capitan.


After typing the command:

  1. Press Return to enter the command.
  2. When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
  3. When prompted, type Y to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased.
  4. After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
  5. When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
