Supported macOS versions

Restore a disk image to a disk using Disk Utility on Mac. You can restore a disk image to a disk. To do this, you first need to erase the disk. If the disk image has multiple partitions, you must restore each partition individually. Restore.dmg containing multiple partitions to bootable USB flash drive I have a.dmg file which was created from a disk consisting of two partitions. When I mount the dmg both partitions pop up, so I know the imaging worked properly.

  • High Sierra 10.13.x
  • Mojave 10.14.x
  • Catalina 10.15.x
  • It'll convert the DMG to an ISO for you. After that, the easiest way I know of to make a bootable USB is using DD. Note: sdX is an example, you will have to check your flash drive address (usually sdb if you have only one hard disk). Do not add a partition # after that (such as sdb1).

For OpenCore EFI installers
Use tribeam.sh script
https://github.com/Broly1/tribeam

GibMacOS + finalflash.sh
Alternativelly if you prefere to use GibMacOS instead of tribeam.shyou can use finalflash.sh script which will use either
the Recovery.pkg or the BaseSystem.dmg, just drop it inside GibMacOS after downloading the desired
version of macOS and run it from there fallowing the prompt.
https://github.com/Broly1/finalflash

For manual instalation read this.

Tools you'll need :

GNOME Disks is a graphical front-end for udisks included in the 'gnome-disk-utility' package.
GParted is a free partition editor for graphically managing your disk partitions.
DMG2IMG comand line tool that allows you to convert a (compressed) Apple Disk Images
gibMacOS - An awesome tool from CorpNewt ( https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS )
A USB drive 8gb+
Some patience..

Get macOS Installer with gibMacOS

Downloading the installer files fairly straight forward process but may take a while depending on your internet speeds.
To start extract gibMacOS and and open your terminal change directory to the gibmacos.command script.
Run it with ./gibMacOS.command
This will allow you to choose the macOS version to download.

In my case I chose option 1. It will download the macOS installer files.
Make sure that BaseSystem.dmg is downloaded completely thats what we will use to create the installer
Once downloaded you can proceed to the next step.

Creating the macOS Install USB

Find BaseSystem.dmg inside /gibMacOS-master/macOS Downloads/publicrelease/
Drag it to your desktop or somewhere else if you prefer.
Open your terminal and change directory to where the BaseSystem.dmg file is in my case:
cd Desktop
Then run dmg2img BaseSystem.dmg base.iso it will convert the the dmg file to iso file named base.iso
Open Disks AKA 'Gnome-Disk-Disk-Utility' and drag base.iso to it and hit start restoring.This will take a wile.

Once it is done restoring the iso open up Gparted and select your usb-drive.

Rigth click in the unallocated space hit new

In File system select fat32 and in lable type EFI

Hit apply

Restore dmg to usb linux windows 10

Once done applying changes righ click on your new EFI partition and hit Manage Flags

Select boot and esp

Now whe need to mount the EFI partition
The easiest way is to open up Disks again and mount it that way

Now you should see an empty EFI partition in your file system

For OpenCore

Download OpenCore-x.x.x-RELEASE.zip
https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases
Extract it and drop OpenCore EFI folder in the EFI partition we just created
and fallow the OpenCore Vanilla Guide.
https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/

For Clover

Download CloverISO-xx.tar.lzma
https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/releases
Extract it then extract the iso as well and copy the EFI folder to the empty EFI partition

Drivers

Now open EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI and all we need there are:
ApfsDriverLoader.efi AptioMemoryFix.efi HFSPlus.efi

Kexts

Now download your kexts here:
https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21APjCyRpzoAKp4xs&id=FE4038DA929BFB23%21455036&cid=FE4038DA929BFB23
Place your kexts in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other
To know what kexts you need check this link:
https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/gathering-kexts

You will also need AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext on Catalina too.

This is how my kexts folder looks like

Os x 10.4 11 dmg. You should have a sample config.plist inside /EFI/CLOVER remove it.
If on amd cpu get your sample config.plist here:
https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla

If on Intel cpu you can get a sample here:
https://github.com/corpnewt/Hackintosh-Guide

Make sure to learn the basics of config.plist
https://github.com/corpnewt/Hackintosh-Guide/blob/master/config.plist-basics.md

This shoud be enough to boot into the installer GOOD Luck!!

How do I create or write to images to disk on Apple Mac OS X (macOS) Unix operating system with dd command?
You can use dd command to:

Restore Dmg To Usb Linux
  1. Create new disk images from USB or SD card
  2. Write images to disk or USB or SD card

You also need to use diskutil command manipulates the structure of local disks including listing and unmouting disks before you create or write images to disk.

Please be careful when running the following commands, as you might destroy important data or disk.

How To Create Disk Image on Mac OS X With dd Command

The procedure is as follows:

  1. Open the Terminal app
  2. Get disk list with the diskutil list
  3. To create the disk image: dd if=/dev/DISK of=image.dd bs=512
  4. To write the disk image: dd if=image.dd of=/dev/DISK

Dmg To Iso

Let us see all commands in details.

Restore Dmg To Usb Linux Windows 7

1. Create disk image with dd command

Open the Terminal application and type the following command to list disks:
$ diskutil list
Sample outputs:
In this example my SD card size is 4GB and located at /dev/disk2.

2. Unmount the disk

Unmount the disk called /dev/disk2:
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
Sample outputs:

3. Create the disk image with dd

Finally create the disk image of the entire disk /dev/disk2:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=backup.my.sdcard-18-oct-2015.img.dd bs=512
OR
$ sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=backup.my.sdcard-18-oct-2015.img.dd bs=1m
OR
$ sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=foo.bar.img.dd bs=64k
Sample outputs:

You can create compressed disk image as follows:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 bs=64K gzip -c > backup.disk.img.dd.gz
Where,

  • dd : Command name
  • if=/dev/disk2 : Input disk name
  • of=backup.my.sdcard-18-oct-2015.img.dd : Output image name
  • bs=64k or bs=1m or bs=512 : Set both input and output block size to n bytes.
  • gzip -c > backup.disk.img.dd.gz : Create compressed disk image using gzip

You can verify your disk with file command:
$ file disk-name-here.img.dd

How do I write dd images to disk again?

The syntax is as follows:
$ diskutil list
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
$ sudo dd if=backup.my.sdcard-18-oct-2015.img.dd of=/dev/disk2
### Restores compressed image and write /dev/disk2 ###
$ sudo sh -c 'gunzip -c backup.disk.img.dd.gz dd of=/dev/disk2'

See dd command man page for more info.

Not a fan of command line?

You can use ‘Disk Utility’ GUI tool to create and restore images. First ‘Open Disk Utility’ by visiting the Applications >Utilities folder:

Choose File > New > Image from “Untitled”. Next, enter a name for the disk image, then choose where to save it:

Etcher app

Etcher is an SD card flasher app that is simple for end users, extensible for developers, and works on any platform including macOS. However, it is written in JS, HTML, node.js and Electron. So if you want to download external and fat app go here. Personally, I recommend and use the CLI or inbuilt apps.
