Create a MacOS Big Sur bootable USB. You can do this on a real Mac
- Go into the app store and search for macOS Big Sur, once downloaded you can find the Installer.app inside Applications folder.
- Earse the USB by using Disk Utility and rename the USB to MyVolume
- Create bootable USB by using this command: sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume
-
Mount the EFI-partition of the "Install macOS Big Sur" disk.
- You can do this using the Terminal with the following commands:
- diskutil list
- Once you have found the disk for example disk0s1 runt the following command to mount the EFI partition:
- sudo diskutil mount disk0s1
- Enter the password and the EFI partition should be mounted
-
Delete all folders and then copy my EFI folder to the root of the EFI-partition
-
Go to EFI/OC and open the config.plist with a plist Editor (You can use PlistEditor Pro use google for this)
-
Once the config.plist is open navigate to PlatformInfo/Generic and paste your serials for MLB, SystemSerialNumber and SystemUUID. (you can use CorpNewt's GenSMBIOS)
-
Boot from the bootable USB and install macOS.
-
Once macOS is installed you can copy the EFI folder to the EFI partition of the internal SSD/HDD
