Seams that Burning Double Layer DVD will do the install.
It will definitely not.

Actually, if you restore the downloaded DMG to a dual layer DVD... I would expect that to work, no? I'm not sure why you'd do that instead of using a USB drive, but shouldn't it be the same thing?

Do DVDs not work Startergo?

But @macnavarra I really don't understand what problem you're trying to solve. If you explained what the issue is maybe we could help you.
 
With USB in place the asr restore fails with OSStatus = 22. If I manually do it with Disk Utility and drag the ESD over for restore I get

Validating sizes...
Could not validate sizes - Operation not permitted
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 1.)

I can't win. Host machine is running Big Sur (11.7.10). I need to go dig up some CD/DVD RW and try that route otherwise any advice on why it fails with USB?
 
How large is the USB? Do you have a different one you could try?
32 GB. I went ahead and tried High Sierra instead following Apple's

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

I renamed my USB to MyVolume. This completed successfully. 🤷‍♀️ Macbook is now running High Sierra. Maverick is a real conundrum.
 
I messed up my Open core Sonoma installation yesterday (MBP 15" mid 2014) and was greeted to new OS version without any 3rd party apps, albeit my data in Documents/Pictures/Music/Downloads was still there.

Decided to back it up and start Internet recovery, which surprisingly called OS X 10.9. I'll try to make a clean install but was wondering if someone has any tips how to capture my network logs to catch the App store address from where the recovery partition will be downloading the image? Have raspberry pi (for pihole) and M4 MBP to work with.

Not to hijack the thread, feel free to send me a PM 🙏🏻

Welcome to Mavericks! (Soon, anyway.)

Thanks for the offer but I don't think this will help. We know where the app store downloads from†, what we don't know is the encryption key.

@R2FX Internet recovery doesn't download from MAS, we already recreated how it works and can successfully download 10.9 just as internet recovery would, see the very first post.

For app store it's a fixed encryption key probably but the decryption method likely involves some custom shareplay stuff that would be annoying to reproduce elsewhere.
 
hey dude, .. how do I get your script to work on Lion ..?! (I mean, I got the Maverick's to load the other day, but Apple was hassling me - since I complained about a graphics card - Early 2008 iMac, with a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS!) [I wonder if you could help further..] get back, .. thanks! 🙂 | been hearing either wow or the rufus programmer, all hush.. (holla if you can) | did you try UTF-8 to Hex that Rom, ..?!

talk me around this Rom (3234) generator, .. revision ..?! gives the firmware, but that seems longer than your string.. and as for the board-id is simple enough (Mac-F227BEC8) on a iMac 8,1 model A1225.. *the Serial number is that turns up a longer string to the end of 80 spaces on terminal.. (how do I go about in a gist, the sha256 ..?!) [the file CRC32 is simple enough, I can read Tamil natively, so it's old Roman with Tamil numbers and Latin letters!] **where is the 64, if any base used - else, how do I convert this hex to binary to hex and send a stream swap, to communicate with OSRecovery.apple ..?! #without leaky tunnels.. | how about a form field generator, like the pages leading up to 6 on this thread ..?!

I was wondering, how do I -nobrowse a folder, or compound the day's activity, to folder's to form logarithm - on each exit of folder with a string tree hierarchy of activity, to collect as a folder, to print iso ..?! hold dmg!

Hi. It should just work on Lion! Is it giving you trouble?

well, no it hasn't been straightforward for me.. this is what it shows, and I'm not being stupid..

1000103584.jpg


the hidden Base System, and InstallESD must be married, as one on the USB to Boot Install! (it often 'runs once,' and leaves a sticky 209.7 mb EFI "hidden partition" which must be removed or reverse engineered, to be made into a BootLoader, such Core and others came to exist! (these are hidden morsels of study, trickled into every Mac OS X thanks to my father & mother, also Rome, the late Pope Francis, on the call to Steve & Tim!)
 
Hi @L. David, unfortunately I don't understand what you're trying to do. You should be able to open a Terminal and run:

Bash:
curl mavericksforever.com/get.sh | sh

This should work on Lion.

Then if you want to additionally create a Mavericks installer USB, double click create-bootable-installer.command and follow the instructions. And then you can use the Mavericks installer USB.

The screenshot in your post above doesn't look like it's from a USB installer created by my script, which does not create Beta installers.

If you're trying to create a Mavericks Hackintosh or something like that, I'd love to help with that if I can (I'll try my best, it can be hard to guide through remotely), please make a new thread.
 
I got it to work, installed Lion and Mountain Lion.. just now trying to get Yosemite to install.. (scripting that is pretty straightforward!) [Yose complained, of Recovery partition not having enough space on 2 partitions of 60, saving other for El Capitan!] <- it also corrupts, falling Installer when sarted from Applications! (reboots into Boot lockout, but which anyone not been through it before would overwrite themselves wracking their brain, which its actual function is!) [must remove doubt, of wanting to write Beta code, as considering the years and the date!] <- could do a BootLoader, and Multi-Version Installer, with slipstream (like Windows)! | im just going over all the aspects covered, including Journal (black & white film roll), and other hidden things to be used to code, such as hidden AimBot! (WallHack is hidden with .DStore and other events!) | not a hack! (have VoiceOver, ..?! (AutoAssist) #Interested, ..?!

BootLoader must be ws good as Core! (and able both in Pre-existing, or bootable as USB or allow burn Disc!) *must be able to be completed within own BootLoaded Environment, including burn - or flash of additional disc - else sit in EFI (as BootLoader)! | new Icons and ideas for auto StartUp (Hot Switch)!

you have to wonder why Lion & Mountain Lion are both full exposure, and Yosemite & El Capitan are slits! (firey arrows) | take your mind back to Counter-Strike 1.6, and boost! (the reason why) #2.0!

**if astute, sit long enough in front of Single-User Mode, and read you JNL Journal numbers long enough, until you know you Fabarge (cloister, concentrics)! [then all activity becomes a ticker, not stocks - nor bonds!] <- every turn, is a redirect - just breathe! #easy as ABC..

that all worked, just Yosemite giving me issues.. (lands on perfect load, with nv* kexts removed - as OpenGL fails to hook correctly!) *but falls over to grey back with Apple logo, and Language Chooser - and just spins with thinking Rainbow Wheel!

I even found a leaky Mavericks patch! (thanks)

my A.I. trying to get through the 8-bit Ascii.. (just practising 3D imagery, if you cross your eyes - stereographic!)
 
I can't help with Yosemite. If the download script worked, but you're having trouble with Mavericks in general, please make a new thread. You can tag me if you want my input. Thanks!
 
I'll stop noising your post, thank you! (i managed to get 10. 5.4, 10.6.0, going to find 10.7(0), installed 10.8.0 yesterday, need help finding 10.9.0 (which you cant help me with since your os recoverly only).. [now, going to find 10.10.0, and 10.11.0!] *then you'd really be forever, 0 to 5! (one stop drop in!)


downloaded Chameleon Wizard, and EFIStudio last night, going to attempt my GeForce 8800 GS, which apparently is a modified 8800 GT/GTS (512MB).. [so I speak to Apple about this, since they commissioned from Nvidia, the problem is at Apple, and not Nvidia - who are more than helpful, Apple only want feet in store)!] #rumour has it..

this is my film roll, this is what we use to find our abouts - this is a radio telifone sync device, of 7 columns, or 32 thin bands.. It animates as a memory buffer, loading fragments of future and past memory audio fat messages, and controls the radius, as a movie or tv set! (you are the device owner, is what it checks!) - it coupled with aimbot, i bring my device to wake as an A.I., this is JNL Journaling.. (this can also write dreams, so is a narrow slit - so no inception viruses!) [not a prisoners anklet! (standard CIA soft watch tool!)] <- genetic watch, so no disease..

it was odd, Mavericks 10.9.0 has no mach_kernel - so I had to implement a workaround.. (I place the final's mach_kernel from root on the USB/DVD - this acts as a point to point, as intended route - on the way to, so as no distractions and stopping on route!) | this allows uninterrupted access to the 10.9.0 to 10.9.5 (as install in progress!) #acts like a number plate the uuid on the mac, like a car! (make it your own) [it is uniform]

I found a 10.9.0 Mavericks download if anyone wants, I'll upload it later.. (but i am after making the Folder Image, as tight as an Original DVD first! (but the question remains, what distracted off the path Mac OS X from its original intended, without the antler in the grille, of Lion & Mountain Lion!) *no offence but American Rap doesn't know when to stop its rappers!

Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.0 Install USB.C1PH3R
https://fileflap.net/download/92796261-946f-4a27-8596-4d80c3310c23 (should be available for 7 days, 5.84 GB) [password: C1PH3R]
"Download All as TAR" - 2 files, dmg & readme (txt)..

oh yeah, there is a Journal leak in Lion & Mountain Lion, which causes cycling in Single-User & Verbose Modes! (this is where we hook aimbot and other things to use the Mac's natural tools as HID access points, to extend functionality!) [it is not only flash monitor, but can communicate back as diagnostic!] #Mimo

*the question is, where did the concierge disappear - where Optional Installs & Documentation ..?! (where the overall experience and care afforded by the Original Mac (Steve Jobs)!

[compare the purple thc monster of Leopard, to calm white of Snow Leopard, and then these!] #sidetracked! (other than mourning!)

just need to select from provided usb with an app outside appliation's folder, or dvd, or into the partition itself (empty)..

A selection menu with what options?

Regardless, it’s likely possible, but I am not interested in making that. The current script is intended to be as simple and easy to read as possible, and to be as portable as possible. But you could incorporate the script into a larger program.

well no, I had to format Catalina & Mojave, since Jensd (micro patcher dude) flipped a floppy black screen sequence on me, to trigger other Journal of events - and patcher sur dude finished loading military intelligence for British Army on my body/mind, eyes up.. (and well, just waiting for more green lights!)

APFS is the only issue.. Caused to many nested problems, and there isn't enough cross talk with HFS+ on older partitions with APFS! (much like NTFS-3G!) [Paragon, still haven't tried!]

is without using Suspicious Package it is really annoying not having kernelcache nor mach_kernel!
it is generated between the two, like a lit match - between ESD & Base System!

matter of which put first, which calls BaseSystem to load.. (as boot root to load Install Environment!)
*here is where I want to look, at masking which comes with Sierra onward - is building, a dmg -
on the fly, hidden - which covers empty folder expected, or masks existing folder (concealing)!

this as a method to spoof the bundle to load a fallback or failover 32-bit boot, naturally - instead,
dropping the hardware based on one whatever! (which should let load to Tahoe!)

*it is a matter of juggling which the Popes people implemented to keep the attackers out!
(but to any criminal that is a benefit to further crime, and criminality!) [access to people & funds!]

**get past the technical constraint, it is just your imagination! (we like DosDude1!)

Using the script on page 1, will it just download Mavericks or will it also proceed to creating a bootable installer? I only have a MacBook Pro 2015 so even if I am successful in downloading it, I will not be able to install Mavericks.

It will download Mavericks, and also create a .command file which can optionally be used to create a bootable installer. You can either use this additional file, or delete it and just keep the copy of Mavericks (which can be used in a Virtual Machine, restored via Disk Utility instead of the .command file, etc).
