could not create a preboot volume for APFS install

[Gatt]

Hello, I wanted to reformat and do a fresh install of macOS High Sierra as i will be giving the mac to my sister.

My process was Going to the CMD+ R screen

Going to Disk Utilities

-Erasing Macintosh HD

-Rebooting and going back to CMD+R screen again

-Clicking on install macOS

-Clicking on install High Sierra

-Once the process reached 100%, I got the error “could not create a preboot volume for APFS install”

Now I am unable to install a macOS any help please? iam using MacBook Air 2017? also i tried to change Maconitsh HD to Mac extended Journal instead but i dont have that option just all AFPS related.

Which partition do you want me to try to delete?

If using the High Sierra disk utility, click on all devices, and try staying every partition first to see if that helps.

the only thing i was able to delete is "Macintosh HD" when i try to delete "container disk1 or apple SSD SMG 0128 Media" the "-" sign is greyed out

Do you have access to another Mac to create a Sierra or El Capitan installer?

Either operating system will format the ssd back to HFS. It may take a couple of tries to format with Sierra or El Capitan but it should bring it back to HFS and then you can install High Sierra.

Did you try pursuing the power button and hosting down command+option+R keys to enter internet recovery?

I had the same issue but on a Mac Pro. I downloaded Sierra and made a bootable usb which formatted the drive to HFS and then did the upgrade to High Sierra.

I just solved this problem. Somehow, the partition (volumes) got messed up in the new Apple File System. So what I did was reformat it to MAC OS Extended (journaled)—I guess that’s the old file system. Then I reformated it again back to APFS and installed High Sierra. That’s all without a bootable USB
