Because this repository is growed as a main branch for our Infinix INBOOKS Hackintosh. So anyone can work in this repository about our all INFINIX INBOOKS but give credits. EOL due to i don't have a infinix laptop(broken).

This is a simple and quick summary of the online install USB creation.

macOS Bigsur Installer with Windows And Mac Users:

<details> <summary><strong>Process1.MacOS BigSur Online Installer from Windows, linux and macOS:</strong></summary>
  1. Then ......................
  2. Now, Install Python from Microsoft store or Download manually for MAC,linux and Windows users here -> python (Make sure you select add python x.x to path to environmet variables for windows users.)

  1. This will download some files in the macrecovery folder but we only need "BaseSystem.dmg" and "BaseSystem.chunklist" (takes approx. 600mb to 800mb internet)for Downloading the Macos installer.
  2. Create a folder in USB or pendrive or flash drive named com.apple.recovery.boot.

You will get display glitches only while installing the macOS via USB or any flash drive. But you won't get Atleast ONE glitch after installing of macos or using the MacOS as a daily driver.

Open opencore-configurator again -> Now mount the EFI and paste the EFI<named-folder> to the EFI partition of your system drive.

</details> <details><summary><strong><ins>1.Disable the black screen texts on boot up</ins></strong></summary>

( Disabling the Verbose mode)A new hackintosh User uses this. To disable it, In Config.plist, navigate to 'NVRAM' -> go to Add 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> boot-args -> remove the -v argument. Save it and reboot.

</details> <details><summary><strong><ins> 2. Disable ShowPicker</ins></strong></summary>

Don't use this if you are using dual boot.
