Instructions

  1. Format an USB with at least 16gb. USB 2.0 is easier than 3.0. Format it as hfs+ on a GPT map.

  2. Get the installer .app from Apple and run as said in this page.

    sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume
    
  3. Copy the EFI folder on your installer USB to boot. (Must have a GUID partition table, copy the folder to the 200mb FAT32 one) <br/>

    # Run MountEFI to mount the EFI partition on the USB.
    git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI && cd MountEFI && chmod +x MountEFI.command && ./MountEFI.command
    
  4. Boot the installer and install macOS. <br/>

  5. Use MountEFI to mount the ESP on the internal disk of your system and copy the EFI contents to it.<br/>

    # Cloning MountEFI to the new system and using it to mount internal EFI
    git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI && chmod +x /MountEFI/MountEFI.command && sudo python3 MountEFI/MountEFI.command disk0 && open /Volumes/EFI/

Post Installation

  1. For keyboard layout (the latin american one) - Using B layout.
git clone https://github.com/neosergio/Latam-Keyboard.git && cd Latam-Keyboard && cp -v Latam*.* ~/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/

Then set it on System Preferences.

Keyboard settings

  1. Use xzhih's script to enable hidpi. For Big Sur, use this fork that does not need access to / nor disabled SIP.
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mlch911/one-key-hidpi/master/hidpi.sh)"

hidpi

  1. Configure your serial number, uuid, and other identifiers. The ones on the plist are a scramble of the ones I'm using. As for how to configure it, the correct way is described in this section of the guide.
  2. Reboot a couple of times to let it sit.

Updating

For beta 9, go to config.plist => Misc -> Security -> SecureBootModel and set it to 'Disabled'

After the update, set it back to 'Default'
