ITzTravelInTime Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 I have made a new release that fixes the bug that @Matgen84 had, and also makes a few small changes. Here is the change log: Fixed a crash that occurs when the SIP status isn't fully disabled or fully enabled. New lower SIP Requirements (Now the app just requires the CSR_ALLOW_UNRESTRICTED_FS flag to be disabled to operate without forcing the diagnostics mode). Updated links in the menu bar. And here is the download link: https://github.com/ITzTravelInTime/TINU/releases/tag/3.0_RC_(101) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSaF Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Spoiler Hi I can successfully build a USB installer on Monterey Beta 8 with the previous version of TINU app, but the newest version quits after formatting the Drive.

Hi, perhaps this was a knows problem since it's a crash of the NSProcess api, it's also a problem that i might actually have already fixed in the latest source code, i will send you via private messange a build of tinu made from the last source code, check if it fixes this problem. You can also get xcode 13 and a copy of the source code and try to build the app and test it. If it fixes the issue i will post a new updated build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITzTravelInTime Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 New stable relese guys, version 3.0 here is the changelog: - New algorythm for the detection of usable drives and partitions, unusable/unsupported drives and partitions will now be displayed and flagged as unusable/unsupported instead of being hidden (Doesn't apply APFS Volumes yet). - Installer apps for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion will now be detected and flagges as unsupported. - Added downloads for the OS X Lion, Mountain Lion and Yosemite installer apps in the dedicated installer app download window. - License and legal overhaul.

And here are the downloads, as always: https://github.com/ITzTravelInTime/TINU/releases 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITzTravelInTime Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) So i am working on a new feature that will extend what TINU can do, here is a teaser (sorry for the Italian text, it's what i use for testing usually): Edited November 1, 2021 by ITzTravelInTime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hi @ITzTravelInTime, I decided to create new bootable stick and choose your TINU to do this.Took the latest version from GitHub 3.0.1. All are understandable, works without gitches. For my wonder it found all my InstallMacOS.app and created menu with them. After finish I mounted the EFI partition and found it empty. No problem! I took my Clover-5149.pkg and installed Clover on this partition. The stick is bootable, Clover started and I see "Install macOS..." in the menu. Thank you for the very convenient software! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my Clover-5149.pkg and installed Clover on this partition. The stick is bootable, Clover started and I see "Install macOS..." in the menu. Thank you for the very convenient software! Oh thank you very much for giving my app a go, i also very much appreciate your work. The fact that it doesn't put in an efi folder is a deliberate design decision because i want people to actually learn to make their own efi folder, giving a pre-made efi folder would just generate many issues for me and let them just not use an optimized EFI folder right away. I want to avoid going in the same rabbithole as the "tony tools" do, and actually encourage good practices. Also at it's core TINU uses apple's Createinstallmedia with some erro checking andutomation, and doesn't mess with the bootable drive createinstallmedia makes, (besides adding some files to the root, which can be disabled), so it just works out of the box with macs and any hackintosh bootloader which supports the Createinstallmedia boot drives and you are guaranteed to have a pure and untouched vanilla installation when you are done. i have also implemented an automated Clover/Open Core EFI folder copy tool, that you can use if you already got an EFI folder ready to use. You can find it into the options menu (that you can access from the confirmation screen before staring the installer creation process). This tool just mounts the ESP, copies the EFI folder inside of it, and then unmounts the ESP. I made this tool mostly for convenience to be honest. For the UI of the app i have done a little design study, together with a UX/UI designer i know, to make the app very intuitive and convenient to use, i have also put some great deal of time into polishing the app and implementing fixes based on user feedback. For this kind of tool to be successful in any way you have to make a good and polished UI. About the whole it's also all completely free and open source, written in Swift, using AppKit as the Ui frameowrk, and it only uses my own open source libraries and the system api. BTW i want just to tell you that i am working on a brand new mac app (no idea for a release date, we are still early in development, and we also have many related-non-technical works to do yet) so stay tuned for that.

Slice Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 What is my mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITzTravelInTime Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Slice said: What is my mistake? As i said tinu doesn't really manipulate what apple's createinstallmedia executable creates, it mainly, perform checks and closes programs if necessary to ensure a successful outcome of createinstallmedia, other than providing a gui to use it, there for this is an apple issue . So i think this might be a code signing issues as of my experience, try setting the bios date back to when that particular build of the macos installer app was released and also make sure your ethernet kexts are loaded and working into the installer and that you have a working internet connection, it's known that recent macOS versions could throw out macOS installer errors when offline. If none of the above worked download a new copy of the macOS installer app and re-create the usb installer from scratch using that, perhaps apple fixed the codesigning issue by re-signing an updated build of the installer, it's known that some installer apps used certificates that expired just a few years after their release, and apple released some newly signed copies of those to provvide ways of recovering older macs that don' officially support newer versions.

Slice Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I set BIOS date to 2020 but is it good for Mojave? Internet is active inside the installer. I checked by Safari in the installer. But having internet I got real date back. Yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok, so try an offline install with the bios date back to 2019 which is when the last major mojave build was releasedd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
