Help me with making macOS USB on Ubuntu?
The macOS partition in my Mac is corrupted and now all I have is a Ubuntu. I'm trying to make a Mac OS USB disk from Linux and I'm stuck without much options. I read here that if download DMG files for Mac you can make macOS USB in Windows. Is there any tool/method for this on Ubuntu 18.04?
The software to convert a DMG to an IMG is dmg2img and an IMG is basically an ISO:
Install:
sudo apt-get install dmg2img
Converting to IMG:
dmg2img {file}.dmg
- you will end up with {file}.img
Burn it to an unmounted USB:
sudo umount /dev/sd{Y}
sudo dd bs=4M if={file}.img of=/dev/sd{X}
- replace {file} to your filename
- replace {Y} to the letter of your USB pendrive
-
df -hwill list the pendrive when it is mounted so you can find {Y} there.
