create_macos_recovery's Issues

Works as expected on 10.15.7 with default BaseSystem.dmg, but does not work with custom BaseSystem.dmg?

First of all, awesome work on this script. Super useful and insightful.

I followed this tutorial for building a custom BaseSystem.dmg, as I want to add some files to the recovery partition. Namely, I want to add /private/var/root/.bash_profile so that I can add some aliases to the recovery shell.

In a nutshell, I took BaseSystem.dmg, mounted it, cloned it as read-write, modified it, and converted it back to compressed. Then I tossed it over the original BaseSystem.dmg in Install macOS Catalina.app and ran the script. The script ran with no errors, but when I boot with ⌘R, it takes me into internet recovery. If I reboot and run the script again with the original BaseSystem.dmg, recovery mode works.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here. I realize this probably isn't an issue with your script, but with whatever it is I've done to create my custom BaseSystem.dmg. Anyone know what might be wrong?

Always get an error:

Failed to create 10.13.6 Recovery partition

Hi, I am getting the following error:

-- macOS installer is /Volumes/Data_Raid_0/Install macOS High Sierra.app
-- Installer application for macOS 10.13.6 detected. Proceeding....
Could not interpret boot device as either network or disk
Can't interpet EFI boot device

Any idea how I can fix this would be appreciated.

Thanks

SecUpd2019-007HighSierra.RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg not found

Unable to run script because the SecUpd2019-007HighSierra.RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg package is no longer available.

pkg no longer available

SecUpd2020-003HighSierra.RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg is not there
Maybe it would be "better" to use SecUpd2020-003Mojave.RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg ?

SecUpd2020-001HighSierra.RecoveryHDUpdate Not Found

SecUpd2020-001HighSierra.RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg Not found either now.

Painful how they keep changing things.

Can't download recovery pkg.

The URL (http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/22/27/061-21534-A_KW51WMNF7J/js06knary954a9qquzljmax1xtqga4yaaz/SecUpd2019-005HighSierra.RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg) for the download of SecUpd2019-005HighSierra.RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg doesn't seem to work.

If I try and hit that from a web browser I get a "not found" response.
I tried to find a comparable download from apple, (closest I could get is this one,
https://updates.cdn-apple.com/2019/cert/061-41807-20191024-e1f5cfe8-c906-4b7f-90b5-0ad98850cbd5/SecUpd2019-005HighSierra.dmg)
which doesn't contain the same tools that the script requires.

Does macOS Big sur 11.0 work?

I accidentally deleted the recovery partition of my macOS 11.0, so im here to ask, does it work with macOS 11.0? thanks.

Getting "command not found" errors

I am running MacBook Pro late 2011 with OS 10.13.6 and OS 10.15.6 and Windows 7 Pro. Also have dosdude's GPU patch running. I am also using zsh shell in Terminal and Login. Have Terminal also emulating .sh shell. The file create_macos_recovery is also on desktop. Here is my Terminal window from session which I did on desktop:

Anyone just pipe in with suggestions because I am a little new to this Github thing. I also have factory installed 256GB ssd and all volumes and container are APFS and GUID. All drives routinely run thru Disk Utility to detect any problems and Terminal show my OS 10.13.6 Recovery Partition and I can boot into recovery when OS High Sierra is startup Drive. Now I just need OS Catalina to have its own Recovery Partition and everything will be golden.

cannot use the script

I have both the .sh and the installer app on Desktop. I navigate in terminal to the Desktop. Ran the script. Stuck on
