Here, we are using dd (copy and convert) to copy and convert input file (if) IMG to diskN. Use dd command in the following manner to create live USB: sudo dd if/Path-to-IMG-DMG-file of/dev/rdiskN bs1m. Now you can boot up from your newly bootable disk and either Install OSX10.9 on another device or use the Terminal/Disk Utility or Firmware Password Utilities on another device. Therefore, do remember the correct device number of your USB drive or else you might end up corrupting Mac OS X. Remove the existing Packages alias link from the newly restored image rm /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation/PackagesĬopy the full OSX Mavericks Packages over to the new image….takes a while cp -R /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages/ /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation/PackagesĪnd there it is! – to eject the new bootable USB OSX Mavericks 10.9 disk ‘cd’ to home and eject cd ~/ hdiutil eject /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/ This will change ‘ BootDisk‘ to ‘ OS X Base System‘ This puts you back in the Finder in front of the newly mounted InstallESD.dmg, go back to Terminal and clone the BaseSystem.dmg to the remote USB drive sudo asr restore -source /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg -target /Volumes/BootDisk/ -erase -noverify Swap to the newly mounted image cd /Volumes/InstallESD.dmg Mount the InstallESD.dmg buried deep in the app hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify Just for the crazy ones……after Mavericks is downloaded….and again this assumes you external disk is named BootDisk You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.If you want all to return back to normal and hide the system files run a couple more commands in the Terminal defaults write AppleShowAllFiles FALSE killall Finder How to create the OSX 10.9 Mavericks Bootable Drive just via Terminal When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Sonoma.After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume.Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased.
