Cannot boot into Mac OS installer. Instead, booting into EFI Internal Shell

Post by ShrihanDev »

Hello #VBoxUsers!
I wanted to try macOS before switching to a Mac
I installed VirtualBox 6.1
I installed macOS dmg from Google Drive(that is, highly compressed dmg, because I don't have sufficient Internet)
I configured the following:
General:
Name: macOS
Operating System: Mac OS X (64-bit)
System:
Processors: 2
Base Memory: 2048MB
Acceleration: VT-X/AMD-V, Nested Paging, Paravirtualization Interface(Hyper-V)
Storage:
Controller SATA:
SATA Port 0: [Optical Drive] Mac OS X Live DVD.dmg
SATA Port 1: MacOS.vdi [Normal, 1.00 TB]
REST DEFAULT.........
Next, I applied the VBoxManage Code in cmd(Running as Administrator).
Code:

Code: Select all

cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\"
VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "Virtual Machine Name" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
VBoxManage setextradata "Virtual Machine Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac11,3"
VBoxManage setextradata "Virtual Machine Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"
VBoxManage setextradata "Virtual Machine Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Iloveapple"
[...]
VBoxManage setextradata "Virtual Machine Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1
All codes worked correctly, without any errors.
(Plus: I also closed VirtualBox, also from Task Manager, before applying the code... )
When I started the VM, hoping that it would boot successfully, it booted into the efi internal shell
I reset the VM, still the same.
Thinking that disabling EFI would fix it, I disabled it, then started the VM. Unfortunately, it didn't start at all.

Please suggest me!

No!

1st, one Thread is enaugh!
2nd, It seems you want to install Mac OS on non Apple hardware, which is not supported here and your Threads will be locked soon.
