Solution for errors in macOS High Sierra installation.These instructions are based on my personal experience.Installation stuck at 'Retrying http://swcdn.apple.com/.../InstallESDDmg.pkg after 1 failure(s)'

Backgrounds

  • Upgrade from previous macOS. In my case, macOS Sierra.
  • Upgrade using macOS High Sierra Installer downloaded from App Store.
  • Upgrade went wrong during its progress. Black screen appeared. It tells you should diagnose or restart.

But after you restart it...

Check your conditions

  • Not able to boot. Screen shows question mark folder.
  • Not able to boot in Safe Mode either.
  • Able to boot in Recovery Mode.
  • Able to reinstall in Recovery Mode.
  • But it takes forever. The progress stops.
  • Last log says Retrying http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/04/61/091-34298/almpfkbhyxnsgbxxqhoqo7sb40w3uip0wk/InstallESDDmg.pkg after 1 failure(s) or something similar.

If your condition follows all above then follow Downloading Stuck

If you're experiencing only the last step, then follow Downloading Stuck except DNS part.

If you somehow passed above situations, but still...

  • Requires disk password.
  • Your password doesn't work. Including your Account password, FileValut password, iCloud password.
  • Reset Password Mode doesn't help. All the three options are not available.
  • Safe Mode results the same.
  • Able/Not able to boot in Recovery Mode.
  • Previously encrypted your disk using FileValut. (maybe doesn't matter)

If your condition follows all above then follow Disk Password is Required

Notes

You can get into Recovery Mode by following this method. Start up from macOS RecoveryI tried all options. Command (⌘)-R and Option-Command-R were showing the same result, while Shift-Option-Command-R didn't work at all since my disk format was already converted info APFS. I kept using Command (⌘)-R since then.

You can show log window by Command (⌘)-L or at the menu bar. Make it show your all logs instead of only errors. It helps you identify your problem more precisely.

At this point your installation progress should be stopped for hours. When you check the last log it will probably say something likeRetrying http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/04/61/091-34298/almpfkbhyxnsgbxxqhoqo7sb40w3uip0wk/InstallESDDmg.pkg after 1 failure(s)The part InstallESDDmg.pkg may be different but you should see the patternRetrying http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/.../[filename] after # failure(s)Then this instructions may help you out from the problem.

Note that my solution is pretty complicated than it supposed to be considering the problem caused by a network issue. There might be some other solutions, but this is the only one that I found so far.

Without DNS

If you're on normal boot or able to boot on safe mode, you would be able to modify /etc/hosts file. Meaning that you're not required to run DNS server. I will mark all DNS parts with (DNS) symbol so that you can easily skip them.

Setup your environment

You need another PC. I used Ubuntu. Open terminal.

Clone this git repo.

git clone https://github.com/Jinsung-L/install-macos-high-sierra.git

Move to the folder.

cd install-macos-high-sierra

Install python requirements. I used python3.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install DNSMasq. (DNS)

Pre-download the installation files

Now you need to pre-download and place it under right position.You download them from http://swcdn.apple.comBut you will have to use curl to continue the downloading when it stops.

Example curl -O -C - http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/04/61/091-34298/almpfkbhyxnsgbxxqhoqo7sb40w3uip0wk/InstallESDDmg.pkgMonitor if the current download speed drops to 0. If that happens, cancel the process with Ctrl + C and rerun the command again. It will autometically continue downloading from where you ended.

As you can see, I skipped downloading few small files. It worked fine for me. But maybe not for your case. It's your choice.

Once you downloaded all files you need, place them in the exact same directory as its url under the storage folder.

Setup your file server

Copy the configuration file then restart DNSMasq. (DNS)

Modify /etc/hosts

If you're going without DNS server, instead you need to modify the /etc/hosts file on your mac. At the end of the file add the following line.

or this if you're running your file server on other machine.

Start flask server

Now you're File server and DNS server is running.You can test that by running

The download should've done in a second and the checksum must match with the original.

Configure your router (DNS)

Sierra No Native Mechanism To Verify Applediagnostics.dmg Account

Now you have to make your MacBook connect to your DNS server. Since it's impossible to modify /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.config in Recovery Mode, you'll have to find a way to configure your router. Change the DNS Server Setting of your router to use your DNS Server's IP address. You'll easily find a way to do this by searching from google.

Retry installation in Recovery Mode

Now everything is setup. Restart your mac to boot in Recovery Mode if you haven't yet.Retry reinstall macOS. It will work fine. After the reinstallation gets done, your system will get rebooted then it will continue the installation process.

If you see the same problem occuring at this step, check the log. Find out at which file you're stuck, download that file into your File server, close installer, restart installation again.
