Hi everyone, you all know by now that you need to adjust date to fix this but what really works is to adjust the date to mid 2017. It won't work if you adjust to current date.
Thank you so much for adding this. Trying to do this in February 2020. Tried everything and lost hope until changing upon your comment/reply. Amazing! Detail is everything :-))))
Same hear, just followed your comment and it worked for me (in feb 2020) too! Thank u @Charlee78
when you change the date does it keep all your old files pictures etc?
I was able to successfully install El Capitan, following Charlee78's suggestion to set date at Terminal on OSX Recovery mode before continuing with OSX installation.
I now have a running clean installation of El Capitan on an external Samsung EVO 860 SSD drive. Thank you, Charlee78
