Can't install MacOS High Sierra in my 2011 MBP
i'm having a pretty annoying issue with my 2011MBP.
Long story short.. i was listening some music when it suddenly stopped, when i tried to restart the mac a prohibitory sign appeared instead of the usual apple..
I was able to put the SSD into another mac to recover all my data (since the drive won't boot but it could be used as an external drive). Now i'm struggling to do a fresh OS install!
I've already tried 2 different HS bootable USB drives (one made with terminal and another made with the "install disk creator" app), and the installer was downloaded directly from the app store.
The issue here is that i've tried internet recovery (sometimes it boots Lion recovery and sometimes it boots HS recovery) and both usb installer drives, none of which was able to be installed! what happens every time is that when the installer is about 2min remaining it reboots into recovery mode.. i've tried to keep the loop up to 4 times of install-reboot-install-reboot and it's pretty annoying not being able to leave the recovery mode!
Any tips on how to effectively do a fresh install of High Sierra, or how to stop this annoying loop?
if anyone asks about the HW: MBP early 2011, intel i5, 16gb ddr3 ram, adata su800 512gb ssd, which according to disk utility ain't damaged, and can be used as external drive without any issues
