Bootable Big Sur installer

I was experiencing hardware issue all along hence i was not able to create bootable media for Big Sur. All my installer downloads were ok after all, good i kept them. Just updated to Big Sur successfully using bootable usb🤓 just to note, both macs cant download Big Sur installer using regular connection up to now. I was able to download the installers with vpn switched on. Thank you for all your input

Hello im still having an error aftr removing what you told me to do. It says there was an error parsing and ot cant mount dmg etc. Pls refer to terminal prompt below. Is there any other workaround? Im using a 64gb usb. Thanks

Thank you. I used that free app on my catalina installer. Very fast and simple to use. Hope they develop one for Big Sur. In the meantime im trying to create one using terminal for big sur but i keep on getting an error as shown on my earlier post. Dont know if this is a package issue or a hardware problem. Appreciate any help i can get

I was suspecting that. I tried to download 4 separate times by doing what you just posted. All 4 installers could be corrupted. Curriously if i download without a vpn, i get an error always. If i download with the vpn connected i always get the installer. Perhaps the apple server is still overloaded. Checked their site but it says there is no problem on the update server. Strange

Trying to download Big Sur on my daughter’s mac pro. Unfortunately, Im also getting installation failed prompt during download process. Is there a way you can clear previous download cache so you can have a fresh download of the installer?

Thank you. I will try now and let you know.
