I recently erased everything on my HDD from my 2011 iMac and am now trying to reinstall macOS Sierra using recovery mode. Every time I try to reinstall macOS it gets to 100% but then displays the time remaining in negative seconds. I checked the logs and it says that it "Couldn't mount dmg! (error code 110). I was wondering if there is a fix to this or if there is a way I can create a usb that could install macOS Sierra.

Open Terminal (Applications/ Utilities) now copy and paste this command into the Terminal window,
sudo plutil -replace CFBundleShortVersionString -string "12.6.03" /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Info.plist
press return
enter your password
press return
Now paste in the createinstallmedia command for Sierra where MyVolume can be replaced with the name of your USB stick
If your USB name has more than one word separated by spaces you would need to type it in as
/The\ USB\ Name
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app
press return
follow the prompts
When I try to download Sierra from the first link you provided for the bootable drive guide, nothing happens.
Does High Sierra do the same thing?
When I try High Sierra it brings me to the App Store but when I try to download it, it brings me to software update in system settings and says "Update Not Found"
