Mojave Installation fails. I tried literally everything! Hello,I am trying to update my 21" iMac from 2016 from High Sierra to Mojave and it fails completely. I am caught in the loop of failing with an error message (around 20min left), prompt to restart and then the same happens. The Error in the log is 110. I tried safe mode and all the resets. I can not install High Sierra back from a thumb drive because the Recovery Mode says it is too old. Everything is unplugged, I have no third party RAM or anything in my Mac.Then Internet recovery mode doesn't offer me an older version, just Mojave again so I am again back to square one. This really is insane. Also I searched the internet already and as though there is a lot of information out there nothings seems to help.Appreciate any idea!

The problem is now resolved. It appears that it was because I was working via my Thunderbolt display. I unplugged the display and worked directly from the Macbook Pro keyboard.
