Obtaining the macOS operating system files outside of an existing macOS installation is software piracy, as such it is against the forums ToS to provide help with obtaining macOS IN ANY OTHER WAY than the method I will outline in this guide.

My laptop has 4 USB ports, 3xUSB 3.0 ports and 1xUSB 2.0 port. This means, on Windows, you must revert back to a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port to avoid this error. If that doesn’t help and you’re using a new laptop with USB 3.0 ports, most likely you’ve hit a known problem – VMware does not support most USB 3.0 chips on Windows host. Stop all Windows applications that are currently using the device, reboot your laptop and the virtual machine and try again. When this happens, first check if the error message is telling you the truth. “The connection for the USB device was unsuccessful. On a side note, when trying to connect your USB device to the Mac virtual machine via VMware menu, you may receive the following error message: I have not had the time to verify this, however. Luckily, according to my research, this is probably not needed with Mountain Lion, since it supports Ivy bridge natively. What a hassle created by Apple, the virtual machine would have booted up properly and saved me precious time troubleshooting without this check. Max OS X Lion doesn’t like Ivy Bridge architecture, and thus refuses to boot up unless the CPU ID is masked to make OS X think it’s running on a Sandy Bridge processor. With this change, my OS X Lion booted up properly and there is no need to work with it in a saved state anymore.īut what makes OS X Lion dislike my new laptop’s processor and refuse to boot up? The fact that the unmodified virtual machine can still work on the new processor with the previously saved state implies that the processor difference is probably not critical – it was most likely a check that disables the processor if an unwelcome processor is found! With further research I realized that my new laptop processor architecture is Ivy Bridge, as compared with Sandy Bridge in my old laptop. However, using instructions from this forum, I was able to change the CPU ID by modifying the VMX file and add the following line:Ĭpuid.1.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101″ I am using VMware workstation, which does not have such an option to mask the CPU ID. scroll to the bottom of the window on the Virtual Machine Default tab edit the VM settings with the VM powered off Following a Google search of the root device uuid message, I found this blog which describes a similar problem and the solution for VMware ESXi by editing the CPU ID:

Recently I had some free time and determined to solve the problem completely. For more than 2 weeks, due to time constraints, I simply worked with the virtual machine in that saved state, suspended it when done and reverting back to the snapshot (after saving all data) when I needed to reboot! I chose to proceed, and guess what, my OS X booted up and functioned properly without further problems. The features supported by the processor(s) in this machine are different from the features supported by the processor(s) in the machine on which the snapshot was saved. Following a strange idea, I reverted the virtual machine to one of the previous snapshot, saved when OS X Lion was already running, and received the following warning about processor features difference: The CPU was apparently halted as soon as the boot device was detected (indicated by the info ‘root device uuid is…’) without even attempting to boot further. There is no problem indicated by the above messages – it is simply part of the OS X boot process.
