Booting to a macOS Big Sur USB Install Disk is enabled now by Default on Apple Silicon Macs!!! You can now reinstall macOS in half the time it takes by using a USB installer instead of downloading in regular macOS recovery! I wrote an article covering all the changes to macOS Recovery here.

How to download macOS Big Sur full installers - mrmacintosh.com/macos-big-sur...
Order of that you should follow for reinstalling macOS on Apple Silicon.
1. macOS Recovery
2. System Recovery - (Will boot automatically if macOS Recovery is unavailable)
3. macOS Big Sur USB Installer Drive - (External boot for macOS Installers is enabled by default on Apple Silicon)
4. Apple Configurator 2 REVIVE option - This option will reinstall macOS Recovery (retains user data on the SSD hard drive)
5. Apple Configurator 2 RESTORE option - This option will Reinstall macOS Recovery, ERASE your SSD hard drive and reinstall macOS
Apple has just posted a new articles on macOS recovery, booting to DFU mode and how to restore macOS Firmware.

I watched the deep dive version of this video, thank you so f*cking much! You saved my brand new macbook’s life. This key combination is really tricky and several failures occurred before it finally went through. Your videos are a much better help than anything posted by Apple themselves.

5:47 you should actually press the view button and change it to show all then select the actual root disk and erase that. This will do a clean install. Otherwise you'll be left with things like EFI etc.

My new M1 Mini went down after trying to upgrade to 12.6.2, the machine would net let me login. Apple had me erase each and every partition on the M! disk by starting at the last partition and working my way up to the base disk. He explained that this was the only way to make sure everything was gone.I then installed a fresh copy of 12.6.2, I then set up the computer like it was brand new.

@JohnSmith-rm1ob 3 года назад

Mr. Macintosh: For us Intel Mac people too afraid to install Big Sur (due to all the bugs) how about a video on how to install Big Sur into a APFS container alongside Catalina on the internal drive. This would essentially create a dual boot Catalina/BigSur Mac with the advantage that we would not disrupt our production mac (Catalina) and yet be able to try out Big Sur.

@Mr.Macintosh 3 года назад

Great idea John! I was not happy with this video because viewers could not see the screen very well. I’ve ordered a capture card so everyone can see the recovery environment properly. Once the card comes in I will be able to record creating a second partition 👍

@alright272 3 года назад

I'm still confused about these apple silicon macs. If you boot and it gives you the error that says restore, will it still let you boot into a big sur installer usb reinstall the os, or do you have to use a second mac at that point? Also, do these macs still have a firmware, like how intel macs had efi, do these have some type of that that doesn't rely on an operating system to perform the basic functions of the computer?

Hi Man, the Macintosh-HD APFS volume that you erased would have been part of some container also.. can we delete the containers too and setup as brand new. Also, external bootable usb drive is formatted as mac os extended as suggested by Apple createinstallmedia page. It has posed compatibility issues before when bootable drive is mac os extended and hard drive formatted as APFS for High sierra installation i remember. does that not pose any problem in big sur installation on M1 chip. I bricked my macbook air m1 by deleting the partitions (HD and Data)and containers, after that it wouldnt boot to recovery just exclamation icon and to resort to apple configurator option only. I tried formatting big sur OS drive as mac os extended only while i was doing clean install. Can you help and designate those steps so i dont brick it again. Suppose i have bootable drive mac-os-extended Big Sur installer ready, what next ?

@FirstIndianCamper 3 года назад

For some reason, every-time i see these two Macs, it catches me off-guard and makes me think you need the Intel one for a reason, not just for visual differences.

Na Na, after thinking about it I agree. Plus viewers can’t see the screen very well. I just purchased a capture card so the recovery environment will be crystal clear.

Great videos! Following this video using a bootable USB per one of your other vids, and I'm sitting at 5 hours. It's as if it's downloading the OS. I am using a USB-C 3.1 flash drive. Not sure what to think.

@Mr.Macintosh 2 года назад

@xroadracer, you are correct. If the timer goes to 2-5 hours then it is downloading and not installing from the USB. You are trying to install on an M1 ?

@Dheeraj_Bh 3 года назад

Thanks for the tutorial! My M1 Mac shows a “exclamation mark” because I removed a 5 GB partition from my internal drive using disk utility. My main volume is still booting just fine so I was able to create live big sur USB by downloading the installer from App Store and using terminal command. I tried plugging in the big sur USB and then turn on Mac holding power button and it still shows “exclamation” and doesn’t give me option to boot into USB. This is strange as intel macs usually recognize USB just fine regardless of the system situation and provide the option to boot right away. Is there a way to restore to get into boot picker ?

@neonx9184 3 года назад

Hi, i rly appreciate your work and the clear information you give to other mac users, if i can ask, is there a place where you can find older InstallerAssistant.pkg of mac os big sur official version (not beta) for fresh install and downgrade of the Macbook pro M1, because from what i understood, if you have the old pkg you can downgrade or do a fresh install since (from now) they are not stop signin the versions, so i bought the new MacBook pro M1, i didn’t upgrade it and is factory on 11.1, i want in a near future to do a fresh install of this version and i don’t have another mac so i’m unable to use apple configurator 2, if i have the InstallAssistant package of Big Sur 11.1 i can simply install it on 11.1 and create the usb flash drive than do this guide, and correct me if i’m wrong i can fresh install from the usb the 11.1. But i don’t have the package since is not possible to download it from apple servers, and i’m unable to find it even with terminal script on github, is there the possibility for you to upload it somewhere if you have it? thanks in advance for the reply.

@Mr.Macintosh 3 года назад

Hello Neonx, yes you usually can downgrade as long as you still have the full installer. This is why it's a good idea to grab the installer for archiving while it's still available. As of 3/8/21 Apple has pulled the 11.1 and 11.2 Full Installers so you can only get them via IPSW files. The IPSW files are available all the way back to 11.0.1!!! Do you need 11.1 for a certain reason? It has security holes in it that need to be patched, especially the SUDO vulnerability.

@neonx9184 3 года назад

@@Mr.Macintosh So i can extract the installer from the IPSW file? The reason of why i need 11.1 is because in that version, but also in the latest 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 i can sideload the apps using the ipa files, in 11.3 they blocked the possibility to do that, and i can't stay without this feature ( it is very useful to install and use apps like: netflix, facebook, google drive and so on and so forth) even if there are vulnerabilities. i'm new to the mac world, since 2000 i used windows, and now i bought my first mac because the big change is starting from this year, and i decided to "surf" on these early builds till apple and developers "finalize" this plan to relase IPhone/IPad apps for silicon processor and optimized for desktop use, when a lot of "essentials" apps will be relased ill'start to update mac os regularly.

@neonx9184 3 года назад

@@nicsonfadriz hello, i discovered that the new apple silicon structure is made by 2 parts, the first one is macos big sur disk, the other one is the mac os recovery, both one have the version of mac os that is currently installed in your mac which is 11.3 now, if you create a usb with mac os 11.2.3 and you try to boot from that one you will get a error message that tells you that the version on the usb installer is lower than your current one, so no, you cant downgrade via usb stick. You can only, (if you have the assistant package of the version you have now installed) create a 11.3 usb stick to make a clean install of the os skipping the time of download the os from mac os recovery, mac os recovery is linked to the upgraded mac os big sur and it can not be reverted via usb install, only with Apple configurator 2 and the ipsw of the version you want to downgrade you can, the recovery version can go back only with apple configurator 2, so with usb stick you can only update or fresh install the current version or an updated one.

I bought a MacBook Pro by auction, because it has a password in it, I watched it from the videos, while resetpassword, the system keeps turning itself off and on. CMD+R keys do not enter the recovery mode, I enter Wi-Fi from the internet and it starts to fill, after it is full, the machine turns itself off and on, I tried it from USB, but it did not load, it shuts itself down constantly, what is the reason for this? If you could help with this situation, I would greatly appreciate it.

The standard way to reinstall macOS on M1 macs is to let recovery download Big Sur. This process takes significantly longer than downloading the InstallAssistant.pkg when you are in the os. We are talking 1 hour vs 15 minutes.

@heliwrsfoestuff5913 2 года назад

I think I got it figured out. .ipsw are for use when using a second mac to install OS. I found that when I downloaded big sur, it placed installer in my Applications folder. I was thinking this only worked for Intel macs, but apparently you can use the same installer for M1

@Mr.Macintosh 2 года назад

Correct. The IPSW is for M1 Apple Configurator 2 Restores. The full installer app can be used for upgrades or a usb install on both Intel and M1.
