I was finally successful on my machine by doing two things. One, I was not seeing the 64 bit option because Virtualization was not Enabled in the BIOS; two, I overlooked the info telling me to do the code changes as an administrator.
John
Mine sometimes sticks at the End RandomSeed but it usually follows an error message about a memory read error. I just keep restarting and it kicks past it. It may be there are too many other programs running in background that are also trying to utilize available memory addresses..

Just for completeness: I do use “virtualbox-5.2” / “5.2.26-128414~Ubuntu~trusty” – which is the newest virtualbox package available.
Info about vmdk-file:
* Size of RAR: 6636803337 Byte (MD5-checksum: e7c9ff428fc3033b769559d0d9cae58e macOS_Mojave-Final-Full_by_ProfessionalTutorial.com.rar)

I have tried Virtualbox code commands (VBoxManage …) with path “VBoxInternal/*” as well as with “VBoxInternal2/*” (as suggested somewhere).

Hello Jamshaid,
Great tutorial, however do you have a fix to get applestore working on virtualbox

One more thing … I have followed your guide here http://www.professionaltutorial.com/install-macos-mojave-vmware-windows/ and sucessfuly installed MacOS on VMware workstation player 🙂

csg
Ok, many thanks for the comments.
If (a) the download is OK and (b) does work with VMware Workstation player:
Maybe Virtualbox did intentionally deny MacOS if it does detect non-MacOS hardware (to force apple licence clauses)…?
Dean
Yep, same here, stuck in the UEFI Interactive Shell.
Hope this gets sorted soon!
Laryea
Same as aboe mentioned issue. I have followed guide to the letter
Jon
So close!
I’m in the machine and everything works EXCEPT iMessage – it just won’t accept my password. Is there something else I need to do?
I got an error when first starting up that the machine isn’t eligible to create appleIDs. I already have one and just want to log into iMessage. Any tips/tricks?
Sean
The device ID is set to 0 on mine, so I’m pretty sure you can’t get iMessage working unless you change the device ID to a valid one somehow.

Did you find some answers to log in your account
somebody says we need to change the Device Serial number somehow to sign in my apple accounts.

For everyone that have stuck to UEFI Shell – Try to download file from Media Fire. For me, that solved the issue.
Rafał Bielecki
Thanks Philip. I do want to confirm. The version from Media Fire works fine for me also. The one from google drive didn’t work for me (UEFI boot problem thingy).
Ramon
I make it. First i used the MediaFire Image. Don’t know if others will work. And, in others tutorials, there some incompatibility with audio, so disable audio on virtual box machine configurations.
Ricardo Sánchez
Philip, you are right! I also tried with mediafire link and it is working fine! the weight of the google image is less than the mediafire image, maybe it’s corrupted… Anyone with UEFI shell issue must try with mediafire link
mila

I can’t get the refresh rate to 60hz
Joe Tom Collins
The RAR file says it’s NOT a RAR file in every extractor I open.
Also, shouldn’t this work on Linux and MacOS?
VirtualBox is the same on those platforms, right?
Jonathan
Hi, I followed your tutorial, but it stoped in the line: “jnl: b(1, 2): replay_journal: from: 2707456 to: 2126336 (joffset 0x278000)” after I start the virtual machine, what do you recommend do in this case?
Stacy
After following the instructions exactly (and even deleting the virtual machine and starting over to make sure) Mine is stuck in a constant reboot -It gets to a point where it says Early boot complete. Continuing system boot. Waiting for DSMOS…
EXC_RESOURCE -> *** exceeded mem limit: InactiveSoft 15 MB (non-fatal)
EXC_RESOURCE -> *** exceeded mem limit: ActiveSoft 15 MB (non-fatal)
—it repeats that a few times for different *** and then just seems to reboot—
Any suggestions?
Levent Ince

Mouse and Keyboard doesn’t work even after installing the virtual box extension pack.
Jackson
IF YOU ARE STUCK ON THE shell>
Then you have a bad copy of the vmdk.
IF YOUR VIRTUAL MACHINE KEEPS BOOTING & RESTARTING
then you did either did not add the “setextradata” rules, or may have messed them up.

Dear Jamshaid, awesome work.
Installed yesterday High Sierra and found today your Mojave Tutorial.
Again thanks for sharing absolute great work
Joe Straaachaa
For the people that keep getting dumped into the “UEFI interactive shell” this is what worked for me.
Completely shut down virtualbox before doing all of the vboxmanage commands.
Also, go into the settings of the virtual machine, under “general” and MAKE SURE version is set to “macOS 10.13 high Sierra (64 bit)”
Ryne Tate
Can you post a video of how to set up multiple monitors on a macOS guest?
Mau Pedraza

Solution 3 works. Thanks!

Great tutorial, thanks a lot. However, USB option greyed out. Please help.

Close VirtualBox
Open “Command Prompt” in administrator mode.
Copy and paste this exactly into the command line (with quotes): cd “C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\” Note: This will only work if you installed in the default VirtualBox location. Otherwise you will have to find it yourself.
Enter this into the command line: VBoxManage modifyvm “name your mac os” –cpu-profile “Intel Core i7-6700K”
William Campbell
Very good, very helpful. It works perfectly. Thank you. For those who comment that things don’t work, first set up a Windows VM, make sure VirtualBox is working OK. I already had many others, but trouble with Macs. Your instructions made it work first time.
Juan
Hi Jamshaid, thank you for your work. It’s working great. What I don’t know and I want to know is which key is the Cmd key in my windows keyboard? Ctrl, Fn, Win or Alt. For eg for shorcuts as Cmd C and Cmd V. I tried with all those and I couldn’t.
William Campbell
Windows key is Mac command key.
William Campbell
Everything works well except no audio. Any suggestions? Already tried Multibeast and Voodoo drivers. Still no audio. Thanks.
