CREATING THE BOOT DRIVE (Need SSD for Apple Silicone Macs):

Note: external drive must have Mac OS Monterey Installed for this to work. Then copy paste bash file into the root directory once OS is installed, make external drive writable:

make external disk writable:

sudo mount -uw /Volumes/$VOLUME_NAME$

Copy bash files into root of external drive:

cp ~/$bash_location$/think_soft.sh /Volumes/$VOLUME_NAME$
cp ~/$bash_location$/think_soft_main.sh /Volumes/$VOLUME_NAME$

use sudo if permission denied:

sudo cp ~/$bash_location$/think_soft.sh /Volumes/$VOLUME_NAME$
sudo cp ~/$bash_location$/think_soft_main.sh /Volumes/$VOLUME_NAME$

---

USING THE BOOT DRIVE IN RECOVERY MODE:

go to Terminal then change directory to /Volumes/$VOLUME_NAME$:

cd /Volumes/$VOLUME_NAME$

run script:

./think_soft.sh

Enter Device Phoenix ID (for example):

Enter Phoenix_ID:
