Yosemite and later used a built in program called createinstallmedia to automagically make a USB stick. It is possible to create a bootable USB stick without this program.
You'll need an 8GB USB stick and either the Install Mac OS X Lion.app or InstallESD.dmg or BaseInstall.dmg.
Open Terminal, you'll need it in most of this tutorial.
We're going to need to start by getting to the actual installation disk image.
Cant get kextd port, AppleACPICPU timed out, waiting for DSMOS Hi, I am running into a weird problem. I am currently running macOS Sierra 10.12.3. At the time of installing it was 10.12.2, which I eventually updated to 10.12.3 without problems. I installed it vanilla. I will describe the process.
Step 1a - Install Mac OS X Lion.app
Mine is in Applications, but you can put it anywhere for this.
In Terminal:
Should output something like: ./Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg
In Terminal:
Step 1b - BaseInstall.dmg
Open your BaseInstall.dmg file.
In Terminal:
From here you should see something like OS X Install ESD or something like that, cd into that path.
It should show something like: ./BaseSystem.dmg
In Terminal:
Step 1c - InstallESD.dmg
If you just have an InstallESD.dmg or BaseSystem.dmg file, you should just open them.
Look in Volumes you should see something like OS X Base System, remember whatever it shows.
Step 2 - Find Your Install Disk
Should display something like:
Take note of the disk, for example mine is /dev/disk3s2.
Step 3 - Preparing Your USB Stick
Insert your USB Stick.
In Terminal:
Should display something like something else may appear depending on your stick.
Take note of the disk, in my case /dev/disk4.
Partition it.
Should output something like this:
Here you want to take note of the Initialized line, specifically your disk, mine is /dev/rdisk4s2.
Step 4 - Restore from the DMG File
WARNING IF YOU PUT THE WRONG DISKS IN HERE YOU CAN WIPE YOUR MACHINE
The source should be the disk from Step 2, the target should be the disk from Step 3
This should prompt you for your login password and display:
Step 5 - Make Bootable
In Volumes now you should have your USB stick and original installer and possibly other mounts.
I do a force unmount here, this will not unmount your system disk(s).
Remove and re-insert your USB Stick now.
Should show OS X Base System or OS X Install ESD.
Should output something like:
You should be able to Eject your stick and boot from it now.

For OpenCore EFI installers
Use tribeam.sh script
https://github.com/Broly1/tribeam
GibMacOS + finalflash.sh
Alternativelly if you prefere to use GibMacOS instead of tribeam.shyou can use finalflash.sh script which will use either
the Recovery.pkg or the BaseSystem.dmg, just drop it inside GibMacOS after downloading the desired
version of macOS and run it from there fallowing the prompt.
https://github.com/Broly1/finalflash
For manual instalation read this.
Tools you'll need :
GNOME Disks is a graphical front-end for udisks included in the 'gnome-disk-utility' package.
GParted is a free partition editor for graphically managing your disk partitions.

Some patience...
Can't Open Basesystem.dmg Hackintosh Mac
Get macOS Installer with gibMacOS
Downloading the installer files fairly straight forward process but may take a while depending on your internet speeds.
To start extract gibMacOS and and open your terminal change directory to the gibmacos.command script.
Run it with ./gibMacOS.command
This will allow you to choose the macOS version to download.
In my case I chose option 1. It will download the macOS installer files.
Make sure that BaseSystem.dmg is downloaded completely thats what we will use to create the installer
Once downloaded you can proceed to the next step.
Creating the macOS Install USB
Can't Open Basesystem.dmg Hackintosh Download
Find BaseSystem.dmg inside /gibMacOS-master/macOS Downloads/publicrelease/
Drag it to your desktop or somewhere else if you prefer.
Open your terminal and change directory to where the BaseSystem.dmg file is in my case:cd Desktop
Then run dmg2img BaseSystem.dmg base.iso it will convert the the dmg file to iso file named base.iso
Open Disks AKA 'Gnome-Disk-Disk-Utility' and drag base.iso to it and hit start restoring.This will take a wile.
Once it is done restoring the iso open up Gparted and select your usb-drive.
Rigth click in the unallocated space hit new
In File system select fat32 and in lable type EFI
Hit apply
Once done applying changes righ click on your new EFI partition and hit Manage Flags
Select boot and esp
Now whe need to mount the EFI partition
The easiest way is to open up Disks again and mount it that way
Now you should see an empty EFI partition in your file system

For OpenCore
Download OpenCore-x.x.x-RELEASE.zip
https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases
Extract it and drop OpenCore EFI folder in the EFI partition we just created
and fallow the OpenCore Vanilla Guide.
https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/
For Clover
Download CloverISO-xx.tar.lzma
https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/releases
Extract it then extract the iso as well and copy the EFI folder to the empty EFI partition
Drivers
Now open EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI and all we need there are:
ApfsDriverLoader.efi AptioMemoryFix.efi HFSPlus.efi
Kexts
Now download your kexts here:
https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21APjCyRpzoAKp4xs&id=FE4038DA929BFB23%21455036&cid=FE4038DA929BFB23
Place your kexts in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other
To know what kexts you need check this link:

You should have a sample config.plist inside /EFI/CLOVER remove it.
If on amd cpu get your sample config.plist here:
https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla
If on Intel cpu you can get a sample here:
https://github.com/corpnewt/Hackintosh-Guide
Make sure to learn the basics of config.plist
https://github.com/corpnewt/Hackintosh-Guide/blob/master/config.plist-basics.md
This shoud be enough to boot into the installer GOOD Luck!!
