    Is there an guide on how to do it ?

    Because i have no access to mac computer and i found some tips in other threads but not an actual step by step guide. Could you help?

    Right now i have dmg file called "macOS Catalina 10.15.6 (19G73)" which is 8gb. I used transmac but it seems like usb is not even uefi bootable.

    You want to do this before creating the bootable media because there's a good chance you format the drive with a Windows machine. If this is the case, then you are probably using an MBR partition, and the USB drive needs a GPT partition to work on a Mac.
