New Aura Pro SSD not recognized
Here is the situation:
- The original SSD in my MacBookPro died (verified by diagnostics run by the genius bar at the apple store).
- I purchased and installed a "240GB OWC Aura Pro X SSD (Blade Only)" from MacSales.
- The new SSD is not recognized using recovery.
- I only have access to windows machines to try and revive the MacBookPro.
The MacSales site states:
"macOS 10.13 and later versions include an EFI (firmware) update that
adds support for the Aura Pro X to the host computer. If you do not first
update the host firmware by installing macOS 10.13 or later onto the
existing SSD, the Aura Pro X will not function properly once installed."
I'm pretty sure that the original drive had High Sierra on it because I tried to reinstall OSX by booting with Command-R and it was trying to install High Sierra (before visiting the Apple store).
Is there a way to make a bootable USB with High Sierra on it using windows? Or another way to get out of this mess using the tools I have (a MacBookPro with an un-formatted SSD)?
Help.

Ah perfect this solved my issue. I replaced my logic board and the firmware on it did not support my Aura Pro X SSD I already had installed. Pulled out my stock SSD and installed 10.14 Mojave on it and immediately swapped in my Aura SSD and it all works perfect. Thanks very much!

Weird, this doesn't make sense to me. I'm using an early 2015 Macbook Pro 13" A1502 running Catalina which was upgraded from Mojave a few weeks ago. Now I installed a new Aura SSD X2 480GB OWCS3DAPT4MB05. When I used a bootable Mojave USB that it's known to be working. I used it and a co-worker used it to restored two other MacBooks. I can see the SSD and format it, but when I try to install Mojave said the install USB is corrupted. I then try Command + R using the internet recovery try to restore to El Capitan, it wouldn't see my SSD.

The failure to install Mojave with an 'installer damaged' issue is quite possibly because you are using an older copy of the installer, with an expired certificate:
