How to solve "APFS inverter failed to invert the volume" error

gistfile1.txt

After cloning APFS drives using Disk Utility it usually ends with a volume containing ContainerToInvert file with the size of a cloned partition.

Don't be afraid, using the following steps you can mount this file as APFS container and get all partitions.

1. Requirements
We need FUSE and xmount installed

2. Terminal
Open Terminal app and type the following:
$ sudo mkdir /Volumes/apfs_image/
$ sudo mkdir /Volumes/apfs_mounted/
$ sudo xmount --in raw <path to ContainerToInvert file> --out dmg /Volumes/apfs_image/
$ hdiutil attach -nomount /Volumes/apfs_image/ContainerToInvert.dmg
$ diskutil ap list
## this is optional step, I don't need it
$ diskutil ap unlockVolume <Disk GUID> -nomount
$ sudo mount_apfs -o rdonly,noexec,noowners /dev/disk# /Volumes/apfs_mounted/

After that, you will have the original partition mounted to your system.

hdiutil attach -imagekey diskimage-class=CRawDiskImage ContainerToInvert -nomount

Should work without need for xmount and is simpler

I've been using the code above, still the files I found in my ContainerToInvert are corrupt or at least, I can not open them. mehrdata's way did not work for me either.. still the files seem to be corrupt :-/
any ideas?

Super helpful! Thank you!
