I previously formatted the drive on another Macbook to the correct format to avoid the installer not detecting it.

I am able to boot the installer normally, when I open the disk utility it detects the hard drive.

I tried doing the installer from a freshly downloaded High Sierra Installer two or three more times.

Then I tried putting the SSD in the problematic Macbook and it doesnt detect any bootable OS.

Nothing, after a few seconds it shows the folder with a question mark on it.

I checked and found out that some models have issues doing internet recovery via Wi-Fi and connected it to a cable and got the same result.

Also- have you tried installing via a different drive Its possible whatever drive you have the installer on is corrupt.

What I did to fix this issue was make a bootable Lion USB, and I was able to install Lion.

After that I was able to install High Sierra without any issues as an upgrade.
