The command in terminal to create USB instaler: .... your USBDrive must be named: USB
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app --nointeraction
High sierra must be downloaded in your pc. then u use the command.

i did that but it say Reboot and Select proper Boot device. cant boot the usb i think i have boot loop issue which i don't know how to fix it any idea cause it works before on my system..@aka80
 
Hey

Same board here. I had to fix this as well.

I wouldn't manually edit the .plist if you can avoid doing so and if you must, use Xcode.

It's far easier to just make sure you have the latest version of Clover Configurator and using that, mount your efi, open your config.plist with CC.

Once that's open choose ACPI on the left hand side. Then on the main window there's a small window called "Drop Tables". Click the "+" in the bottom right of "Drop tables" and choose MATS, use the top menu of CC to save your config.plist and it's done. No risk of corrupting your config.plist that way.

Been there, done that.

All the best.
Thanks for the reply, right now i'm not near my Hackintosh. But now i remember that did that with Clover Configurator, the problem is that I edited the config.plist that is in the Macintosh HD, you know the one in the folder Macintosh HD>EFI>CLOVER (Or something like that) that is in the same place that Applications, Library, System and Users folders. I did that because apparently Clover Configurator is only mounting a EFI partition that is from the Recovery Disk, and I'm not quite sure why. Anyway I'm going to check this out as soon as i can.
 
I created the bootable usb key with clover installed, but when I boot on the USB key, I have the Apple logo with the white progress bar that loads during 15 minutes and then I have a black screen and nothing more .

I really can't say too much because i'm a rookey too....but maybe my config file can help you !!!
Attached...
I use this config. that i attached... i7 6700K / 16gb ram / nvidia 1080 gtx ... (High Sierra)

Ok Thank you so much
I Think do a Fresh MacOS Sierra, and update to High Sierra after.
 
I have two Western Digital drives that no longer work in High Sierra, really strange, they both get "Unable to write to the last block of the device" errors when trying to format. No other issues with the 5 other drives in my system. Not sure what kind of SATA controller my Asrock Z75 Pro has.
 
Hey Amblin thank you so much apparently I though that EFI was other EFI (A little dumb thing because that was the only HDD that was connected to my PC). Anyway thanks High Sierra is running smooth.

Did you try AppleAHCIPort.kext (or the Clover patch in the file comments)?
 
Care to share your experience with Z170X firmware trouble? I'd love to know what I'm in for...

Cannot tell too many interesting facts ... I had to remove one pair of memory modules and the graphics card to boot into the firmware screen, then did all the known corrections there (including setting memory to XMP profile), then had to figure out how to correct the old Sierra config.plist settings within the Clover boot menu, as High Sierra boot got stuck every time ... I needed at least 20 reboots to get to a successful boot, then finally arrived in macOS, changed all the relevant settings in config.plist, and had many more reboots to refine it. Strangely the USB works fine with the old uia-exclude-setting, whereas none of the newer methods worked.
I don't like that childish looking "racing" interface of the new Gigabyte firmware, but still I would recommend it highly:
1. There are no excessive boot entries anymore.
2. On F5 I couldn't get my 6700K below 1100 MHz idle – on F22a it's 800 MHz. (Could be due to OC before, though.)

On High Sierra I removed all the rubbish, as I do always:
iTunes, iBooks, Photos, Maps, Messages, Notes, Reminders, Stickies, Time Machine.
And – as I am radically boycotting anything from Microslut and Oracle: I removed every file containing "Microsoft", "Oracle" and "Java" (not Javascript!), mainly located in various /Library or /System/Library folders, as I have to do after every update or upgrade, and also from some applications, namely LibreOffice, within their packages.
Now I feel "clean" again. :)
Though, I still haven't found a way to replace the disgusting Microslut FAT format of the EFI partition – any ideas about that?!?

After updating, I can't boot my hackintosh. I have done the copy paste of FakeSMC and apfs.efi. When I press boot Mac from my SSD, it only shows the Apple logo with a progress bar for only a second, and then it restarts.

Any help?
