Follow Rehabman's excellent Clover UEFI installation guide to prepare a Clover macOS High Sierra installation USB.

A stripped down config_installation.plist is included in the Clover directory of the repository at https://github.com/the-darkvoid/XPS9530-OSX/tree/10.13 in order to boot the installation USB.

Hi,
I have some trouble to boot on the high sierra installation...

- My bios is patched, and all settings are as mentionned in the #1 post.
- I follow the instructions from Rehabman's Clover UEFI installation guide :
- I formated my USB disk in GPT mode
- I downloaded and installed Clover (the Rehabman's version)
- I added "HFSPlus.efi" to the /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI folder
- I only put FakeSMS.kext and VoodooPS2Controller.kext in the kexts/Other folder (there is only Other in my kexts folder)
- I choosed config_HD4600_4400_4200.plist and rename it to "config.plist"
- I taken the config_installer.plist folder and put it my EFI/Colver folder
- my DVMT-Prealocate is set to 128 mb in bios
- I used the high sierra boot disk with the createinstallmedia method

I'm not able to boot at all.
When I'm using config.plist (config_HD4600_4400_4200.plist), there is no KP or message but I'm stuck on a blackscreen with a caret on the top left of the screen. Nothing happens.

When I'm using config_installer.plist, there is a KP which appears.

I don't know what to do, and it's seems I'm the only one which encouter an error during installation loading.

May someone which installed macOS High Sierra may please tell me how he prepare is USB Key please ?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry for my late reply.
For right now I have a lot of work, but I succeed to launch the high sierra installer, so I put here my solution because it could be usefull for another one :
I downloaded High Sierra from Apple Store, but the version was the last one : 10.13.2.
This version is not compatible with the lilu version supplied (1.2), and it's need to update to 1.2.1.

Thank you RehabMan, I didn't seen that part.

Yes, It's working

The only think which is not currently working for me is the Broadcom BCM94352Z card, but I will find a way.
But I don't have to much time to spend on this.

[Edit ] Just added FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext as mentionned in the following post, and WIFI is now working :

Hi,
Wifi is working, but downloads are extremely slow.

I notice that there is no FCVO patch need for BCM94352Z; but is there a 5 Ghz patch or a AirPort Extreme patch for 10.3 ?

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but I know that downloads was really fast before I move on High Sierra.

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks !

No 5ghz patch needed for 10.13.
And Airport Extreme patch never needed when using FakePCIID kexts.
There is a country code patch for 10.13 that may be applicable for outside North America.

 

[mopi]

ok, thank you for your answer

Updated from 10.13 to 10.13.2 (I updated aps.efi to 10.13.2 and lilu.kext 1.2.2 BEFORE launch the combo 10.13.2 update)

Repatched DSDT to fix glitch.

Now, I reach 400 Mbps in download and 200 Mbps in upload.
