[Guide] HP 6200 Pro / 8200 Elite SFF Desktop - macOS Sierra / High Sierra Install Guide

[trs96]

sorry, I am using Sierra, and I did create my own 2500k specific SSDT using the steps within the guide.

I used a GT 210 via HDMI to test for this guide and never experienced any KP. I also never needed to use the Nvidia web driver either. So this may be something specific to the 710 and Sierra. Could you create a 10.13.4 Unibeast installer and test that out ?
You can use UB 8.2 but just remember to do this https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/unibeast-8-2-and-macos-10-13-4-workaround.249081/ after you've created it.

Man, not sure what i'm doing wrong here, as I've done a few Hackintoshes before, i keep getting an error when booting from the High Sierra USB i created with Unibeast, i've attached a screencapture. I couldn't find any help searching these errors and redid the USB a few times now.

That's not an error - It is just verbose from the APFS - Quite normal.

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you

Thanks, i've updated my profile.

When i boot from the USB, after the error i've shown, it goes to the clover menu, but no option to boot from the USB into the Installer for High Sierra.

Thanks again for your help - I have the option now to boot from the USB however it keeps going to the apple boot logo, with progress bar, then appears to load into the installer, but goes back to the apple logo with a quicker progress bar, then into this macOS Utilities.

When i go to Reinstall macOS, it says Recovery Server could not be contacted

I plugged in my ethernet cable and it is doing an install now, I guess it is just downloading the OS again, this seems very strange.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the help so far, when I went through the High Sierra Install video on page 1, after the 2nd reboot, it goes right back to the macOS Utilities page, offering me to reinstall macOS or go to disk utility again.

It's basically an install loop, any suggestions?

You're probably booting from the Unibeast drive (external) instead of pressing the right arrow key once to boot from HFS drive icon at the CBM. That's the only reason I can think of to cause that.

I am starting from scratch again, when i first enter the macOS utilities and go to install High Sierra, i have to be connected to the internet, is this normal?
