macOS 10.13.6 Update

[frontgear]

Latest Clover install for me does not have the custom install option. Thank you.

Are you sure you have the latest? I downloaded r4586 on 6/30 and it has the Customize button, and have just downloaded another copy just now to check and it still has the Customize button.

Did you select the install icon when the system rebooted for the first time after trying to install, you have to do this twice during the install process.

I never got an install option, just download from iTunes, select reboot, it reboots to a black screen where the installation progress bar is at the bottom, then it reboots back into OSX.

Hi,
Asus Maximus Impact VII. (BCM4352)
Updated via App Store from 10.13.5 to 10.13.6 and have a problem with BT ;( It stopped working.(Bluetooth: not Available).
It's very strange because when i install "combo" again BT works fine until i restart PC (tried two times with same results)
After restart PC BT not working ;( but WIFI works fine.

Any idea how to fix it ?

Thx

Anyone else got weird font issues?
Like render issues, it's hard to explain. Sometimes it looks like you write in Rainbow colors.

Same story with me spent more time due to Clover than the update itself.

Always check your EFI partition after a clover update, it tends to delete important drivers that will let you hanging after restar

Did the update, from start to finish was 11 minutes. Unfortunately, I now have the pink screen with the RX560. I removed the card and no more pink screen. I thought my troubles were over when I dumped the Nvidia card Anyone out there know of a solution? And no sound.

Sound is back, removed Lilu and WhateverGreen, still pink screen.

Tried RadeoDeInit, still pink

i indeed got the same card. what i did: i removed lilu and whatevergreen. also disabled radeondeinit and inject ati.
to get it working native: used smbios 18,3... and updated the board id, with a board id from smbios 14,2.
restart and all my problems are gone. Working great with 2 displays (one displayport, and one hdmi)
(there are two versions of this card. i got rev 1.0)

Issue seems to be with the DVI port. I just connected to my problem monitor HDMI/HDMI and no pink/purple screen.
EDIT: I’m using DP and HDMI on the GPU.

Did you patch the new apfs.efi? See this post.

I used this and has been perfectly fine since 10.13.4, no need to worry about manually copying the apfs file before each update.

To narrow down, you can try "com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI disable port limit in XHCI kext (credit PMHeart) 10.13.6":

Spoiler: for Clover/ KextsToPatch:

same patch from betas, confirmed by MaLd0n:

com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHC
837D880F 0F83A704 0000
837D880F 90909090 9090
disable port limit in XHCI kext (credit PMHeart) 10.13.6
10.13.6

Or like this in config.plist directly (posted by Kynyo):

<string>disable port limit in XHCI kext (credit PMHeart) 10.13.6</string>
            <key>Disabled</key>
            <false/>
            <key>Find</key>
            <data>
            g32IDw+DpwQAAA==         
            </data>
            <key>MatchOS</key>
            <string>10.13.6</string>
            <key>Name</key>
            <string>com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI</string>
            <key>Replace</key>
            <data>
            g32ID5CQkJCQkA==         
            </data>

However, that is just a work-around, as explained by RehabMan, see https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-creating-a-custom-ssdt-for-usbinjectall-kext.211311/

So I tried updating from my main working install, same behaviour as my other install and this time I downloaded the combo updater. Double click on the update, tells me to click restart, black screen, installation progress bar, barely moves for about 45 seconds, then the system restarts back into OSX, no update.
