I am running Mavericks and am trying to get High Sierra to boot on another HD 1T SSD. I have tried several times with the same result on different thumb drives a 16meg and a 32meg. The unibeast made the scan disks with no problems. I do not know why I have this problem...any thoughts would be a help

Have you tried just updating over to it using the app store?
 
Did not work, just grey screen and whirling icon

And you tried to boot off of a USB and it didn't work, correct?
 
Check that you have FakeSMC.kext in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.
After installing OS on the scan disk with UniBeast 9.1 when it finishes the EFI folder is in the desktop and clover Kexts other has a series of empty folders 10.7,10.9 etc. I have tried leaving the folder there and putting it in the install disk. FakeSMC.kext does appear in my Mavericks HD. One of the other problems is I can not enter bios at startup as clover takes over. It does give me the option of starting from the Install Mojave scan disk but hangs at the end.
 
Started over today with High Sierra and ran into the same problem, stall at end. Downloaded HS from the mac store, did the install quit installer app and did Toro86 terminal patch.
Unibeast 8.3.2 compiled on a 16 gig scan disk. Booted with clover 4522 but I am thinking the problem might be with clover. Attached is the boot log, maybe someone can help me, please as I have been at this a week with no progress.
