macOS 10.13.6 Update

Updated. Process:

- 3 reboots (around 38 minutes) but it took only 3 minutes with my M2.
- After all, Nvidia web drivers *.129 are not compatible, so updated to newest version *.130. Rebooted again.
- After reboot, black screen (it always happens to me, I don't know if there is a problem with my graphic card or what), so don't panic: forced turn off, turned it on and, at Clover options, unmarked Nvidia Web Drivers.
- Patched with AGDPFix (sound was off too).
- Rebooted again, doing nothing (marked or unmarked), and everything is fine.

This is how I do.
I know there are another methods, but this works perfect for me. Perhaps is a little bit longer, but if it works, I don't care.

EDIT:
I also enable Trimforce in Terminal. Perhaps is unnecessary, but I do just in case.

Hi, I am at build 17G7024 and downloaded WebDriver-387.10.10.10.40.129.

Can you help me in what order should I update my system? Previously I have done all updates using iGPU. But now I have NVIDIA GPU, I don't want to be stuck in a black screen.

Sorry I didn't see it.

1st update always the system. Once updated, apply Nvidia Web Drivers (is not necessary to download them, just open Nvidia preferences from 'System Preferences' and update from there).

Black screen always happens to me, but don't worry:
You must force turned off. Then turn it on, and in Clover 'options screen, unmark Nvidia Web drivers. Once done and rebooted just patch it with AGDPFix. It reboots automatically. After reboot all will be as it should.
 
Updated from 10.13.3 to 10.13.6 using Apple Combo Update.
No hickups, nothing needed to be updated, seems to run flawless.

Hi any USB and APFS patch needed with 10.13.6 Supplementary 2019-004 updates???

No. Just update your hackintosh kexts and Clover from the Forum's Download section.

Hi Stork

May i know where is the link to download and how do i fix the USB 3?

APFS seems to work, USB 3 does need the fix. But you can just update and then fix USB 3

There is a menu "bar" at the top of this thread under the tonymacx86 logo that runs across the width of this page. The Download drop down menu is on the right in the menu "bar".
 
I am attempting to update my system listed in my profile from Sierra to Mojave and I am using an external drive to work out the procedures. I have been able to upgrade to High Sierra 10.13.2 on the external drive and am attempting to update to 10.13.6 (I will swap out my Nvidia card for a AMD card). I have tried both the app store 10.13.6 update and the 10.13.6 combo update and I get the same results. The update starts the install, asks to reboot, black screen with Apple logo saying that it is installing the update and then a reboot. I use clover to select the external drive and when I log it is still on 10.13.2 and the App store shows the 10.13.6 update as available. Just to be sure, I also tried to boot the Install MacOS option on that external drive and it told me it could not install.

Does anyone have an idea of where I am going wrong?

Thanks!
 
@ArmoredMac I think you might have to change your SMBIOS in clover. Mac Pro 5,1 does no longer work in 10.13.6. I use iMac 17,1 now. You might need to select another system (depending on your intel processor series) You also need whatevergreen kext and Lilu Kext if you use Nvidia (otherwise blackscreen at startup). Not sure if you need these with AMD card.

Huug,
Thanks for the response! I am currently using iMAC14,2 in my SMBIOS and for this process I have disabled the Nvidia web drivers, and I just using the default very low res drivers for the upgrade. I will check out whatevergreen and Lilu kexts; I have not used them in the past. Other than that, any idea why system is not updating? It can boot 10.13.2 just fine, but after running the update, I am still on 10.13.2.....

Thanks!
