Got it figured out! For some reason my boot order changed and my computer was trying to boot off my secondary drive. Not sure why my secondary drive has clover bootloader installed on it though. Once I changed my boot order to the correct main drive, I saw the MacOS installer boot option...

Trying to update directly (no usb) from Sierra to High Sierra. Following the Direct Update method posted on this site. But when I run the High Sierra installer there is no loading bar or time, it seems to immediately want to reboot once you select what drive to install too. After the reboot...

Gave up on this issue and did a fresh and clean install of Sierra. Way smoother! Couldn't figure this issue out, but at least I got to where I wanted to go.

I have not. I just booted into the Sierra disk from USB stick and installed Clover. Recopied USB EFI folder and copied it into EFI folder on Sierra disk. Restarted machine and let it try to boot off Sierra disk. No luck again. Same results with same kernel panic.

Thanks for the response! Yes, I am able to boot Sierra on the disk by using the Sierra USB stick. But occasionally I get the prohibitory symbol when trying. But I just swap usb ports and eventually it will work. I copied the EFI folder from the Sierra USB stick to the boot disk and no dice...

Wanting to update my Hackintosh from Mountain Lion to High Sierra. Trying to see what the best way forward is. Don't really want to start from scratch. Looking to just do an simple OS update to my machine. Specs: -GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H -i5-3570K -EVGA GT 640 (upgrading to Sapphire RX 580)...

Heads up and nevermind! I got this accomplished with Clonezilla. It was super easy! Definitely my to go for future coping and cloning!

Hello, I have an old 10.8.4 Hackintosh I'm trying to get ready to be updated and I'm needing to clone the boot drive to a bigger SSD. I know CCC can't copy the EFI to the new SSD and I've tried several of the tools around here but haven't had any luck. I've tried EFI Mounter v2 and v3.1...

Any ideas???
