Seems we have effectively bricked our motherboards! Let this be a lesson to others. Thanks for letting me know.
  • You can reflash with the Old Version of BIOS you had previously on that board and see if you can fix.
  • The steps are the same as you used to upgrade the BIOS , except you have the old Version of BIOS on the USB Disk.

I wish it were that easy, or that I’m just being stupid.

I have downloaded all of the old versions from the Asus website. Selecting any other than 2012 result in a message stating it is not a valid BIOS. I can repeatedly apply 2012 though. The manual suggests you cannot downgrade versions.

I hope you can tell me I’m wrong.

  • If Asus Manual says it cannot be downgraded, I would take their word for their product.
  • I don't have any Asus in my collection of Hackintosh Systems.
    • I remember using Asus long time ago for Windows but stopped them altogether.
    • To me, Asus MoBos are less 'friendly' toward Hackintosh and I use only Gigabyte Motherboards.

  • It's sad, now you have to use it exclusively for Windows only, right?
  • Is Windows booting from a separate disk?

  • Did you try to install macOS High Sierra and see if it will install?
 
@dufays, please update your profile (account details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card(s).
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard.

I wonder if there is not a novelty in the settings of this new version of the bios to change. I tried again a clean installation of 10.13 and 10.14 and it always blocks at the same time. Whereas everything worked very well before
 
Hi. I have the same issue, it's my first build and i have the same motherboard with an i5 8400, i updated the BIOS recently. When i boot the "external" drive with clover, the Apple logo and a progress bar appears, it's fullfilled in aprox 20 minutes and it's all, after waiting several minutes nothing happens. Could you find a solution for your problem?

Thanks for your attention. Greetings.

Sorry for my English, I'm Mexican.
 
Yes, we have an identical problem.
I’ve spent a lot of time trying different BIOS settings but nothing seems to make any difference.
Currently trying to get Asus to tell me if I can revert to a previous BIOS version. Apparently you can use CrashFree BIOS 3 to revert, but I cannot identify how you launch this. It would appear to only work if the existing BIOS is corrupt.
I’ve even tried corrupting my existing BIOS but cannot even manage that.
 
Any update on this? Unfortunately I did the same mistake.
Before all worked well and the same. Neither installed osX nor installer from usb is starting.

I tried to downgrade bios to previous version 1404 but the asus update tool is telling me "no proper bios"...
 
Sorry, missed the second site of this thread.
But still there must be a way out for this...
