[SOLVED] Complete EFI file to work High Sierra on mobo GA-Z270M-D3H

[avtonn]

Hello for all.

I have been trying to install macOS High Sierra for days using mobo Gigabyte GA-Z270M-D3H without success. I found on the internet an EFI file that works, but I can not install the operating system on my external USB 3.0 hard drive (does not appear on Disk Utility):

I currently use the macOS Sierra installed on my external USB 3.0 HD perfectly with "Gigabyte GA-Z270M-D3H Hackintosh Build Guide" found on the internet. Can anyone help me to install the macOS High Sierra on my external USB 3.0 hard drive?

Regards.

Have you tried Tonymacc86's guide here

My thinking is as long as the Install macOS High Sierra app and the Clover app allows you to change you target drive to your External USB drive, then TM86's method should work for you ?

It did not work for me. However, I'm newbie ... I just need to know what I should do to make my external USB HD appear in the Disk Utility of the High Sierra installer ...

Please update your profile page to show your motherboard, CPU and GPU to the rest of us.

I'm confused.. You already have macOS Sierra running perfectly fine from External USB3 on your machine, yet Disk Utility does not display it?

- Can you see the external drive in the Terminal when running the command diskutil list

- What happens if you plug your External USB3 drive into a USB2 port ?

You can enable Disk Utilities Debug mode which will give you more options than what you can normally access, here's the link for how to do that

Try following this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...on-200-series-with-kabylake-processor.218494/

It's not smart to simply copy and paste someone else's EFI folder. If you don't go through the process of the full install and post install you don't learn anything. The High Sierra Unibeast and Multibeast versions will be out shortly, stay tuned.
