1st Post!
I have a MacPro 5,1 and the firmware upgrade is preventing me from installing high sierra. Because I have a Non EFI graphics card (I have a RX480).
So I have read the posts of this thread and I need to download clover.
I need to install clover?
then I need to edit the clover config.plist *which is where?"
SMBIOS is a part of the config.plist?
-and I'll change those strings, and save it...
Then It should by pass the firmware check?
Thanks- and all apologies for needing the NooB handholding. If I know what and where these things are I can edit them all... I got my RX480 to work pre high Sierra. AND created a hackintosh years ago from knowledge gained from the good people like yourselves at this site-...
-Cheers

Apple during the High Sierra Beta released a firmware update for the Mac Pro 5,1 to allow it to boot APFS volumes. The installer checks for this version and will display a message like this:

To get around this you need to edit your Clover config.plist to contain the updated version information.
Under SMBIOS change BiosReleaseDate and BiosVersion to the following:
Code:<key>BiosReleaseDate</key> <string>08/08/17</string> <key>BiosVersion</key> <string>MP51.88Z.0084.B00.1708080528</string>
