Hi,
First of all I succeeded in establishing a high sierra, everything works smoothly, but I did it by upgrading. I want to do a clean installation but I am having trouble creating an image. Can you explain in more detail how you created the image? I have successfully write the high sierra with Dosdu1 utility, but the system does not see USB.
Hello,
When you say "trouble creating an image" you want to say with cloning the HDD/SDD as a backup? If this is the case, I used Clonezilla.
The way I created an installer for High Sierra (HS) it was using the Dosdude1 utility. 1st, I created a GPT-GUID USB drive; 2nd, I used the utility; 3rd, I installed on the USB Clover r4243; 4th, I copied kexts from Sierra's /EFI to it and booted from it.
Later, I realised I could boot from HDD/SDD Clover and do the HS installation.
Curiously, it seems HS doesn't delete and recreate (remake) S/L/E folder, neither L/E folder, so everything was running great.
In fact, I could boot HS using Clover r4049 with no trouble, although I have upgraded it to R4243, leaving everything as it was in the kext folder and using the same config.plist and SDST and so on.
Pros: WIFI much better.
Cons: You lose bluetooth, thanks to emlydinesh not releasing the source code of his BTFirmware...kext; battery status, not showing % by default, it upgrades when you reboot, the system wakes us from sleep, you need to untinck and tick "show percentage" under the baterry symbol in the status bar; finally, I have ELAN kext, from emlydinesh, too, and it sometimes messes up and I have to reboot to recover the control upon my trackpad, who goes crazy, although if I touch it carefully, it's not a problem (you know, emlydinesh has been promising the update of his kexts, BTF... and AppleSmart... from one year or more, but the update's not coming; neither, the source code of his kexts).
EDIT: Trackpad works ok if you tap on it, and don't click on it. Percentage of the battery is now showing right, maybe kexts were not loaded when I wrote this post. So, everything right, except BT.
In my case, WIFI is important, so I'm not going to roll back to Sierra.
