jwp2222, the systems with the Z170 (Z170X) chipset does not sleep normally at 10.13. This problem has no solution.

I found this thread today while troubleshooting USB issues on my GA0-170X-UD3 Ultra running High Sierra 10.13.2. Ran the script and placed the generated files in the correct location. After a restart all of my USB ports are now working with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Thanks so much for making this as simple as it could possibly be!

Hey guys, I've been trying to upgrade my rig to High Sierra from 10.12.6, but every time I I run the installer and it restarts and I select the macOS install partition in clover it runs, gets halfway and restarts and essentially keeps doing that. I can boot back into my Sierra partition afterwards since nothing has been touched. Wondering if anyone has had the same problem upgrading and how they solved it.

My rig is:

i7-6700k, ga-z170x-ud3, rx480.

@akash227, update the clover and third-party kexts.

@akash227, update the clover and third-party kexts.

I updated clover to the latest, the only 3rd party kext I use is for the rx 480 which is Lilu.kext and whatevergreen.kext I think and those haven't had an update, and the injectallusb.kext

Edit: I apologize for being ignorant, I had an older version of Lilu and whatever green, everything works now, the only question I have is when I boot into clover I have an extra option that says boot into FileVault?? It leads me to my Mac as well as my regular option jw why it's there

For anyone interested in what's involved in upgrading from sierra to high sierra on this mobo, all that was required for me was to wipe my efi partition then do a fresh clover install with emulated nvram(dunno if this mobo supports native nvram? better safe than sorry since I needed nvidia webdrivers).
I had a spinlock kernel panick until I wiped the efi partition to kinda start a fresh and recopy over the old kexts that were working previously.
After installing clover fresh, copy over all the pre-existing kext's from the sierra install in kext/other from the old efi(also enable kextinject in your config.plist).
After that it's working great on 10.13.6 including sleep functionality.
I've attached my kext's incase anyone wants them.

Hi,
I finally updated from 12.6 to 13.6 following this thread.
Passed the Black screen of updating Clover, I manage to install system updates, no problems on this side.

My issue : My GTX 1060 is no more seen by the system (in About this Mac or the Nvidia Driver manager). I'm unable to use the web drivers, only system drivers (with flickering)

Any hints on directions to fix issue ? uninstall reinstall driver, EFI partition/kext, bios setup...

Edit : Copied back my backed up drivers64UEFI missing files. Every thing is back to normal
