macOS 10.13.4 Update

Just gave up with the flickering with a HD 630 and ordered a dedicated graphics card (RX 560). Seems to be the only way for me to get a flicker free UHD screen.

Updated from Apple Store, on last reboot I got stucked on
IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockstate 3, hs 0, bs0, now 0, sw 0x0
Found the reason on intel video card. I reinstalled lilu.kext and intel gpu fix from Multibeast and everything is working fine again.

only issue so far iTunes crashes, it works whenever it likes but that is not new that has been this way since forever Lmao..

Just wanted to let you know, I was able to fix the itunes crash. Download Shiki and put it in your clover kext folder. I've attached the kext for you.

I got screen flickering since last Sierra update, due to color depth changes from millions to billions. Cause my monitor can't handle that high resolution. I solved this SwitchResX, a little utility which cost about u$s20

Well, my good luck with upgrades finally failed me. I have an epic fail on my hands when I tried to upgrade from 10.13.3 to 10.13.4.

As you can see, my system boots to this place and stops dead. I've tried different boot loaders, but I don't think that's the issue. I think it's something to do with USB, in fact, I'm sure that it is. I've applied the new apfs.efi, the new USB patch, but it stops dead right here.

View attachment 322861 View attachment 322862 I got this after installing the 10.13.4 update from the Apple Store Updater... Before restart, I updated a bunch of kexts, FakeSMC, NvidiaGraphicsFixup etc. The update went fine, but cannot boot to system, please advise, thanks!

try disabling your IntelMausiEthernet.kext

I can't make out what the verbose screen says but if you believe it's USB related, you can try using the old UBS patch or creating SSDT for USB. Another thing you can try is using a USB2 port because I've seen some people say that 10.13.4 made them lose USB3.

I'm so sorry... I'm very new on this. And I don't know how to apply patches. Can please someone explain me how to apply this patch? Is it with clover configurator? Thanks.

@ elko-ymail:
Are you sure that in 10.13.4 the color depth is set to more than 24 bit?
