macOS 10.13.4 Update

[mm2margaret]

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!

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?

I have had the total opposite. Each update has borked my machine since El Capitan to Sierra to High Sierra and all the incremental ones. I've spent days between each of them. But every HS incremental update has just worked for me somehow. I might have just jinxed it now.

Anyways, you know your USB hex keys? They don't look anything like mine. I've used the same patch from the first post. I don't know if that has anything to do with your verbose output. I can't read much off that output. My hex are - find 32DDAA and replace with 32D5CC. I am not sure if Clover automatically changes it or should they be the same between all machines.

Easiest is using Clover Configurator.

• Open your config.plist in clover configurator.
• In left hand pane select Kernel and Kext Patches.
• Now in big white box, bottom right click on +

A new line will be created.

1. Under Name* - com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI
2. Under Find*[HEX] - g32UDw+DlwQAAA==
3. Under Replace*[HEX] - g32UD5CQkJCQkA==
4. Under Comment - USB 10.13.4+ by PMHeart (or anything useful that will remind you what this patch is all about)
5. Under MatchOS - 10.13.x
6. Don't write anything else. Save your config.plist

Restart.

Having a flickering display after updating (Full GPU Acceleration and using Intel GPU)
Graphics appears two times in system informations. Any Suggestions ????



Sound works. (USB Audio)

same issue! I've also got iGPU appearing twice, although mine is HD630.
If you boot your computer into safe-mode, it works normally... but thats only a temporary fix.

The next Clover should fix IGPU appearing twice.
