Well, I did it. For fun, I'll lay out snags and reasoning, as an average hackintosher, hope it helps someone
I was running my hack for 6 years.
- Downloaded combo dmg. Checked first post on tonymacx86, noticed new apfs.efi
- Put new apfs.efi to EFI partition of OSX boot drive
- Installed combo package, rebooted
- Clover picked change of boot volume to Install from Preboot, I let it boot. Installer rebooted at ~ 20% of progress bar
- Boot was now defaulted to Macintosh HD, I let it boot and it booted into old, not updated OSX.
- Restarted and selected Install from Preboot, installer went into graphics mode, just to show me pretty window, that MacOS cannot be installed, something about missing data. Uninstalling Nvidia drivers did not help.
- Fearing the worst, I read all thread messages. Noticed many references to Clover v.4509. Downloaded, run, updated.
- Re-run combo package, reboot
- Clover booted to Install .. by itself, 5 mins, reboot - Clover tried to boot to Mac HD - override to Install - happiness - it picked up - Install will take 40 minutes . It rebooted.
- Tried to force boot from Install again, just in case - got crossed circle sign.
- Reboot to Mac HD - gray window with additional progress - graphics window with iCloud questions, - done.
