macOS High Sierra is Now Available on the Mac App Store

[aka80]

I created the bootable usb key with clover installed, but when I boot on the USB key, I have the Apple logo with the white progress bar that loads during 15 minutes and then I have a black screen and nothing more .

I really can't say too much because i'm a rookey too....but maybe my config file can help you !!!
Attached...
I use this config. that i attached... i7 6700K / 16gb ram / nvidia 1080 gtx ... (High Sierra)

Ok Thank you so much
I Think do a Fresh MacOS Sierra, and update to High Sierra after.

I have two Western Digital drives that no longer work in High Sierra, really strange, they both get "Unable to write to the last block of the device" errors when trying to format. No other issues with the 5 other drives in my system. Not sure what kind of SATA controller my Asrock Z75 Pro has.

Hey Amblin thank you so much apparently I though that EFI was other EFI (A little dumb thing because that was the only HDD that was connected to my PC). Anyway thanks High Sierra is running smooth.

Did you try AppleAHCIPort.kext (or the Clover patch in the file comments)?

Care to share your experience with Z170X firmware trouble? I'd love to know what I'm in for...

Cannot tell too many interesting facts ... I had to remove one pair of memory modules and the graphics card to boot into the firmware screen, then did all the known corrections there (including setting memory to XMP profile), then had to figure out how to correct the old Sierra config.plist settings within the Clover boot menu, as High Sierra boot got stuck every time ... I needed at least 20 reboots to get to a successful boot, then finally arrived in macOS, changed all the relevant settings in config.plist, and had many more reboots to refine it. Strangely the USB works fine with the old uia-exclude-setting, whereas none of the newer methods worked.
I don't like that childish looking "racing" interface of the new Gigabyte firmware, but still I would recommend it highly:
1. There are no excessive boot entries anymore.
2. On F5 I couldn't get my 6700K below 1100 MHz idle – on F22a it's 800 MHz. (Could be due to OC before, though.)

On High Sierra I removed all the rubbish, as I do always:
iTunes, iBooks, Photos, Maps, Messages, Notes, Reminders, Stickies, Time Machine.
And – as I am radically boycotting anything from Microslut and Oracle: I removed every file containing "Microsoft", "Oracle" and "Java" (not Javascript!), mainly located in various /Library or /System/Library folders, as I have to do after every update or upgrade, and also from some applications, namely LibreOffice, within their packages.
Now I feel "clean" again.
Though, I still haven't found a way to replace the disgusting Microslut FAT format of the EFI partition – any ideas about that?!?

After updating, I can't boot my hackintosh. I have done the copy paste of FakeSMC and apfs.efi. When I press boot Mac from my SSD, it only shows the Apple logo with a progress bar for only a second, and then it restarts.

Any help?

It would be useful to add some information after booting with "-v" boot parameter (verbose mode), but what you describe may just be a kernel panic. I had the same thing after upgrading. The update finished, but then I couldn't boot my Mac anymore. After booting into single user mode (-s), I looked at the panic log files in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports and saw that the panic caused by a leftover kext for the Intel e1000 network adapter. After removing it from /System/Library/Extensions, I managed to boot into the preboot partition that was created during the upgrade (not my original mac partition). And ONLY THEN could I boot into my regular partition. Everything was just fine from then (installed nvidia web drivers etc.). One thing that bothers me is that the preboot partition still exists. I guess i could delete it but I don't care too much for it.

I upgraded with a 1080 card installed, didn’t have to disconnect anything.

Successful update procedure form Sierra to HS. Though I admit it was more of a pain than I'd have expected, probably due to my NVIDIA setup.

After (forgetting to) transferring the FaceSMC.kext to the Clover kexts directory, I had the installer hang on the spinning wheel for a long time (Verbose mode reported it hanging on the WindowDriver, infinitely trying to restart it after stopping in 0 secs). Turns out (for future note, even if it was mentioned before) that if you have ANY NVIDIA cards connected, even when using the iGPU, you HAVE to disconnect/disable ALL discrete GPUs (So Clover cannot see them) before installation can begin.

After that roadblock, installation went smoothly. Rebooted twice, installed the Web Drivers update, reinstalled Multibeast drivers (mainly for audio), and it works!
