Hmm.. "An error occured while updating firmware" what's this?

 

[Stork]

This beta probably has a Mac/iMac/MacBook firmware update(s). You should be able to proceed after getting this error.

Can't get around it, I only get "can't be installed on this computer" and a restart option.. guess I'll have to change smbios? Using 15.1 now..

 

[Stork]

Try the install again.

Try the install again.

Tried a couple of times now starting the installation from inside Sierra choosing another disk witch has worked with the previous versions of the beta.. creating an USB installer now, hope that will work better.

Edit: I'm stumped.. tried all I can think of, latest apfs.efi, updated fakesmc, changed Bios Version/date in config.plist and I still get stuck on "An error occurred while updating firmware". Guess I'll just wait and see if anyone else runs into the same issue

I updated to Clover 4173 and can install now without firmware error, using 6,1 in smbios, there is a newer firmware in 4173 that works.

I also, had to update clover, my pentium was getting flagged after update, changed to clover 4152 form 4114 and boom I was in. Struggled for a couple of hours trying every boot argument and ACPI setting available. If anyone is having issues update clover and use your old config.plist and kext folders, it took 2 minutes to fix problem.

I was under pressure, I just picked up a Radeon Vega 64 video card and wanted the latest drivers from High Sierra. It brought native Audio via HDMI and Displayport to the card. Only fix needed is the name, its AMD RX xxx, but thats an easy fix.

P.S. If you still have trouble check your main partition for EFI Backup folder. Remove old version of clover and config.plist if anything is changed. If you choose RC scripts when installing new clover if you run it twice it will reload your backup EFI folder. Just be sure to check that your config.plists match.

No trouble, but I applied clover 4173 first.

With Clover 4173 my installation went well, too.
Before I had several issues: osinstall.mpkg missing, firmware update, etc.

What does not work, though, is installing clover to the main hard drive - the installation fails.

I'm on a legacy system. Can anybody tell me how to get clover installed?
