Motherboards I could successfully install macOS High Sierra 10.13

[cmn699]

I was able to install and run macOS High Sierra ( along with various earlier versions of OS X) as Multi-boot with Windows and Linux on the following Motherboards:

• GA-Z270X-Gaming Ultra https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ming-i7-7700k-intel-hd-630-radeon5450.239427/
• GA-B150M-DS3H
• GA-Z97X-UD5H For Screen shots: #222
• GA-B85MDS3H
• GA-X79-UP4 the hardest MoBo to install macOS High Sierra https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ion-on-ga-x79-up4-i7-3820-radeon-5450.247634/
• GA-Z77X-UP5-Th
• GA-Z77X-UP4-Th
• GA-H77-DS3H
• Intel DH67BL
• GA-H61M-HD2

In all the motherboards, EXCEPT GA-B150M-DS3H, I had already installed macOS High Sierra Beta and then upgraded them to macOS High Sierra 10.13 using the downloaded macOS High Sierra 10.13. file either using the command Tonymac has posted or directly clicking it.

For GA-B150M-DS 3H I did a fresh installation using a USB installer created using the Terminal Command ( Tonymac has posted it) and the latest Clover EFI Bootloader downloaded from the Net and some kext files from RehabMan's bucket.

I want to specially thank RehabMan and Toleda for their great work and contributions to Video and Audio in hackintosh without which I could not have done what I have been able to achieve.

I have uploaded relevant screen shots of installation using USB installer in the system with GA-B150M-DS3H motherboard.
I have also uploaded a table of my main hardware on all the 7 systems I have been able to upgrade to macOS High Sierra.

Hope the images may help those trying to install macOS High Sierra or Sierra on Motherboards with Intel Chipset 100 or other systems.

Of note , I was unable to successfully install AMD Radeon 5450 on GA-Z97X-UD5H while installing High Sierra but had no problem with Sierra 10.12.6 and prior versions. I had to use the Integrated Intel HD 4600 in that system.

Hi, I have a GA-z97x-ud5h, 4790K and a Nvidia GTX260.
Macos Sierra runs flawless but, for the 1st time since Yosemite, I can't start the clean install of High Sierra from USB nor the upgrade from Sierra (following tonymacx86 post).
Could you please describe me your clover settings for a clean install ?

I am sorry I missed this post for help. To add to this delay, I had accidentally reformatted the USB installer I had painstakingly created after so many failed attempts to install macOS High Sierra because of strange and incomprehensible errors like:

• "macOS could not be installed on your computer" "An error occurred while verifying firmware" "Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again".

If I change any of the ACPI options and boot again, I would then get a different bizarre error.

• "macOS could not be installed on your computer".The path /System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg is missing or damaged" "Quit the installer to restart and try again"

This happened even after re-downloading High Sierra " and checking its shasum finger print to make sure I have the authentic installer in full.

I found others have experienced the same error but no one has come with a fix!

After many random trials I finally installed the system without my Radeon Graphics card and with just the Intel HD 4600 Integrated Graphics . I was totally exhausted after a 72 hour marathon troubleshoot and towards the end of that I accidentally cloned the wrong Flash disk on to the Golden disk I had made after so many changes. Luckily my system was fully updated by that time and is working OK.

I am uploading the Compressed CLOVER from my System Disk's EFI folder. I hope that will be helpful to you.

I am also uploading relevant images from Clover Boot Manager Screen and System Reports.

When I get a chance , I will do another fresh install on a blank drive and this time take photos concurrently to document all the steps. Unfortunately it won't be useful to you as I have to wait for a couple of weeks to get enough time to spend on that project.
Good luck with your System

Thank you very much for your help, I'll try to merge your settings with mine.
I'll let you know...

Hi cmn699. I too have been having problems installing High Sierra on my GA-Z79X-UD5H. Using your Clover files, I was able to successfully complete a clean install, thank you so much.

Hi cmn699. I too have been having problems installing High Sierra on my GA-Z79X-UD5H. Using your Clover files, I was able to successfully complete a clean install, thank you so much.

Thank you very much for your feed back; I appreciate your kind respone. I am delighted to read you could install High Sierra on your System with GA-Z97-UD5H-BK and Intel core i7, NvidiaGT750ti.

Were you able to install your NVidia GT750ti?

As I mentioned in my post and shown on screen shots, I could not succeed to install and use my Radeon 5450 2GB Graphics on this MoBo and could only enable its IGFX Intel HD 4600: I have successfully installed MacOS High Sierra Radeon on several other MoBos without any issues.

Hi, @cmn699

I have a system with the same specifications as your fourth machine (Z77-UP4-TH, same processor; my graphic card is a Nvidia 650 Ti) and I'm having serious problems to update it to High Sierra from 10.12.6.

I've tried almost every method: direct update, use a customized bootable High Sierra Installer and even using a real Mac to install High Sierra from there in an external SSD. But nothing has seemed to work.

Could you please help me get it? I would be very thankful.

Thanks in advance!

I spent a considerable amount of time getting High Sierra installed and had it not been for your files, I was on the verge of giving up and reverting back to Sierra! I decided to keep it as simple as possible and for the time being stick with the Intel HD 4600 graphics. When I get time, I will attempt to install the nvidia card and will update you with any progress. Thanks again.

I successfully installed High Sierra upgrade from Sierra removing my GTX260 Nvidia card and using HD4600 only.
Then I removed from SLE NVDAStartup.kext, installed old NVDAStartup.kext from El Capitan, and started Clover flagging inject Nvidia and NvidiaGeneric.
Now it works
