Hello!

I have macOS Sierra on my Hackintosh for about two years now.
It was stable and all but I decided to upgrade to High Sierra and I found that I could do it with just a regular update like normal mac users instead of a clean install and a do-all-over again from scratch. So I prepared for the OS update by updating Clover first and then copy/paste the "apfs.efi" file to /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ as the installation guide said. (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/update-directly-to-macos-high-sierra.232707/)
Then I downloaded High Sierra from the app store and as long as it was done, I closed the PC to continue the installation today.
But today when I got the usual clover boot screen with the HFS and the RECOVERY choices, I chose the HSF as always and I got a black screen where nothing was happening!
I tried to boot from recovery, same thing!
I made a bootable USB with Unibeast and High Sierra installation .dmg in it, from a friend's macbook, I pluged it and chose that so I can erase and clean install but again I got the same black screen!
I have made a back up so I don't have any problem to erase and clean install the disk but I don't know how to format a disk from clover's UEFI shell (if that's even possible) or how can I go into disk utillity from clover or something else!
I would much appreciate any kind of help!

Thanks in advance!
