Not a fusion drive, let me update!

[adam1972]

I have a hackintosh with an PNY CS1311 240GB SSD. It's formatted HFS as the guide suggested. I decided to go ahead and update to 10.13.3 from 10.13.1. The updater seems to think I have some fusion drive and will not let me install.

Does anyone have any possible suggestions?

• In normal App Store update of 10.13.3, you will not get such an interface like the one your image is showing.
• The 1013.3 Combo Update prompts: "Restart Now ? .. or lists some other times to choose in the options.
• Then it reboots and in 2-5 minutes a progress bar shows >Screen disappears to restart> BIOS Splash screen with prompts >CBM screen > MacOS Install icon along with your previous version disk icon ( Recovery disk icon if you have not hidden it)
• It boos and continues the installation ( I always use Verbose mode to recognize any problem during all my installations).
• Once more it can reboot to complete the installation.

Based on the above, I would think your Update installation software has a problem.
I suggest removing that and go through App Store again.

Unfortunately the AppStore has no updates I can use...
I'm redownloading the combo update.. Hopefully I'm having delusions...
Nonetheless... I'd still like to know why I don't have the update listed....
Thank you for the help

• I am wondering whether your App Store Temporary Download cache folder has some corrupt files to be Trashed.
• What I have done once for a similar issue was to Trash the suspicious contents inside that folder using Terminal command.
• open $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.appstore/ [Press ENTER key] NOTE:You may copy and paste the above cmd to Terminal
• You have any concern about its contents, copy to another folder on your desktop, and then delete.
• Next try the App Store for updates.

See uploaded images of cmd on Terminal and its output in my system that has no problem with download

I was coming from 10.13.2 so find the approbiate Systemversion.

I also had the problem. What I did was changing the SystemVersion in the /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
from 17C2120 to 17C88 and then I was able to just install it normally. Somehow it believed I got an iMac Pro

No problems so far.
