[Solved] Can not booth High Sierra without a Installer USB inserted

[kmozart]

Hi

My configuration:

GA-Z270X-UD5
Core i7 7700K
EVGA 1050Ti


I have completed my hackintosh, Installing software and plug ins for 3 days (Pro Tools System) and now I accidentally clicked on the "Add Clover Boot option to all drives"!!! ‍


Now I can only start my system if the installation UEFI USB is selected first in Booth Menu, then selecting my High Sierra Drive, system boots normal. If I start from High Sierra, I got to a "stop sign". Here is included my config.plist

Can anybody help me resolve this? Being searching for hours, but I actually don't know what the problem is,..

Would be a pain to go over and install everything from scratch...

I had it working for couple of days, installing software and all, then now,

When I try to boot in verbose mode, this is what I'm Getting:

Then computer shuts down!

Any Help will be greatly appreciated!

The answer is on the screen.
MAC-F227BEC8 is an iMac8,1 which fails to meet the minimum spec to install High Sierra.

Thank You! YOU ARE THE MAN!

I was "seeing it" as 18.3! Dizzy from the installation. ...
It works the start now, Only thing i can not get back is my NVIDIA web driver! Worked flawlessly before! Originally I installed lily.kext and NvidiaGraphicFixup.kext with kextbeast to library/extension, rebooted, then installed WebDriver-378.10.10.10.20.109.pkg and everything was fine on the next reboot.

Must've messed it up somehow...
Here is my latest config!

Thanks!

- Now boots -v mode,
- I think now my USB 3.0 is fixed (front port 3.0 was not working, now it is)
- Nvidia still not on the web driver.
- Shut down still don't work. (was not working before)

I was trying to eliminate the issues one by one; Audio was working before (works now too), NVIDIA Web video was working (now it does not), Shut down was not working, and I was hopping to get thunderbolt going..

Thank YOU!

Nvidia still not on the web driver.

Probably because your motherboard does not support native NVRAM so you should emulate it.
Install EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts or install AptioMemoryFix and OsxAptioFixv3.

If you are still booting from USB you should mount all of your EFI partitions then delete the /EFI folder and contents from them all. Now install Clover onto the one which you wish to boot from. Copy the config.plist from the USB to the EFI partition.

Great! EmuVariableUefi-64 fixed it! I got web driver after the restart!! Yay!!

I'm just confused how it worked before without it!

Booting from the High Sierra since the iMac8.1 to iMac18.3 fix!

Next on the list:
- Shutdown (important!)
- Thunderbolt (Huh!)
