[Solved] Updating from Yosemite to High Sierra unable to boot after working for a while

[vulgo]

What I don’t get is why this trim problem is just coming now, it used to work fine for weeks.

Boot seems to slow down over time. For SATA drives disabling TRIM might help.

I also tried the "sudo trimforce disable" command line from the Recovery partition and USB installer Terminal but returns a "command not found".

Try from normal session

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleDataSetManagement.kext
sudo kextcache -i /

Thanks for your help but I'm confused about how I can get a "normal session" as I'm unable to boot on my installed macOS drive. Any suggestion on how to achieve that ?

Anyway I tried your command suggestion in Recovery mode but obviously get the same "command not found" returned.

Thanks !

Anyone for some help ? Just a link to a similar problem maybe ? It seems I can’t find any with APFS involved, guess i’m dumber than what I thought, lol.

I also can’t find how to boot from my bootable USB, or any way that would give me the possibility to get rid of that TRIM problem. All I see is reinstalling the OS and would really like to avoid this solution.

Thanks again.

Totally forgot about Single User mode, so tried that and vulgo’s suggestions but guess it’s still not the right place to write that.

Anyway, here’s a screenshot :

In your post #20, you stated

Managed to get rid of all non-HD entries, down to 3 HD ones, but when I reboot using Clover restart button, and go to the BIOS, everything is back, I have 7 to 9 entries.I can't find how to also remove those entries from the BIOS.

I would start the troubleshoot from there. If you could upload the screen shots of BIOS _Boot Option Priorities and upload the screen shots of Clover Boot Manager (CBM) screen, Options >Boot Args, and the other menus below Boot Args: , I will try to help you.

Thank you for helping!

I attached screenshots below and as they’re quite bad we can’t see the selected options most of the time, so here are the checked ones:

Binaries patching :

- Kernel PM
- Apple Intel CPUPM Patch
- Apple RTC Patch

CPU Tuning :

- Enable C6

PCI Devices :

- USB Ownership
- USB Injection

Clover Boot Options :

PciRoot (0x0)\Pci(0x1F,0x2)\Sata(0x4,0xFFFF,0x0)\HD(1,GPT,0F478E27-ADD5-443B-BA56-759E5281263B,0x28,0x64000)

Note that I also asked for help on ****** yesterday and since I can’t boot in Single User + Safe modes someone told me that my only option was to make a new install. So I bought a new SSD this morning (with hope I could get back my iTunes library.xml of the corrupted SSD) and I’m actually working on a new bootable USB to install on the new one. But if it’s possible to repair the actual one I’d be happy with that.

Is your macOS High Sierra installed on the SanDisk SSD as shown in the BIOS_Boot Features Screen image (See edited image)?

• My suggestion is to make your macOS 10.13.X High Sierra System Disk with Clover EFI to be the first boot device and connected to SATA drive 0.(Currently you have your Optical drive (Plextor DVD-RW) as SATA drive -0)
• I would select all other devices one by one and DISABLE such that only your HS 10.13.X will be in the Boot Options Priority list.
• I would then, on reboot, freeze the Boot device Selection screen pressing F-12, to pick the macOS High Sierra UEFI disk to enter CBM screen to boot that in Verbose Mode to find why the disk is not booting.

I did not see the CBM screen shot showing the icons of available Bootable devices.
I did not see your Graphics Injector-> menu under "Options"
Other CBM screen shots are difficult to locate your Selections [check marks (√)] but seems to be OK

Okay so I disabled all boot options only to let the UEFI OS Sandisk on first option and on reboot had a few less boot options (1 or 2 I think) on Clover menu. I didn’t included the graphics injector as nothing was checked. I feel like the verbose isn’t much help but here are some screenshots :



Sorry again for the low quality pics, I guess the Cintiq screen doesn’t help.

Sorry, I missed your post.

The KP seems to be kexts related and Nvidia GTX 770 to be high in the list of possibilities.
