Update(02/02/18): Updated to 10.3.3 via AppStore. Had to reinstall Audio Driver (Audio ALC892) with Multibeast.
Update(15/02/18): Updated Lilu to 1.2.2, Whatevergreen to 1.1.5. DVI-Port on Radeon HD7770 works again.
Update(23/03/19): Was finally able to check DisplayPort: Signal Output works, Display Rotation 90°/270° does not as opposed to HDMI.
Edit(12/02/18): Attached config.plist.
The most glaring problem I encountered was making the Radeon HD7770 work through the installation process. With Sierra it used to work with Verde. With High Sierra I had to switch to Lilu and Whatevergreen. RadeonDeinit as a boot option did not solve booting into a black screen.
## PC Specs #
- Mainboard: MSI B75A-G43
- Graphics: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHZ 1 GB DDR5
- SSD: Crucial BX100
- Chipset: Intel B75, Ivy-Bridge, 7er Series
- Processor: Intel Pentium Core™ i3-3220
- Integrated Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 2500
- Integrated Audio: Realtek ALC892
- Integrated Network: RealtekRTL8111
## Missing Features
- DVI-Port on Radeon HD7770 (solved by WhatevergreenUpdate 1.1.5)
## Used Tools, Kexts and Features ##
- Unibeast
- Multibeast
- CloverConfigurator
- Lilu
- Whatevergreen
- no APFS Convert
- PowerManagement with SSDT (working sleep/wake on Radeon HD7770, no audio loss after wake)
- TRIM
## 1. Preparing Bootable USB ##
1. Follow steps 1&2 from High Sierra Installation Guide
- backup your system
- download HighSierra from App Store
- create a bootable USB with Unibeast
- choose: UEFI Boot Mode, NO injects for graphics
2. Add necessary components to bootable USB
- drag to your completed USB drive: MultiBeast, CloverConfigurator, Lilu.kext, Whatevergreen.kext
3. Install kexts to bootable USB
- mount **USB** EFI partition (with CloverConfigurator)
- copy Lilu.kext and Whatevergreen.kext to /EFI/ClOVER/kexts/Other
4. Set boot flags on USB
- with CloverConfigurator load **USB** config.plist
- add Boot -> Custom Flags: “-lilubetaall” “radpg=15”
## 2. BIOS Settings ##
- load Optimized Defaults (Settings/Save & Exit/Restore Defaults)
- disable Windows features (Settings/Advanced/Windows 8 Configuration/Windows 8 Feature)
- disable IO Ports (Settings/Advanced/Super IO Configuration/serial + parallel)
- boot from UEFI only (Settings/Boot/Boot mode select/UEFI)
- set Integrated Graphics Adapter as primary graphics adapter (Settings/Integrated Graphics Adapter/IGD)
## 3. Installation ##
Make sure you have a display connected to your Integrated Graphics Adapter. Your Radeon HD7770 will work from the onset, but your IGA will be set as your primary display. Thus all dialogues and windows in the installer will be shown on the display connected to your IGA.
1. Boot from USB
"Boot OS X Install from Install macOS HighSierra"
- DiskUtility -> Erase Disk with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) / name: HighSierra -> exit DiskUtility
- Install macOS
2. On system reboot boot from **!!!USB!!!**
"Boot OS X Install from Install macOS HighSierra"
- (you can skip this step if you don’t want to prevent APFS conversion)
- from the menu choose: Utilities -> Terminal
- “/Volumes/Image\ Volume/No-Convert”
- reboot
3. Boot from HDD
"Boot macOS Install from HighSierra"
- into Apple Logo Installer
- Country Selection, Keyboard, iCloud, User Account, etc.
4. System Boot
If you want your Radeon graphics adapter signal to show on your primary display you need to set this up via System Preferences.
- System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement
## 4. Post Installation ##
1. Install Multibeast
- choose: UEFI, Audio ALC892, Network RealtekRTL8111
2. Install kexts to main HDD
- mount **HDD** EFI partition (with CloverConfigurator)
- copy Lilu.kext and Whatevergreen.kext to /EFI/ClOVER/kexts/Other
3. Set boot flags on HDD
- with CloverConfigurator load **HDD** config.plist
- add Boot -> Custom Flags: “-lilubetaall” “radpg=15”
4. reboot
## 5. Further Features ##
1. Power Management
- change SMBIOS in CloverConfigurator
- with CloverConfigurator load **HDD** config.plist
- SMBIOS -> iMac13.2 -> save
- reboot
- generate and install a SSDT.aml file as explained in Quick Guide to Generate a SSDT for CPU Power Management
- reboot
2. Enable TRIM on SSD
- Terminal: “sudo trimforce enable”
Enjoy your High Sierra Hackintosh!
