No, I did not remove it. Follow installation procedure. You have to use recovery procedure for first now if you got spinning wheel.

I still can't get High Sierra to install. Could you please send me a copy of your plist and which kexts you used to get it installed. Thanks in advance.

Amadeus, Please can you explain High Sierra Update a bit. Did you updated ole system or installed High Sierra from scratch?

I updated from Sierra.

I got an issue when running High Sierra, immediate wake after sleep. Amadeus, do you have any issues with sleep?

Well, Sleep never worked consistently for me. Same thing in HS. Sometimes it works flawlessly for a few times in a row. On other days the machine simply reboots after a few seconds of sleep.

But I never really took the time to track these issues down as I usually do not make my machines sleep anyways. Sorry to not be of more help here.

- config.plist > Boot > Custom Flags: uia_exclude=HS07;HS08;HS09;HS10;USR1;USR2;SS04;SS05;SS07;SS08;SS09;SS10

- /ACPI/patched/ssdt-usb.aml (custom USB2/3 port mapping made by hand)

I'm using the same mobo+processor and these kill my USB ports.

I solved this issue as well by replacing audio drivers with AppleALC/AppleALC: Native macOS HD audio method. Had to clean old audio install and app the new method. Sleep is working fine now!

How did you get sleep working? I've tried everything (in a High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D102) install) and can't seem to get it working. Did you set a darkwake bootflag? I had to use 'darkwake=8" to get sleep to work back in the day under El Cap. Are you using the FixWAK "NewWay" Patch?

I'm using the following kexts as well:
CodecCommander (no more audio loss after sleep/wake)
AppleALC (for ALC1150 audio)
Lilu
NvidiaGraphicsFixup

...and /drivers64UEFI/
apfs.efi
AppleImageCodec-64.efi
AppleKeyAggregator-64.efi
AppleUITheme-64.efi
DataHubDxe-64.efi
EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
FirmwareVolume-64.efi
FSInject-64.efi
OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi
SMCHelper-64.efi
VBoxHfs-64.efi​

Which Nvidia driver are you using? I used turtleguy's fix to install/patch the last Sierra Nvidia driver (378.10.10.10.25.106) because all High Sierra drivers are super slow/glitchy for me. Apparently I'm not alone. And benjamin.dobell has the following drivers blacklisted in his nvidia-update script:

(basically every current High Sierra driver)
387.10.10.10.25.156
387.10.10.10.25.157
387.10.10.10.25.158
387.10.10.10.25.159

Thanks!

That's strange. I have two almost identical Hackintosh builds and this works on both of them.

Do you not get USB 3.0 speeds if you don't use the custom USB2/3 port mapping and flags?

Re: USB , I'm currently only using:
- USBInjectAll.kext
- config.plist > Acpi: FixUSB
- config.plist > Kernel and Kext Patches: 15 port limit to 26 in 10.13 XHCI kext

...and everything seems to be working fine but haven't tested USB 3.0 speeds yet.

On an unrelated note, I discovered the following:
1) OsxAptioFix3Drv-64.efi without EmuVariableUefi-64.efi = Nvidia web drivers load
2) OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi + EmuVariableUefi-64.efi = Nvidia web drivers load
3) OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi without EmuVariableUefi-64.efi = Nvidia web drivers do not load

I noticed you went with option 1. Is there any advantage over option 2? Thanks

Update 2 (SSDT):
I added a custom SSDT. Had to download the Beta ssdtPRGen.sh as mentioned in the comments of Quick Guide to Generate a SSDT for CPU Power Management as the script otherwise was unable to recognize my CPU.

I think the script wasn't able to recognize the CPU because the hardware does not match the iMac14,2 system definition. I was able to generate a SSDT while using the iMac17,1 system definition.

That's strange. I have two almost identical Hackintosh builds and this works on both of them.

...after some more testing, it turns out that only my front USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports were disabled (internal USB headers).

You need to properly adjust(you can only have 15 ports) and map the usb ports on your hack. See Rehabman's excellent guide on this site for more info.
You can't just copy someone else's settings unless you have exactly the same setup(mobo, case, wifi/bluetooth etc).
Otherwise you will have some/lots of weirdness.
