Update Directly to macOS High Sierra

6. At Clover boot screen, choose Boot macOS Install option (Example: Boot macOS Install from Macintosh HD). Choosing your system drive will go back to your previous installation without updating.

7. Complete the installation process- the computer will automatically reboot a few times.

8. At Clover boot screen, choose Boot macOS option (Example: Boot macOS from Macintosh HD). The computer will then complete the update.

Every time it reboots during step 7 I have to tell clover to boot to macOS Install, how do I know when step 7 is done? In other words, how do I know when to stop booting macOS Install and boot macOS?

Everything seems to work well with the upgrade [HFS file system]. I have to unplug one monitor (dual headed) on boot up though.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Figured it out: Set clover DefaultBootVolume to LastBootedVolume and it'll take care of itself. Also another thing, if you're using MacPro5,1 as your system identifier like I was, that just doesn't work for some reason. Use iMac14,2.

I had an Audio Problem:-


Problem with Realtek ALC 892 – no internal speakers.

Run Multibeast and selected – Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALC 892, installed and restarted macOS High Sierra. I now have internal speakers

I have a fully operational macOS High Sierra.
Many thanks for the help.

Anyone have any luck installing the supplemental update? It just keeps rebooting on me.

I have the same issue. Anyway i have two install both of them went well but only one of them notify me about the update.

I have the same mobo and cpu and dropping MATS and DMAR tables worked for me.

Yeah. I added droptables to config.plist and changed CSR to 0x67 on Clover Configurator. It finally went through install! I now have High Sierra installed on my system.

Hi. I downloaded OS High Sierra from the App Store but the installer becomes 'not responding' when I run it. What should I do?

I tried doing a direct update and when I boot to the MacOS Install, it loads about 90% and then hangs. Any ideas?

ETA: I've added my verbose results
