Thanks @Stork, you just answered the question I have not asked here yet, which would have been do we know when High Sierra will be ready for a UB/MB install. I'm waiting on some cables and power extension cables but I hope to finish this weekend. Still not sure which way I should go on the OS but I am in no rush.

Without installing FakeSMC a hack wont boot due to no SMC Controller.
Kexts should be installed to L/E.
Kexts that are placed into EFI/Clover/kexts/other are only for booting into the Recovery Partition or Installers.
Kext injection via the Bootloader is not a good idea. However inject kexts should be set to Detect.

Thanks. One learns every day on TonyMac86.com!

Next study-object: getting the most out of my laptop. I have started to study RehabMan's laptop guide(s). They posess a steep learning curve for me. One of the things that puzzle me, in general, is the need to patch DSDT's and SSDT's to "byte-handling". Is this because Clover's processing of DSDT's and SSDT's is byte-oriented? If so, would it be thinkable to have a Clover-8 and a Clover-32 which differ in an 8-bit and 32-bit DSDT and SSDT handling. Thus eliminating the need for those numerous and seemingly trivial byte-conversion patches and leaving only those patches that "really do something"?

4. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and type the following:

Code: 
/Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --converttoapfs NO

Hello! I am trying the non apfs install and have run into an issue. After accepting the license agreement and typing in my password, I get the error:

Code: 
Error: could not get authorization...

I use a regular account for most of my work but also tried

Code: 
su admin

with the same results. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gerry

Wow, thank you so much to the amazing Admins and community members here. This guide to directly update from Sierra worked to a T. Could not be happier with my hack. The only thing that doesn't show is my 4790k overclocks to 4.8 Ghz. Keep up the great work!

Hey - could you share your EFI folder with me? Our set ups are almost identical and I am having a few issues. Basically, when it tries to boot into 10.13, I get through the Clover screen to the apple boot screen with progress bar. The bar progresses about 3/4 of the way and them my machine reboots (reboot loop). I tried verbose and safe mode, and neither helped. I am about to try again and take a pic of the screen in verbose mode to see where it stops before the reboot.... Regardless, I thought I might take a look at your refi folder and config file to compare to my own to see what I am missing or have configured wrong.

It is so unfortunate as 10.12 was flawless on my set up...

so I followed the instructions for update, and everything is going well but I feel like the installation is getting stuck at 85%, no matter how much i wait it just stays there

Just from some experimentation on my part, I think it has to do with the nvidia web drivers. But that is pure speculation because all was fine until I installed them. I will keep trying though and report back with any findings. Thanks for the efi folder - I’ll look at it when I get home tonight.

I'd wait until UniBeast and MultiBeast for High Sierra so you can install High Sierra the easy way. UB/MB should be ready by week's end.[/QUOTE]

I am sure alot of peoples prayers are going to be answered with Unibeast and Multibeast hehehe :)
 
UniBeast and MultiBeast will only help if you are doing a clean install. If you will be upgrading, you won't need either.
