Update Directly to macOS High Sierra

[SamuelJacob]

UniBeast and MultiBeast users-

MultiBeast 9.2.1 is incompatible with APFS drives, but works with HFS+. We will be releasing updated versions of UniBeast and MultiBeast and a full UniBeast installation guide in the near future.

is MultiBeast still incompatible with APFS drives? I'm trying to get my Series 6 w/ GTX680 to work on High Sierra with a SSD formatted to APFS.

MultiBeast v10.4.0 for High Sierra works, and that's the version you should be using. See the Announcement's Notes on audio.

Fantastic! Thank you, Stork.

"Boot macOS Install from Macintosh HD" is left over from your previous installation (unless you're installing). Just select "Boot from Macintosh HD" (or something like that).

During the installation for Sierra & High Sierra, the installing process boots three times:

- Two times from "Boot macOS Install from..."
- Last time from "Boot from Install Drive" which is your "Macintosh HD".​

Hopefully, that answered your question.

@Stork, I appreciate the reply. But I’m still getting the same issue. I try to run the downloaded “Install MacOS High Sierra” that was downloaded on my machine from the App Store, but cannot get to the Clover screen on the initial reboot that is required. Every time, it takes me past the BIOS screen, to a black screen with a blinking cursor and my motherboard gives an “AE” code.

Any further advice would be appreciated.

Did you follow the procedures in Post #1? If so, please open a thread with your problem in High Sierra Desktop Support as this thread is not a help thread. TIA.

I've followed the instructions multiple times over and still cannot get this to be successful. I've started a post in High Sierra Desktop Support linked here. Any chance you could point someone to it to offer advice?

FWIW: My monitor is connected via HDMI 3 port on my EVGA GEForce GTX 1060.

Thanks in advance!

Do you need a USB stick to do the Direct Update? It says in first post no USB creation needed but mine boots up with out showing macOS install drive.

No, you do not create a USB install drive for a Direct Update. Download the update from Apple and run it. It will reboot your computer a few times, booting from an install partition it creates during the update process.

Is it still possible to get a High Sierra install somehow? I need to update from Sierra in order to update XCode but I don't want to use Mojave due to the missing NVidia drivers. But High Sierra is not in the App Store anymore..
