IronManJFF Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 @yoyostring Just to be clear .. You have installed High Sierra but are unable to boot from it ? You are unable to install High Sierra ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyostring Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 High Sierra is installed and unable to boot from it. i verified the installation is good and was able to boot from it on a 2011 MBP looking at other post installation issues maybe it is Metal related?

IronManJFF Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 When you press F12 at boot ... Does it list your High Sierra SSD ? It should if it was not converted to APFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyostring Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Oddly enough, the my quo board will boot the SSD with the high Sierra installation on it now. The login screen appears and I’m able to login and it appears to be functional. Booting the drive on a MacBook Pro must have done something....

dwdrummer0 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I was able to upgrade to 10.13.4! For those having Legacy Shim panics, Its a bad kext. In my case, it was in S/L/E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwdrummer0 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) 7 hours ago, Casm101 said: Awesome, thanks dwdrummer0 Make sure you have a backup (time machine) of everything before you start this. So what I did was create a fresh install of 10.13.4 on my Macbook Pro, made a carbon copy clone of that partition then moved it over to a new partition on my hackintosh. Doing this bypasses APFS conversion. So now I have a fresh install of 10.13.4 along with my main 10.13.3 drive (2 partitions). If 10.13.4 doesn't boot then you have problems that I cannot fix. Now do the combo update of 10.13.4 from 10.13.4 and choose your 10.13.3 drive, update that drive. Then make sure you update both partitions with the 10.13.4 security update. Boot back into fresh install of 10.13.4. Now download EasyKext Pro. Go to your main volume and go to S/L/E, delete everything from there. Open EasyKext Pro and hit the advanced tab. Make sure your installing everything to S/L/E, make sure everything is checked then choose as target your main partition where you deleted S/L/E. then go to S/L/E from fresh install and drag all kext's into EasyKext Pro and install. This is what worked for me. Edited May 10, 2018 by dwdrummer0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you can get another partition up with Sierra, these kexts should work for you to xfer over to your main partition. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p7WjJmhFtINVnS7iju32QOZOT5G5A-QJ/view?usp=sharing To my knowledge, the RX 580 should be no problem. Actually, Radeon cards are much better performance wise compared to Nvidia (IN MACOSX) and more compatible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALSO remember these kext are for the 10.13.4 update WITH Security update. They will not work if you just update to 10.13.4.

To install Sierra (not HIgh Sierra) 1) Flash ROM 2) Put Defaults.plist in /Efi/Oz 3) Clear NVRAM (Command-Option-P-R) 3) Install Sierra 4) Install Nvidia Web drivers Edited May 14, 2018 by IronManJFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @bezna, it really is as straight forward as IronManJFF puts in in his post, just remember to use the right BIOS rom, which IronMan has Kindly uploaded with the included APFS files, make sure your main drive is connected to the first SATA port (not completely necessary, but does help a lot), and ALWAYS REMEMBER to clear nvram after making changes to the Defaults.plist file. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Please update you build description so we can help you further if you ever need help with anything more complex.

IronManJFF Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) The H2N firmware does not natively boot OS X. If you have a El Capitan installed and working on it, it was not done the way it was meant to be for this board. Did you installed it yourself ?

bezna Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @IronManJFF yes i did that is the problem for me there is nowhere clearly step by step what to do "how to instal and osx sierra on QUO" can u explain step by step what i need plz? i see u have gtx970 will 10x0 work to?

IronManJFF Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 GTX10x will work, dont worry There are no guide because basically after you flashed the firmware and with the proper Defaults.plist, you just install it like a real Mac. So , you have a El Capitan that you want to upgrade ... Is it working ? or just installed ? plz tell me how you did install it ... Clover ? Multi-B.... ? some other way .. we might have to clear some left-overs that will bite you in the butt... If it is installed and working, what does it believe itself to be (About this Mac) ? All these other drives beside the WD 500 (El Capitan) .. what are they for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronManJFF Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 .... Sorry I misread ... H2N not F2N H2N can boot El Cap but not Sierra or High Sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
