serg992313 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hello. During upgrade from 10.12.6 to 10.13 I always get a panic. Do I need to do some special for normal loading of 10.13 (High sierra)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gymnae Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 For the time being updating to High Sierra should not be undertaken by those who are not deeply into Hackintoshing. If you struggled to follow this guide, you should refrain from upgrading now. Give it a month or two, you are not missing much. It's an old teaching of the Apple world to never ever upgrade to a .0 release, but always wait for .1 or even .3 - this is even more true for Hackintoshes. So unless you know what you are doing and are willing to invest time and knowhow, just wait a couple of weeks or months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwin_c Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 This is very clearly a problem with the USB side of the Type-C port. You may be best off waiting for goodwin's Type-C solution. The Verbstub commands are just checking the headphone jack for something plugged in once a second, which is by design. I have fixed this issues. Will post details on Monday. Running on High Sierra atm after successful update from 10.12. And yes - this is USB-C related problem on High Sierra, and very annoying one. But still can't figure out what the hell is going on with Thunderbolt - somehow macos doesn't want/can't communicate properly with NHI (so it doesn't handle plug/unplug events and pci-e bridge reinit). But i have solution for proper enabling TB on each reboot P.S. Sorry, can't post all fixes so quickly now as things are messed up atm on my configuration due to different changes TB related, to try/test/debug. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaberest Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi guys, I had to format and do a fresh install, I was a bit out of sync with your updates but I had solved the temperature and fans issue. Now I tried to install with the latest BIOS but had to give up and downgraded it to the previous 1.2.0 (had issues even with 1.2.18 and 1.2.21). Now the system works fine, apart for the internal mic that stops working after sleep, but my fans are always on and the laptop heats up pretty fast. Already checked if the nvidia is disabled and it seems it is. Will need to spend some time on it, I did the math to adjust the slide value but I was not lucky enough.

ferchizzle Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 A quick question. So high Sierra is not working with this laptop right now Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk @hackedwifi have you encountered any of the data corruption issues with not being able to set your Samsung NVMe SSD to a 4k sector size?

Nope, my partition broke after a windows 10 update and I had to install all over but it wasn't caused by OSX. I was able to backup my data using an Ubuntu live usb but clover couldn't boot the system and the installer was seeing just one partition. Never lost a byte anyway.

Had this after a big Win 10 update as well, which overwrote the EFI partition and kicked the partition table out. I was able to recover it with gparted from system rescue cd without having to roll back a backup. system rescue cd is really cool and helped me a bunch of times. it even allows to change, without data loss, to change mbr to gpt, resize partitions etc and best of all it's FOSS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr. baltazar Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hi all.. I have a successfull Sierra 10.12 install running.. I tried to update to High Sierra and after I run the installer, the computer restarts (as expected) but when I choose the install partition in Clover, it hangs at the Apple logo. If I boot in verbose, I get a kernel panic. Please see attached photos. Thank you for your help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Anyone using macos 10.12.6 with 1.4.0 BIOS? Is there any problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gymnae Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 well, everything works fine with the latest BIOS Weird, I updated from .29 to 1.4.0 an since then I can't boot into the GUI. During boot and after the Apple logo's short flicker to change resolution, all I see is a spinner alternating with the short flickering of a blinking cursor very top left. This goes on forever. Verbose boot also doesn't yield any idea. Downgrading to 1.3.0 and 1.2.29 doesn't return to successful boot to GUI Is everyone's system running fine with 1.4.0? No changes to config or anything required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krim404 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 updated the tutorial on github for High Sierra (10.13.1) https://github.com/wmchris/DellXPS15-9550-OSX/blob/10.13/Tutorial_10.13.md works fine. Upgrade: remove everything from /Library/Extensions/ create boot stick with the files from the tutorial install on top of existing 10.12 installation move old clover folder on EFI drive to clover_old follow the rest of the tutorial like on a fresh installation also can confirm: update of the firmware to 1.4.0 is working without any problem @gymnae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the update process, once you install over the old system, after the restart it stalls at kextd stall 'AppleACPICPU' I created the install usb with createinstallmedia from High Sierra app but it wasnt booting after installing clover. For anyone that may come across the same issue, make sure that the entry in BIOS is pointing to the /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi and not /EFI/CLOVER/CLOVERX64.efi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Amazing news! As I saw the "darkwak=1" boot flag is missing. Is it fixed or should I edit the config.plis in order to turn on the screen automatically when I open the lid? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krim404 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 how to get brightness keys working? see step 7. same procedure as on the old tutorial. nothing changed. Amazing news! As I saw the "darkwak=1" boot flag is missing. Is it fixed or should I edit the config.plis in order to turn on the screen automatically when I open the lid? Thanks! i never required this flag, so i didnt add it. if you have the problem: just add it.

th3_v0ice Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) I actually am using your files, what else could i use I can get into installer no problem, it finishes its work in 5 minutes and then after reboot I am greeted in Clover with 3 options, Boot OS X Install from Install macOS High Sierra, Boot macOS Install from Macintosh HD, Boot macOS from Macintosh HD. I believe I should choose the Boot macOS Install from Macintosh HD? But it stalls with AppleACPICPU. I copied all the files from Your repo and it didnt work. After I tried adding AppleACPIPlatform.kext from some other guide. Now I am stuck Thank you for all the help!

God damn it, why is my machine always that special snowflake. I do have the feeling it's telling me to wipe, patch for 4k and reinstall. But that means creating an image of windows and bla bla bla no time. Well, then no macOS on my notebook until the christmas break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing from Cloverx64.efi to bootx64.efi does unfortunately not work either. Doing a clean install. 4k sector, extended journal, GUID, with prepared empty partition for bootcamp. Any more ideas?

After I tried adding AppleACPIPlatform.kext from some other guide. Now I am stuck Thank you for all the help! a fix i found in another forum: I had the same problem. Then I took the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from the system library Extensions and copied it into the EFI, Clover, kext, other folder, just to see if I could get past that kextd stall. And it worked. High Sierra completely installed. I then took the AppleACPIPlatform.kext out of the Clover folder. Hope this works for you. most fixes on the web suggest reinstalling clover. another idea: is it possible you guys are using the i5 xps version?

th3_v0ice Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) I tried reinstalling clover, this time booted up from cloverx64.efi, but it still stalls at the same place. Tried putting the AppleACPIPlatform.kext on usb EFI but it still stalls at the same place. Redownloaded the image, created the USB drive again, same error. most fixes on the web suggest reinstalling clover. another idea: is it possible you guys are using the i5 xps version? Mine is i7, same as yours, just samsungs nvme. Judging by the description Lockzi left he is using one too.
