macOS High Sierra - Final Release is out! (17A365)

1) Don't touch UEFI options if everything works!

2) If you do, use -x -f and rebuild kernel cache, because it is corrupted

That's a very useful hint.

 

Thanks buddy 

I will answer to myself, maybe it helps someone down the road:

1) Don't touch UEFI options if everything works!

2) If you do, use -x -f and rebuild kernel cache, because it is corrupted

 

Are you using an nvme drive?

I get a boot fail on my 960 evo after any changes. The SSD is always good though. Exactly the same EFI. Now I use the EFI from my 850 evo (backup SSD) and the 960 as boot drive.

Another thing, I went back the the Mac os extended format and the boot times are way quicker, plus it plays better with clover.

No, I am using Samsung 750 EVO SSD.

 

I was trying to experiment with CSM option (without fully understanding it) to get the full resolution in bootloader with my Asus Geforce 210. The next morning I couldn't boot from my SSD or USB with an error message I've never seen before (6 years of hackintosh "experience"). After countless hours of trying different things and failing, I tried booting with "-x -f" and got to the macOS. Then I repaired kernel cache and everything seems to be fine for now.

 

My APFS is very fast, the improvement is noticeable over HFS+, I am very happy with it so far.

Hm could be my cpu/motherboard then. What clover version?

just tested one and a half hour sleep without problem  

I'm getting instant reboot from wake... back to digit I guess.

Hello,

 

I have installed an NVME disk on my Macbook Pro 15 retina (late 2013). It is recognized by the system with no problem.
But as my original SSD disk was broken I couldn't first install in an internal drive and as a consequence I didn't get the Firmware upgrade.

I really need the firmware upgrade as I want to boot from the NVME disk.

I have tried running the post_install scripts that are inside the FirmwareUpdatePackageExpanded folder of the HighSierra installer but I get the following error:

"usbcupdater[1291:52855] Error reading plist: No files to support boardID: Mac-2BD1B31983FE1663"

Does anyone know a way to have a Firmware upgrade on macbook without installation on the internal drive?

Regards,

Pedro

We can confirm NATIVE XCPM Power Management for Skylake-X i7-7820X and i9-7900X under macOS High Sierra 10.13 SU with SMBIOS iMac17,1          

.13 not .13.1 beta?

 

No Kernel, Kext Patches?

no xcpm KernelToPatch entries and no ssdt.aml or ssdt_xcpm.aml injection... yet FakeCUPID and CPU Type.... with my i9-7980XE I still need the ssdt.aml to make xcpm work at all... and yes 10.13. SU not 10.13.1..

try an old clover version... I mean before auto patching feature

Why should I do that? I mean with ssdt.aml, XCPM with my i9-7980XE works absolutely flawless. It was just surprising to me that with the i7-7820X and i9-7900X, ssdt.aml seems not necessary to make XCPM work at all.. However, I admit that the guys did not test yet further implications when omitting the ssdt.aml with the latter processors. Power nap and the correct association of C and P states might not properly work in the latter case... We have to see and test to know further details....

Slice made option to can use manual kernel patch and fakecpuid. Enjoy

I Sherlocks I am trying to understand why patches I use with rev 4128 do not work with rev 4251 and also I would like to understand if I also automatic fakecpuid is removed as features (ops you say yes also for this)

 

In this thread I was replaying to KGP-99 because his "vanilla" rig..is Clover Vanilla auto patching related! :-)

Still not work on 4251? I dont know your conversation with KGP-99. just inform clover now disabled default autopatch. Its good news to have problem like you.

Concerning FakeCPUID it seems that one can either use  '05606E4' for all Skylake-X processors without any further implication or '0560654' with xcpm bootstrap. However, the Skylake-X CPUID of '0560650' (suggested by Pike Alpha) seems not to work at all. 

 

While on all other Skylake-X CPUs  '05606E4' properly implements the main CPU characteristics in Apple's System Report (About This Mac), with the i9-7980XE I just obtain the following (see Overview.png)...

 

Although under "Hardware", the i9-7980XE seems properly implemented (see Hardware.png) 

 

@Sherlocks, do you know how to fix the "About This Mac" CPU unknown error for i9-7980XE?

You say NATIVE XCPM

it is not vanilla but it is related to auto patching feature in new clover before some devs listened our request to have the chance to eliminate xcpm auto patch

 

 

for now I can't boot with rev 4251 with usual patches I use in 4128

to boot with 4251 I have to flag Kernel XCPM

Strange.

Did you set cpu type in config.plist?

 

If you want to use 'i9', maybe we have to wait imacpro release.

Yes: "0x0a05", which in principle works for all Skylake-X processors...

0x0a05 shown i9 processor? Or shown xeon?

 

Edit1. Aha you setted 0x0a05, but shown unknown.

Hmm..

 

I think this is cosmetics. Untill release imacpro, recommend 0x0a02 if you dont want to use 'unknown'

The "CPU unknown" issue only appears with the i9-7980XE... 0x0a05 else reveals for all other Skylake-X processors the proper CPU characteristics (frequency, cores, etc.. ) in "About This Mac", but indeed also all other Skylake-X CPUs appear as "XEON" instead of "i9"...

Okay. Good info. We have to wait imacpro smbios data.

Thanks.

Not so bad for cosmetic, DWYOR..!!! 

Your core's CPU number is not present in a real Mac so for now you can only fake that data in about my mac

If you IE have a 12 core or less also unknown for real Mac you can 0x0xxxx to see 12 core xeon or similar

 

o.k. I see but if you have a processor with more than 12 cores the cosmetics don't work, right?

and this is cosmetic you can apply

 

And how one can apply thus extensive cosmetics? Detailed instructions please!!!!

I did not read it at all   Can you please provide a link ?

Search here and then if you use in other forum...:-)))

 

change CPU name in this site

I actually give the link, not sure if U missed it bcoz ur mach is too fast, or ur internet.. even with my old phone I could click it hah haaa
