bd4utonite2 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hi bd4utonite2, i cannot reach the installer. After the clover boot selection i choose the install high sierra from the other usb thumbdrive but i only obtain a reboot also in verbose mode nothing is displayed. How did you managed to get to installer ? regard Micro Hey Micro.... Just follow the instructions in #1. This is what i did to get to the installer...... 1) Bios Setting..... see thread #11 2) 2 USB Setup to get to install screen..... a) 1 usb [2gb] formatted as MBR Partition Layout and FAT32 Partition Format. Install with the latest Clover BootLoader with the setting shown in thread #20. Choose a Customize install and not a Standard install to make sure your setting are correct. 1 usb (8gb0 formatted as GPT Partition Layout and HFS+ Partition Format. Create the High Sierra Boot USB with the terminal command shown in thread #13. Be sure you name this USB as USB2 if not change the terminal command to suite the name of your 8GB USB 3) Post Install.... As per instructions in thread #1. But Clover install to internal hard disk is as per 2a [thread 20] but you need to add select "Install Colver in ESP". Please refer thread #32 attached jpeg for settings... Note you have to tweak the EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched to make sure your system boots from the internal HD. If you are having problems boot with the initial USB [2gb] created in 2a. Once you get to the Desktop of the internal HD.. you can mount the HD EFi and tweak your EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patchedj until it works. Please see thread #33 Good luck bd4utonite2... PS.. it is up to theOpSis to do a revise guide... I am not the originator of this hack... and pre and post install tools did not come from me. I could not possibly answer what was done with the DSDT patching etc..... but i will try to help you in anyway i can here..... But besides that I have a working x201 with High Sierra thanks to theOpSis...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOpSys Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 @bd4utonite2: I have asked you about HWMonitor to know if your speedstep is functional, meaning that your CPU is working on different frequencies or not (not the temperatures was the ones I was interested in), which if it does, then you don't have to worry about SSDT#2(if I remember well, that was the trouble making one). Thank you for your active support on this subject, next days I will update the guide with the precious infos you have provided and I will credit you as you deserve.

bd4utonite2 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hi TheOpSis... Did you update your HSierra x201 with the 10.13 Supplementary Update? I did it just now and it broke the machine... Graphics has been affected!!! What is your way to overcome this..... Regards Bd4utonite2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOpSys Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Until now, only iTunes updated for me, I didn't get any other updates from AppStore. If you can reach the OS, but you don't have QE/CI, just reinstall the video kext, if you can't reach the OS, use the USB stick with the EFI-to reach installer to boot into macOS and reinstall the graphics kext.

bd4utonite2 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hi ... The Supplemental Update installed after I took your hint to boot up with USB.. When I did that it finished the installation. So if you do the update as well .. please note halfway through the update.. it will fail and show you what looks like 4 screens in 1 screen... If you boot with USB then the installation will complete...... After that.... the system will boot up normally without the USB... Regards bd4utonite2 PS.. no need to reinstall the Graphics kext...

TheOpSys Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 I have High Sierra installed on my device for about a month now, but I didn't get any 'Supplemental Update', the only official update coming from AppStore, as I said, was the iTunes one and my macOS High Sierra version is 10.13.

bd4utonite2 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hi.. The updates coming thru the App Store should be Supplemental Update and iTunes... Something must be wrong with ur App Store??? But nevermind you can download the update from..... https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1937?locale=en_US Regards.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 31, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2017 Instead of using 2 usb for installer, I use 1 USB and install Clover with the same settings as the SSD. I don't have an X201 but I do have a T410s with the 1st gen HD Graphics. The FB kext attached by OP doesn't work for it since it has a higher resolution 1440x900 So no QE/CI for now. Can't fix the rest of the issue until this is resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
