So in the future I can restore as if it’s a regular Mac? Also, regarding the static/noise problem will updating lilu.kext work?

So my machine updated to 10.13.6 and I started to get static/noise from headphone jack (anyway, anything to fix this?) and I had Time Machine so I decided to boot into Recovery and back it up without backing up the EFI partition (didn't know that, I thought everything is backed up) and then I canceled the restore midway. Now apparently TM erased my whole macOS SSD and I do not see it anymore. How do I get it back to work?

Thank you.

Was able to proceed with the security update with nvdisable=1

So I got 10.13.4 running but if I decide to install security update 2018-001 then the installer hangs at kextd stall again. I guess some kexts need to be updated soon. 

Update: I compared my kexts with the one in here: 

 

 Turned out I got a few obsolete kexts. Updated them and all good. 

Jake Lo always rock!

Can you give a detailed process? I am stuck at 13.1 and can't go up to 13.4

Updated lilu, clover and FakeSMC. kext to no avail. But now the line before kextd stall says com.apple.IOGraphicsFamily instead of the one before.

I am trying to follow Hervé's guide here: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/333546-solved-stuck-at-kextd-stalln-240s-appleacpicpu-can-not-enter-system/?tab=comments#comment-2606109 

Attached Clover folder for review.

CLOVER.zip

Core storage is fine. Screenshot attached. 

Turned out my installer is 13.1 and I could run 10.13.1 fine but I can’t update to 10.13.4. Got stuck at the kextd stall 0 thing

 

Any ideas?

Found a way to add it from Windows. All good now

Thanks. How do I add it please? Any idea how to access that folder?

Hi all,

I decided to update to 10.13.4 from 10.12.6 by using the App Store update. After successfully installing the OS the computer rebooted and...my whole macOS SSD disappears on the Clover loader. What caused that and how do I fix it please? 

This one is for 10.12.6 which I think should work fine. Also, regarding the USB, make sure you enter the right domain name in Clover Configurator for the patch. I fixed mine so I attached the screenshot as well

Thanks, 

I just don't understand Step 3 under Firmware Features. What should we change that value to? 

 

Let me rephrase this: 

1. Make the installation media
2. Copy my current bootpack with the generic EFI, and update the config.plist file
3. Install
4. perform post install steps

Hooray!!!!! Everything is back! I can see the light again!

On a side note, I need to install lilu and nvidiafixup into /s/l/e by whatever reason (last time I mismatched the versions of those). I will have black screen if they are put in c/k/o.

 

One more question: if I want to upgrade to High Sierra can I just install it from the update? 

As far as I understand:

 

1. Install the update High Sierra

2. Find the apfs.efi file then copy it into Efi/clover/drivers64UEFI

 

Tell me before I hit the damn button 

Let me try that. It was strange, my system was fine until that update. Also noticed today my wifi went “no hardware found” when I boot with -v,-s and -nvdisable=1. It was fine last night but not sure if it was because I updated Clover

By the way, I tried removing lilu, nvdiagraphicsfixup and fakesmc from /S/L/E and /L/E. No more boot loop but black screen for now

here you are:

 

Archive.zip

I was able to boot with -v -s and -nv_disable=1

 

Updated lilu to 1.2.1 and nvidiagraphicsfixup from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvidiagraphicsfixup/?source=typ_redirect

Updated Clover as well. Still stuck in boot loop. Any ideas?

 

I am thinking of doing a 10.13 clean install if all fails. If that's the case, what should I pay attention to compared to 10.12? Should I remove the Windows SSD before reinstalling? 

I am having 1 SSD for hackintosh, 1 SSD for Windows and 1 HDD for data in my M4800

That’s what I am thinking about Lilu. Can you guide me how to update that please?

About fix header clovers patch, I haven’t heard about that so I will assume no

I was updating from an earlier version of Sierra. Pretty sure this update is for the Spectre/Meltdown patches. I don’t know how to stop the machine from rebooting so here’s a video.

Hi all,

Long time since I've post, as my system has been running fine. However, I recently updated to 10.12.6 and got stuck in a boot loop. Did a quick search and I suspect that the outdated version of lilu.kext could be the culprit. Tried to boot with -liluoff and got black screen. 

 

Can anyone help me to get back on? Please be a bit detail as I am still a newbie.

What I am thinking is creating a USB Clover loader then mount the EFI on the hdd and update the kext, is that correct?

Thanks all.

Just another question, although I know it's not really important: How can I make the WiFi indicator light on? The Bluetooth one lights up normally but the WiFi is off 

Has anyone tried updating to High Sierra? If yes, could you tell me if it can be done as smoothly as with a MBP? Can I just download and install it then apply the bootpack?

Thanks

Yes that's correct
