[loganMac]

Thank you to all the Teams in here and @MaLd0n

 

Bootable USB

Terminal:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ high\ Sierra.app --nointeraction &&say All Done

1. Clover_v2.4k_r4359 or latest

2. Install Clover to USB

3. Select Bootloader --> Install boot0af in MBR
4. CloverEFI--> CloverEFI 64-bits SATA
5. Check mark on Drivers64
6. Copy patched APFS.efi, and NTFS.efi to EFI\CLOVER\Drivers64

 

To patch APFS.efi:  I did not use APFS from Clover.  I got it from 10.13.2 /usr/standalone/i386/

Terminal: 
sudo perl -i -pe 's|\x00\x74\x07\xb8\xff\xff|\x00\x90\x90\xb8\xff\xff|sg' "drag your APFS here"

Edit config.plist using Clover Configuration

on Kernal and Kext Patched add these 3 AppleAHCIPort

AppleAHCIPort 45787465 726e616c ------> 496e7465 726e616c   External Drives as Internal to fix Orange Icons

AppleAHCIPort 4585F60F 95C289C8 83E0FE66 85C9780F 84D2750B -----> 89C883E0 FE6685C9 0F98C141 08CC9090 9090750B fix I/O error for ICH10

AppleAHCIPort 89C82540 6002003D 40200000 750C81E1 BF7FFFFF 898B5101 0000 -> 90909090 90909090 90909090 90909090 90909090 90909090 9090 fix I/O error for ICH10

Save the file.  Now, you can boot USB with -v

 

Post-Installation:

1. Clover_v2.4k_r4359 or latest

2. Check mark on Install Clover as ESP

3. Select Bootloader --> Install boot0af in MBR
4. CloverEFI--> CloverEFI 64-bits SATA
5. Check mark on Drivers64
6. Copy patched APFS.efi, and NTFS.efi to EFI\CLOVER\Drivers64

7. Somehow Clover did not generate kexts in Other folder.  So I copy these kexts (see picture).  picture post later

       Note: I use VoodooHDA version 2.8.8.  Latest v2.9.x did not see "green rear plug".  Maybe someone how to patch, if so please post how.  Thanks

8. I would just use config.plist from bootable usb since it already had the patch in it.

I have a very similar setup (ASUS P7P55 LX with i7 870 overclocked @3,6 ghz and a 7970 6 gb Vapor-X) but I got a white screen in the installation time. Do you mind to show your EFI folder please?? Maybe I am doing something wrong but I don’t know what could it be.

 

Thanks in advance.

regards,

JF
