The macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 update brings stability, compatibility and security to your “Mac”. This update is light on features and only has improvements to compatibility with usb audio devices, voiceOver navigation for PDF’s in Preivew, Braille in it’s release notes.
The update also probably brings a number of undocumented fixes, improvements and changes to macOS.
10.13.2 Update
High Sierra 10.13.2 has been released along with it updated Nvidia Web Drivers. It’s safe to update to after updating Lilu.kext and apfs.efi if you have an Intel Hackintosh and not using a RX graphics card. For those with the RX 560, RX 570, RX 580. 10.13.2 breaks sleep functionality. For Ryzen users a fresh install of 10.13.2 is required
This update is done a little differently and is not automatically. When the computer reboots you may have to select: Install macOS from “drive_name” to complete the update.
Before updating follow these steps:
1. Update Lilu.kext
Lilu.kext version 1.21 or greater(+) is needed to successfully use High Sierra 10.13.2. Replace Lilu.kext in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other of your mounted partition.
2. Apple File System Users
If you already have a HFS+ drive it wont be converted to APFS if your worried about that. A new version of apfs.efi is out with 10.13.2 update to the latest version if you have an APFS formatted drive, unzip it and place it in EFI/Clover/Drivers64UEFI/
3. Nvidia Web Drivers Update
If you are using a Nvidia graphics card in High Sierra either update your Web Drivers to the latest version or unistall them before installing the High Sierra 13.2 update.
Nvidia 10.13.2 Web Drivers:
Remember to enable SIP when you install the web drivers and then disable them again after installing.
Note:
If you are updating from a version of macOS earlier than High Sierra 10.13.0 follow one of these guides before updating to 10.13.2:
- Updating your Hackintosh to High Sierra 10.13

What about the sudden sleep problems with AMD GPUs that is happening with the macOS 10.13.2 updates? Is there a fix for it, yet?
I’m having a similar problem. Maybe wouldn’t call it sudden sleep — but sudden reboot. Has happened twice — and both times after I stepped away from my computer, so not sure what led up to it rebooting.
Also, wake from sleep is no longer working. Monitor won’t wake up.
hopefully Apple will fix this with 10.13.3… I had to go back to 10.12.6 once I moved up to 10.13.2 and find out it broke sleep with my RX 560..

Thanks for the guide. worked like a charm. for some reason I had to change my audio ID number from 11 to 1 in ALC1220.
For those of you you want a clean APFS file with out verbose try this one: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/327584-apfsefi-without-verbose-boot/?p=2542660

Today I tri to update 10.13.2 on my test hard drive HFS, I got a issue : u know when the hakintosh start there is a few second when it’s blank screen (around 10 second and he start) and know with the update with lilu updating he won’t start.

Hi, first mega thanks you for all the work you share.
your site is simply nice and amazing.
i got a few question i’m running 10.13.1 on a GA-B75M-D3H, 99% perfectly (no native sound, no USB3) with a GT670 and a 4K2K Acer sound via HDMI …
Well my question is:
do you think i can follow your guide to build a USB stick with a full image of 10.13.2 the same way you show us instead 10.13 ?
PS: if you have any advice regarding the choice of mobo i would like to build a good but cheap i7 4770K OC Hackintosh easily running 10.13.2 (USB3, Sound, shutdown etc …). i only found guides for new hardware that is finaly more expensive than real Mac.
Thank you for your excellent guides. Their clarity has enabled me to fix problems video, audio, and USB problems that required a lot more digging on other sources. I have a Skylake machine with a GIGA mobo and nVidia 950 card.
Finally i was able to push the update trough, thanks for the tips !
the only problem i have (and it’s the same thing on fresh install on my other hackintosh) if i disable verbose mode, the system loads but grey apple screen stays on top for some reason…
Seems the same to me… Load finishes and progress bar and apple logo still “on Top” and no way to use macos, anyway seems to be loaded correctly. Booting in verbose mode does the trick… Maybe a Clover update soon will arrange the problem.
hopefully, i prefer it neat 😉
Anyone knows where to download High Sierra 10.13.1? Updating to 10.13.2 broke sleep with Radeon rx 560..
I would torrent it, I have an RX 580 and have the same issue. There’s some fixes on the internet like flashing the VBIOS, but I don’t want to do that Ill see if any of the other solutions work.

Hackintosher – while tonymacx86 has a wealth of knowledge, all of my Hackintosh efforts have only been successful because of your website.
Thank you and awesome job!!
You’re welcome!
I’m using 10.13.1 with an AMD RX560 and the hackintosh just randomly freeze I still can move the mouse but the click doesnt register) I tried the ig-platform fix and -rad4200 in boot flags but it still freeze randomly ( sometime when I use iMovie but other time it freeze even when I just use Chrome. Any suggestion? Everything else works great otherwise.
I had that problem before and don’t remember off the top of my head what I did to fix it. I’ll have to think about it.
same freeze here (mouse moves) on 10.13.3 and RX 560D.
I am trying to direct update from 10.12.5 but can not reach the installer after starting the update. It always return to clover boot screen where I choose Boot MacOS Install option, but start to read and return to clover boot screen again.
my system GAZ170x with NVIDIA GTX1050ti
Did you try replacing your EFI with the one in the general guide? http://hackintosher.com/guides/high-sierra-install-full-guide/
My Machine won’t update to 10.13.2 i don’t know why.
It restarts and seems like it is updating… but when osx is on still on 10.13.1
Update Luli kext and afps.efi
Tried= Autoupdate, combo and manual (from here)
Used all installs with SIP enabled and disabled
Tried rootless=0 on and off also no succes
I have no idea why… seems like installing everytime again but it is doing nothing!
You have to install it from the clover boot menu there is an extra option.
Thank you i will try that… but still normally i could pdate with the Appstore update (from 10.13 to 10.13.1 …. I think i have to unblock my preboot then in my boot options?
well… good try but this did not work too I think I will do a whole clean install of 10.13.2 because I installed the update a million times now and took me too much time now…
The 10.13.2 update is different it has to be initialized through Clover menu.
I run 10.13.2 on a MacBook Pro and an Hackintosh, and on both the options Wake for Ethernet Network access and Enable Power Nap are no longer in Energy Saver; anyone has the same?
It shows up in my Hackintosh on 10.13.2. I have no WiFi on this machine so, by default, have an ethernet cable plugged in. Just an idea, but it may not show up if there is no ethernet cable plugged in. After all why show this option if the machine has no ethernet access!
Yes, it would make sens, since both computers are connected on WiFi
Finally got sick of seeing Update Available so went to upgrade. All was fine apart from no sound, Internal Speakers had vanished.
Board is Asus z270G with S1220A Audio.
End result, I had to use 1.2.2.RELEASE of AppleALC.kext as well to get Internal Speakers’ back.
Hi after done all the preps mentioned (Lilla etc) the update to 10.13.2 was very smooth.
But after reboot I noticed that my Bluetooth is gone. I mean 10.13.2 does not find any BT hardware even. It worked fine in 10.13.1 and If a boot on my backup disk with 10.13.1 BT works, but not on 10.13.2. Wifi works fine, and its on the same card.
:-/
using :RehabMan: OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM
Any ideas?
I have replaced the original Intel wifi/BT card with the Broadcom BCM94352Z
Lilu not Lilla, sorry for that. Updated apfs.efi, Lilu and Nvidia drivers, but BT is “Not Available”, not even in HW report
Are you using the latest version of BrcmPatchRAM? I’ve gotten that card working fine with Intel machines, however bluethooth doesn’t work on Ryzen if there’s the slight chance your using that.
Hi Hackintosher,
I have “BrcmPatchRAM2.kext” version 2.2.7 installed in /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other. It workes fine under 10.13.1, but after upgraded to 10.13.2 its gone. Bluetooth: Not Available, and not visible in System report.
btw, thanks for great guides and builds, followed yours (AsRock mITX) when I built my first in Nov.
…and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext version 2.2.7 in /S/L/E.
Hi, issue “solved”. reinstalled the kexts using Kext utility, and ta-da’ BT showed up. After reboot, still working, now the two kexts are in /S/L/E… Somehow the kexts seemed not be loaded before.
MSI H110i-PRO failed to update, booting too long.
success with fresh install using 10.13.2 installer.
So I just finished building my first hackintosh and a strange, but not super major, problem has surfaced. When I shutdown my system and turn it back on I get an almost blurred picture of what is on my screen. To fix this I just change the resolution and set it back to my original settings and it’s gone. I always wondered why this was, but after further inspection on my “about this mac” tab I realized my hack thinks the monitor I’m using is a 71-inch TV.. I am currently using a 27-inch TV as my display ran through HDMI. I’m a bit puzzled as to why my system thinks i’m using a display of that size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
