10.13.5 Update Quick Notes:
Hackintosh 10.13.5 Install Overview
This update is not automatic, when the computer reboots after installing in the app store you will have to select: Install macOS from “drive_name” to complete the update in Clover EFI Bootloader. I actually had to select Install macOS From… twice in Clover EFI Bootloader as the first time it rebooted before completion, while the second time it finished the install. There may be up to 4 restarts to finish the update. For Ryzen users a fresh install of 10.13.4 is required as the update feature does not work for non-Intel processors. If you end of getting the macOS cannot be installed error. See the updated [Guide] macOS could not be installed
Notes:
- If updating to macOS 10.13.5 from a version earlier than High Sierra 10.13.4, you will need the new USB Port Limit Patch introduced in 10.13.4 to be get past the USB port number restriction.
- Some users have reported having issues with using ultra wide monitors and Nvidia graphics cards.

Thanks for the update! I just finished a fresh 10.13.4 install, and i dont know how it happened but i was in 10.13.5. I am using an ultrawide dell monitor (looks horrible and have not been able to fix). Once i did the webdriver update to see if it fixed the flickering and the stretching. Now it goes straight to black after apple logo and turns off.
Gygabite 370 Gaming7
8700k
Nvidia 1070 ti (Using the display port for the ultrawide)
update: (my card is 1050 ti not 1070ti). I disable Nvidia and went with internal Intel. When it uses the Inject Intel it hangs on the loading screen, For the time being I have to use Inject EDID and it works. My monitor is a Dell UltraSharp U2913WM (ultrawide). Resolution fixed with SwitchResX.
But my graphics are still buggy and jumpy. Hopefully the Nvidia Graphics get fixed soon.
I have a U3417W I can test and will take a look. This problem was resolved in 10.13.4 web drivers, I wonder if they came back.
I think I am just going to re install 10.13.4, the graphics are buggy on Intel (internal) and Nvidia. Just hangs on the loop or shuts down. I re-installed the web drivers, re installed the kexts and but still not able to use decent graphic drivers.
oK, I don’t know why the installer that I built was 10.13.4 but it installs 10.13.5. and web drivers are messing up my OSX and can’t boot with Nvidia Webdrivers (installed with the normal method and through terminal with the latest Driver. When WD are enabled it goes to black screen mid boot and turns off. I am at a loss.
Did you enable SIP before installing the web drivers? https://hackintosher.com/forums/thread/enable-disable-system-integrity-protection-sip-on-a-hackintosh.53/
I disabled it through Clover 0x067 but did not re-enabled it back. Should I do that?
Usually when someone get’s a black screen with High Sierra after installing web drivers it’s because they didn’t have SIP enabled before installing the web drivers. After the web drivers are successfully installed it doesn’t matter where it’s disabled or left enabled as it pertains to the web drivers functioning or not.
I saw did the 0x67 method before the install, but after checking through method 2 the checkboxes were not ticked. I did not have anything tell me in terminal that SIP was enabled or not and it installed so I guessed it was disabled.
Also, I am a bit confused, not sure if it should be DIsabled or Enabled prior to the install.
Thanks for all your help! you are mega patient with all of us here
You need to Enable SIP before the install by setting it to 0x00 not 0x67 like you have been doing.
I ran the un-install command “sudo sh webdriver.sh -r” it said no file in directory. So I proceeded to enable SIP (restart) and install the latest web drivers for 10.13.5 through the command, after re-start still won’t load and get a black screen and forced to disable WebDrivers from Clover to load.
OK ok ok. Its the Dell Ultrawide that is giving all the issues. I am guessing it does not like the resolution 2650×1080 nd freaks out, both through HDMI and DisplayPort, I did plug the internal graphics and worked well (through EDID) and matched resolution but crappy graphics even with fixintelgraphics.kext. So Im guessing that ultra wide monitors are out of the question for the time being with this update and web drivers.
Recap: after switching monitors from Ultravide to Regular 1080 (16:9) it booted fine and web driver active and working.
Any ideas about using the ultra wide monitor without freaking out?
I really having a lot of trouble with this process! Can someone help???
Symbios= iMAC 18,1 and OK 🙂
Is this something I can jump straight to from 10.13.2, or do I need to apply those updates prior to this one first?
Hi there, thanks for your helpful articles.
My question is: Do Ryzen-Processors need a new Kernel for 10.13.5 ?
RedDevil RX580
MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
Ryzen 7 2700X
I’ve updated my system to 10.13.5 but I keep kernel modified by Bronya from AMD-OSX forum 10.13.3 distribution and almost everything seems to work. “Almost” means I can’t connect through some ports and it blocks homebrew and Apple store. Blocked homebrew is more painful.
There’s probably much more disappointment with original Intel kernel for original Macs, I can read and I hear from my friends that recent updates broke Macs’ stability. Most likely it’s the Intel design flaw related to the series of Spectre exploits and Intel’s inability to solve the problem.
Original Macs got unstable after this double flawed “patch”. Now only hackintoshers can haz it.
Will Vega 64 work “out of the box” in 10.13.5? And if not OOB, will it wok properly in any way?
Is it worth it to install this update or wait until Mojave is out? I’m running on 10.13.3 now without issues.
It’s not worth it, but I’ve updated and it works perfectly.
there is mac that sigen working perfectly with 10.6.8
Someone told me on the forums they were having OOB success with https://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-64-AXRX-VEGA-8GBHBM2-2D2H/dp/B078GGNBQX/?tag=hkntshr-20
Interesting find. If you get a black screen after install, but think there’s a working system ( ie caps lock light switches on when pressed ), check what monitor output on your graphics card you’ve used.
I was plugged into display port #2. I moved to #1 and voila it’s all good.
Only took me 35 minutes and 30 odd reboots with different options to figure out !
upgrade 10.13.4 -> 10.13.5 makes my dual monitor setup fail too.
first monitor : integrated Intel with HDMI
second monitor : RX560 with display Port
I’m unable to have the two monitors at the same time, even with pluggin off/on one of the monitor. I had to disable my integrated Intel graphics on the BIOS to make my main monitor (on the RX560) works :'(
and two crash in a day, computer fully locked, only a hard reset to unlock it 🙁
it never happened with previous releases
the best option is to stay at 10.13.4
or at 10.12.x 😉
I solved my crash issues updating some kext files
but I’m still unable to have my two monitors playing at the same time
Thanks for the Update.
I installed 10.13.5. and all work fine but the USB Ports are slow, what can i do?
I tried all what i find on the web 🙁
Did you apply the 10.13.4 usb line?
should we also update clover?
currently on 10.13.4 everything working like a charm
just updated all the kext and currently downloading 10.13.5 update
From my understanding clover should always be updated 🙂
are 660 evga effect glitch
Updating from macOS 10.13, I followed all your instructions except that I can’t find “Install macOS from “drive_name””.
I do have “Boot macOS Install from “drive_name”” though, but it keeps rebooting every time I select it.
I’ve tried 10 times and it always goes back to Clover boot screen.
Still, it doesn’t seem to affect my High Sierra partition as I can boot and write this post.
Any idea ? Thanks !

Has anyone run into a failure issue when trying to update to 10.13.5? I am using 10.13.4 and upon downloading the update and trying to install and restart I get a message about an “installer error.” I don’t have the full message but will try again and copy it next time.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Gary
Thank you so much for the update .. you guy are the best.
Upgraded from 10.13.4 Now running 10.13.5 all works great.
The only issue I’m having is the very slow boot which I don’t know if that’s something common or if it’s just me.
