I have a similar problem. Created my USB with Unibeast but can make it work. After I choose the installer the Apple logo shows but the it stops with a no sign. Tried running in verbose and I got weird writing. Looks really bad!
I tried Unibeast with different pen drives with same result. I also made sure the macOS installer was full and not corrupted. Can’t see where thing went wrong. Help!

the error you are getting is still waiting for root device
make sure to use a USB2.0 stick, try all USB2.0 ports on your computer, use the ports connected to the motherboard at back of the machine is possible
maybe try another USB2.0 stick

Thanks for the reply feartech!
I tried again using same stick on a usb port in the back of computer. Unfortunately I had exactly the same issue and text turned weird while NO sign appeared. I managed to take a picture of screen just before text went weird, it is attached.
Also tried with a second USB, this is also 2.0. Results were different but not good I am afraid. In this case, the loading stop with a line full of + signs. Again, see picture attached.
Any other ideas?
I truly appreciate your help.

- Please upload CLOVER from your USB installer as zipped file [for steps you may check this->#4]
- List your personally set BIOS options for this Boot INCLUDING the USB Controller -related and Graphics related ones or better still upload screen shots from BIOS
- Please NOTE: your CPU i7-6700K 4GHz provides Intel HD Graphics 530 . This in presence of your PCIE Graphics card Nvidia GTX 1070 without an installed NVIDIA Webdriver, is going to give you another set of crashes even when you fix your USB related crash now.
- My personal suggestion is to reboot and enter BIOS and change the graphics options from your PCIE to IGFX and select DVMT Pre-allocated Memory of 128M or minimum of 64MB and save and reboot and then when «NO VIDEO Signal» is shown on screen shut down the PC.
- Remove Power Cable from PSU socket
- Remove the Monitor connection from the Nvidia PCIE Card.
- Open the Case
- Remove the NVIDIA PCIE Card from PCIE Slot carefully with electrostatic precautions.
- Disconnect any other hard disks or other devices from SATA ports leaving ONLY THE TARGET Hard Disk for macOS High Sierra Installation connected,
- Disconnect all devices from USB ports except input devices like USB Keyboard, USB Mouse and the USB macOS High Sierra Installer Flash disk.
- Connect the Monitor to Integrated Intel HD’s HDMI port
- Repower and Reboot
- Re-enter BIOS and make sure the Graphics options are to use IGFX and the first boot device is your macOS High Sierra UEFI USB installer Flash disk and all other devices in the Boot Options list are DISABLED.
- Save the BIOS and reboot
- If you have not already edited your CLOVER/config.plsit to use Intel HD Graphics, please make changes in CBM screen >Options [ this must be repeated on every reboot during installation until hard disk installation, Clover install on hard disk and its config.plist is edited with all of the below temporary edits]
- Boot Args: -v dart=0 -disablegfxfirmware
- Graphics Injector->
- [√]Inject Intel
- Fake ID =0x59128086
- *-platform-id=0x59120000
- Return to CBM screen
- Boot and take screen shots to upload of any problem verbose boot screens.

ASUS ROG STRIX B360-F GAMING / h470-F GAMING
This motherboard is similar in quality and features to the previous model from MSI and the best that ASUS offers for non-overclocked gaming PCs.
Recommended processors Core i5, i7 Core i5, i7 ASUS uses a codec called SupremeFX to hide various Realtek solutions in its motherboards. But in this case, under a beautiful metal screen, there is a top ALC1220 codec, plus a good piping with Japanese capacitors and a headphone amplifier. As a result, we have excellent sound quality both in speakers and headphones, plus an optical output.
It has all modern video connectors and a fairly powerful power supply system that can easily withstand high loads from older models of the Core i7 (8700) processor, but it is still rather weak for a Core i9. But for games and i7 with a head enough, so it will be a great choice for a gamer.

The most interesting in the reviews

Alexey Stepin
As you know, Intel is very sensitive about the cross-platform compatibility of its processors: if the company believes that a certain processor is not intended for overclocking, the corresponding functions are disabled, their implementation is not allowed, and board manufacturers (usually ASRock), who decide otherwise, receive a severe warning . And often we are talking about processors with the same socket, different versions of which are electrically compatible with each other. We are talking about LGA 1151, the main mass Intel processor socket today. Under this connector, there are as many as three generations of chipsets — the «hundredth», «two hundredth» and the most modern «three hundredth», and only the latest six-core Coffee Lake chips are compatible with the latter.
When Kaby Lake’s 200th platform launched, many who bought expensive Z270-based motherboards could be said to have been fooled, as they clearly hoped to upgrade to Coffee Lake later. But Intel justified the refusal of compatibility by changing the power supply circuit to the processor socket on the «300» platform, and also optimized the wiring of the part that connects the socket to DIMMs to support DDR4-2666. You can understand the company, it is striving for unification, but it always seemed to us that something was wrong in this story, since the difference between the various generations of the LGA 1151 platform is physically, logically and electrically too small so that Kaby Lake cannot be used in conjunction with the Z370, and Coffee Lake is shared with the Z170. Chinese enthusiasts confirmed our doubts and refuted Intel’s position.
Although we are talking only about the modest Core i3-8350K, we managed to get it to work on the MSI Z170A Xpower Titanium motherboard, and, most likely, the Core i7-8700K will also work. The latter is not a fact, since it may not have enough additional power contacts missing on the Z170/270 boards. And in general, it’s too early to celebrate victory, since there are a lot of problems for enthusiasts who decide to return cross-compatibility to the LGA 1151 platform. First, a major modification of the BIOS was required, especially the section containing processor microcodes (a procedure well known to owners of inexpensive Xeon E5 v3). Secondly, the integrated graphics core is not yet available, and moreover, even the leading PCI Express x16 slot does not work. Further software modifications are likely to resolve these issues. Moreover, there is evidence from an ASUS spokesperson who stated that the ban on Coffee Lake support for the Z170/Z270 was imposed by Intel, although there are no physical or software reasons preventing such support.
There are a number of other interesting messages. They say that enthusiasts managed to successfully launch the sixth (Skylake) and seventh (Kaby Lake) generations of Intel processors on the Z370 platform, and not on the same board. The list turned out to be quite impressive:
- ASUS PRIME Z370-A;
- MSI Z370-A PRO;
- MSI Z370 Gaming M5;
- MSI Z370 Gaming Plus;
- Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7;
- Gigabyte Z370 HD3;
- ASRock Z370 Taichi;
- Colorful iGame Z370 Vulcan.
The study itself is very interesting; a lot of work has been done, but, unfortunately, it was published in Chinese, so Western and Russian enthusiasts will have to seriously sit down with an electronic translator. Minor issues have been observed during non-native CPU startup, but all of them are not of a serious status and can be easily fixed with changes to the BIOS and / or minor hardware modifications to the motherboards themselves.
If we recall the testimony of an ASUS employee, it becomes obvious that the compatibility barrier to the LGA 1151 platform is artificially imposed — at least in part. Intel can understand: platform unification and the abandonment of old versions simplifies the process of hardware certification, but what about those who have invested a lot of money in purchasing the best motherboard based on the Z170 or Z270 at the time of the announcement? It remains only to rely on enthusiasts, unless some company decides to play the rebels again, despite possible harsh measures from Intel. Whether ASRock, one of the Chinese manufacturers will once again become the leader of the rebels, or whether the burden of ensuring compatibility will fall entirely on the shoulders of enthusiasts, is not yet known. There are no comments from Intel itself yet.
