Can you check your install log and see if any package installation failures are reported in the time frame of the update?
Hey, I have a MacBook Pro 5.5 that works fine with High Sierra 10.13.1. Now I want to update to 10.13.4, but unfortunately it does not work. He loads the update, restarts, the bar starts to run and then the MacBook restarts and he shows me the update again ...? What am I doing wrong, it seems to work with the update on the App Store.
Has anyone figured out (aka: documented) what the automation scripts in Onyx do?
There were some errors connecting to the Software Update server due to no connection to the internet. Plus this related to iTunes:
However, there is a ton of text in there I haven't gone through yet with a fine toothed comb.
Hi guys,

Just re-install the AMD Video Card Patch using the Patch Updater tool.
Upgrade MacPro 3,1 from OS 10.13.3 to OS 10.13.4, upon reboot stuck at the Apple Logo screen, the progress bar was almost to the end with a gear appearing. Cannot use recovery drive of 10.13.3. Any suggestion ?
Also try to put two different USB stick with Install macOS High Sierra from App Store using Patch Installer, the progress bar went to the end with the Apple Logo, but will not go to the next page to select Hard Drives.
So really stuck, any suggestions?

I have similar issues with my Mac Pro 3,1 . My Graphics is Sapphire AMD HD7950 3GB, flashed to mac version. After this update, my OpenGL acceleration is gone. Though the system reports the AMDX4000Framebuffer is loaded, it is as choppy and teary as using without a driver and photoshop said it is using apple software renderer without detecting the AMD card. I have reapplied your path twice but still have no luck? It seems there must be something done to the detection of graphics card to this new version of HS.
Happens after every update.
1. OS will not load after update. Reinstall AMD patch from USB.
2. OS will load, but has no GPU acceleration. Reinstall from Patch updater.
3. Voilá, there is GPU acceleration.
Now the problem is to get back 4K for my screens. Only getting 2560x440 for some reason. Maybe the apple gods have decided that we should not use the screen real estate?
I have rolled back IOGraphicsFamily.kext back to 10.13.3, now it works perfectly. Still, under this version, Transparency has to be reduced to avoid a red login screen.
I would suggest you to temporarily roll back the same kext and wait till we can see more inputs. After all, the 10.13.4 GM is under 2 days old..
Mac Pro 3,1 with Raid0 boot off Apricorn Velocity Solo x2, with 2x EVO 850 (620/699 in Raid0 config vs about 520/550 standalone.)
Recently downgraded video card to a GTX 285 which fixed the occasional red screens and wake-from-sleep issues I had with a properly flashed R9 280x.
Updated to 10.13.4 from 10.13.3 with no issues.

Not working. Still getting 2560x1440 as highest resolution. Tried resetting SMC and NVRAM. Tried zapping windows.plist. Option key + Scaled only gives lower res alternatives.
Furthermore, Apple's update reconfigured order of my three displays and made a terrible mess. Dunno what they are thinking, but if you have a 4K screen, you probably want a 4K resolution.
I heard somewhere that only AMD/ATI cards have these problems. I have a GT 120 (Apple OEM) sitting in my storage and used to own a GTX 650Ti. These are proven to be perfect. Yeah, I would stay with the HD 7950 for the end of this Mac Pro's life and maybe trade for a 5,1 when I have more cash.. What I would miss would be the IDE power outputs that enable me to get a third PCIE power cable hooked.
@macdos, I heard something about AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy relating to your issue. The guy had his 2 DP ports disabled and switched after the update.
He is using a Hackintosh and injected the following to the kext with clover:
name:AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy
find:626F6172 642D6964
REP:626F6172 642D6978
He is using a RX Vega 64 8GB card.

妈拉个逼呀！I reinstalled 10.13.2 and everything is now working as before. I will freeze the upgrade cycle here, and stay cool until I find it worth investing in a Windows box. Likewise, my iphone will be replaced with a Xiaomi or Samsung. I've just had it with Apple.
MB 5,2 ran the update from MAS. had to reapply the patches with the updater. Everything is working. Easy AF.
The 10.13.4 full installer doesn't seem to play well with the High Sierra Patcher 2.5.4 or 2.5.5. In both cases, the resulting patched USB boots insanely slowly and never seems to make it into the installer itself. Hopefully this issue can be fixed.
On my MP3,1 I CC-ed my present 10.13.3 boot SSD (A) to another SSD (B) and then booted from the 10.13.3 boot USB installer to run the post-install utility on that SSD (B). Then I booted from B and ran the Apple 10.13.4 upgrade and rebooted. The MP 3,1 started fine and the nVidia webdriver utility "told" me there was a webdriver update (387.10.10.10.30.103) which I installed. The CUDA driver still needs an update that seems unreleased so far.
The only glitch I can see so far is that the BT4.0 LE module (from 2016 iMac) is grayed out.
Addendum—A second boot fixed the disabled BT4.0 LE module
Hardware Summary
MP3,1 (2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core) with GTX680 flashed EVGA for PC, Sonnet PCIe SSD adapter, two Samsung 860 Evo SSDs, Type-C USB3.1 PICe x 4 expansion card

Reverting back to the High Sierra 10.13.3 installer that High Sierra Patcher still downloads, I was able to recreate my previous USB installer. On a MacPro 3,1, that installer switches from the gray progress bar screen to the black one midway through the progress bar. The USB installer created with the 10.13.4 full installer never makes that transition and stays with the gray progress bar screen all the way across. From the 10.13.4 release notes, I did see that the installer was reworked...
- Adds the --eraseinstall flag to the startosinstall command in the macOS Installer app at Contents/Resources/startosinstall. Use this flag to erase and install macOS on a disk. For details, run startosinstall with the --usage flag.
You were right! Using another USB stick the procedure is terminated correctly.
I used the "Second Edition" of macOS High Sierra Patcher Tool version 2.5.5 (in the meantime a "Third Edition" was also released) and install macOS High Sierra.app 10.13.3 version 13.3.02.
Now I would have another question:
the Mac App Store offers me the update to version 10.13.4 and iTunes 12.7.4. Has anyone had any problems with these updates on Mac mini (Late 2009) if run from the Mac App Store?
I read here on the forum that there are some problems with other Mac models!
Thank you all!
What hardware? On my MacBook5,1 and MacBook5,5 O did not have to reapply the patch but I did get an error on first launch of the App Store app that said not everything was installed. However my machines are listed as 10.13.4 and my iTunes is up to date too so I’m not sure what that message was referring to.
