This is precisely what I did, however it would not apparently install the firmware. I can't see the screen since I have a RX480 installed, but each time I've done this 10.12 starts back up and the install of 10.13 never get's further...
Got a tip for us?

I've just updated my webpage for the High Sierra Patcher, adding documentation. It can be found here.
I got dev beta 5 to show up using macOS Developer Beta Access Utility. And I have macOS installed using dosdudes method. I haven't tried beta 6 yet tho
I kinda took a break on using Clover. Figuring out how to not get the firmware to install has exceeded my realm of knowledge. I tried everything I can think to do :-(
EDIT: When I went in a woke my iMac up Beta 6 was already there waiting for me.

Anyone else having trouble enabling TRIM support? I used dosdude1's patcher to upgrade, no problems or errors at all along the way. You can see my specs below. I have an aftermarket SSD in my iMac, and I have used the "trimforce" command in the past to allow TRIM support and that has always worked. Now it says successful when I run the command in Terminal, but upon rebooting it still shows no support. Any thoughts?
Hello,
It's a stock Apple HD5870 and it works very well with Sierra. It's possible to boot with High Sierra in safe mode.
Yes. I see the same thing too. A Safe boot allows my efi flashed 5870 and even an RX 460 to reach the 10.13 desktop but no accelerated video so useless in real world.
Since a Safe boot works, the problem has to be due to a GPU driver kext but I can't find a fix so we have to rely/wait on Apple. In the case of the RX 460 not booting, I think the problem is in the AMDRadeonX4000GL driver bundle. One thing is for sure, support for old Mac Pro models is low on Apple bugfix priority list.

Please check Apple's forums first: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/83522 anything that does not work on real macs will not work for us either.
You're correct. The command line still runs, but the result no longer produces enable Trim support in HS. Sierra and previous still can be enabled this way.

Thanks, I didn't see that thread. It does look like a problem even on supported macs. I am sure they will fix before the GM. I used the "Trim Enabler" app (by Cindori) to get TRIM working for the time being.
Nog yet, tried different usb thumb drives.
Running the tool on my:
MBP 2012
Running 10.13 dp6
Sip disabled
I’ll try it on my mini 2009 tomorrow.
Can someone confirm that the app "AUSEnabler" is no longer recommended or needed.
I'm having some difficulty getting my High Sierra public Beta installation to update and find the available information somewhat confusing.

Yeah, I believe AUSEnabler only works with Sierra (not 100% sure, but I don't believe Foxlet's server has been updated for High Sierra). It is recommended that you use @Czo's patch, which can be applied using the script found here, or by installing it from the Patch Updater tool if you have that installed.
Has anyone managed to score the public Beta5 yet. I see that Dev Beta6 has been out for a few days now and usually the public Beta minus 1 version# follows shortly.
I got the same errors with the latest version of dosdude1’s patcher (tried with Dev. Beta 6 and PB 5). With the older version v1.0.2 of the patcher it then successfully created a bootable flash drive.

I think I fixed the issue. Updated in tool version 1.1.3. Download available from here as always.
