I wrote a new handy script (install_1013_DP3_17A306f.sh) to install macOS High Sierra Beta DP-3 (the DeveloperSeed and BetaSeed use the same Apple download links).
The installer.pkg created by the script will simulate the App Store download and installation method and all you have to do is:
1.) Run script
2.) Launch installer.pkg
3.) Reboot
This procedure installed macOS High Sierra Beta DP-3 over a previously installed (broken) copy of macOS High Sierra DP-1. Worked for me. Please confirm.
Please note that the App Store.app downloads files to: /Library/Updates but the script uses: /tmp/ The files will be gone after a reboot, and thus you may want to make a backup of the files!
I also wrote a handy script (update_DP3_17A306f.sh) to update macOS Beta DP2-1 to DP3.
p.s. I don’t need to use the scripts to get macOS High Sierra Beta DP-3 installed because the installer from the App Store works as well.
Thanks!
Thank you Piker.. works we ever, ok.
Hi,
Thank you for this confirmation!
result will this a basesystem installer method?
No. App Store like installer.
Piker.. can you please a new create for DP4 High Siera ? Thank you.
Sure. Hopefully later today.
p.s. What is the exact installation problem that are you facing?
Thank you.
The problem is that after download the Update will restart and cos the message “install1 Item 17 minutes” not forward, stop here and restart. After restart, not instal the Update and is we before, the old Bulldversion.
Ok. Sorry, but I didn’t make it today. Maybe tomorrow.
Yes… no problem i waiting.
Friend … do you think times please to the new update script for the Dev.Beta4? Thank you.
The SSD that I used for testing is no longer working reliable. I am trying to copy the files that I need from it, but I keep getting errors. This was a replacement from OCZ, but it’s no good either. The Samsungs drives keep working so I guess it’s time to say goodbye to OCZ. I’m done with them.
Hello my Friend Piker.. Can not you now at the Hackintosh or the Mac work and create a new script for the Dev.Beta4 ? Do you have any other working SSD as a replacement ?
No shops at sea – we are currently sailing at the cape of good hope – and thus I cannot download anything, since that would be slow and too expensive, but the script is there.
Hello Piker do you live in South Africa or do you go sailing there? Is nevertheless ok and you should indeed during the vacation you recover from the work stress and not scripts write. When you are back home, you can work on it. As you write you have the script already finished in your head. Then I wish you a nice sailing trip and hopefully no mast break.
thank you.. have see in github in your section the update-Script for High Sierra DP4 17A315i
Yes. The script is there already, but we may want to remove the checksum check. I don’t think that this is the right way of doing it. Please check: /var/log/install.log for if it fails.
Thanks again … I will report when I use it in the next time.
will this work for a hackintosh from a working OS Sierra install? Or is this for a real mac only?
Both.
