1. A system with High Sierra installed has pulled down firmware for the machine when the installer runs, and it's supposed to lock out previous OS versions running. So the Sierra install not booting is about what I expected. 2. You're getting permissions errors under single user mode as root, because the system libraries are under Apple's SIP protection. So it won't let you do much.
Hey, thanks for making these videos. It always makes my day when i see that notification that you uploaded a video :). Keep up the amazing work!

Hey Krazy ken do you know how to fix a Mac book g5 that when it boots it gives you the prohibitory sign that flashes
i am having same issue @ 0:11 in your intro the black screen and keep restarting macbook pro 15 retina late 2013
I had that issue, I couldn't find any help online so I had to figure it out myself... it was tricky to fix.
lol I figured out it's an AMD GPU problem from the first minute of the video. It's a very common issue with these.
I had an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I had almost every problem known to Pup (or man) kind and that completely excluded GPU issues. Guess I got lucky?
If you hold cmd plus r during the boot screen you can get to recovery partition. They changed the way you boot in to recovery in the new Mac OS update

5:15 Isn't the recovery partition sometimes hidden? Wouldn't you have had to press Cmd + R with the internal boot drive selected? Also, when you did press Cmd + R a few seconds later, the Apple logo appearing means that either it didn't detect the key press or local recovery is loading. If internet recovery had been loading, a spinning globe would have appeared. Am I right, Ken?

How is the scene From Windows 7 house party video in the intro, is this video was uploaded 2 years ago?
I have the same model of MacBook Pro , whenever you connect it to power it turns on the charger light in green but very dimly, when it finally decides to turn on it’s stuck on a boot loop, if it doesn’t you will have to enter in safe boot, if you are lucky it will turn on normally but when ever you disconnect it from the power and try to open anything it will shutdown and you will have to start all over although the battery is new it has the same problem and I don’t nor what to do.
Ken, you can still do a Time Machine backup for an external disk....

Is...is this what's gonna happen to my Windows 8?It's driver's are failing and saw all sorts of bad stuff in event viewer
i tried to boot up a computer and it was windows xp the problem that after it finishes loading it just turns off then i tried everything and i booted it up through a network for a few minutes before it turned off but i didnt had the time to scan it i will try more things but i think i have already tried everything exept the stuff i dont have clue about
Definitely should have tried to run a hardware test anyways. Anyways, this one actually helped me 'cause I have a macbook with a similar problem to repair
That's an issue I also have with an iMac. Well, the bar reaches 3/4 before going white, so, I think, that's quite a similar problem

Thankfully on the iMac the graphics are easily replaceable.
And wews , man command has weird behavior in Mac's terminal, is it some framebuffer thing? Makes me wonder
IIRC if you boot into single user mode, your drive is read only by default. You have to manually remount it read/write.
14:40 that system integrity protection disable it and the command should work :)
Did you tried boting other mac From drive of this hanging one?
You had to remount / rw to write it in single user mount by mount -o remount,rw /. to close man press q.
So great of an video!
Have you tried installing windows then shooting it?
Don't recommend the owner to buy another 2011 15" MBP, these GPU"s are extremely prone to failing, so probably another one would fail pretty soon as well.

It looks like there is a problem with the GPU firmware that is preventing it from changing into 3D mode to display OS animations and effects, that's why removing the drivers worked because without the drivers it won't try to change into 3d mode. You might be able to repair this by flashing the GPU rom.
Usually if you can choose a Wifi Network it should be possible to go into Recovery mode using Wifi
Great video
High Sierra runs pretty well on my 2011 Mac Mini, though it is a pretty damn virgin install (only added Chrome, Diablo 3, Hearthstone, the Battle.net launcher and the orginal Call of Duty). It is slow to boot though. Guessing the ol' 5400 RPM HD doesn't cut the mustard in this SSD world
If you are in the boot picker you can press Command+R to do recovery mode.
When I was looking at the video before he fixed the issue, I thought it was a kernel problem.
My 2018 MacBook Pro shipped with High Sierra despite Mojave being released when I got it (I got it new btw) and I thought this computer was broken sometimes because of how glitchy it was on high sierra. But I upgraded my MacBook to Mojave and this has been the best computer I have ever used in my life. I have no idea what was wrong with High Sierra but I really did not like it.
To internet recovery it needs to be connected to the internet and select it from boot picker (if not connected to internet you can connect from boot picker and if its not connected to internet, internet recovery won't show up in boot picker)

Not on the laptops unfortunately.
That's why you get like 3 different 8gb USB thumb drives and make them fresh install that are bottable. So you have different versions of Mac OS
I can confirm that is a 2011 / older model. Looking closer at the laptop in full screen, and it looks like it has a dashboard key instead of a launchpad key. The more you know.
Good video, perhaps I missed it but I would've tried to boot in verbose mode so you could try to capture what was happening when it went to the white screen without the loading bar and hung there. I recently had this issue with a much newer iMac and it turned out it was trying to find wifi constantly (obviously not the issue with this laptop) but had I not used verbose boot I would've never known where to look first. Also perhaps it's an issue with that specific SKU + High Sierra combo? Try rolling back the OS or do as others have suggested and try booting an alternative operating system to see if they reciprocate the gpu hardware issue. Anyways, good luck! Your videos always make me laugh :)

I know something that you can do with 2011 models it will boot if you plug in a monitor.
"Siri,how do you reset t.., no Siri, you b**ch, stop, never works" by far, best part of the video.
i wonder... if you upgraded an macbook pro 2015 model to HS, do you still have the bong?

The bong might be muted, but I’m guessing it’s still stored in the EFI (or ROM equivalent) and it could possibly be re-enabled.

11:52 lol my teacher got something very similar when she restarted her Mac at school
the issue is likely that the C9560.Tantalium Cap which is responsible for the power to the GPU that Specific cap need to be replaced with a equal 330µF 2.5v Alu-Organic-Poly Capacitor or even better a 3.0V and then it works like a charm in most cases
I got my Samsung phone at "recovery loop" and it looped between screen: Installing system update between recovery errors. The errors was: E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) dm-verity error E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument) E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument) but I easily fixed it via flashing new firmware. I have the video how to fix it.
At 14:10 you typed the command wrong, you are supposed to type it as this: /sbin/fsck -fy
I had a similar issue, but I just bought a new drive for it

You also can boot up into the safe system start by holding shift during the boot screen. In this mode it only loads the necessary kernel extensions. So you wouldn’t need to mess around with the extension files. You also should pay attention to which “repair store” you give it. Because officially it isn’t supported by Apple anymore and some “repair stores” only heat the logic board up or resolder the defective gpu. By doing that you only make it work temporarily but you don’t really fix the gpu. So you should advise the costumer to buy an refurbished one or a newer model.

I skipped booting my Mac's internal M.2 on the other party's hardware because I already tried the Recovery Mode, and it failed. I figured it would do the same. Plus, I didn't want to mess with my startup volume by accident.
If it’s a El Capitan updated piker alpha MacBook Pro as it looks they’ve updated to security fix witch has bricked the old cpus. You may want to install to OS X Lion
've got a 2013 MacPro. Apple managed to build yet another GPU issue into the system with the D300, D500 and D700 FirePro cards crashing randomly. Apple so far has not provided a true fix so I will probably have to get an eGPU to get around that problem. Apple should know better. Very frustrating
