Bad 10.14.2->10.14.3 OS update - need help

[MacsRSour]

Hi guys,

Everything was fine until I ran the OS update from 14.2 -> 14.3 which failed on me.

Sapphire RX580
Flashed 4,1 Mac 2009
Running mojave 10.14.2

I'm unsure what's causing no video. (I know Sapphire 580 will not have certain screens - but which I'm unsure of). Here's my issue

I ran the 14.2->14.3 update and rebooted
While the screen was black screen during the update then I lost power.
The power came back, still a black screen so I plugged in a GT120 and REMOVED Rx580.

GT120 took me to the recovery options so I restored from time machine. Time machine restore was done, system rebooted. Black screen again, so I powered down the mac. Put Rx580 back in and removed GT120.

Powered Mac back on, still a black screen for 20 minutes, so I took out the RX580 and have the GT120 in. Boot again, still no display

Any suggestions? I think my next steps are to reset pram and smc?

Thanks

Do a clean install of 10.13.6 and test your hardware, at least you have a corrupted drive. 10.13.6 works with GT120 or RX 580 and it's your best bet to test.
[doublepost=1548432587][/doublepost]Start doing a SMC and NVRAM reset.

Anyone else having problems going from 10.14.2>10.14.3? I also have a 4,1 with an RX580 and was about to do the upgrade.

I upgraded to 10.14.3 and haven't had any issues. I did have to use the delta updater because the combo updater is broken.

MP 4,1 -> 5,1 with HD7950 Mac Edition.

 

[Flocarino]

No problems here.

No problem during / after the upgrade at all.

Thanks for the responses. Well, I attempted the update and was unsuccessful. My first attempt was the Combo update from Apple. Then I tried to update through System Preferences. That also failed. Both attempts yielded the same results. So I'm still on 10.14.2.

"The installer resources were not found. Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again."

Suggestions?

Oh - BTW... FaceTime and Messages have stopped working as of this afternoon. This morning, everything was fine.

tsialex was correct about my issue. Corrupted drive, I did a reinstall from time machine 2nd try. That worked.
Thank you Alex for the help. Your info was helpful.

fatespawn. I did my update to 10.14.3 successfully after the first attempt (that failed probably due to power failure.)
I did the update using the Apple Software Update option.I never saw the message you're reporting...

Still have a Metal GPU installed?
System OS drive APFS format?
Authentic 5,1 or hacked?

4,1. I have an RX580 and yes, APFS format.

You download the combo updater after 25th Jan?

 

[fatespawn]

Yes, just yesterday. I actually used the combo update I downloaded to upgrade my wife's iMac first. Then I tried on my Mac Pro with the aforementioned error.

 

[fatespawn]

Well... I napped on it. Then I reset the PRAM and it finally took. I stumbled on that one when I was troubleshooting iMessage. Thanks for the suggestions.

If you've never replaced the battery on the board, would suggest you do so. The OEM last 5-7 years max. Most machines are beyond that. It's fixed a few of these random need to reset PRAM issues lately.
