I did it from within my High Sierra Patcher usb used the terminal to disable sip and to check status when before installing MacOS Mojave
You can boot from any usb-key macOS installer, from El Capitan onwards, open terminal and disable SIP.
That should work. It’s basically just a full featured recovery mode.

Yes you should be able to.
@dosdude1 Solution: Do install AMDLegacySupport.kext, do NOT install the Backlight patch in the patch updater. Leaving the 10.14 AppleBacklight.kext/AppleBacklightExpert.kext/DisplayServices.framework in place works fine, backlight control, screen+computer sleep and all.
@jackluke have you had any freezing/Core Image related errors since the updated nVidia patch? I have notI hope you've seen the same thing. (Also, very nice stress test a few pages back haha.)
Thanks, it works like a charm!
Hoping it'll until the Golden Master release.
Your debugging was effective, admit, very little delay in using when I kept all those processes running, but come on is ever a core 2 duo, this is reasonable and acceptable.
In any programming language there is sometime part of coding you can adjust/cut and do without, making the routines/algorithms smaller and lighter in memory, asking less resources and better optimized.
And this is immediately noticeable if we compare these (I made a funny ranking):
IOAccelerator from Mojave beta 1 = 70 KB (the winner is)
IOAccelerator from El Capitan 10.11.6 = 136 KB
IOAccelerator from Sierra 10.12.6 = 144 KB
IOAccelerator from High Sierra 10.13.6 = 154 KB
IOAccelerator from Mojave beta 2 = 158 KB (And maybe current Mojave)
IOAccelerator from Mavericks 10.9.5 = 99 KB (not classified cause it uses a previous OpenGL framework)
I don't have Yosemite 10.10.5 (not sure if it uses a pre-Metal OpenGL version)
Totally missing on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (maybe they introduced from Lion)
This is a clear evidence proof.
edit:
Please note I made this ranking but only for a legacy Nvidia Tesla, of course often an higher sized IOAccelerator's PrivateFramework is mandatory to support newer GPUs 2D/3D acceleration and system OpenGL/Metal API.

Success: My old MBP 4,1 15" C2D Nvidia 8800 runs Mojave from internal HDD.
well I need the backlight patch for my iMac 9.1 after installing the legacy video patch post install my screen was dark but on my iMac 8.1 the backlight worked but before dosdude added backlight patch I used the backlight and night shift from High Sierra post install/patch updater on my iMac 9.1
No ideas?
Hi hi!
Tried it today on a mid 2009 MBP.
Get this, and no boot with old high sierra...
Any ideas?
I dont have any other apple product.
I can't speak to the 9,1 or any machine with NVIDIA graphics, but on the 8,1 and 7,1 with an AMD/ATI card, it causes a crash. Maybe the backlight patch works with the NVIDIA kexts?
Yes, this happens when you install Mojave over an old High Sierra. Use DU in the Mojave patcher to erase the disk, and install a fresh copy of Mojave onto the disk. Then use Migration Assistant to pull files you need from a TM backup to the Mojave disk.
that could be possible but did the backlight patch work for AMD/ATI in High Sierra in the update patcher I wonder what the change was from High Sierra and Mojave
It did work in High Sierra, but my backlight control worked with or without it. I only installed it to get the patch updater to stop pestering me to install it at every login.
Yeah. Just found it out...
I applied patcher
Now it seems to start.
Have to config my book now.
Lets see if it is mojave...

maybe try redoing your macOS Mojave patcher usb it might be best to reformat it first before using the MacOS Mojave patcher utility then try reinstalling Mojave and make sure you boot back in the the usb and apply the post install patches for your Mac
Does anyone here have their macOS Mojave in the Apple beta software program in enrolled just a bit nervous about installing the update says public beta 2 is available
As I have the same 15" early 2008 MBP: Did you have to take any special steps to get it running on that machine or just use the patcher as is?
So guys, I had this problem, that I successfully install macOS Mojave, and after restart, I open the patch tool, but when I click patch bottom, it crush and jump back to the macOS installation screen, I though I successfully patch it, so I reboot, but nothing change, it still stop me to get into the system, is there anyone can tell me how to fix it ?????
something seems to go wrong with 0.1b9:
the post install App dont open when installed to usb nor HD
If I open the post install app inside the patch package without installing to stick / partition it runs
but...
it broke my working 18A326h. KP (log attached) after loading graphics (Mac Pro 3.1, HD5870)
reapplying the patches with 01b8 doesnt get it back.
just restoring my backup now
always recommended, saves time in fiddling with the beast
