Does the continuity activation tool work on Mojave? I can’t test it myself cause they don’t have a version for my Mac unfortunately.
Got a tip for us?

I need them to update my MB7,1 from Mojave DP 3 to DP 4. I have those from 10.13.6 but I read That those from 10.13.5 are better. Do you confirm that ?
Thank you
They are almost the same, use those from TimothyR734 if you intend to do a manual patching.
I'm using those from 10.13.6 same your machine, everything work fine.
Yes I intend to do a manual patching in my MB7,1 from Mojave beta 3 to beta 4.
So I have to replace those 5 IOSUB*.kext from 10.13.6 before updating. Is that correct ?
Correct, for a better installation instead of KextUtility use the pkouame steps same thread page 136.
You will need also to replace the com.apple.telemetry.plugin take a copy from your current Mojave beta 3!
Or if you don't care as me, delete it completely from /S/L/UserEventPlugins/ after you have upgraded to Mojave beta 4.
Also AppleHDA.kext is needed again to bring you the sound/mic.
So Do you think that it will not bootloop after updating before I can replace the com.apple.telemetry.plugin take a copy from your current Mojave beta 3, or delete it completely from /S/L/UserEventPlugins/ after you have upgraded to Mojave beta 4 ?
By the way, do you still use IOAccelerator unix exe from Mojave Beta 1 ?
Thank you
A couple of boot loop after a version upgrade are mandatory I would say.
Take a copy of telemetry.plugin, but the first immediate boot loop is caused by IOUSB*** or invalid new prelinkedkernel/kextcache file generated. The telemetry KP if occurs very later after the main boot sequence.
A simple solution, is to create with latest Mojave Patcher an USB installer, then upgrade from that and follow the Post Install guide.
I discourage upgrading from MacBook7,1 , unless it's an external disk that you intend to upgrade from a supported Mac.
So only in the second case you could try, otherwise no.
Please re-read the edited message, I often change my mind, trying to suggest risky free solutions.
Ok for AppleHDA ! Thank you

Edit : I don't understand. How to upgrade from the USB installer ?
Edit 2 : I intend to upgrade from MacBook7,1 because I don't have a supported Mac.
Thank you
I do use IOAccelerator beta 1, but all the others work, I use only because without it I have issues in Finder Views Sorting List.
Anyway you can safely upgrade in-place from your MB7,1 since ASiententBot done it too, and has written also a tutorial about on page 147
Please re-read my edited message. I put another precision.
Thank you
1) Yours is a good question, I don't know if Mojave Patcher can do an in-place version upgrade after booting from it.
2) You can, because ASiententBot done it too, I was just worried if an in-place upgrade could call a risky EFI firmware upgrade for your unsupported machine, but apparently it will not happen, so you could upgrade from MB7,1 to Mojave beta 4.
Anyway for these stuffs I use EVER a supported Mac.
Even if I haven't used yet I am sure that Mojave Patcher is 100% safe.
@ASentientBot - A few questions about the graphics patches:
- Which release do they all come from?
- It looks like the GeForceTesla NOP bypasses a call to free memory and buffers. Is it still relevant for my GeForce GTX 680 (on macpro 3,1) and is it related to a specific Nvidia web driver version?
@dosdude1 - feel free to chime in if you can.
Thanks.

They come from 10.13.5. Newer cards don't even use the GeForce Tesla kexts, so nothing to worry about in that regard with a GTX680.
Thanks - I'll experiment with the 10.13.6 versions when I have time to play with my 3,1. Do you think the native Mojave betas may also work? This would make my post install even simpler.
Yes, you don't need to apply the Legacy Video Card patch at all with the GTX680 (which is why it's not installed by default on any machine with an upgradeable GPU).
The patched GeForceTesla comes from Mojave DP2 though right? We should probably get that updated for final release at least.
Enough. Since I got work offer in Japan, I am buying 2018 4core version of MBP 13" with Touch Bar (ofc with of 16Gb RAM) this Christmas. I gave up with my 2011 13" MBP. It is too old, for 7.5 years it was a good run!
No, it doesn't even exist in any Mojave release.
Still hoping Nvidia to release WebDriver with Tesla support after Mojave final, though.. IDK what the benefits for nvidia.
