Having the same issue with my MacBookPro8,1. Haven't patched it before in any way. What can I do now?
Got it, each computer needs to be enrolled individually. Thanks a lot and I really appreciate your hard work to keep many great old macs running!
I have the exact same issue on my MacBookPro5,3. I restored my files from a MacBook5,2 with NighShift Patcher. This could´ve caused issues, right?

I rebooted with Verbose output. It gave me lots of issues with corebrightness...
[doublepost=1532820600][/doublepost]Fixed the not booting issue. Its just hard to fix. I needed to grab a CoreBrightness framework from another mac, put it onto a USB drive, and copied it in the terminal from the install usb drive to my macbook. If somebody needs a Vanilla CoreBrightness framework, just hang me up.
@dosdude1 Can I use the Night Shift patch on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65)?

Why is RAM soooo expensive now?
Can you try patching again (re-install the patch using Patch Updater), and send me the resulting CoreBrightness if it ends up not working? I'm not sure what's going on, but I need to see if something's going wrong during the patching process. It worked fine during my testing, so I don't understand why it's not working for you.

Yes, it should work in 10.13 too, although I have not tested that. The binary patcher is attached, just run it like so:
"cbpatcher /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/Versions/A/CoreBrightness <path to save patched binary to, IE: /Users/user/Desktop/CoreBrightness>"
Then you'll need to move that patched binary into the Versions/A directory of the framework, set permissions correctly, re-codesign, and it should work.
Your on-the-fly patcher it's working fine on MB7,1 , and I noticed that it takes even a backup of the previous CoreBrightness.framework, but reading some posts, I guess, as explained into pikeralpha blog, should be created also a separate binary patcher for another group of machines, because it seems one excludes the other, for example:
MacBookPro9,x <---> MacBookPro8,x
I have tested it on my iMac 9,1 High Sierra 10.13.6 and night swift works fine
It shouldn't exclude any, as I have it setting it to require MBP1,x, etc...
Oh, it still says
"All credits for the methods used in this patch go to "Pikeralpha" at https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com" that is the one that breaks your system, is that just a bug? And if I do this and it does not work, can I revert changes?

what macOS are you installing the patch updates on and I am not sure I took the risk on mine to try just like I used the night shift patch from the High Sierra until dosdude1 created one if something broke I most like would have to install either macOS again
I am installing the patches on High Sierra 10.13.6, and I downloaded the Patch Updater using the .sh script. Didn't dosdude release a Night Shift patcher?
it should be included with the macOS High Sierra patcher after you do the post install patches
Yeah... but I am running macOS High Sierra on a supported machine, mid 2010 MacBook Pro (7,2)- but I will download the High Sierra patcher?
Night Shift is not officially supported on your machine even though high sierra is..
Yeah, I know, crazy. Apparently it relies on the Metal framework. From Apple's Doc:
Night Shift requires macOS Sierra 10.12.4 and one of these Mac computers, using the built-in display or the displays listed:
- MacBook models from early 2015 or later
- MacBook Air models from mid 2012 or later
- MacBook Pro models from mid 2012 or later
- Mac mini models from late 2012 or later
- iMac models from late 2012 or later
- Mac Pro models from late 2013 or later
you will have to disable your SIP when you run the macOS High Sierra patcher but flygbuss might be right
Yeah, my SIP is disabled. So just install?

My apologies. I was responding to @TimothyR734

you can try if it works it works but night shift works on both my iMac 8,1 and 9,1 both unsupported Macs
