macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

[jackluke]

It booted, but now system preferences gives me error on some things like energy management, iCloud, general, desktop... Etc... What's wrong? How can I recover?

There is still something wrong in my script, anyway try to manually copy from Finder that CoreBrightness file. Maybe the error is in "-R" parameter valid only for subfolders or you need to specify the entire path /Volumes/YourMojaveLabel/Users/YourUsername/ and so on.

edit:
Maybe I forgot the chown/chmod I have edited the post take a look back.
There is no need to repeat all the steps, just the chown/chmod part, you can do also from the Terminal of your booted-error Mojave.

Try an in place update

Could you please explain?

I get it. Just replace manually that corebrightness file and now all works well.

Well done, since now you know how to fix it, try this Night Shift patched upon dosdude1 cbpatcher
replacing your file, then reboot and see if night shift, this is my patched CoreBrightness with the dosdude1 Night Patcher, totally working for me even in the earlier version he developed.

How can I do this on my MacBookPro7,2!

Just go there: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/Versions/A/CoreBrightness
and replace corebrightness file for the patched one

You used the patch from page 87... Like I said, it does not work with the latest Mojave beta. You need to revert your CoreBrightness framework back to the stock one from your build of Mojave (I assume you backed it up, otherwise just re-install), and THEN apply the patch from the Patch Updater application.

Solved already. Yep. Just replaced with the backup up one and all is alright. Thx

But now I am using the one on the page 162 and is working great.

I’m back again on my MacBook 5,2 with night shift and the brightness control working again

I had to do a fresh install of Mojave (public beta 18A336e). My other install was essentially an update to high Sierra and I guess they don’t play well together.

However, my camera is still not detected and I did do the iSight Patch

 

[nekton1]

beta 5 tomorrow?

 

[thestenz]

dosdude1 is right, because starting from latest Mojave (build 18A336e) even if this patch still enables night shift it will produce some unwanted issues for ex. if you try to open "System Preferences" Keyboard/Mouse/Trackpad
(Olivia88 discovered first this tie)
[doublepost=1532854770][/doublepost]

I've verified, and I can assure your DVD issue does NOT depend from the patch on page 87, maybe other.
Anyway DVD it's working fine with Mojave beta 4 on MB7,1
[doublepost=1532854814][/doublepost]

I would say thanks to the "X"!
Anyway I guess you have to use on your Mojave partition the "First Aid" Disk Utility to fix the "X" (possibly booting from a Recovery HD or the USB Mojave Patcher).
[doublepost=1532855533][/doublepost]ONLY to those who have updated to Mojave beta 4 (build 18A336e) and had used the patch I did on page 87:

- Open Finder then GO "go to folder" or use keyboard shortcut cmd⌘+Shift+G and copy-paste:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/Versions/A/
(as if by magic this string path will translate automatically in your language locale)
- Replace the one inside this subfolder with the stock untouched CoreBrightness unix exe I have attached (after done send a reboot);
- Then use the new Night Shift patcher by dosdude1

Yeah I know the DVD doesn't depend on that. It was an observation. Apparently my drive stopped working. I'm going to swap it tonight later tonight.

SIP needs to be displayed right. To replace the patches cb

Yes the SIP should be disabled

That's an affirmative!

 

[visberry]

Ah that explains why I'm getting the little X when dragging it in. I'm installing a new HS partition to check it out before I install on my main OS. Extreme lengths
[doublepost=1532924811][/doublepost]For the status bar issue and finder sidebar, can we take like the docks transapancy and put in the status bar. Seems so strange how the dock is fine and the status bar is glitched.

dosdude1, can't thank you enough for night shift patch from your patch updater, it works great for my 2010 Mid MBP 7.1.

Which one is that (there are so many patches)

You already have all that you need: a TM backup of volumes, you can use it from Mojave's Utilities Migration Assistant, if you launch clicking continue it will bring you back to the Welcome Screen letting you choose the way of transfer, in your case from a time machine backup.
All explained better than me right here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204350

Sincerely I will keep an High Sierra installation until the Mojave Golden Master release, but I have to admin that Mojave beta 4 seems enough stable.
[doublepost=1532904522][/doublepost]

Maybe the "mv" didn't replaced recursively, anyway to avoid the reinstall, booting from your Mojave disk in single user mode (CMD+S) try these steps:

mount -uw /

rm -R /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/Versions/A/CoreBrightness

cp -R /Users/YourUsername/CoreBrightness-backup/CoreBrightness.framework/Versions/A/ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/Versions/A/

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework

reboot

Give it a try.

Thanks @jackluke for the advice on the TM backup/Migration Assistant tip.
I will certainly try it soon.

copy the one you see in the picture here you can drag it to your document folder then replace it with the one from dosdude1 on page 164 or try the night shift patch in the patch updater in your utilities folder
