Think about it how is the installer to know what is what on an encrypted drive, you need to unencrypt/ decrypt, install Mojave then encrypt.I am on High Sierra and I’m trying to upgrade to Mojave from a patched installer system.

I left mine unencrypted as I did not like not being able to use my Mac for a day when I accidentally encrypted it using file vault I ended up erasing my drive and did a clean installIf you think that is slow, try erasing the disk using the Gutmann algorithm. 35 passes, mate. It doesn't take a day, but several days on 500 GB SSD.
That's why I ran FileVault when my hard drive was relatively empty.
That was what I expected... But no... it appeared the mojave installer only.. strange.
to verify what seed you are on check the software update when it finishes checking for updates under the gear is should say whether your on beta seed or developer seedThis may help...

Worked from b3 to b4, although I'm having trouble with this from b4 to b5. But it may just be my configuration...
for example High Sierra could use 64 bit encryption and Mojave could use 128 bitThink about it how is the installer to know what is what on an encrypted drive, you need to unencrypt/ decrypt, install Mojave then encrypt.

Oh I'm definitely on developer seed. Never touched a public beta. Both my mp 3,1 and mbp 5,3 were in-place system updated from b3 to b4. If others aren't having issues, it must be my configuration. I'll post back if I find out what's wrong. I can always full install...to verify what seed you are on check the software update when it finishes checking for updates under the gear is should say whether your on beta seed or developer seed
The plot thickens. So not consistent across your Mojave machines.I tried using the SWU Switcher on my iMac 8,1 to go from beta seed to developers seed check for the update didn't show even though I installed it on my iMac 9,1 so maybe the update goes in phases like windows

You may want to try re-installing the Software Update Patch from the Patch Updater tool if you've done an update on that machine previously... It can get overwritten during updates.since my macOS Mojave was installed on a external usb hdd on my iMac 8,1 so I checked with it plugged into my iMac 9,1 still no update so yes the plot thickens
By nature of the way SSDs work, you don’t need to use 35 pass. Either a pass of zeroes or a utility that will issue TRIM to the whole drive would suffice. Multiple passes are only necessary for magnetic media. All you’re doing with more than one pass is wearing out the flash memory on your SSD
Thank you dosdude1 I will try thatYou may want to try re-installing the Software Update Patch from the Patch Updater tool if you've done an update on that machine previously... It can get overwritten during updates.
I did that only once, though. Never again, I would rather throw the disk in the blender.
But, I still that this myth is very alive, that says that deleted data on the SSD is unrecoverable.
This is wrong, and it has been proved wrong many times.
I'm getting some system updates for xcode command line tools (beta5) So I know it's not completely hosed. Still no system update to b5 in sight. Can one selectively re-install just the software update patch? And does it still just add the Faker dylib?You may want to try re-installing the Software Update Patch from the Patch Updater tool if you've done an update on that machine previously...

I tried installing the software update patch still didn't show a update so I went on the apple beta software program and reinstalled the macOS beta access utility and I am downloading the PB4 now its the same as Dev beta 5 and the PB4 update is 5.87 GB were DB5 was only 3.08 GBI'm getting some system updates for xcode command line tools (beta5) So I know it's not completely hosed.

Ok. Tell me if does an update or just downloads the full installer.I tried installing the software update patch still didn't show a update so I went on the apple beta software program and reinstalled the macOS beta access utility and I am downloading the PB4 now its the same as Dev beta 5
Mine did just the update from developer website, no download per sayOk. Tell me if does an update or just downloads the full installer.
yes it did download the full installer using the macOS Public beta access utility when you click the install says this update can't be installed on this machineOk. Tell me if does an update or just downloads the full installer.
