Being a novice makes me overthink things. When I was running diagnostics using EtreCheck I found that System Integrity check is turned off. I assume this is done to allow the patching to be done. Or am I completely off base thinking that? Now shouldn't it be on? And if so it has to be done with our boot Thumb Drive? Again I am probably overthinking again.

SIP needs to remain disabled some functions of the patches may stop functioning
 
Really slow the tool for download Mojave. Maybe saturated servers?

Not that much inconvenient, compared to not have Mojave. Don´t you think?

You are totally right *******, "I complain with my mouth full" as we say in France.
What I understood is update will be possible from an original Apple release of Mojave, and of course with APFS format disk.

Testing i can confirm a epic @#$% ton of good news.

Imac 9,1
With latest dosdude patcher and 8 gigs of ram
Results:
installation takes longer then the advertised 35 minutes took a total time of 1 hour and 15 minutes
you will need 8 gig's of ram to have a stable experience 4 gig's doesn't cut it.
very stable.

Macbook Pro 5,5 mid 2009
With Latest Dosdude patcher and 4-8 gigs of ram
Results:
Creating a Boot disk from the developer version to the latest version through dosdudes patcher doesn't work with the usb injector files in place tried the MacBook pro mid 2009 shut of the usb ports and had to reset the computer to get them back use the sd card slot on the computer for best results.

installation takes a long time boot takes 10 min once the computer is booted it is quite usable and stable 100%
both on 4 gigs of ram and 8 gigs of ram. the max for this model is 8

have had no issues have been using mojave with no limits
 
Now if everything goes as planned and the 10.4 release comes updating should go fine. Of course we might have to run patcher if things were changed.
I always keep the patch tool partition on an internal miniPCIe card in slot 4 of my Mac Pro 3,1. Great for reapplying patches (if needed). It runs faster than USB 2. :)

Please explain, I have the patch tool in my utilities folder where it was installed. Am I missing something? Do you mean the mini card loads on boot. But how do you use the tool?

He uses a miniPCIe card adapter to fit inside a NVMe SSD, M2 SSD or a PCIexpress mini sata SSD, however in optimal conditions much more faster than a SATA3, let's say a MiniPCIexpress SSD is about 7x faster than SATA3 SSD.

I have a major problem, all my USB stopped working after reboot. I have rebooted the Late 2009 Mac Mini 3,1 no luck. Any ideas? I have reset PRAM and SMC.

The system report shows all three drives in USB. But when I click on Time Machine icon it says drive unavailable.
Going to do a fresh install

Startup booting from the USB Mojave Installer, open Post-Install, target your Mojave Volume partition, select only any "USB patches", and checkbox the "Force cache rebuild", then reboot.

First the reason why is the usb injector file doesn't like certain versions of the usb 2.0 controller i had the same issue on a MacBook pro test laptop the usb wouldn't respond at all.

you basically s.o.l
[doublepost=1537375593][/doublepost]Also a warning if you are using it on a 2008 MacBook pro.

The usb injector files for legacy support burned out 2 usb ports on a test rig when i tried so the usb needs updating before or we are going to have a lot of dead usb ports.
