It's past that, beta 11 is definitely the GM.

The GM (Golden Master) builds are only seeded by Apple to application developers as the last milestone in the development cycle of the soon-to-be-released iOS 12, watchOS 5, and tvOS 12 operating system series, which are expected to hit the streets next Monday, and the Monday after for macOS 10.14 Mojave.

A GM version of macOS 10.14 Mojave should be available as well next week to conclude the development cycle of Apple's next-generation operating system for its Mac computers. Until then, registered developers will have to install one more beta version that's available as we speak via OTA (Over-the-Air) updates, along with the Xcode 10 beta GM seed.
 
Something interesting happened. I went to download the patch tool again, and my browser Chrome prevented me from doing it. It said the site and download are malicious. Has anyone seen this before?

For some reason, old versions of DirectHW.kext used in some of my tools were falsely detected by antivirus programs as containing some sort of virus. I've since fixed this, but for some reason Chrome now thinks my site is harmful because of it. You can simply ignore the warning.

@dosdude1 Have a general question on install. My system failed so I am back on Mojave but on the regular HD.
1. Would I be able to boot into the Patch flash drive
2. Point the install to the SSD connected via USB
3. Then once installed booted and patched replace the HD with the SSD

Would that work, as my method before using SuperDuper failed.

I have 2 Xserves, one of them is a 2008 2,1 and the other 2009 3,1. Both of them contain Samsung 520gb SSD's. Dosdude's Mojave patcher works fine up to a point. It starts up from a USB, installs the 10.14 and patches everything expect the APFS patch needed to boot up the newly installed Mojave 10.14.

Here is my solution: I started up the USB thumb drive on a late model MacBookPro (2014) while the ssd from the server was plugged in via usb-to-sata and patched APFS again.
Popped the SSD back into the Xserve and it started right up.

I'm running Mojave on an Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro. It's running fine, but it seems that I am not getting the latest Mojave beta, when I run software update it says I have the latest version (it is beta 10). I run the Mojave Patcher update and it says there are no new updates. Is there something else I have to do to get the latest Mojave version 11? Thanks for your help.

so:
just updated to PB 10.

1. MM1 still not fully working. -DAMN. any solutions? (touch functions not working)
2. i installed CUDA Driver 8.0.53 - after every startup it pops-up, saying a new version is available. But a newer version says, no compatible HW found.
How to disable it?

APFS is required as a priority, otherwise it does not receive any updates.
Install the application: macOS Public Beta Access Utility or macOS Developer Beta Access Utility to receive future updates ota.

That is a tad exaggerated. If you read that a software update point release has occurred, you can simply download the matching full installer using Mojave Patcher, use it to create a new usb installer and do a full install over your current installation (ie an upgrade install). Cumbersome, yes, but not overly so and it keeps your archived usb full installer up to date with the most current full installer. As for Security Updates, those can be downloaded from Apple and manually applied.

Now my mbp won't boot up anymore.
It stucks on the grey screen with apple logo and progress bar. Progress bar is at 100% but nothing happens.

This happens after updating to pb 10 and reinstalling all patches via patch updater.

Post install tool already tried.

Any solutions?

for CUDA if you have a version higher than 6.0 it's fine, no need to update, however to disable updates try look inside here edit setting first variable FALSE or remove/move it directly:

/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nvidia.CUDASoftwareUpdate.plist

Try DiskUtility First Aid from USB Mojave Patcher, probably corrupted APFS structure scheme, unless is the patched CoreBrightness private framework, in that case remove it from Terminal and try to boot again:

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

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

reboot

Preparing for installation of Mojave on my MacPro 3,1 actually on High Sierra patched by dosdude1 patcher, I first tried to patch the ROM. When i clicked continue after starting in dev mode, I got first an error message and when I start again the patcher I got this message and I decided to wait an advise from dosdude1 to overwrite or not as indicated here:

My question :is it safe to overwrite or do i have to stop the all process ?????????? Many thanks for your help.

Yes that's right. That's correct, but besides making a new installer, I always check the OTA update for convenience.

I make the pendrive with new installer for security, but stuck for keeping the system working on the issue of automatic updates, after all I can remove ssd in the future and put on a compatible mac, no problems.
