I'm running Mojave patcher on an early 2011 13 inch MacBook Pro. It is running Mojave version 10.14 Beta (18A384a). Yesterday Mojave was updated to the final version out of beta but I am not getting the update. Is there something I have to do to get the final version of Mojave?
Yes, remove your beta program profile in the store settings. Reboot. Done

Has anyone tried using a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)

I'm very angry that my 8core i7 will be abandoned to itself shortly.
4 mac left to abandon.. Thousands of euros in the toilet

Yes, my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 (8,2) working more or less flawlessly, aside from the dark gray menubar issue - which is definitely annoying. Now on to my 2007 iMac (7,1, with upgraded Penryn CPU)

Thanks, dosdude1 (and others) for making this possible. You deserve our thanks and support.

I have a 15" 2011 Macbook Pro 8,2 also and tried the beta a while back. I'm wondering if a second monitor via thunderbolt is supported now with just the Intel 3000. When I setup my laptop at home on my desk, I plug in a monitor for more screen real estate. This didn't work in the beta.

Ok I'm pretty sure I have the right EEPROM number, as I took it from the chip located in the attachment. I'm hoping you can verify for me I'm looking in the right spot.

I have a MacBookPro5,2 (A1297). The EEPROM written on the chip is MX25L3205DM21. The choices given to me when running the patcher from @dosdude1 are attached. I'm assuming the correct selection should be MX25L3205D/MX25L3208D but I love my 17" and don't want to brick it by assuming. Am I off on my thinking here?

Thank you!

Out of curiosity has anyone had success of upgrading your Mojave without a complete clean install? Everytime I tried as Mojave was being installed it got to only a few minutes left and it rebooted. So I shutdown and booted from the USB stick and applied the patch. On reboot I got the circle with the line. Maybe I am doing something wrong, if so pleae let me know for next time.
Are you running the install from the Dosdude1 patch disk and booted up from it? It almost sounds like you are updating from a regular install and if that is the case the MacOS Apple installer reboots several times, Dosdude1’s installer does not.
 
On my 10,1 iMac with SSD, I am getting errors in Disk Utility, both in recovery (started from my USB stick because the normal recovery partition doesn't work yet with @dosdude1 's tool?) and am getting errors.

Is this related to the patching?
I noticed that startup of Mojave takes much longer than with High Sierra, so I was looking into if something might be wrong, somewhere...
There is some corruption to at least a minor degree on your file system. If disk util. cannot correct it you might consider to do a fresh install on some additional drive and then migrate your user infos/apps/settings with the migration manager to this fresh disk, then clone it back to your primary hard drive / SSD.
 
SSD is in place where the dvd used to be. And as far as I know, it has a SATA connection. Sorry if I'm being insistent, just wanna be sure. Thank you again!

That is an internal connection, and TRIM should work. TRIM does not work on externally connected drives. Sorry, I took your use of the word "caddy" to imply a standalone external unit that is typically used for drive cloning, data backup, or portable storage (ie. a dock).

Hello Collin,

Is CAT (Continuity Activation Tool) works with Mojave ?
If ok, what is the correct version to use (the last beta 2.6 b6) ?

Thx a lot for your very great job !

Totally agree, and I add (since I use an external SSD Mojave APFS) that inside DiskUtility if I highlight the Mojave APFS Volume and ctrl+click on it "Get Info" scrolling down all the features I can read "Solid state" = "No" , so that's the main reason, it's not seen as an SSD Disk, and in my case (USB 2.0 bus) it has Up to 480Mb/sec instead of an internal 3Gb/sec Speed Link.

edit:
If I disconnect the same external Sata3 SSD and put inside the MacBook 2010, in diskutility/systemprofiler I get "Solid state" = "Yes" , "Trim support" = "Yes" and of course 3 Gbps Negotiated Link Speed.

Worked for me on 11,3 2010 iMac 27 i7. Removed AMDXRadeon3000.kext but graphics are a little slow. Everything else is spot on! Some clever folks out there helping the community...

You could try to replace these kexts from HighSierra into Mojave (take a backup of Mojave ones):

IOBluetoothFamily.kext
IOBluetoothHIDDriver.kext
IO80211Family.kext
IO80211FamilyV2.kext


After copied them fix /S/L/E/ permissions and rebuild kextcache, open a Terminal and copy/paste this in one line:

sudo chown -R 0:0 /S*/L*/E* ; sudo chmod -R 755 /S*/L*/E* ; sudo kextcache -i / ; sudo reboot

(at the moment I would exclude also replacing this: /System/Library/Frameworks/IOBluetooth.framework)

Before there was arrange and clean up, I guess now its groups and then clean up by? it looks like they got rid of arrange

Probably they got rid when (re)-introduced "Use Stacks" from View menu.
They claim this: "Mojave will automatically arrange a user's desktop with "Stacks" — grouping files according to type, date or tag"

Is any one else bothered about the messed up colors of menubar, context menus, tooltips and edges windows? It does not even look good in dark mode.

Trying to check Reduce transparency in Accessibility settings helps with it. But it gets really ugly without transparency.

Is this an issue that might be worked on in the future, or is dosdude1's patch final?
