macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

[Pinarek]

= "indigothory, post: 26630426, member: 310743"] Same here on my Late 2008 Macbook, installed the update, rebooted and it hangs on the light coloured screen with the apple logo and loading bar. Rebooted into the usb drive and applied the patches again and checked to rebuild caches and still the same. Is there a fix or is it another complete reinstall?

@indigothorische see my post upper here to Juilan !

@indigothorische see my post upper here to Juilan !

Thanks, but I don't understand what you did, my Late 2008 Macbook is a Macbook 5,1

 

[Pinarek]

You do not understand what I mean .. Well then you're unlucky ... Man I mean you should then try another device than your damn MacBook 5.1 try.

You certainly use the dosdude1 Mojave Patcher or not? and with select devices you should then try a different device than your normally macBook 5.1 .... now understood what you should do?

Does anyone else have the issue where you can’t erase the patcher installer drive without erasing the whole flash drive? The erase button is grayed out and the only way to erase the disk is through terminal. For nonpatched installer usbs, the erase button is not grayed out. This is normally not an issue as I can erase the whole volume flash drive, but now that I created a partition of my SSD to use as a patched installer, and erasing the whole SSD would erase all my boot partitions. I erase it frequently because I switch from Mojave installer to El Capitan installer a lot. Thanks!

Finally got around to installing the replacement EVGA GTX-680 PC Card into my MacPro 3,1. Both patched High Sierra and patch Mojave work fine as expected with Metal v3 and v4 support respectively. Flashing the Mac ROMs went perfectly using the Hiren's bootcd approach described on YouTube. I did notice one oddity between the PC ROMs and the Mac ROMs. Booted under the PC ROMs on patched High Sierra, the About This Mac dialog shows 2047 MB for the card but under the Mac ROMs this properly shows 2048 MB.

Under BootCamp, Windows 10 October release automatically installed Nvidia drivers. Does anyone know if the upstream Nvidia drivers from the vendor have major advantages making those worth installing?

Yes Julian I now have the problem (in my case anyway) found.
I have a Hackintosh HackBook, is a Medion Akoya P8610 but runs as an iMac 10.1 SMBIOS, other versions of SMBIOS, like MacBook 5.2 (most similar to the hardware) does not work.

Ok now for the update from 10.14 Final to 10.14.1 and 2.
Install .. after the 1st reboot then again from the USB stick dosdude1 Mojave Patcher run and just this time not my iMac10,1 but I just once on suspicion then iMac 12.2 selected. Then select the appropriate patches as always. And lo and behold, he then boats without problems and installed to end.

With the repeated attempt (out of curiosity), he then also with the selection iMac12,2 not continue .. then I just once iMac12,1 selected and lo and behold, he then boot after reboot and installed properly to the end.

Why is that so coincidental that it works?

Previously at Betas 10.14 (Beta1 through 11), there were no such issues.

Incidentally, with the wonderful tool of gengik84 (User in insanelymac forum) the MacOS_Updater (so you can install Mojave on HFS + synonymous now update the 10.14 to 10.14.1 and 10.14.2) I hang the tool times in the attachment with it. Therefore, APFS is no longer necessary on our Hackis and your original Macs.

Let me see if I understand. I should apply the patches right when it reboots to install instead when it’s done installing?

I get this error (screenshot) if use Mojave patcher to create USB disk for iMac 2010. Mojave Patcher is running on MacBook Pro 2018 with Mojave system installed.

Thanks

I’m also havinf trouble understanding his fix. I’m stuck on the boot screen and have been for too long.

Has anyone gotten acceleration to work on the 2011 MBP 15 inch ? I am still going to get a 2012, but for the time being, want to know if full acceleration will now work under Mojave, since it is now out.

@dosdude1
A few weeks ago, I prepared a usb key with the patcher (Maybe it's macOS Mojave Patcher 1.1.0, before the final of Mojave). From the files on the usb key, I wonder if there is a way to know the version of the patcher used when creating the installer ?
Thank you

I believe he is suggesting to select a different mac model(than what your current model is) from a drop down menu of the post install tool.

I installed Mojave on a MacBook 8,2 and disabled the AMD GPU as stated in your instructions. Unfortunately two things are not working anymore:

- Closing the lid doesn‘t put the MacBook in standby
- The brightness function keys are not working anymore. All other keys work fine

Are this known issues or did I miss something?

Get a 2012, even if I have serious doubts that even a 2012 machine could be no more supported from macOS 10.15 future major next release.

@FlorisVN

Phew, I was hoping that there is an entirely software based solution

nope, i doubt its possible.
Ask Dosdude1 I would say, but I think this is the reason they develop mods like this to still get it working..
I dont think a software solution is possible here...

Indeed, I also think 2012 is in the last year for support.
Or just perhaps one more year to go, we will see...

Probably Macos 10.15 will no longer support 2012 Macs nativly, but who knows...
Perhaps Dosdude1 can safe these users again...

[QUOTE = "avz, post: 26631513, member: 1148741"] Ich glaube, er schlägt vor, ein anderes Mac-Modell (als das, was Ihr aktuelles Modell ist) aus einem Dropdown-Menü des Nachinstallationswerkzeugs auszuwählen. [/ QUOTE]

Yes, that's what I mean ..... boot from the stick with Mojave Patcher then put in "select device" different model of the appropriate hardware.
Hackintosh is easier with the Clover Bootloader than with the damn orig. Macs.

 

[cybermol]

is there a fix for the bluetooth issue, after the update my bluetooth headset doesn't connect properly anymore

 

[StellarVixen]

OMG this thread is biggest Mac thread ever, I checked the ones for older Mac versions, and none had this many pages.

 

[jackluke]

Try this: Bluetooth Mojave Kext

 

[cybermol]

You should use these two kext IOBluetoothFamily.kext and IOBluetoothHIDDriver.kext taking from a Mojave clean installation or late HighSierra, using those inside the USB Installer I guess won't work cause they are smaller in size so presumably can't cover all the BT devices.

In case you don't have, I attach both the Bluetooth kexts from a clean Mojave GoldenMaster, replace the ones inside your Mojave /System/Library/Extensions/ after you have to launch Terminal and type:

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

works for me, thanks!!!

Hey guys, is it possible to increase vram in MacBook 13” mid 2010?

 

[jackluke]

Hey guys, is it possible to increase vram in MacBook 13” mid 2010?

No, because VRAM aka VideoRAM on macs represents both the memory shared from physical RAM and memory installed into the GPU chip, GeForce 320m should be a gpu with dedicated RAM.

 

[yeiyei0891]

sometimes randomly when I turn on the Mac the load bar takes longer than normal and when it ends the keyboard doesn't work and I have to force the shutdown. Is this happening to someone else?
