macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

Screen flashs: Check if you have set some aid for impaired vision/sound or if sound is off completely for some reason (legacy audio not patched, wrong output selected etc.)
Spot on: in System Preferences - Sound there's "no Output Device found"
Patch Updater says version 0 (zero) for "Legacy Audio Patch"
I did a reinstall of all patches, rebooted, and now sound works and there are no flashes
Thank you @Larsvonhier !

Straight through from the 10.14.2 to 10.14.3. Installed the update manually as I need to update my supported system as well. All up 25 min (including downloading the update, running patches, manually patching night shift, running Onyx).
I had to run Onyx as going into Displays in System Preferences was casing System Preferences to crash.

I have been using them on the betas but I haven't tried the final version yet. I'll do so later.
No problems with the 14.3.2 full installer of macOS 10.14.3 as patched by Mojave Patcher 1.2.3 when installing on a Macpro 3,1 with GTX-680.
After updating and patching, my late 2009 iMac won’t finish the start bar process. Please, help me. Thanks.
Patch with rebuilding the caches.
mmmm, Reinstall the OS, data will remain intact, skip step 5 & 6 via: http://dosdude1.com/mojave/
The most robust way to upgrade from one point release to the next is to download the newest full installer and use the Mojave Patcher application to create a new installation memory stick rather than trying to use the software update approach.
That’s what I’ve done, like precedent updates.

It this doesn’t work, can I restore to 10.14.2 with Time Mache backup?
It seems that Time Machine backup system restore will depend on HFS+ or APFS. If you use APFS you probably need your machine to be able to boot APFS natively. I recently learned the hard way that I could not restore the system from the Time Machine backup. I use APFS with my SSD and APFS patch(verbose bootup).
I’ve restored one year ago without any issue, with 10.13.x, I think.
Would you mind giving me some info about that Time Machine restore that you did. What was the format of your target SSD: HFS+ or APFS? If it was APFS, does your machine boot APFS natively?
I think ROM patch need it Time Machine restore for APFS drive.
I don’t have SSD, it’s the original hard drive that come with the iMac (late 2009). I think it’s HFS+.

Hello, I've been using the DosDude1 patch for the last 4 installs but always via the USB key boot method. Should I be able to use the Software Update in System Preferences? I tried it earlier today but it told me that my 10.14.2 was the latest available version. I'm quite happy to carry on using the USB key boot method but I was just curious.

I used Mojave Patcher 1.2.3 to download MacOS Mojave, but it downloaded 10.14.2 instead of 10.14.3.
Then I installed via Software Update and used the patched 10.14.2 USB drive to fix the boot loop.

Reinstalling OS didn’t fix the problem. Now I’m restoring from Time Machine. 10 hours left.
MacbookPro5,2 (17" mid-2009) stuck in boot-loop after Sys Preferences update. Booted to patch USB installer, ran post-install with forced pre-link kernel option and all is good.
