Boot after power-on with CMD+S (single user mode) then try the follows:

mount -uw /
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/GeForceTeslaGLDriver.bundle
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHD3000GraphicsGLDriver.bundle
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver.bundle
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX3000.kext
reboot

I dont have the rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX3000.kext thats what the message said after typing it into the command line.
Do I need to move it back into that folder?!
But I swear to god the next & first beer is on me if I gonna see you!!! It worked!!
you guys are awesome! especially jackluke for his fast and kind feedback! <3

no matter, just reboot and check if you can land to the Mojave desktop.
Which mac/macbook do you have ?

If you own a mac with Nvidia or IntelHD you can surely achieve OpenGL acceleration after applied this: 10.14.4 accel patch

MBP 8,1 2011. It booted fine in the end.
and I could make a dosdude1 Patcher update.
I would try to do the hybrid patch, since my sidebar does not work properly showed. do you recommend this?

EDIT: How can I install/proceed to fix this? And my F1 and F2 Buttons dont work either sadly even with Brightness Controll :(

EDIT 2: No need for the Hybrid Patch, since it got fixed after the update! Dunno how but it shows me everything properly!

It depends, your MBP 8,1 2011 is a 13" inches display or 15/17" ?

On 15/17" inches I don't know how to get OpenGL working correctly, so you may ask to others for these machines.

Sorry my fault its an 8,2 and 15" with i7 and Intel HD 3000 Graphics

EDIT: I got shown at system properties, that I got a Intel HD graphics 3000 and a AMD Radeon HD 6490M at PCIe.
So actually I dont get it whats the patch then doin? Can I use my graphiccard normally?

If the two GPUs are detected in system profiler, then I guess you can use them quietly.

But why it showed me the annomaly in the first place then? If it "works" fine? and actually I could use them?
I set it via gfcCardStatus to integrated only. And also I was forced to disable everything like AppleMacFinder did started the thread, cause my MBP didnt worked at all.

EDIT : my MBP does now after the re-installing patches...black bars at the safari line. Also it works much slower than before. :/ Any tipps?

You have to re-install this kext /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHD3000GraphicsGLDriver.bundle
but first you need the dosdude1's 10.14.4accel otherwise you will re-enter in bootloop.

As I told you I don't know well these machines MBP 15/17 but only the 13".

My last advise is apply first the dosdude1's 10.14.4accel patch then bring Acceleration to your IntelHD3000 using that file, you can retrieve from here: InteHD3000 stock and patched VRAM kexts

Can I just get my old .kext Files from the backup folder? Or how should I proceed? i just downloaded the accel and gonna install it now.

I guess you have mixed the dosdude1's Post Install, with 10.14.4accel patch and with my IntelHD3000 kexts, then boot again with CMD+S and try these:

mount -uw /
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX3000.kext
chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/
kextcache -i /
reboot

if after that you still can't reach the desktop then boot with CMD+S and:
mount -uw /
rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHD3000GraphicsGLDriver.bundle
reboot

My screen is totally black. It does not show anything at the display. No light or anything... . Just the "sleeping" light on the right side at the bottom of the case is constanly on.
 
I have a problem with the 1.3 Patcher version. It broke my ScanSnap Scanner, mostly because of the new USBoHCL Patch. Anywway I can use the old USBOHCL patch on 1.3?

The MacBookPro 8,2 series is famous in most cases to have faulty AMD video card from factory, so there are some techniques to exclude this GPU but you should wait for others opinions here.

Meanwhile hold power button for 10-15s, then try also a PRAM reset.
Or let cooling the MBP and try later after a couple of hours.

tried both, nothing works. it only allowed me to do a SMC-Reset. But no PRAM-Reset works.
:(
Thats pretty ...ucked up... :(

Try to open the bottom case and toggle for some minutes then reseats the RAM sticks.

It's the faulty AMD/ATI GPU, reported by most here if you do search.

Yes I did that long time ago... . Anyway nothing happend. Still a blackscreen with the light at the case on.
Also I it does not allow me to do a PRAM-reset... . with CMD+ALT+P+R :/

Try to remove a RAM stick use only one of them if you have two installed.
It's 99% the faulty AMD GPU the reason why it doesn't pass the POST power-on sleep white led, not a EFI brick.

Maybe check also here: Faulty AMD MBP 8,2 fix

no screen is showed. only once it did... and then it was my mistake...i turned it off...as a routine. since nothing happend always before...so actually I did both things with the RAM, moved only one into it in both slots and nothing worked :( no PRAM works. SMC worked fine... :/

I guess it's the faulty AMD GPU the reason, try let getting cooler the MBP 8,2 for many hours, unplug the internal battery maybe. Other users reported they had heated the AMD GPU Chip with hot air, and then it booted up again, but the key on these defective MBP is to exclude the discrete AMD GPU using only the Integrated IntelHD3000.
 
Hi friend!!! Sorry, what si the lega y video card Patch? Where i can download?
Thanks!!!!

dosdude1 said:
Alright, got everything figured out! To get acceleration working under 10.14.4 with a non-Metal GPU, just download this archive, extract it, cd into the extracted directory using Terminal, and then run ./install.sh. Please ensure you have the Legacy Video Card Patch installed properly (you can re-apply it with the post-install patch, or re-install it using Patch Updater after running the script just to be sure). After rebooting, you should now have full graphics acceleration!

Did your screen ever show some weird graphics? like a pink or grey pattern?
 
jackluke said:
I had similar issue and it was caused by the CoreBrightness (Night Shift) patched framework, you should try to use the stock (unpatched) one, or maybe try this one, from Terminal:

open /S*/L*/Private*/CoreB*/

and from Finder replace the file inside that path with the one (patched) I posted, reboot and check Keyboard backlit.

I understand but even if your latest 10.14.2 worked also on some future releases, don't you plan to release one hybrid patch from 10.14.3 binaries ?
I ask because I consider that Mojave build the best one for this thread.

[doublepost=1553851601][/doublepost]

I find agree, I noticed that with latest HighSierra build 10.13.6 Security update 2019-002, many frameworks are being very similar to the Mojave ones (example CoreBrightness, probably Skylight and others), but I guess in your case you have an unofficially semi-Metal GPU.

edit: @pkouame, @Badruzeus posts have been merged not for my will, the CoreBrightness attached is for @Freedy23

I couldn't work on a 10.14.3 hybrid update. I'm catching up on developments here, is 10.14.3 more stable than 10.14.4? If so, why? I'm thinking most of us are on 10.14.4 by now, that's why I focused on a 10.14.4 hybrid update.
