macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

[TianjinMBP]

Do I upgrade...or not?? I have a MB Air 3,1 that has been upgraded to 10.14.3 using Dosedude1's patcher. I watch this forum and see lots of users having issues with .4 and reverting back to .3 for stability. Is upgrading to .4 problem free on the MBA? My Mac skill level allows me to follow directions such as with Dosedude1's patcher. It does NOT allow me to mess with Terminal or do stuff where you actually have to know what you're doing. Should I leap to .4 or just hold here at .3. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

It's really up to you and if you feel like going back to .3 if it fails. I did because mine auto updated and yacked on the patch version. Make sure you have a fresh Mojave Patch tool v1.3. AND a secondary USB with .3 on it so you can go back if you need to. Go to Dosdude's page and read the latest.

Good luck!

One more thing...
Test booting to your USBs, before you commit to the upgrade. Sometimes you'll get the NO (circle with a line through it) if the USB wasn't prepared correctly or there was a "glitch" with the creation. My lessons learned and what I've read.

I'm a few days in with .4 on my MBP 5,5 Mid-2009 13" and it's stable. Sleep works fine as well as everything except iSight, but then again I keep a piece of electrical tape over the camera. No KPs or large CPU/power drains. I think this is the last update for this old box. From what I've read about .5, it's really not meant to be.

I like the old unibody MBP because it was the last you could upgrade before Apple made them tinker proof.



BTW, I bought this puppy new in 12/2009. Still pristine and a tank.

Could you get a .5b2 to boot on dual gpu with...

.4 GPUWrangler
.4 IO kexts (Accelerator2D, AcceleratorFamily2, IONDRVSupport, IOGraphicsFamiliy + Shim of course)
.4 AppleGraphicsControl (AGC) kext (bundle)
.3 OpenGL
.3 GPUSupport

Essentially .4 Wrangler set (GPU and AGC) + dude's legacygpu post-install

Just thinking out loud..

I was wondering, do the new hybrid mode patches fix the dark mode corner graphics anomalies? thanks a lot.

The Hybrid patches are really focused on Light Mode fixes.

Some side-effects (like corners and bezels) are more noticeable in Dark unfortunately and I haven't (yet) found a fix for that. Those and full menu bar transparencies are two of the outstanding issues.

If you haven't already, post an issue on my github with screenshots (magnified) and your machine profile (especially graphics card profile). We can track this issue there...Thanks.

Ditto - my mbp 5,3 is still humming - it has a "real" keyboard, room to expand and runs Mojave .3 and .4 better than the OS it shipped with. They don't build'em like they used to...

For automation and to help those who do not understand the terminal, wrote two scripts to quickly install or remove SpiraMira HybridMode. It includes all patches from 10.14.1 to 10.14.4.
Script installer makes backups of the original system files. But if backups were not done manually during previous patches, the recovery script can only return original files for 10.14.4
I would add a recovery and for 10.14.1 - 10.14.3, it is enough to place their files in the Original archive, following the example of the folder that is already there. But I do not have this files yet. So, it will be possible to restore files only if these backups were created, or if the patch was made for the first time by this installer from the kit.
if someone helps these scripts and will be useful - then please use. GitHub

Thanks very helpful.

I think @0403979 was also attempting to do the same, so you may want to collaborate. I had a sophisticated one in the works (that backed up, verified chedksums etc..) but actually debugging the problems and packaging the fixes consumed all of my time. Any help is appreciated...Thanks again.

EDIT: your scripts should definitely use links to files in my github files folder. I will make sure it is up to date.

Regarding my MIDI keyboard controller issue...

Maybe it's a USB problem.

After spending a lot of time to find out what could cause the trouble I did a new installation of Mojave. On the post installation procedure I didn't add the LegacyUSBInjector and USBOHCI Support Patches.

Now the controller works as expected.

1. If you have the MIDI connected via a hub then connect directly to one of the mp3.1 native USB ports.

2. Reinstall Mojave but this time do not patch LegacyUSBInjector and USBOHCI. Some members have been running their mp3.1 without these patches with no problems and it solved their connectivity problems.

Thanks for the suggestions coasterOneEightThree and Flacko.

I'll reinstall 10.14.3 later today without the USBOHCI patch. I don't see a LegacyUSBInjector in my "Installed Patch Updates" list, but I'll double check during the post install.

I'm not using a hub and my MIDI controller shows up as connected in System Information/USB Device Tree, it just doesn't show up in Audio MIDI Setup like it does in High Sierra. I'll post an update after I reinstall.
Thanks again.

LegacyUSBInjector.kext is copied over here /Library/Extensions/
just remove or rename it to .kext2 , then reboot, a second auto-reboot will occur to rebuild your new kextcxache without the Injector, and MIDI device should work even with USBOHCI patch applied.

Yes, it still boot from DualGPUs system as before, I just mixed up things too much, since all my renaming/moving frameworks occur from a single user mode, I "mv"-ed for mistake the OpenGL .5 into the OpenGL .3 overwriting, also for some kext did the same mistake isntead of moving, I overwrote.
Even .4 OpenGL and GPUSupport do allow boot .5 beta2.

However for dualGPUs (at least in my case IntelHD+NvidiaTesla ) is required the .5 beta2 GPUWrangler.framework to boot GUI, while all the retro patches are confirmed.

Only when I swap the same .5 beta2 disk to a singleGPU sytem I need to use the .4 GPUWrangler.framework . Don't know exactly why but it works.

From the picture got achieved a broken transparency but no acceleration.

Thanks jackluke. I renamed the LegacyUSBInjector.kext, rebooted but there was no 2nd auto-reboot, and still no luck with my MIDI controller.

However: while staring at my MIDI Studio window in AMS I randomly clicked on the 'Configure Bluetooth' icon. A window opened stating something to the effect that MIDI services required 64 bit mode, and that a MIDI driver I had installed should be removed. This was an old M-Audio driver I had previously installed trying to get my old MIDIsport 2x4 MIDI interface to work with my non-compliant 5 pin Triton. Apparently it was a 32 bit driver.

Long story short I removed that driver from /Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers and my current USB MIDI controller successfully appeared in Audio MIDI Setup. It's now working as expected. Not sure if I should rename the LegacyUSBInjector.kext back to its original name or not. So far everthing seems to work as is.

Thanks again jackluke, coasterOneEightThree and Flacko for your suggestions. Cheers!

how is 10.14.14 on MacBook Pro 6,2 mid 2010? do we have full graphics acceleration?

You should. Some are running it just fine.
Keep in mind that the 10.14.3 vs 10.14.4 end user experience is not drastically different and some of the newer features Apple just released (like News+) are problematic.

When you downgrade the GPUwrangler framework do you also downgrade AppleGraphicsDeviceControl.kext?

EDIT: your scripts should definitely use links to files in my github files folder. I will make sure it is up to date.

I added to the script the download of patched files from your repository, if the Internet is available. If the Internet is not available or the download fails, local copies will be used as before. The script uses the path to the archives that I found, but can not (maybe for now) identify new versions by new archive name. If the archive name does not change and the file in it is updated, it will be successfully downloaded and used. But if the name is changed - the download will fail.
I use these versions in the script and their names

what do you mean when u say "problematic"? what kind of problems do it have?

News(when News+ is invoked) and Safari can crash under certain conditions. Just my experience - search the thread for other opinions.

When you downgrade the GPUwrangler framework do you also downgrade AppleGraphicsDeviceControl.kext?

Well, apparently only AGDevicePolicy is needed for booting with single IGPU or "GFX0" as treated by the AGC plugin.
But sometimes for convenience I replace/downgrade the entire AGC kext with all plugins and a GPUWrangler downgrade also works with an non-downgraded AGDC kext.

However if you start from a clean .5 beta2 , keeping all the stock kext/frameworks , only patching the IOUSB* legacy kext and C2D telemetry.plugin, you will be able to boot either from dualGPUs and single GPU machines, even with some unresolved symbols.

The issues are when trying to introduce the Framebuffer (and GL kext) for legacy non-Metal vcards.

Since IOGraphicsFamily and IONDRVSupport are kext common to all the Mac Nvidia GPUs (I suppose), and maybe also with IOAcceleratorFamily2 to all the IntelHD series GPUs , when you downgrade these of course is needed also an AGC kext downgrade and consequently a GPUWrangler downgrade.

I was reading at this: https://github.com/practicalswift/osx/tree/master/src/iographics/IONDRVSupport
to try understand more. But for other attempts I'll wait directly .5 beta3 .

Well, apparently only AGDevicePolicy is needed for booting with single IGPU or "GFX0" as treated by the AGC plugin.
But sometimes for convenience I replace/downgrade the entire AGC kext with all plugins and a GPUWrangler downgrade also works with an non-downgraded AGDC kext.

However if you start from a clean .5 beta2 , keeping all the stock kext/frameworks , only patching the IOUSB* legacy kext and C2D telemetry.plugin, you will be able to boot either from dualGPUs and single GPU machines, even with some unresolved symbols.

The issues are when trying to introduce the Framebuffer (and GL kext) for legacy non-Metal vcards.

Since IOGraphicsFamily and IONDRVSupport are kext common to all the Mac Nvidia GPUs (I suppose), and maybe also with IOAcceleratorFamily2 to all the IntelHD series GPUs , when you downgrade these of course is needed also an AGC kext downgrade and consequently a GPUWrangler downgrade.

I was reading at this: https://github.com/practicalswift/osx/tree/master/src/iographics/IONDRVSupport
to try understand more. But for other attempts I'll wait directly .5 beta3 .

Another (better) source is Apple's own macOS Open source here : https://opensource.apple.com .
They have archives up to 10.14.1 though, but that's my go to source for things like IOKit and IOGraphics code.

I tend to think it's best to always keep matching GPUWrangler and the AGDC bundle of kexts (whether .4 or .5) - way too much dependent code and resources (and reduces complexity).

I will attempt a straight OTA software update from .3 or .4 to .5beta2 applying dude's post-install (legacygpu) out of the box on my mbp 5,3 with dual Nvidia GPUs as a start - and then will see how it goes with acceleration.

BTW, anything happening on the Tesla kext front? Do they even need tweaking? If so why?

Thanks for the insight.

I added to the script the download of patched files from your repository, if the Internet is available. If the Internet is not available or the download fails, local copies will be used as before. The script uses the path to the archives that I found, but can not (maybe for now) identify new versions by new archive name. If the archive name does not change and the file in it is updated, it will be successfully downloaded and used. But if the name is changed - the download will fail.
I use these versions in the script and their names

Cool. By the way, I also archive the original frameworks and binaries in their respective folders. So can be used to restore in case one loses a critical backup.

FYI - the Resources folder also holds two files documenting (as best I can) the "secret sauce" behind the 32bit and 64 bit patches of CoreUI. It's in a state of flux right now.

@jackluke
Could you get a .5b2 to boot on dual gpu with...

.4 GPUWrangler
.4 IO kexts (Accelerator2D, AcceleratorFamily2, IONDRVSupport, IOGraphicsFamiliy + Shim of course)
.4 AppleGraphicsControl (AGC) kext (bundle)
.3 OpenGL
.3 GPUSupport

Essentially .4 Wrangler set (GPU and AGC) + dude's legacygpu post-install

Just thinking out loud..
[doublepost=1554912063][/doublepost]
The Hybrid patches are really focused on Light Mode fixes.

Some side-effects (like corners and bezels) are more noticeable in Dark unfortunately and I haven't (yet) found a fix for that. Those and full menu bar transparencies are two of the outstanding issues.

If you haven't already, post an issue on my github with screenshots (magnified) and your machine profile (especially graphics card profile). We can track this issue there...Thanks.
[doublepost=1554912193][/doublepost]
Ditto - my mbp 5,3 is still humming - it has a "real" keyboard, room to expand and runs Mojave .3 and .4 better than the OS it shipped with. They don't build'em like they used to...

sounds good. im on it
[doublepost=1554945647][/doublepost]@pkouame I have successfully posted the issue on your GitHub along with screenshots.

Got it! And yes, the new iOS based Apps like News (and more to come in 10.15 apparently) are rendering differently so restoring vibrancy using this approach is becoming more of an issue. Let's track these issues to resolution there. Thanks.

Finally add two last versions.

1.31 - contains all files locally but tries to download them from the repository. Can be used without Internet. Size 45Mb
1.41 - network version. it does not contain local files and downloads everything (original and patched) from the repository. Can not be used without the Internet but the size is 20kb. Update - if local files archives present now can use its.

1.31 - full version: https://github.com/Andrej-Antipov/SpiraMira-HybridMode-Patcher/releases/tag/1.31
1.41 - network version: https://github.com/Andrej-Antipov/SpiraMira-HybridMode-Patcher/releases/tag/1.41

Hello, I’ve just tried rerunning the DosDude1 procedure with an existing USB key, don’t know if it was created using 1.29 or 1.30. I then selected the MacBookPro 5,1 patch, on the basis that it worked last time. Sadly it didn’t work this time. Verbose mode reveals that it is getting stuck in the “too many corpses” loop. This was straight after a message about (I think) “/etc/server.rc” not being found.
Does any one have any idea what I should do here?
I’m using a Mac Pro (early 2009) 4,1->5,1.

Hi everyone!!

Today I accidentally update mi Mac mini 3,1 to them latest version of macos mojave and it won't boot anymore! I tried to reinstall the patches and rebuild caches but nothing works! Any idea what can i do to solve this problem???

Thank in advance!!!

 

[DaKing1512]

Hello Everyone, Ive been following this thread for quite a while and i'd like to thank the devs for their enormous efforts to make Mojave available to older mac machines.

Today I upgraded my iMac 11,2 (iMac mid 2010, 25") from 10.14.2 to 10.14.4 using dosdude's latest mojave patcher and using the suggested patches+recovery patch (I only use official releases) and for some reason the chess app fails to render anything (photo attached), yet if I do a safe boot, the chess app works but very laggy due to disabled graphics acceleration. Ive never faced this issue on 10.14.2, the chess app was working perfectly

id really appreciate your help in this regard

Apple has changed stuff in 10.14.4 that is the cause of these issues. It is possible that 10.14.3 is the last stable update for many unsupported machines.

 

[mychalme]

Mac mini 5,1 was working perfectly on 10.14.3. upgrade to .4 results in grey Apple logo screen that never boots. Progress bar loads at around 60% and that's it.

Was 10.14.3 the end of the line?

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks, Myles

First try to reset NVRAM and set boot args to something more typo-free, actual setting is
next-dev-mode=1 -no_compact_check -no_compat_check

and should read
kext-dev-mode=1 -no_compat_check

Then, run the patcher from the boot stick and patch for your machine, do not forget to rebuild caches.
Should do the trick then and boot fine from your installation.
[doublepost=1554969071][/doublepost]

Hi everyone!!

Today I accidentally update mi Mac mini 3,1 to them latest version of macos mojave and it won't boot anymore! I tried to reinstall the patches and rebuild caches but nothing works! Any idea what can i do to solve this problem???

Thank in advance!!!

Which version is it? .4 or .5beta(2)?
Solution depends on that.
.4 can be re-patched with v1.3.0 of dosdude1´s patcher when booted from the installer stick.
.5betas need other treatment and will not yet have OpenGL acceleration.
