Latest security update 2019-001 10.14.6 borked my MBP4,1. I used dosdude1's Mojave patcher to recreate a USB installer and was able to revive the machine. Anyone else had problems with the update?
Got a tip for us?

Hi @olad
I installed the update 18G1012 last night on my MBP5,3
After reapplying the post installation patches with force cache rebuild it has rebooted successfully and everything worked EXCEPT "Siri" which has been updated and no longer works.
I just solved this problem by replacing Siri.app in /S/L/CoreServices from (18G103) and Siri works again!
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that I did not recreate a USB stick with the latest Patcher (1.3.5), I only extracted "macOS Post Install.app" from (macOS Mojave Patcher.app ▸ Contents ▸ Resources) and replaced the one of my installation USB key in (Applications ▸ Utilities)

Re. Resizing MPatcher USB: used iPartition first to shrink the first partition to ~10GB from ~16GB Then "grew" the untitled + free space now created to ~19GB, thereby recovering all the previously wasted space in the USB Patcher volume. Had never used iPartition before, but it works like a charm. Very cool! Highly recommend getting it free while it lasts. Was discontinued at the arrival of 10.14, since they couldn't deal with APFS.

Yep, 2019-001 KPd my iMac 10,1. Did hard shutdown, since the KP notice kept looping. Then booted to USB Patcher, applied patches, got the Mojave login window, but bluetooth mouse wasn't connecting, even after waiting quite a while. Went to wired mouse for a bit, until bluetooth mouse was up again and everything was good. (KP had happened once before last week, when installing the 2019-001, and didn't recover completely. This time knew what to do...sort of.)

Thanks for the excellent find! Nice to get the sound wave back.
My thanks to @alphascorp and @RK78. The laptop's back online.

2019-001 10.14.6 ran on my 17" Early MBP4,1 but required booting into latest dosdude1 Mojave patcher to reapply the patches.... Then installing bkltpatch10.14.2 "Backlight Patcher" for my unique 17" display.
My USB drive has a patcher version 1.3.3 while Mojave installer at 14.6.06... How do I update just the patcher to 1.3.5 within the drive without having to re-create the USB installer again...?
I don't believe you can perform such an in-place update. If you saved the original MacOS installer download, just grab the latest patcher and process that again - overwriting the USB stick.
Did just that, took about 10 minutes start to finish.
After using the Mojave patch from dosdude1 link page and installing Mojave on my afps volume all works well but I have no sound. When I go to settings I cannot find input or out put. Siri too not working. How can I get the sound back.
Lastly the patcher shows version 1.2.0 in utility folder inspite of downloading latest patcher.
Lastly the patcher shows version 1.2.0 in utility folder inspite of downloading latest patcher.
Re-installing the Legacy Audio Patch using Patch Updater will fix that issue. The latest Patch Updater version is 1.2.0.
Mojave patcher for unsupported systems and patch updater, two different apps with different purposes.
Ok thanks all. Got my volume and sound back but apparently Siri is not working. any clues.
I figured my old 2009 iMac11,1 was stuck on HS forever, but I finally bit the bullet and did the Mohave Patcher procedure. Took a few days to get the updates installed and many, many reboots and backups (takes several hours on this beast). All seemed to be working well until just now when I found out MY sound wasn't working either. I did the patch updater and saw it update the Legacy Audio patch, but still no system audio output (Apple TV as an output doesn't hack it for me!). So, jbarley, shouldn't this do the same thing as rebooting to the Patcher stick and reapplying my set of patches?
Did you read at least the last 13 posts of this thread?
I will do that.

I will try this step as I have similar issue. How do I get to open the security update installer package and get to remove the Siri .app

I just updated to this latest Mojave 10.14.6 security update 2019-002 release build 18G2007
and noticed that Siri works correctly OOB but without the wave animation, could you or someone else upload the zipped "Siri.app" (18G103) ?
I'd want try that to check if it restores the oscilloscope wave animation on non-metal machine.

Sorry for asking a question that might be obvious to most of you--
I have an iMac 9,1 and am trying to get Brightness button the the keyboard to work after installing Mojave with DosDude's patcher (Thanks, DosDude).
I want follow the above instructions, but I am not quite sure how to do so. I have downloaded and extracted the ZIP file. What do I do next?
I tried opening Terminal and then I copied and pasted the code listed, but this is what I get:
cd /path/to/bkltpatch10.14.2
/path/to/bkltpatch10.14.2: No such file or directory.
./install.sh[iMac:~] (name)% ./install.sh
./install.sh: Command not found.
Again, I know that my problem is that I only know enough to be dangerous, but can someone direct me in how to do this properly, please. I appreciate your help.
Hi @Bill Forest,
Copy "bkltpatch10.14.2.zip" ON YOUR DESKTOP and unziped it
You have now on your desktop a folder named bkltpatch10.14.2 with 4 files inside
Open Terminal and write (or copy) this:
Code:
cd desktop/bkltpatch10.14.2;
install.shThis should work properly
On iMac7,1 and iMac8,1 (I have not tested on iMac 9.1) this does not work and gives Kernel Panic, 2 files should not be replaced but only "DisplayServices.framework"
Take a look at this:

Hi everybody I run a new thread because someone deleted my addition about this on the first page of the thread "macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs" perhaps thinking that my discovery was useless and not worth it! All is in the title! I have two unsupported iMac8,1 with macOS Mojave and I...

Tried that but still no wave animation, on Mojave 10.14.6 build 18G2007 however Siri (v146.15.4) works OOB without animation.
edit:
In my case I needed also to replace the SiriUI.framework , now I have the Siri wave animation too: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...unsupported-macs-thread.2121473/post-27957813

Could you upload zipped only your current SiriUI.framework ?
(even if there are many as SiriCore and Siri*)
