Why wait? ?Thanks, guys!
I leave this machine as it is, with HFS+. So I guess, I'll have to wait a few days...

Maybe, but I don't know. I always thought OpenCore was meant for non-Apple systems. I use rEFInd Boot Manager.
Attached is a OpenCore boot picker, it should see everything bootable connected to the Mac. You'll need a fresh USB, comes with built-in instructions. A very useful tool.
I converted the Mojave partition on my 7,1 MBP to APFS and it worked great. All the way to the end. Did the same to my 3,1 MP and it won't boot from the APSF partition. It won't see the partition when it comes to booting, but erasing, reloading & patching no problem. Just after the first batch of stuff the partition becomes invisible. I've booted off an APFS partition before with no problem. And it went so flawlessly on the MBP. Except this last update through SilentKnight took forever.
Does anyone know what would be the best way to convert the boot drive from HFS+ to APFS on a Mac Mini 3,1 without completely erasing? Mac Mini 3,1 does not natively support APFS booting. When booting from an external drive, the option to Convert the boot drive from HFS+ to APFS is greyed out.
Unfortunately, you are stuck w/Apple's out-of-date RAID implementation, no APFS/RAID 0 issue. This eventually will change as Mojave is phased-out by macOS 12. A fair but minor point, tho. Have you read this? https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/mojave-on-raid-with-apfs-a-howto.2125096/

Have you tried booting into macOS Recovery and running Disk Utility from there?
One caveat - must have a APFS bootable ROM for this to work. Sorry for the slow APFS brain-fart. ?

You can Restore To from the Disk Utility clone you made or Restore from Time Machine in macOS Recovery or re-install from USB then use Migration Assistant from Time Machine. Often, a fresh install fixes old problems.

Hi all,
Successfully updated MBP5,3 (HFS+) with SecUpd2021-003Mojave (18G9028).
After, installing this update, needed reboot on USB Key and re-patch with Dosdude1's Patcher with force cache rebuild.
As every time, appleGVA.framework, softwareupdate.framework, HIToolbox, Siri.app and SiriUI.framework (for Siri waveform) have been replaced.

In answering vysyus' post, it wipes the drive. As far as what you are suggesting, personally, I do it all the time. Except I can't get my new APFS partition to boot. Of which I have had no problems with APSFs before this. I can get to it from anywhere except to start up from a fresh install to update it. So I have been using Disk Util to wipe the partition/container from the Patcher Installer a lot in the hope that something is getting left out during the install and I might luck out and get a working volume.
Hello Everyone!
last couple of days or 2 weeks the 2010 late Macbook Air running Mojave (10-13.4) is very sluggish and spinning ball galore all of the sudden.
this patch-OSX was installed on a fast ssd drive formatted for Mojave and worked incredible since the install last May,
up until recently.
the responsiveness is fading even after the pram resets and using EDGE because safari 14.0.3 is horrible slow. the Photos program is the real problem were nothing gets opened, saved, exported or even seen without the ball spinning more than tires at the tour de France.
Is this down-performance due to a newer edition of safari and photos?
is anyone else experiencing this under performance?
as far as reverting to an older OSX being an option, asking for advice might be easier
than a ssd swap of Mountain Lion which still performs great, but eliminates icloud and 2021 internets.
thanks for reading and if this slowness is something the macbook air is stuck with, that was a great ride!

Does the Continuity Activation Tool still work in Mojave? I remember it working during betas but never looked into it after as I didn't need it at the time. My 4,1 is obviously supported by Mojave but I'm interested in putting a USB dongle in it and getting apple watch unlock.
It worked with my iMac before I moved to OpenCore. But I doubt there exists a Broadcom BCM94360x compatible 4.0 or 4.2 USB dongle. Most upgrades I know of changed the internal cards in MacbookPro and iMac11,x and iMac12,x - if you find one let me know.

Apologies for adding to an old post, but I too have this problem after installing Mojave via the DOSDUDE patch, though it only seems to be for Prores 422 HQ , 422 and lower. Other codecs seem ok (prores 4444, h264), but everything I have is stored as this 422 HQ. Doesn't look wrong in Premiere, or VLC & legacy QT 7 player, but its totally glitching in the native Quicktime player.
Did you ever find a fix?
I'm using MacBook late 2008, Mojave 10.14.6, 8gb RAM.

Got a Mac Pro 3.1 (2008) running on different drives, El Capitan, Sierra, Mojave and Catalina,
updating via the SilentKnight app for Mojave and Catalina I am continually told that the
EFI firmware is out of date, version 006C.B05.0802291410.
First of all I would like to know what EFI firmware I am supposed to be running,
secondly how to get it.
Any info would be appreciated.

The former the big search machines will tell, the latter you get when installing the last supported macOS version on an internal disk and applying all available updates. Depending on the macOS version this can be the last available security update delivered by Apple.
