Does anyone know how to set this in nvram as a param without having to use a Hackintosh or third party boot loader? Just curious.
-----
I am gonna try the signing of the OSInstall tonight that someone posted on here for the BaseSystem.
-----
Is there a post that recommends which kexts for MP3,1 for WiFi,Sound,and Power Mgt?
-----
The only thing that I don't like about dd is keeping the source and dest. the same size. I've had hero luck taking a smaller image and resizing it. The APFS file system doesn't see the space. So I am keeping all my dd clones the same size. I am looking at rsync and ditto and Apple's FileManager API as alternatives for disk cloning and backups as well as variant implementations of dd'd images, but maybe restore them another way so it doesn't matter what size they are.

Thx.

My bad, I didn't test it before, the old patch code is wrong, this new patch code is test fine with mod-OSInstall.mpkg.

10.15.beta.19A471t

Sorry I don't understand, I have an Mac Mini 2011, with Intel Graphics 3000, this Video card is no will compatible with Catalina? This time not will have a Patch?:(

I hosed my Cat system on purpose.

Then booted my Cat USB install disk / same as restore volume.

Open Time Machine App

Select the hosed source disk

Then picked my latest snapshot.

Local Snapshots made using tmutil

I am thinking my first front end for clonetool will utilize tmutil as you can do anything you want to the system and you can restore it from a snapshot without taking up more disk space.

Data can also be sent to a remote servers it’s ways of managing time machine on a more automated and managed level. More granular and less like a giant tape drive which is how TM usually works. You can even access the local snapshots via time machine in Cat.

I have other tools that can make clones of home data same premise and we can add in other imaging tools if needed.

Looking to really close a gap in backups that take up zero disk space, and take advantage how APFS works.
[doublepost=1560303386][/doublepost]
you can always check dude's post-install to see what kexts were replaced for Mojave.
I am going through it now manually installing one kext set at a time, taking snapshots and rebooting, saving the shell scripts. Turned SIP off manually.

I love that discovered taking local snapshots. It’s been there since High Sierra and I am considering about building my own API around it. Saves time, disk space. Windows had snapshots a long time, but APFS really does a good job sharing common data. Lots of uses. I can also clone anything in the home directory, same premise with shared data. I have a few tools in mind and will probably make a menu bar app.
[doublepost=1560303689][/doublepost]incase anyone wants to create their own tmutil localsnapshot use:

tmutil localsnapshot

-> Created local snapshot with date: 2019-06-11-183655

Make sure you run it from you live system. Thinking you might be taking risk? take a snapshot and ease your mind that you won't have to do another reinstall after a big whoopie!

It's slick.

and use a recovery disk mode or install boot disk to do a restore of the local snapshot using Time Machine App. (I may find a way to do this without rebooting, but til then this works).

Requires APFS. Awesome tool to build something on.
[doublepost=1560304061][/doublepost]I got USB Charging to work from using Mojave's patch LegacyUSBInjector.kext

used Dosdude's legacyusb.sh script and edited the variables and ran them from my desktop with sudo. I disabled SIP manually via the Cat USB Installer. It got re-enabled at some point.

disabling SIP also fixes an issue with a signed kext for tmutil. It complains about signing with SIP on and it's an Apple Telephony framework that complains. SIP off fixes it.

rinse and repeat. I'll go through each and list the Kexts when I am done for the Mac Pro 3,1 to help assist any other 3,1 users til a patch tool is made. It's going to pretty much the same as the Mojave patch, but if you run the Mojave patcher, it messes up the caches. So installing the kext's manually at this point works best.

Haven't done this since my Hackintosh days. Goodtimes!

For MacPro3,1 - dosdude1 's post-install lists (in Mojave Patcher 1.3.3):

  1. usbohci. <- IOUSBHostFamilty.kext
  2. legacyusb. <- LegacyUSBInjector.kext
  3. legacyaudio <- AplleHDA.kext
  4. legacyPlatform <- gets rid of telemetry
  5. needsAPFSPatch
  6. bcm94321Patch <- IO80211Family.kext coreCapture and CoreCaptureResponder
  7. legacyiSight. <- IOUSBFamily.kext
  8. amdSSE4. <- AMDMTLBronzeDriver.bundle

Read the respective shell scripts for the actual file names and instructions. This all comes from macmodels.plist in the post-install app.

Thx. I am pretty much following the same thing. My system has the new firmware that boots APFS so patches are not needed. And I don’t know if it’s dosdudes’s one or Apple’s cuz I used to have mouse issues on the boot screen and I do not have that anymore. :)

I am installing one set at a time. Taking it slow and saving my moves. Doing the snapshots. The .sh scripts help, save time and I can stash them for reference.
[doublepost=1560306981][/doublepost]Making good progress. Have WiFi and USB Charging working. WiFi came right on. Even had it pre-selected. :)

For networking I have WiFi, Ethernet, and Firewire. I used Ethernet and Firewire as a fall back to a 2006 Mac mini. It pays off to keep old stuff lying around. They are pretty much worthless, well til you find a use. I can also run Macromedia Freehand. I spent most of my career Graphics, Design and Printing, but always dabbled in Computers and Programming.

When I was taking BASIC programming in High School on an Apple II. I was way ahead of the class and was making designs flash across the screen. Students said, cool what's that? And the teacher said, He is wasting his time. I like to think most of my wasted time was spent learning something new.

That really brings up the good ole days Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code (BASIC) We had the apple 2E's of course the trash 80's and the commode 64 but I preferred the Apple such more advance the first program I wrote in basic was 18 pages long and did of what DOS did wish I would have kept it the program lol :)

I had several C-64's and two C-128's
Handle was Wildfyre and later Mirage
ran City of Illusion BBS in Wisconsin - 414 area code
20 Meg Lt. Kernel HD
3.5 floppy
ran C-Net and Image BBS
Programmed a C-64 to hack things for me during that day (written in BASIC and POKE and PEEK Memory addresses with a MODEM).
It was right after Jobs and Woz created their Blue Box and Capt. Crunch was a legend
At that time, I did not know even what Jobs and Woz did. I was much younger.

We hacked just about anything we could get our mitts on. Brute force or random attempts from computers. There was not much security back then. If you could imagine what was on the other side of the wall that you were trying to break into, you could pretty much get in with just a personal computer.

Love the movie Wars Games, btw. I want to do a nuclear end game simulation one day.

I gave up the Commodore hacking when I went to off to College and sold all my equipment. lost my source code.

There is one C-64 game I made that is still online called Laser Eagle V2. I have a few games in the the works for iOS.

And then got into the Mac from H.S., to College (my college had a Mac II), My first Mac at my job was a Quadra 700 (expensive as hell). And I bought a Mac SE in College in the parking lot of a Red Roof Inn Hotel from the owner for $800 bucks. Did internships on the Mac while in school. Needless to save after the Commodore, I was really into Macs. Never really knew it would be my life.

Commodore had a chance to buy Apple early and passed. A friend of my had a Vic-20. Amazing machines. Never got an Amiga, but that was pretty much the cousin to the Mac.

It's sad this won't be possible with all the 2012 and later iMacs that Apple will be removing from the supported Mac list in the near future, maybe even as soon as the next release (10.16).
If the machines support Metal, I don't see Apple cutting them off next year. I think we will see the next cutoff when Apple changes chips and that might not happen since the 2019 Mac Pro is Intel.

You'd think Apple would use AMD processors in future Macs since they are so into AMD on the Graphics side. I know it would mean new MOBOs too, just you'd think they'd a package deal.

I like the work on the snapshots. Need to try that too.
 
Got everything but audio, fall back to USB Audio which only cost about 10 bucks. Gonna see if I can get my WebCam working and iPhone video capture. Legacy webcam iSight patch along with Logitech Cam settings worked on Mojave.

Not sure why Audio kexts are not taking. Tried twice. Again USB audio sticks work fine. Not a huge dealt really.

There are essential 3 ways, though one is untested (but properly safe), another one dangerous (potential hardware damage!), and the third one not straight forward and thus overly complicated (well, all are for inexperienced users).

Assuming it works as it should the first is the best: use OpenCorePkg.
The prohibitive one is Clover which is somewhat the role-model for the latter. (DO NOT USE on Macs)
The last is the already detailed install from a virtualmachine using raw disk access.

Since non of those are end-user ready (yet), despite for those knowing what they do (alas no need for explanation), I will not link nor explain anything any further.
I use clover. But am very familiar with how it works

The Mojave 'Patch Updater' works on Catalina. It stalled on reboot though. But its patches installed fine.

logi web cam works with iSight patch. 1080p, same as Mojave.

An update: I am currently working on an installer patch that seems promising thus far, but not fully working yet. Once this is complete, development will start of a full Catalina Patcher. I am going to be completely starting over with a brand new codebase, as the Sierra through Mojave Patcher implementation has gotten ridiculously hard to maintain and update. Expect a MUCH more intuitive and user-friendly UI, higher first-time success rate, and many more optimizations. System compatibility will remain as it is now, requiring 64-bit Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or later to run.

With this being a complete re-write, I am open for feature requests, new UI design/flow mockups, and much more. If you have any suggestions, just let me know!
 
I’ll try sound again tomorrow and see what the diff is between Mojave and Cat. And see what kexts for audio are loading.

MP3,1 seems to use the most patches besides a Core2Duo mbp.

Super stable though.

I think I am still getting USB stall at boot. But other than that seems ok.

Will try to track down the stall kext
[doublepost=1560315378][/doublepost]Looking back we got pretty far with just the first version. Hopefully Apple just sticks to bug fixes.

An update: I am currently working on an installer patch that seems promising thus far, but not fully working yet. Once this is complete, development will start of a full Catalina Patcher. I am going to be completely starting over with a brand new codebase, as the Sierra through Mojave Patcher implementation has gotten ridiculously hard to maintain and update. Expect a MUCH more intuitive and user-friendly UI, higher first-time success rate, and many more optimizations. System compatibility will remain as it is now, requiring 64-bit Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or later to run.

With this being a complete re-write, I am open for feature requests, new UI design/flow mockups, and much more. If you have any suggestions, just let me know!
Would you mind sharing this installer patch when it's ready?

Excellent news! Thanks again.

I’ll try sound again tomorrow and see what the diff is between Mojave and Cat. And see what kexts for audio are loading.

MP3,1 seems to use the most patches besides a Core2Duo mbp.

Super stable though.

Did you apply @ASentientBot 's HID patch (for the stall) ?
 
Got everything but audio, fall back to USB Audio which only cost about 10 bucks. Gonna see if I can get my WebCam working and iPhone video capture. Legacy webcam iSight patch along with Logitech Cam settings worked on Mojave.

Not sure why Audio kexts are not taking. Tried twice. Again USB audio sticks work fine. Not a huge dealt really.[/QUOTE can you look in your frameworks and see if you have openAL OpenAL is a cross-platform 3D audio API appropriate for use with gaming applications and many other types of audio applications. The library models a collection of audio sources moving in a 3D space that are heard by a single listener somewhere in that space. The basic OpenAL objects are a Listener, a Source, and a Buffer.
 
You guys are amazing. A huge thank you to dosdude and others for working on getting this running on older machines and consistently responding to questions here. It blows my mind that my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010, currently on Mojave) will be running the latest software nearly ten years after release. Plus it still runs well after a RAM and SSD upgrade!
