“Code Talker” would be the more accurate description.
Just wanted to say that the Mojave Patcher tool can be used to bypass the check for Metal and APFS Encryption. My GTX 680 should work, but the bug stops it from installing.
As long as the post installation isn’t run, it will be 100% vanilla.
I opted to NOT encrypt anyways, in case a future update wants me to disable it again (cannot be enabled, just initially formatted).

Take a look at this BootROM, look how messy the hardware IDs and descriptor are:
SSN as ssnp was the cherry.
After correction:
Correct order:
Note:
HWC changed between screen shots because the backplane was replaced with a used one. I changed the SSN, hidden on the screenshots, for the one from the case. Since HWC is the 3 or 4 last digits from the SSN, I changed the HWC too. Sometimes you have to change SON too, like when using a 2010 board with a 2012 SSN, or the reverse.

After correction:
Correct order:
- overridess,
- compressed descriptor blob,
- override-version Base_XX,
- SSN,
- HWC,
- SON,
- EOF.

Does https://iphone.appleinsider.com/art...nagement-and-testing-tools-unlocked-for-years open the door any for any of our smart people?
Aye a quick thing I might mention mojave 10.14.1 beta 2 (18B50c) didnt give me any installation screen on my rx560 like I normally get, I was sitting on a black screen for about 10 mins. So for anyone whos about to update it, thats a heads up, give it time if you dont see the installation loading bar.
Yes guys, succeed with Mojave and the Sapphire Pulse RX580 card and booting from a NVMe 500 Gb SSD.
Have I to repeat step 10 every time the BootRom version changes?
Yes, if you want continued NVMe booting.
Can I use my GT120 graphics card along side my new RX580?
When I tried this, the booting stop on 3/4.
I would like to have booting screens in Mojave?
No point to rush, we just serve as beta testers to check if anything changed (either good or bad), and report back.
Yes, we are risking our cMP to do that. For normal users, definitely no point to rush
I really can’t say, I don’t have one. I believe other members have tried this successfully with High Sierra but I’m not sure with Mojave.
See https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-installation-problems.2129983/#post-26299783
Also, see post 10 just above this one.
Basically No - it won't give you what you want.

If you really, really want Macrumors members to help you. . . .make a SIG = tell us about your cMP setup.
Is this too much to ask ?

Is there a tweak to run the 138.0.0.0 Firmware update with an unsupported (EFI) GPU ? Have a customers 5.1 Box with MP51.0089.B00 and HD5770 (got to be upgraded with a GTX680) and I'm a little nervous to just force the Update.
