not working on Sierra 10.12.2

Same for me, 10.12.2  I receive the error "Disk Utility is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash"

I Modified my loader script in Disk Utility.app/Contents/MacOS/loader.sh to the following below. Much safer, and doesn't blow up if Disk Utility crashes.... I also renamed my app to Disk Utility-13, and put it in my /Applications/Utilities folder, so it is easy to tell them apart.

 

Thank you dimosgmx for getting it to work! I recommend the script edits below for an updated version

#!/bin/bash
cd -- "$(dirname "$0")"
pwd

# This moves the original framework, if this is the first time running, then links to it. If it does, it links to Sierra's version
if [  ! -f /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd-sierra ]; then
    mv /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd-sierra
    ln -s /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd-sierra /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd
else
    rm /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd  # After Diskutility closes for any reason, we unlink the framework
    ln -s /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd-sierra /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd # Link back to original
    
fi
cp diskmanagementd /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd-elcap # Copy El Capitan's to the same place
rm /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd # Removes the link
ln -s /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd-elcap /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd # Links to El Capitan's version
./DiskUtility # Runs Diskutility
rm /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd  # After Diskutility closes for any reason, we unlink the framework
ln -s /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd-sierra /usr/libexec/diskmanagementd # Link back to original

Same for me, 10.12.2  I receive the error "Disk Utility is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash"

sudo chown -R 0:0 /Applications/Utilities/Disk\ Utility-13.app fixes the problem, also thanks for jaminmc's script, it's super useful

I found that if you go to Show Package Contents on Disk Utility.app, then navigate to Contents > MacOS, you can delete "Disk Utility" and rename "DiskUtility" to "Disk Utility" to remove the second icon on the dock.

if this has been answered in the thread, i apologize (i've read and re-read it a few times trying to fix myself).

 

i'm on 10.12.5. 

 

i get the osascripts message, [password], [enter], closes.

 

tried

 

sudo chown -R 0:0 /Applications/Utilities/Disk\ Utility-13.app

 

to no avail.

 

can anyone help?

Same problem with OSA Script window popping up and no Disk Utility launching.

Thank you!

Same problem with OSA Script window popping up and no Disk Utility launching.

 

Same here! Help please!

Same here. Also, can't have two programs with the same name in the Utilities folder... how are you guys doing this? 

Looks like this works in high sierra and a real mac, thanks.

Thank you!!

 

BTW you can use this command to remove the original Disk Utility:

sudo rm -r -f /Applications/Utilities/Disk\ Utility.app 

Not ideal but I ran this command and it opened properly, icon in dock, app up and running

 

 

sudo /Applications/Utilities/Disk\ Utility-13.app/Contents/MacOS/DiskUtility 

will it run in Apps??  I can't get it to open... just 2 icons in dock... and asks for password.. using modified script..on HS 10.13.1

It doesn't work on High Sierra (10.13.1), probably because of SIP, I get this error when trying to open it:

Using DiskUtility instead (no space), opens the app (only one icon in dock), but I am not sure if it will work correctly...

Edit: OP says it needs SIP disabled. For those with problems:

Seems there is an issue in the wrapper config:

Could you fix? I love this app!

GOD BLESS YOU

I'm successfully using it in Mac OS 10.13.3 (High Sierra) Thanks for this! I had the OSA script error as well. My solution was to run the binary from source. In other words, simply control-click on the patched disk utility app, and select "Show package contents"  Navigate to MacOS and run the "disk utility" binary. only caveat is the terminal window will open alongside.

Is there a working version for 10.13.4+?

 

Paragon substitute: do you mean Paragon Hard Disk Manager?

Here you go:

 

Disk Utility v.13 built 607 with Debug Options for macOS Sierra & High Sierra up to 10.13.6

Not tested yet in Mojave.

 

I recommend everyone to update their v.13 (606) because this mod of mine also fixes the original Disk Utility

Error: framework unable to communicate with disk management daemon

tested with Disk Utility v.17.
