But why does clover is unable to inject FakeSMC.kext like 10.13. Is there any solution to this problem?

Clover r4630 works fine here with 10.14 inject FakeSMC.kext.

or

patch the 10.14.db3 com.apple.telemetry.plugin, use Q5-mojave2core/mojave2core to auto-patch with Terminal after update new version.

I used your script to get 10.14 installed on HFS+ Journaled in Parallels Desktop.

 

First I created a blank sparse disk image from within Disk Utility, large enough to fit everything, file system HFS+ Journaled, of course.

Launched the script and selected the mounted disk image as the target.

Used Disk Utility to convert the sparse disk image into a read only image, so that Parallels recognizes it when asking for an installer.

That's it, install as usual!

 

Not sure if you actually need to start with a sparse disk image, haven't tested that.

No, 1014MBR18A391 is the same as Disk1mbrInstaller, it's just a name.

Please can someone help me,I'm nearly there with this method.

I have created an installer using the MBR easy installer script. it doesn't seem to boot on it's own.

I can boot it successfully using the Clover bootloader on my hard drive.

I have tried installing Clover to the USB it created but that messes it up.

How do I make the installer the script created bootable on it's own?

The MBR-EasyInstallerMaker script is just create the installer disk, not bootable bootloader.

If you need bootloader, you need to install clover or Enoch to the installer disk by yourself as usual.

It looks like the version of Clover I'm using works fine on my hard drive but not a USB stick.

I installed the latest Clover to my Sierra USB stick and now that's giving me the same error, it's working fine on my hard drive though.

Thanks for the info, I'm sure when I get my other USB to boot again so will the new one.

It's fdisk440 issue, read HowTo Q/A Q8.

Thanks works like a charm to install with HFS+ partition!!

 

One small thing i noticed after i installed mojave i tried to use the boot media to make a Disk Image of the fresh install and Disk Utility would not make a backup, selecting the menu option to make a image from the partition did nothing. Had to use a different boot media to make an image.

Thanks, I see the answer is to use dd. I'm afraid that doesn't mean much to me. I've used it when I had a boot0 error but only by copying a line of code.

I've tried installing the latest Clover on a blank USB stick but I just can't get it to boot.

I'm using a legacy bios system.

I'm sure when I can get a blank stick to boot I'll be able to use your installer.

Thanks crazybirdy,

 

Should I be able to boot up 10.14 installer on Disk1mbrInstaller on disk2s2 to update 10.13.6 on disk2s3 to 10.14?

Do I need to install clover on Disk1mbrInstaller?

Try to use the old version of Clover before 4540 with fdisk440.

Yes, you can, and Clover installed is better.

Hi I prepared image with your scripts and thanks for your amazing work. However when I try update to mojave from High Sierra I'm getting this error (I shared picture). So far I've made few different USB with your script and tried on some PCs ( such skylake, quad core). 

PS: There is no problem on formatted disk installation.

You mean, you boot the Mojave MBR usb installer and try to install to update the High Sierra, right?

What's the format of High Sierra? MBR or GPT? HFS+ or APFS?

Can you Save Log as screen shows, and upload the log to see what's wrong?

---

edit:

as test here,

due to the installer error and limited, we can't update from old version to new version as 10.12 to 10.13, or 10.13 to 10.14, it only works with Fresh installation (format partition as blank partition first).

someone this thread said mojave patched trouble with auto update, so what's up?

It seems only APFS can update from AppStore, HFS+ can't.(apple limited)

Both MBR HFS+ and GPT HFS+ need to use Q7-Update-installScript/installScript_1014 to update.

If you want to auto-update from AppStore, you should use GPT APFS.

@crazybirdy

When you say "only APFS can update from AppStore", are you referring to OS like from 10.x.x to 10.14, or updates like itunes, safari, sec?

No, I mean,

10.14 update to 10.14.1, 10.14.1 update to 10.14.x from System Preferences update if it's APFS.

If you use HFS+, you can't find any updates from System Preferences to update 10.14.x, it seems that happened.

any solution if i want to keep HFS+ format, bro?

I told you before,

Both MBR HFS+ and GPT HFS+ need to use Q7-Update-installScript/installScript_1014 to update.

As we know, we can use Create install method to update Mojave. But as far as I know, this method only allows the GPT to be formatted. my question is; How about High Sierra based on MBR format discs?  Because many users have installed macOS in the MBR section on laptops.

The createinstallmedia method can only install to GPT APFS partition on Mojave, GPT HFS+, APFS on High Sierra, both update to new version 10.13.x, 10.14.x fine.

You mean, MBR High Sierra update to MBR Mojave, 

MBR-Manual-Method can't do that,

only the new MBR-Automatic-Method can do that, but I have removed the files.

If anyone need MBR-Automatic-Method, I can upload it again.

I created the installer USB using Manual Method, and did an in-place upgrade (not a fresh install).

 

Sadly, the SSD was converted to APFS during the install. I have reverted back to High Sierra JHFS+ from Time Machine backup.

 

I assume that I can do a fresh Mojave install to JHFS and then restore apps and documents from High Sierra Time Machine backup...?!?!
