Mojave MBR HFS Firmware Check Patch 10.14.x

40 minutes ago, themacmeister said:

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...?!?!

 

Please use MBR-Automatic-Method, it will work fine for upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave without convert to APFS.

The manual method only creates only one portion do this mean the mbr patch is already added 

It’s ok I’ve installed clover and it installing on mbr good work to you an dosdude

If you use MBR-Manual-Method, it should work fine.

It looks like, you have the error of "the Installer Source is damage" issue, you should check the md5 first.

It could be the network issue when you download the full installer with "Q6-DownloadFullApp/installScript_1014fullapp",
and didn’t get the complete installer app, especially the big size one "InstallESD.dmg".

 

Check md5 with Terminal command:
md5 "Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg"

Use the new app 10/19 to  make installer, and save the all log file again (not error only log file).

Or try the MBR-Manual-Method if install to the blank partition, it should work fine.

Do either the manual or automatic methods create the recovery partition? I created Mojave manual installer (worked fine) but after installation of OS it appears I do not have a recovery partition.

No for MBR,  yes for GPT.

Thank you. I have successfully used the script to install Mohave (HFS+). Is it possible to convert to APFS (without re-installing)? Right clicking on the SSD drives from within DiskUtility presents a greyed-out 'Convert to APFS' option (when booted to Mojave).

I don't know, never use it.

Mojave 10.14.1 update is out today. I've read the included 'How to text file' and if I understand correctly I need to:

"A9. Use script Q9-Update-installScript/installScript_1014 to install update directly.
    Update macOS Mojave 10.14.x, works fine with both GPT and MBR, and MBR will not update Recovery HD partition.

    http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/330364-macos-high-sierra-10132-update-released/?p=2546218
    After updating finished and reboot, Safari and App Store will stop connecting to the internet.
    To fix this, need to run the following code in Terminal, and reboot after finished:

    sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force"

I'm still a bit uncertain how to proceed. Do I just run the 'Q9 installscript' (followed by terminal code) or do I first need to download the combo updater from Apple? Thanks and sorry for my confusion.

I installed Mojave using the manual script and all went fine. I'm now trying to update to 10.14.1 and I get the following error.

I've tried using the script to update in Q9 and that ends with an error too.

any ideas?

It could be the SIP issue, set Clover SIP as HowTo

        add to /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist as below.

        <key>RtVariables</key>
        <dict>
            <key>BooterConfig</key>
            <string>0x28</string>
            <key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
            <string>0x67</string>
        </dict>

 

Q9-Update-installScript/installScript_1014 works fine here on MBR HFS 10.14.0.18A391.

I ran the installer script. The update completed & logged me out of Mojave. I logged back in and verified it was in fact 10.14.1. I then ran the terminal code "sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force"  as suggested. After reboot I can NOT get past the stretched apple logo to the appropriately sized logo and the login screen. The white progress bar under the stretched logo makes it all the way to the right but nothing else happens. Before this the stretched logo was always followed quickly by an appropriately smaller sized apple logo and the login screen. Thank you.

You should update, reboot, then sudo command, reboot.

Now. I don't know how to fix it.

 

Boot -v

Or

You can try to boot -s into singleuser mode, and sudo command again.

update_dyld_shared_cache -force

OK that worked as far as I got the update was successful but now when I boot it hangs at this point. I've tried booting it from my USB installer with my original .config but it still hangs at this point.

Didn't know why?

It could be 10.14.1 issue.

@Crabhunter

maybe a kernel cache problem

Try boot -s

mount -uw /
kextcache -i /
reboot
