About This File

Patched OSInstaller.framework to allow macOS 10.14 installation on MBR HFS+ partition.

 

To use those patched files you must follow HowTo to create an USB installer. You can't just run the app downloaded from Mac App Store.

The patch is made base on 落下爱@pcbeta 10.10.x MBR patch method, and more patch for 10.14 HFS Firmware check by crazybirdy.

 

What is this patched OSInstaller doing?
1. Patch the MBR check, allow macOS 10.14 installation on MBR partition.
2. Patch the Firmware check, bypass the error of "An error occurred while verifying firmware".
3. Patch to stop auto-convert to APFS , "ConvertToAPFS=false" is no longer worked with 10.14.
4. This patched MBR OSInstaller will never convert to APFS, and will always install as HFS+ partition.
5. This patched MBR OSInstaller method works with both MBR HFS+ and GPT HFS+ partition (GPT+recovery).

No longer need to set new SMbiosversion, FirmwareFeatures, and FirmwareFeaturesMask with this MBR-patch.

 

What's the difference between createinstallmedia method, MBR-Manual-Method, and MBR-Automatic-Method?
As the following....
1. createinstallmedia method,

    needs stage 1, stage 2 installation process, which is worked with GUID partition only, always convert to APFS format.
2. MBR-Manual-Method (same as 10.12),

    install via stage 2 manually, which is worked with both MBR and GUID, HFS+ and APFS, will never convert the partition format.

    We can manually format as MBR or GPT, HFS+ or APFS on installation screen like as 10.12.

    We can manually select MBR HFS+ partition to install 10.13 and 10.14 on installation screen now.

    Needn't to update the MBR-Manual-Method files, it will still work on 10.13, and 10.14 future versions, I think so.

    It can be installed as Fresh installation on formated blank partition only, but can't be installed as update from previous version.

3. MBR-Automatic-Method (new for 10.13+),

    install via stage 2 automatically, which is worked with both MBR and GUID, HFS+ and APFS, will never convert the partition format.

    It can be installed as Fresh installation on formated blank partition, and can be installed as update from previous version.


How to make 10.14 installer for MBR (MBR-Manual-Method)?

Just use EasyMBR-InstallerMaker to make installer, it works with both MBR and GPT.

Read HowTo inside the dmg first, same as 10.12.

Q6. How to download the full installer app via swscan.apple.com, instead of App Store?
A6. Some people download installer app from App Store, and get only 18 MB size, not the complete installer app (5.68 GB). You should boot to 10.12, or 10.13 to download it again from App Store, or use script Q6-DownloadFullApp/installScript_1014fullapp to download the full installer app via swscan.apple.com.

I don't know, it happened sometimes here.

Normally, I would like to download manually for big size files as BaseSystem.dmg and InstallESDDmg.pkg.

I've just updated from 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 using the Q7 script.

The update initially failed, I think it's because I chose the combo update.

I then tried again using just the 10.14.2 update from the list and it installed ok.

I then rebooted and ran sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force and rebooted again.

This produced loads of errors that I've attached here.

I'm unable to launch app store or safari.

Replace this framework in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks

After open Safari and other Apple app.

AppleMediaServices.framework.zip

Followed Crabhunters advice to choose regular update instead of combo updater and it worked in the VM! Combo updater was the first thing I tried and it lead to endless reboots of the VM. With regular updater everything is fine.

Additionally to updating dyld caches and rebuilding kextcaches in single user mode, AppleMediaServices.framework was replaced to get the everything running again. So far it seems to be fine:

Thanks to everyone involved, especially crazybirdy, of course!

After replacing AppleMediaServices.framework all is well :)

That was on my Mojave install on a spare USB drive.

I'm now going ahead with the update on my main install.

Thanks for all the help.

Patching telemetry.plugin does not work anymore with 10.14.3. Replacing original one from 10.13.6 worked. 

 

Bad news, not test 10.14.3 with 775 CPU here, only test with i3-2100.

I ran the update for 14.10.3 and safari, App Store, Maps, Calendar and mail will not open ... error message 

apps are looking for a file in private frameworks that isn't there... 

that file is no there on my MacBook so I suspect it has to do with the install?

Sandbox creation failed: failed to compile sandbox profile

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleMediaServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/framework.sh

 

Looks like all the internal Mac apps...

What needs to be cleared/rebuilt?

 

Oh wait, I saw the comments above looks like the solution for now... Dans

 

 

YES...installed AppleMediaServices.framework from zip file above and all back to normal......

Can someone explain what the problem is with apple.mediaservices??? in private frameworks >??

The fix works fine, but would like to understand why that error message kept coming up in the crash report.

 

Thanks

製作 macOS Mojave 10.14 MBR 安裝盤，你需要兩個分區，

一個 A.Disk1mbrInstaller, 最小空間: 2.5 GB，這是開機安裝盤。

一個 B.Disk2InstallData, 最小空間: 25.0 GB，這是你即將安裝 10.14 的系統分區。

 

Make macOS Mojave 10.14 MBR installer, you need two partitions,

one for A.Disk1mbrInstaller, minimal size: 2.5 GB, hdd or USB, MBR or GPT, this is MBR-installer boot disk.

one for B.Disk2InstallData, minimal size: 25.0 GB, MBR hdd, this is which one you want to install 10.14 now.

 

已找到 Found /Users/macos/Downloads/OSInstaller.MBR.10.14.3.18D42/OSInstaller

已找到 Found /Users/macos/Downloads/OSInstaller.MBR.10.14.3.18D42/Disk2InstallData/.IAProductInfo

You will need three steps to make installer.

 

1.Drag in the full Installer App (from Finder): ............................................. it's the Full Installer App.

2.Drag in the partition to write Disk1mbrInstaller as /Volumes/xxxxx (from Finder): ......... it's the USB for MBR Installer.

3.Drag in the partition to write Disk2InstallData as /Volumes/xxxxx (from Finder): .......... it's the HDD to install Mojave now.

 

 

1.拖入 原始 Installer App : 

1.Drag in the full Installer App (from Finder): /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app 

 

  選用的 Installer App 版本為   10.14.4 18E226

  The selected Installer App is 10.14.4 18E226

 

  Disk1mbrInstaller 至少 2.5 GB 空間

  先格盤為 HFS, Mac OS 擴展 分區，所有資料將被刪除

 

  Disk1mbrInstaller, minimal size: 2.5 GB, hdd or USB, MBR or GPT.

  Please format as HFS, Mac OS Extended partition, all data will be removed.

 

2.拖入 要寫入的 Disk1mbrInstaller 安裝盤分區 /Volumes/xxxxx : 

2.Drag in the partition to write Disk1mbrInstaller as /Volumes/xxxxx (from Finder): /Volumes/USB 

 

  Disk2InstallData 至少 25.0 GB 空間

  即為 現在要安裝 10.14 的 系統分區

  可安裝至 空白分區 或 現有系統 如 10.12.6

  建議選用 HFS+, Mac OS 擴展 (日誌式) 分區，本區資料將被保留

 

  Disk2InstallData, minimal size: 25.0 GB MBR hdd

  This is which one you want to install 10.14 now.

  You can install to a blank partition, or update to earlier version like as 10.12.6

  Select one HFS+, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition, all data will be reserved.

 

3.拖入 要寫入的 Disk2InstallData 系統盤分區 /Volumes/xxxxx : 

3.Drag in the partition to write Disk2InstallData as /Volumes/xxxxx (from Finder): /Volumes/M550 

 

4.選用 已經修改過的 OSInstaller 文件 : 

4.Select the patched MBR OSInstaller file: 

  /Users/macos/Downloads/OSInstaller.MBR.10.14.3.18D42/OSInstaller

Check the md5 of InstallESD.dmg.

 

InstallESD.dmg 文件不完整！你應該無法在 Finder 手動開啟 InstallESD.dmg，可能需要重新下載！

 

建議你用新的腳本，因為 10.14.4 18E226 有變化！
