How to Create a macOS Mojave Public Beta Installation USB

Status
Not open for further replies.
Successfully installed Mojave using a created USB stick with this guide.

Sadly, I can't get my graphics (GTX 970) to work. System reverted back to the default MacOS drivers after the update, after which I had to use Nvidia-update.sh (with the -f flag) to reinstall the web drivers.
System now outputs 4K correctly, but with many glitches and lag. Dock and menu bar are opaque rather than transparent. I tried Lilu + NvidiaGraphicsFixup, to no avail.

On a side note: I can't seem to find the High Sierra Installer in the App Store, so I can't downgrade quite yet.
Did you use the keyboard combination Option + Click on Purchases in App Store app?

There is no purchases tab in the new Mac App Store, what with the whole redesigned App Store in Mojave. I can see previous purchases by clicking on my account (profile at the bottom left), but none of the older releases of MacOS show up. I think I'm missing a bunch of 32-bit applications, too, so that might have something to do with it.

Funny side note: the one old MacOS release that *does* show up, is 'OS X El Capitan GM Candidate'.
 
Is there/will there be a way to install this on an older Mac by editing a .plist or something? I have a Late 2009 iMac that runs HS just fine. No reason that it shouldn't be able to run Mohave other than Apple excluding it.

ApplePlatformSupportkext, edit info.plist. Add you model number and platform ID #.

Does your CPU have SSE 4.2 instruction set? It may kernel panic if not.
 
Does someone know if we can use our own FakeSMC.kext? I got a working High Sierra install (along with kexts and everything) but I do not know if we must use the FakeSMC.kext provided in the first post.

Yes.
 
My G3258 which I normally use fake ID 0x0306A0 required fake ID 0x0106E0 to install Mojave. After install 0x0306A0 works fine, but I had kernel panic during the upgrade.
can I have your config plist please
 
can I have your config plist please

Here you go it will need serial number UUID and MLB.
For kexts I use fakesmc.kext and nullcpumanagement.kext.

guys i have a little issue here with creating the usb drive. I run the command and is says:
Code:
Alexs-iMac:~ alex$ sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --nointeraction --downloadassets
To use this tool, you must download the macOS installer application on a Mac with 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. For more information, please see the following: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201372.
This is on my high sierra hackintosh. Didn't have any issues with the hack itself tho
