About This File

Disk Utility 13 is back!

Requires SIP Disabled

 

To run it you need to Allow apps from Anywhere under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy. To enable this options execute in Terminal: sudo spctl --master-disable

 

 

Yosemite Disk Utility for macOS Sierra

 

Note: When you launch this version two icons will appear on the dock. This is normal behavior!

 

Debug menu is available to list all partitions and mount EFI.

 

For the nostalgic or the crazy ones ... your favorite version of Disk Utility now works on macOS Sierra.

 

Upon launching you will need to provide password to run the scripts that make things spin.

 

Tested on a fresh install of macOS Sierra, on an actual MacBook Pro (separate machine from the one it was modified on)

 

Verified the following working:

 

1. Creating an image, restoring an image, converting an image

2. Partitioning a hard drive, erasing hard drive, restoring to hard drive

3. Verifying disk and repairing disk

4. Burning iso to DVD

 

Please proceed with caution, I would like some feedback from people on errors or bugs that might come up.

 

Enjoy!

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.

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

Thank you!!

 

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

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

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:

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?
