But thanks anyway man... If installing the OS on the pen was well done, something is probably wrong with your EFI. Try to erase EFI and install the latest Clover with the necessary drivers... a new version of Clover has appeared today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorenoAv Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yep I used create install media... and it appears as install macOS 10.14 Mojave... but that is a good notice I am going to download the new clover then and repair the usb installer... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to install or update Mojave DP1, DP2, or PB1 is attached USB HDD to Mac BooK Pro which can install or update without such an error. Had you fixed your problem ? Hope you can share your solution . By the way either apfs or HFS+ in my hackintoshs all got the same error need restart ! yes I did fix it, in the end I modified my SMBios to reflect a Mac Pro 6,1 and installed with that long lag. after that I had a fully running OS X Mojave. after the install I went back to iMac 14,2 HBP Edited June 30, 2018 by HBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you fixed it by change SMBIOS to Mac Pro 6,1 in CLOVER's config.plist or booted by other way ? At least in my P6TSE hackintosh it was fixed by SMBIOS (changed from IMac 14,2 to Mac Pro 6,1 in config.plist) now. But I want to know why it's working this way and is there other SMBIOS also working in hackintoshs ? However, it worked once only and failed again ! Need figure out the reason why it can not work now. Edited July 1, 2018 by jsl2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsradu Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hi [mention=1313347]Fergarth[/mention], Thanks but that boat has sailed, if I go there I get open, not download... grrrr CheersThis happens when you have the Mojave Installer app somewhere on your PC (not necessarily in /Applications). It has nothing to do with the Developer/Public Beta Utility.So, find the Installer app (it’s usually in the /Applications folder, but as I said, it can also be anywhere else and it will have the same result), remove it, and then you’ll get Download instead of Open in the App Store. Problem is that, if you’re on Mojave already, you will most likely get the 12.7MB web installer (which cannot be used to make a USB drive installer), instead of the full 5.8GB one.I did it from High Sierra. You might be able to do it with that script. I don’t know since I never used it. But you need to remove the Installer app from your computer first, then redownload. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsradu Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Dear arsradu, if I follow your advice and enable iGPU (HD Graphics 4600), while continuing to use discrete graphics (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760), I can make the preview work on jpg files. First of all thanks to the suggestion. But would you be so kind as to explain to me why this happens? Thank you and excuse my English. EriceYou know, people usually ask why DOESN’T something work, not why DOES it work. And to be perfectly honest, i’m not sure what exactly happens here. All I have is a theory, and I already said that before, that somehow, the OS is tricked into thinking you’re still connected to the iGPU because of what BIOS says, when in fact, physically, you’re connected to the dedicated GPU.Also, as Cyberdevs said in one of the previous posts, it looks like it’s using the iGPU for some tasks and the dGPU for others. How does it do that without even being connected to the iGPU is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) @arsradu and @erice Let me explain it this way: All the CPUs that come with the internal GPU (IGD/iGFX/iGPU) have a feature called Intel Quick Sync Video which was introduced with Sandy Bridge CPUs. Apple has been using this technology since Mountain Lion which being used with a variety of its softwares such as Safari, iTunes FaceTime QuickTime and so on and so forth, this feature is helps to improve the performance of video encoding and conversion and rendering (in video editing softwares such as iMovie, FinalCut, Motion and Compressor) in a sense of actuall video rendering (in video editing softwares such as iMovie, FinalCut, Motion and Compressor, etc..) and simply viewing what we see on our displays. This feature is enabled by default in any given Apple computer which has the internal graphics and/or a dedicated GPU such as 21.5" and 27" iMacs or for instance MacBook Pros with single or dual GPUs and they will use the Intel Quick Sync Video technology to improve the performance on video rendering (macOS itself and the Video Editing softwares) so macOS will take advantage of this technology automatically when the iGPU is active and initialized correctly by the OS which is the case in all of those computers. Now on our hacks when we enable this feature in BIOS/UEFI and config it correctly as the result we have a better performance on how the video performance of our systems behaves. When I first installed Mojave I wasn't even able to play videos in QuickTime let alone using QuickLooks properly so something was missing. After I made the changes to my config.plist it become clear that the missing pice was indeed the Intel Quick Sync which is responsible for handling the correct and a better performance. I know you might have used the same config in Sierra and High Sierra without any issues because most of the new discreet GPUs can handle the Quick Sync up to a point but with macOS Mojave and the major changes in the OS itself we now need to adapt to these changes accordingly and I believe that's another reason that macOS Mojave is not supporting many of the previous Apple computers and hacks because they aren't simply able to support these changes and processes properly. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. These are two simple examples on Hardware Encoding Support when the iGPU is enabled or not: My IvyBridge rig without iGPU and a nVidia 1070 GPU with Latest Web Drives in High Sierra My SkyLake with iGPU and RX580 in High Sierra: Edited June 30, 2018 by Cyberdevs 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell (at least according to the HW monitors) the iGPU is always in some state of low-level activity alongside the dGPU. Far more noticeable of course when video is playing. Inserting a 'headless' ig-platform-id specific to one's iGPU is apparently helpful as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomas Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Why do you want to use a script to download 10.14 beta when you do have a direct download link from Apple's servers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are numerous issues with an incomplete download of the Mojave Installer from AppStore when we end up with a 12 or 20 MB installer rather than the 5.6 GB installer. This script helps to avoid this issue in many cases and downloads the full installer. Edited June 30, 2018 by Cyberdevs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it several times on High Sierra and Mojave and I was able only Once to download the full size installer under High Sierra. I haven't tested Sierra though. I will give it a try and let you know. I remember having the same issue with High Sierra as well specially with the Beta and the Developer's editions. Addition: @fantomas1 The download with the direct link and the macOSDeveloperBetaAccessUtility utility seems to be working fine on Sierra. It's starting to download the full installer correctly.

At this point my EFI/plist already contain the Mojave patchs and some are not compatible with HS. Yes I think I saved the last Bios and I sent it too.

I think, if you boot to recovery HD, and install from server, you will get the same dmg. It should be the same, you can check the md5 of dmg between server and AppStore. But you need to download it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
