For 32 bits Unsupported Macs so they can install and Run mavericks (64bit) The script will also allow you patch your key again later on and “at will” to add other computers if needed. All this Couldn’t be done without Tiamo© boot.efi from Macrumors at the first place. My situation: I own the following unsupported Macs I want to run 10.9 Mavericks on: 2006 Woodcrest Mac Pro 1,1, and two Late 2006 Woodcrest Xserve 1,1s. I love these three systems.

Updates
Important Notes:
  • Using APFS is REQUIRED in Mojave in order to receive system updates via the normal Software Update method. If you choose to continue using macOS Extended (Journaled) as your filesystem type, you will NOT receive System Updates via System Preferences. If you are not using APFS, you can follow the 10.14.1 installation steps below.

  • After applying ANY system update via Software Update, re-applying post-install patches using your Mojave Patcher installer volume will most likely be necessary. If you install a software update and the system fails to boot afterwards, this is what needs to be done.

10.14.6

10.14.6 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.2 or later after installing.


10.14.5

10.14.5 can be updated normally via Software Update if using an APFS volume, and will need to be patched using an installer volume created with Mojave Patcher version 1.3.1 or later after installing.


10.14.4Download

10.14.4 adds new changes that ARE NOT patchable by the post-install tool of Mojave Patcher v1.2.3 and older! Before updating to 10.14.4, you you will need to use the latest Mojave Patcher version to create a new installer volume, using the 10.14.4 installer app. Then, update to 10.14.4, either by installing via Software Update, or by just using the installer volume you've created to install.


10.14.3

If you are currently running 10.14.1 or 10.14.2, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.3 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.

10.14.2

If you are currently running 10.14.1, you can simply use the Software Update pane of System Preferences (if using APFS) to apply the 10.14.2 update. Once the update is installed, you will most likely need to re-apply post-install patches to get the system to boot again. This process is detailed in steps 8 - 10 above. If you are currently running 10.14.0, or are using a non-AFPS volume, you'll need to proceed with the 10.14.1 update method described below.


10.14.1/macOS Extended (Journaled) volumes

Install Mavericks On Unsupported Mac Mini

The Mojave 10.14.1 update does NOT install properly on unsupported machines, and could result in an unbootable OS. If you want to install the 10.14.1 update (and are not currently running 10.14.1), perform the following steps:
• Download the latest version of Mojave Patcher
• Download the installer using the Tools menu of Mojave Patcher
• Create a patched USB installer
• Boot from that, and install 10.14.1 onto the volume containing an older release.
• Once done, apply the post-install patches, and you should now be on 10.14.1.


Note: This is a hack. Read the comments, specifically Daniel Dunbar’s, for a better way to do this. Do not use this method anymore.

After installing the developer preview of Mac OSX Mavericks, I started installing my usual list of apps, tools and tweaks. First on the list is always Homebrew, my favorite command line tool. It took a little finessing to get it running, but it works fine, despite the warnings about 10.9 being unsupported.

Before trying to install any packages, I installed the developer preview of Xcode 5 to get the command line tools for compiling. Without the command line tools, you get errors like this trying to install git: git-credential-osxkeychain.c:131: error: ‘protocol’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Unfortunately, it seems that Xcode 5 is doing something different with the command line tools. They are not available for download as they were in Xcode 4.

I also tried using Kenneth Reitz’s wonderful osx-gcc-installer, but Homebrew complained about mismatched compiler versions when using the Mountain Lion installer.

The trick is to download the command line tools from developer.apple.com and spoof the OS version as 10.8 so that it can be installed. Simply change two lines in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist:

You may have to reboot after changing the version. Be sure to change it back to 10.9 after installing the command line tools, otherwise things get quirky.
