sierra unsupported night shift corebrightness patch 10-12 10-12-4 10-12-5 beta

nightpatch's Introduction

NightPatch

Enable Night Shift on any old Mac models.

You have to disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) before applying. How to disable SIP

Backup your Mac before applying.

Not compatible with some third-party monitors. This is a solution for unsupported Mac, not unsupported monitors!

Supported macOS

macOS 10.12.4 or later including High Sierra. (List of tested macOS build)

About 10.13.4 (17E199) and 10.13.5 (17F35e) - 10.13.4 (17E199) and 10.13.5 (17F35e) work well for me but some people undergo unbootable issue.

How to patch

Enter this command on Terminal without $.

$ cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; sudo ./NightPatch.sh

How to revert using backup

You can revert using backup located on /Library/NightPatch. (NightPatch creates backup automatically when you patch your macOS) Enter this command on Terminal without $.

$ cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; sudo ./NightPatch.sh --revert

How to revert using macOS combo Update

If you deleted backup (or not backed up with NightPatch), enter this command on Terminal without $. NightPatch will download original system file from Apple. This method works without backup.

$ cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; sudo ./NightPatch.sh --fix

How to run beta build

Enter this command on Terminal without $.

$ cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; sudo ./NightPatch-beta.sh

Stable : Version 246
Beta : Version 247 (changelog: 247)

If you want to revert using backup, use --revert. Also using macOS combo Update is --fix.

Troubleshootings

ERROR : Turn off System Integrity Protection before doing this.

: Solution

'Password:' ???

: Enter your login password.

NightPatch repeatedly requires password.

: Update to latest macOS to solve this, or run NightPatch with sudo su.

The script doesn't work on 10.13.6

Doesn't work on 10.13.6, but it did work on 10.13.5; 15" MBP Early 2011.

high sierra 10.13.4 no support - fatal error

time to update your stuff dude cause 10.13.4 would not boot and needs to reinstall let alone would not revert - complete headache..

High Sierra not working.

Unfortunately NightPatch is not working with the GM release of High Sierra.
Is there any chance of an updated binary?
Thank you!

(Fix) for unbootable Machine

On macOS 10.13.4, you cannot boot up. DO NOT REINSTALL macOS, just boot into safe mode, and run the uninstaller.sh script in Terminal.

Invalid signature

When I'm running the .sh script I'm having the following issue:

Checking new signature...

The new signature is invalid or can't be applied. Check the original framework sigature is valid and try again. No patch applied.
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework.hack: invalid signature (code or signature have been modified)
In architecture: x86_64

Not working with macOS Mojave

I have a Mac Pro Mid 2012 12-Core. I have an Apple LED Cinema Display (27") and an AMD Radeon HD 7950 Mac Edition. Worked just fine in High Sierra and when I updated the Mac it stopped working and re-running the script proves to fail even after disabling SIP.

Revert using macOS combo Update

I ran the following command:

cd /tmp; curl -s -o NightPatch.zip https://codeload.github.com/pookjw/NightPatch/zip/master; unzip -o -qq NightPatch.zip; cd NightPatch-master; chmod +x NightPatch.sh; ./NightPatch.sh --fix

I receive the following error:

Latest Sierra not supported

Getting an "unsupported OS" error on latest version of Sierra released today.

10.12.6 (16G29)

Why are new files created in Home folder?

Sierra 10.12.4 on Mid-2012 Mac Pro

After applying this patch, I see three new files in my Home folder....

_CodeSignature.bak
CoreBrightness.bak
NightPatchBuild

Why are these left here? Can't these be moved, deleted, or hidden?

Does not work on 10.13.4

Well that didn't work. $%!k
