Almost fail but found a work through*
2018 mbp
(Clean install from HS to Mojave with USB installer)
1. I booted into Startup Utilities
2. Erased the main HD partition
3. Restarted the computer
4. Tried to boot up from my Mojave Installer USB (Hold Option key)
5. Error. Due to security reasons I couldn’t boot from an external source AND the Internet Recovery wouldn’t work either!
6. While trying again to use internet recovery; (this is the important part) after the globe and download screen, the computer restarts with the normal Apple Logo.
6B. During this startup sequence screen hold Command~R to access the Startup Utilities as per normal.
7. Within the Startup Utilities select “Install OS”, select USB and install as normal.
If you miss step 6B it will be an endless loop of not being able to use an external start up disc and not being able to use internet recovery.
I was fairly certain I bricked the computer until I figured this out. This will save a lot of people heartache and a trip to Apple. Good luck

Almost everyone I know that used to queue up now pre-orders online or is on the Apple's Upgrade plan. There is no reason to queue up for any Apple stuff nowadays, their retail chief actually mentions they don't want these queues anymore; they prefer new customers rather than current customers, so they want all current customers to get new devices via other methods.
go to App Store search for Mojave Download new installer and install over the top of 1A839. Software update alone won't find it.
So if you have a MacBook Air or non retina iMac that are still being sold, the fonts will look like crap? Is Apple seriously releasing software that will make your fonts look like crap? Then this upgrade should be skipped. How many people will not realize this and suddenly after reboot, the screen fonts are terrible. Laughable.
Thank You. I will do that. Previously downloads said, NO GPU Support even though I have a Radeon 7950.
Hey... I have the same machine, curious how well it runs. I’ve added RAM up to 16gb and swapped to an SSD. As this seems to be the oldest MBP hardware supported I really don’t want to kill it.
That list isn't comprehensive. All AMD cards GCN 1 and up are supported including your 280X.
Noticeably less stable than Sierra in my experience. Mojave will be a brand new clean install for sure.
No, installed in around 30 minutes (SSD) and no issues so far.
1Password didn't launch on boot. But that app has been bugging me after their last update and isn't Mojave related.
what macos version were you using prior to doing this clean install?
An elegant way to silently drop old hardware
The term “supported” seems to have been stretched somehow for certain older machines
iTunes won't open after updating, just crashes.
No updates showing in new App Store even though before update install 3~ were showing.
Two finger tap on a link for context menu beachballs Safari every time without fail for 5-10 seconds.
Random beachballs everywhere else.
I've never complained about a macOS release since first owning one in 2012 but this one isn't giving me great first impressions in all honesty.

Mojave beta 11 Cmd + Option +r should start internet recovery and install latest software. there are other options which install software that came with your Mac.
