I do not know what happened, but after 5 hours, things took a turn and progress started. Finally, system is up and running again.
Got a tip for us?

In case we wake up in the morning and it hasn’t moved overnight, what then?
26 minutes here too.. also going to leave it overnight. And most of tomorrow if needed, I can hear the cpu is doing something (my MBP has something like coil whine) .. good luck everyone.
After PRAM reset my 15" 2018 keeps moving between 26 minutes, 9 minutes and 1 minute remaining.
Already popped a xanny to take the edge off, defo most painful MacOS install in 10 years.
[doublepost=1563323534][/doublepost]Fun fact;
When I pressed the power button it suddenly changed from 26 minutes to “less than a minute remaining...” and then got stuck there.
There is some poo poo stuff going on with this beta.
I just tried to reactivate my iCloud Drive. It is still behaving insanely on my side… (absolutely useless, had to completely turn off the iCloud Drive feature)
Mine got stuck at the end. I turned the machine off once I realized it wasn't going to be unstuck. It started back up, entered password and update resumed normally.
Looks like this is going to be a rough one. Unless this is some new feature.

Well, since I cannot live without several critical 32-bit apps and iTunes 12.6.5, I will wait another two or three years before jumping to Catalina. Hopefully Catalina at that point can be a bit closer to being bug free.
Wow, seems like a rough one. Glad I'm not trying this OSX beta. Unfortunately I have a few 32-bit apps that I still need, so won't get to play with this for a year or two.
Since none of the Recovery modes work there is no way out.
Machines are bricked boys. I’m losing hope.
One guy managed the turn the T2 security off, and it didn’t help so we run out of options.

LOOOL.
Back to Windows Vista baby. And we double down on endless UAC with the requirement for standard user as well. So, each action needs standard user password and admin password, some even need root password. Three in total.
I guess I was lucky. Public Beta on my 2018 MBP. I saw the red dot on system preferences clicked update and in 30 minutes was up and running. I have 450GB free space on my drive, so maybe that helped.
God damn. Thankfully I installed Catalina super early on (beta 1) just to install iOS 13 beta 1. Recovery option was available back then. High Sierra ftw!
“...but this one is tough, especially since can't get cmd+l to work and recovery mode does not appear to work. And Diagnostic mode it shows serial number in bottom left but never goes past that. So seems to hit road blocks in all the most common avenues.”
Has any update ever caused this?

This didn't work out well for Vista, I can't imagine the constant dialogue boxes would work for MacOS. Whoever thought this up didn't think through the perfect case studies of what not to do.
NecRosex, have you tried downloading the Mac OS Mojave installer, creating a 20gb partition on an external and using DiskMakerX to create a bootable reinstall partition? Then you just hold Option key at startup and select Mojave installer.
It’s 4:40 AM in the EU, haven’t slept yet..and I’m losing my ****...gotta get some rest, I’ll let it run for a couple of hours in a hope it might eventually finish on its own (doubt it).
I’ll follow your suggestion tomorrow (I mean later today) and I’ll reply to this thread in case I need help or just to let you lot know whether it worked or not. Cheers
Oh man - I left for a business trip and decided since I was having issues with outlook, maybe this update would fix it. Wish I had looked before leaping. I let it sit plugged in ‘estimating time remaining” for the 3+ hours on my road trip. I hard booted it with Verbose option, showed a bunch then went right back to apple logo with 26 min, then estimating... I guess the pram reset is next? Shoulda stuck with beta 1.
Well pram reset did get me to the pretty installing on Mac HD screen. Sitting at 26 min. I got all night so.. go for it.

I wasn't asked this and now my Chrome/Telegram/LINE doesn't show notification. Do you know where can I authorize it ? Thanks
Updated: Found it. There is a "Notification" section in Preferences
Really? Like what. The only apps that I lost coming from Mojave to Catalina was Wipr and uTorrent, but both got replaced easily by alternatives
