MBP 1,1-10,2 dosdude1 Installer-Bootstick on supported late early-intels

[bobesch]

I regularly use the Mojave-macOS-Installer-Bootstick created through @dosdude1 's MojavePatcher.App
to install Mojave onto my mid2012 15" MBP9,1, which is natively supported. *)
It's the normal one-step-installation procedure without the second-step PostInstall-routine.
SIP stays enabled. Patches are not installed. SystemSettings and Utility-Folder are also not altered.

So this is basically a question to Collin / @dosdude1, if doing so is ok.
So far I' didn't run into any problem yet - even on Dual/MultiBoot machines involving OCLP.

*) Edit: the mentioned mid2012 MBP did undergo a previous HighSierra-Installation in order to get the required Firmware-updates.

So long as you don't apply the post-install patches, the resulting Mojave install is completely unmodified from its stock form. The same applies to Catalina Patcher even with its auto-patching implementation; it will simply just install no patches if it detects you are installing on a natively supported machine.

Thank You so much!
I get always bashed, when I suggest the PatcherApps to install macOS on supported machines.
Giving, the FlashUpdate-Cascade had been already done in the past,
I think, explaining/using the patchers is the easiest way to create an installer bootstick,
especially if one has to guide a newbie in forum through the steps,
and I suggest it mainly, if the official way throught terminal and or BalenaEtcher did cause problems.
Again, many thanks for all!

I too use a Catalina Patcher USB as a general-purpose installer. The machine I'm typing on, a 2017 Retina iMac, had been tied in knots by the seller and he couldn't reset it. I got it cheap, got it home, plugged in the stick - voila!
Great all=purpose macOS installer.
