Night shift patch installed but when I reboot I’m stuck at the Apple logo with full load bar. MacBook 5,2

I have the exact same issue on my MacBookPro5,3. I restored my files from a MacBook5,2 with NighShift Patcher. This could´ve caused issues, right?

I rebooted with Verbose output. It gave me lots of issues with corebrightness...
[doublepost=1532820600][/doublepost]Fixed the not booting issue. Its just hard to fix. I needed to grab a CoreBrightness framework from another mac, put it onto a USB drive, and copied it in the terminal from the install usb drive to my macbook. If somebody needs a Vanilla CoreBrightness framework, just hang me up.

Can you try patching again (re-install the patch using Patch Updater), and send me the resulting CoreBrightness if it ends up not working? I'm not sure what's going on, but I need to see if something's going wrong during the patching process. It worked fine during my testing, so I don't understand why it's not working for you.

@dosdude1 Can I use the Night Shift patch on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65)?

Why is RAM soooo expensive now?

Yes, it should work in 10.13 too, although I have not tested that. The binary patcher is attached, just run it like so:

"cbpatcher /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework/Versions/A/CoreBrightness <path to save patched binary to, IE: /Users/user/Desktop/CoreBrightness>"

Then you'll need to move that patched binary into the Versions/A directory of the framework, set permissions correctly, re-codesign, and it should work.

Your on-the-fly patcher it's working fine on MB7,1 , and I noticed that it takes even a backup of the previous CoreBrightness.framework, but reading some posts, I guess, as explained into pikeralpha blog, should be created also a separate binary patcher for another group of machines, because it seems one excludes the other, for example:
MacBookPro9,x <---> MacBookPro8,x

It shouldn't exclude any, as I have it setting it to require MBP1,x, etc...

Oh, it still says
"All credits for the methods used in this patch go to "Pikeralpha" at https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com" that is the one that breaks your system, is that just a bug? And if I do this and it does not work, can I revert changes?

what macOS are you installing the patch updates on and I am not sure I took the risk on mine to try just like I used the night shift patch from the High Sierra until dosdude1 created one if something broke I most like would have to install either macOS again

I am installing the patches on High Sierra 10.13.6, and I downloaded the Patch Updater using the .sh script. Didn't dosdude release a Night Shift patcher?

Night Shift is not officially supported on your machine even though high sierra is..

Yeah, I know, crazy. Apparently it relies on the Metal framework. From Apple's Doc:

Night Shift requires macOS Sierra 10.12.4 and one of these Mac computers, using the built-in display or the displays listed:
