Apple removed Atheros 9380 AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x3112) from 10.14, but the older BCM94322MC still works.

Is there anything else that doesn’t work? You might need to copy graphics KEXTS as well as the ones for WiFi and audio.
I have full acceleration with Nvidia native driver, eVGA GTX680 for Mac. Only Atheros 9380 AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x3112) and audio did not work.

Ok.
[doublepost=1531044092][/doublepost]@tsialex How far back do you think we can bring support? Do you we could get this running on like a 2007 MacBook or another really old device?
The earliest? MacBook early 2009 (MacBook5,2), maybe. You need a "supported" GPU and SSE4.1.
This will go back as far as SSE4.1 is present, so from C2D Penryn based machines on. 2007 seems out of scope, unless you replace an old C2D with a penryn processor by soldering. Only candidate would be iMac due to socketed C2D...
Post a screenshot for your nvram, open Terminal and sudo nvram -p.

Did you edit PreBoot? Your Mac supports APFS…
Two things:
1) correct no_compat_check to -no_compat_check
2) Replace PlatformSupport.plist on the PreBoot volume too, your Mac supports APFS natively.
Remove the photo, you have iCloud info/credentials there
Edit: Replace/volume

Just got to the setup assistant in Mojave on MacBook7,1 by replacing /S*/L*/UserEventPlugins from High Sierra!!!!!
Edit: And the desktop!! It's working, guys. Someone with a MacPro3,1 should give this a try!
Edit: I'm sending this message from Safari on Mojave on my MacBook7,1. No QE/CI of course, can't change the brightness, sleep does not seem to work, nor does sound. I'll be trying out some kext patching and further testing to figure out which UserEventPlugin is the culprit (there are 50-odd), but to @dosdude1 and others, hello from the first 2010 MB to ever not KP in Mojave
Hi, I do have same Macbook7,1 with Mojave Beta 2 installed on an external ssd, I have done many attempts with LZVN decompiling and so on, thanks for your discovery of UserEventPlugins, using your suggested kexts finally on verbose I can boot to single user mode and see the lines I needed:
"HID: Legacy Shim 2"
In verbose mode I see all lines went fine, until I can see the stage2 Apple logo, but after it, leds to a black screen, I mean the internal LCD is completely turned off, but I see and detect through router that under macOS Mojave is running fine.
I have tried to use all the legacy Nvidia Tesla kext, also those in recovery partition, cause when I restore a Mojave basesystem.dmg to a drive it boots correctly till to the GUI.
I have correctly chown/chmod any S/L/E and given in single user mode the command:
"kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel"
All the needed kexts are allowed and Kextcache ID generated without issues.
But I boot to a black turned off LCD even if Mojave is running.
I don't know what I am doing wrong.
EDIT:
I have fixed it in this way:
- Taking a backup of Mojave's UserEventPlugins, then copied the entire UserEventPlugins folder from High Sierra to Mojave /S/L/ path;
- From the backed up Mojave UserEventPlugins copied into the High Sierra's replaced folder the first 20 plugins in alphabetical order.
Now it boots fine to GUI with few glitches.

Your problem is the PlatformSupport.plist on the Preboot hidden volume, replace there too.

It's needed to keep all needed configuration/kexts out of FV2 volume. Without it, you don't boot since your main volume is cryptographed, and you can't access it before the password validation.
It's needed even without FV2 active.
