Are you talking about the stub download?
Can I create an USB installer with it?

Download dosdude1's Mojave Patcher here http://dosdude1.com/mojave/
The version MUST be 1.33 !
( This app is for " un-supported" Macs - you don't need it for that ! )
Run the app but ONLY use the app's TOOLS menu to download the FULL 6.05gb Mojave 10.14.6 installer.
No, no, no please do not ask me to download anything for a website that only God knows what I am going to download the website connection is not secure (not https://)
I just find out I have an old macOS Mojave 10.14.5 (18F132) USB installer, Do you think I can download the FULL Installer with it?
Camelia.
dosdude1 is considered a hero by many Mac owners !
All you will be doing using the " Mojave Patcher's "TOOLS" menu (- believe me ! - ) is downloading the Mojave FULL 6.05gb 10.14.6 installer.
You will see it either in your Downloads folder or in Applications folder - I forget which.
After downloading it you should keep it in a safe place for future installations.
Honest truth.

Run in Terminal
Code:
/usr/bin/open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate?client=bau&installMajorOSVersion=10.14.6"Credit to TimothyR734 #3547
I’m talking full installer 6,05 gb and YES you can create an usb installer with it
There are other methods. I usually use the python script. Very easy to set up in the terminal.I am having the same issue (I cannot download the FULL Mojave 10.14.6 installer (6.04gb.))
but I am on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G8030)
...
I know, but when download, it's the stub download.
I wanted the full installer to make a USB installer for the laptop at work
I don't know what to do
...
You can get that python script (named installinstallmacos) from here - https://github.com/munki/macadmin-scripts
click the green Download button to get the .zip file. Double-click to open that .zip, then read the instruction file. Run the script through your terminal. It will give you several choices. Macs that don't have a T1/T2 chip can use the 18G87 build (which, at the moment is the only 10.14.6 download, so a good choice). That script will get you what you need.
This python script - and the DosDude patcher apps do NOT download the macOS installer from some sketchy site. They both operate in a similar fashion to call for the download direct from Apple's servers. They just use slightly different methods to get to those servers. So, you get the most up-to-date downloads whenever Apple provides them on the download servers.

Ironically my MacBook5,1(10.14.6) can download Mojave and High Sierra from the App Store without any issues, but unable to download El Capitan.
Edit: I stand corrected. I was able to download El Capitan from my external Mavericks HDD.

Could you be so kind to post again the links? Because I am getting

The requested page could not be found." when I click on them - Thanks
The code I typed in Terminal, Only opens "System Preferences:
Code:
/usr/bin/open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate?client=bau&installMajorOSVersion=10.14.6"How Can I know if it is downloading the macOS?
Nop, I didn't
yet...The weather in Mexico City is wonderful not to hot not to cold, comparing to the Japanese weather
I think my next try will be the python script, if there is not solution for the Terminal method.
Why Apple is doing this????
Any good user here that can hash (SHA1) the InstallESD.dmg and BaseSystem.dmg of his brand new macOS Mojave 18G87 build Full Installer???

Sorry, I forgot High Sierra doesn't have software update in Preferences. The command can't work.

.. . . the dosdude1 Mojave Patcher App . . .
1. Download the program ( link http://dosdude1.com/mojave/ )
2, Run the program.
3. Go to the "Tools "menu " in the program - that is the ONLY feature of the app
that you need to use.
3. Download the FULL 6.05 gb Mojave 10.14.6 installer. ( from the Apple server ).
4. Quit dosdude1's Mojave Patcher.
4. Put the Mojave FULL installer into Applications ( . .but make copy somewhere safe for the future ).
NOTE : Before installing I strongly suggest that your Mojave full install be to a separate SSD.
How hard is that ?

Using third-party apps to download an operating system is generally a bad idea.
Transmission and HandBrake are made by known developers, but they were hijacked to deliver malware. The same can happen to macOS Mojave Patcher.
Your instructions from the first post are incorrect. Get button is visible only if you are not logged into App Store or don't own that version of MacOS. Otherwise, the button should be a cloud with a downward arrow.
It's recommended to login before downloading an app.
These are the App Store links for
OS X El Capitan

https://apps.apple.com/app/id1455661060?mt=12
The last few versions of macOS are not assigned to one's account in the App Store, so they never show as purchased and never show the cloud/download icon. They always show "Get".

I suggested using the "GET" button in the App Store in my first post in this thread but some people found that too hard.

I can verify dosdude is a hero and his patcher tools are awesome the new Catalina one is a work of art and they are safe as the macOS is downloaded directly from the Apple servers
When I'm signed in, I have the get button; no cloud icon at all. It's this way with 3 different Apple IDs.
On a MBP 2015 with macOS Sierra installed it gave me the 22 MB installer stub. Running a High Sierra VirtualBox Guest macOS from the same Mac lead to the full macOS Mojave 10.14.6 installer image. There might be easier ways to obtain the full installer, but if you´re maintaining a VM anyway, that could be another way to get Mojave easily from the MAS (at least with a modified cpuidset to some value that Apple doesn't provide a stub).
Yes, the script is great, however sometimes it doesn't give what you want, e.g. if your Mac model from where you download isn't targeted. Has been happening to me with macOS High Sierra and a dedicated version for a MBP 2018 that didn't download, not even in a VM from a MBP 2015.
You really could download these? In the past one always has not been able to download an equal or lower macOS than installed. I mean, AFAIK, one could download macOS 10.14.6 from macOS 10.14.5, but not the other way round.

6.04gb is the first FULL 10.14.6 download offered by Apple.
If you install that then you will have to install the 10.14.6 SUPPLEMENTARY which appears to interfere with SLEEP.
The CURRENT ( re-release ) FULL download of 10.14.6 from Apple is 6.05gb which it would seem includes the SUPPLEMENTARY and perhaps revisions.
I have absolutely no sleep or any other issues at all in my 6.05gb FULL installation of Mojave10.14.6
==========================================================
Run Mojave Patcher but ONLY use the dropdown "TOOLS" option to download the FULL 6.05gb installer.
QUIT Mojave Patcher.
( OPTION ) Before running the Mojave 10.14.6 installer - save a copy somewhere external eg : USB stick - for future re-installs.
=========================================================
The "GET" button in the App Store appears if you do not have any Mojave installers in your Applications folder or if you are booted into High Sierra or lower.
1. Go to the App Store
2. SEARCH in the App Store for "Mojave "
3. if your SEARCH yields a Mojave page with "GET" in the top right corner - hit it !
That is the revised, 6.05gb FULL installer.
( if "download " only is displayed - that is probably the smaller STUB installer )
==========================================================
Don't know why this is so hard to do for some people. As a test I used both of the above download methods - installed - absolutely identical, problem free, installations.

You can also check the version number of that 10.14.6 app full install download. The current installer is version 14.6.03
Camelia in the post #47 shows an info window for version 14.6.01 - which would not (as you said) include the supplmentary update.
I prefer to watch the version number of the installer app, and not rely on the size of the download to determine if what I have is the most up-to-date.

Yes, you are correct, = two revisions since the first FULL/final release.
I forgot to add that. Thanks for the reminder.
