Has anyone using TARDISK been successful updating into MOJAVE?
Hello Jim,
Yes to following the instructions. Here is what I did. I backed up anything that needed to be backed up and un-peared my Tardisk and then re-formated it to HFS+ and named it TarDisk. (Then run FSCK if you feel the need). I then installed Mojave and got it up and running. (You do not have to do this first if you don't want to) Once it was up and running, I backed it up to a portable drive as my time machine backup. I then followed the steps on the Pear_TarDisk_Mojave.pdf.
Note: While you do copy the Sierra installer to a USB stick, you do not actually install Sierra. It is merely to change the structure of the file system back to HFS+ when Mojave has changed it to APFS. Once that is done, you go then restore your time machine backup of Mojave and everything works great. About the PDF...let me know how and I will send it to you.

It’s sad to see how these posts ended. Does any of the original members have any updates on their experiences? Did ya just rip out TarDisk? Did it kinda work? Any other successes? Happy New Year to all
Hey Pete! Is everything still running fine? I'm finally back with a functioning MB 2014 after some rookie luck! I'm contemplating downgrading macOS to Sierra (from High Sierra) in order to follow the TarDisk Unpearing instructions.
I've been trying to get ahold of Luiz for 3 weeks now. Based on reading these emails I might give up. The product is a great idea conceptually but if they can't provide adequate support then why bother? I'll just have my wife use it as a flash drive.
Absolutely no response from their tech support. Sent an email & left a voicemail last week.
I also tried to contact the company and didn't received any answer. I guess, that it was a waste of money to purchase TarDisk.
These guys wrote reviews from well known tech sites...let them know:

I’m frozen in a loop of Mojave trying to install
Ok man, so you just yanked it out and you were able to load the install? Thankfully I do have a backup. Thanks for letting us know
Awesome! You should do us all a favour and try installing Tardisk again. 😁
Same here.
I've contacted the helpdesk several times. Never gotten a reply..
As a Tardisk customer, I really feel scammed
Some problem here. What is the proper way to format the SSD? Disk utility just informs it is unformatted, but I cannot format it.
I really hope that works
Hey Wigdaddy, Should I just keep pressing this restart button?: (Or are you suggesting I should do something else?). Thanks
I learned a lot in your comments. I’m at an Apple Store now. Please keep us posted. I’ll do same
How did you access your photos and documents after the wipe? Were you able to restore from a Time Machine backup?
TarDisk and Mojave
