I could get to the login screen, but after entering my password, the screen stays black with only the mouse cursor. I was succesful with restoring to high-Sierra. On second attempt to reinstall Mojave, it was unsuccessful being stuck on the last stage with the screen and progress bar install for half a day. Will try to do another recover. Any suggestion?
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), macOS Mojave (10.14)
I gave up after trying, so I did a clean install of HighSierra. I tried restoring my backup from the TimeMachine, but that gave me an error, too. I finally installed Mojave by first partitioning the SSD as separate OS. I did this in case my upgraded HighSierra crapped out again, which had me create this thread in the first place. I'm not sure, but possibly the code in my first attempt at upgrading HighSierra was incompatible with the Mojave build. Next, I upgraded HighSierra to Mojave. Then, I deleted the Mojave partition. Things are working fine so far.
Try installing from cold boot to SAFE MODE ( Cold boot and immediately hold down COMMAND and S). It will take much longer to boot up . Once up and running, you will know you are SAFE MODE because TOP RIGHT corner of screen will have RED Notification say SAFE MODE
Good luck
My Mojave install was working fine until yesterday.
