Hello,

Thanks for such nice solution to use Disk Utility of 10.10 in 10.11.
Just now installed macOS Sierra Public Beta and tried your the solution and am getting the following error.
"
Termination Reason: DYLD, [0x4] Symbol missing
Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries

Dyld Error Message:

Please try and find a working solution.

Working perfectly, thank you very much!

Is this possible in Sierra?

Ca you please add support for sierra? macOS 12.4 =>

Thank you :)

I was able to get it to work on Sierra.

The issue was some missing symbols (_kDMMediaTypeCDROM and _DIHLGetBundleSize), which are only found in old frameworks. So just copy them over and use install_name_tool to load them instead.

1. Run the script as above.

2. Re-download the package and mount them:

curl -ORL http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/21/09/031-20634/8d84o1ky5gn2agnf5kiz9eed134n7y3q4c/RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg

xar -xf RecoveryHDUpdate.pkg

hdiutil attach -nobrowse RecoveryHDMeta.dmg
hdiutil attach -nobrowse "/Volumes/Recovery HD Update/BaseSystem.dmg"

3. Copy over DiskManagement.framework and DiskImages.framework from

/Volumes/OS X Base System/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks

to

/tmp/DU1010/Disk Utility (10.10).app/Contents/Frameworks

4. Use install_name_tool to change where to look for those shared libraries (use otool -L in before/after to confirm that paths are really changing).

cd "/tmp/DU1010/Disk Utility (10.10).app/Contents/MacOS"
install_name_tool -change /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/DiskManagement @executable_path/../Frameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/DiskManagement Disk\ Utility
install_name_tool -change /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskImages.framework/Versions/A/DiskImages @executable_path/../Frameworks/DiskImages.framework/Versions/A/DiskImages Disk\ Utility

Doesn't work. Under 10.13.6, it won't even start.

on 10.14.6
