You might also be running into issues because you’re running Mojave on an incompatible and unsupported device. Did you have to use a third party tool to install Mojave in the first place?
You might want to see if that tool is conflicting with anything.Official support for Mojave is MacBook Pro mid-2012 and up:The last OS to support a 2008 MacBook is El Capitan.Also, when going into recovery mode, the ‘Install MacOS option’ won’t install an older OS over a newer version. So you’ll have to format your drive in recovery mode as MacOS Extended Journaled depending on what OS you plan to go down to. Mojave utilizes the relatively new APFS format and you might run into issues if you try using APFS on an older OS.
This also means Time Machine backups made while on APFS are going to be incompatible. Ah, I misunderstood your original post.Have you tried downloading the El Capitan installer from a third party source?You can also try connecting an external drive, booting into recovery mode, and choosing your external drive in the reinstall OS X option. I don’t remember what version of MacOS is available with that method and IIRC, it depends on the MacBook model you’re using. If you reboot into your internal drive and check the external drive, you should be able to extract the InstallESD.dmg file to use to make a bootable installer for your older MacBook. Yes, that^^ / this is the correct installer. It upgrades any Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.10 to a full version of 10.11.6.
What I like about this installer, is that it still updates legacy programs like iPhoto, just to give the end user extra time to prepare for the inevitable iPhoto to Photos transition on old Macs.I prefer putting this 10.11.6 full upgrader and making a fully independently bootable USB stick, using DiskMakerX, because doing it that way never makes you provide an AppleID to install this new OS on any older 10.6 to 10.10 Mac. Its seems that any other way, you have to enter AppleID and get online verified before it allows you to upgrade, and DiskMaker X bootable USB stick method doesn't need an internet connection nor AppleID at time of install (after downloading and making bootable USB stick, of course); and as a Tech, I don't wanna do that for every damn upgrade I am doing.

Sometimes I am just wiping an old Mac for disposal/donation, reinstalling a generic useable stock macOS, and this method is the most useful for me.(this slightly older version is best for macOS Sierra, OS X El Capitan and Yosemite)PS: if you are having problems doing all this from your Mojave Mac, these links will work on your MBP 08, and you can download and build the installer there. As I mentioned, making this installer bootable on a USB thumb drive with DiskMakerX is a great solution, because then you can archive this bootable USB stick forever as the last way to upgrade any old compatible Mac to macOS 10.11.6 without an AppleID prompt nor internet connection.
