Attach complete problem reporting files (use invalid ig-platform-id if necessary to boot).
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Also, please fix your profile as requested in the FAQ.

Thanks! The debug zip file is attached.

Why are you using iMac SMBIOS with a laptop?
This ioreg does not correspond to the EFI/Clover you attached.
The ioreg shows iMac14,2, yet config.plist/SMBIOS shows MacBookAir7,1.

For you to explain.

I was booting with my USB installer disk, because I cannot boot with the correct FakeID and platform-id.
So it seems that the script was picking the information from my USB installer disk.

I will do it again with the platform-id 0x12345678.

UPDATE: the debug file is attached. Thanks!

Missing verbose boot photo (booting with valid ig-platform-id).

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly:
- kexts are installed to the wrong directory (for 10.11 and later, kexts should be installed to /L/E, not /S/L/E)

All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.
Read post #2 of the Clover guide for details:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, please fix your profile as per FAQ (use profile fields for your laptop, signature for desktop; screen resolution must be present in 'Graphics')

You may need to inject EDID... (set config.plist/Graphics/EDID/Inject=true)

Note also that the guide recommends the RehabMan Clover build, and AptioMemoryFix.efi instead of OsxAptioFix*.efi.

Thanks! The attached file is still with platform-id 0x12345678, but after I installing kexts to /L/E instead of /S/L/E, with EDID injected, and AptioMemoryFix.efi replacing OsxAptioFix*.efi.

Once I rebuild kextcache and change platform-id to 0x591b0000, the machine cannot boot. The verbose message is hard to capture, and the last screen before it goes to black and reboot is attached.

The USB installer disk I am using is the one I used for my desktop (created by UniBeast), so the Clover build is not the one in the Clover guide, and I am not sure if this really matters...

You have duplicate kexts... some in /L/E, some in /S/L/E (look at your kextcache output).
Remove unneeded kexts, remove duplicates (leave in /L/E).
Probably you should remove AppleALC as well (you can experiment with audio later).
Remove also IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext (it does the same as a patch you already have in config.plist).

Not related: But as per BrcmPatchRAM instructions, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext is to be used instead of BrcmFirmwareData.kext.

Thanks for the reply. I've reinstalled everything, and use your latest Clover build, yet the exact same issue remains. Attached is the debug files. Please help!

CSM/legacy boot enabled in BIOS?
And you might try implementing backlight control.
You didn't take my advice regarding AppleALC.kext.

Thanks. Attached is the new debug file. I still cannot boot into the system with a valid platform-id.

I've deleted AppleALC.kext, implemented backlight control.
The brightness keys are working in the Clover booting screen, but won't work once I login the system with platform-id: 0x12345678.
Also tested with legacy boot option enabled.

Brightness controls not expected to work with invalid ig-platform-id (working graphics is a pre-requisite).

32mb DVMT patch not needed when using IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext. Do not use both.
You may also want to try different ig-platform-id values (such as 0x59160000).
