[Guide] Laptop backlight control using AppleBacklightFixup.kext

[mhk]

Hello, this is my first post and my first hackintosh on laptop. I update Mojave from Mojave beta and after I do this I cannot do brightness to work. Slider work. I follow this guide and read posts but still with no results. I did everything by my self but on this one thing I give up after a week. Can someone check my debug zip for help? Thanks

I followed the guide but after rebuilding the cache I cannot boot anymore, starts loading then I get the Ø symbol. I can boot from Recovery HD. To provide a bit of context I have my hackintosh perfectly working on macos 10.12.4 then I updated the bios and since then when I try to adjust the brightness the computer freezes, so I thought to upgrade to 10.12.6 to have original macos support for my kabylake cpu and maybe fixing the problem, I also removed FAKEPCIID.kext (it shouldn't be useful anymore right?) but I still get freeze if I try to adjust the brightness and no brightness bar appears under settings. I attach the problem reporting zip.

all kexts you need should be installed to /Library/Extensions you are missing FakeSMC.kext from there

Thanks for the advice, I added the FakeSMC.kext and rebuilt the cache even though I wasn't using it on 10.12.4 and had no troubles.
Now on boot instead of the Ø symbol I get a black screen when the loading bar is at almost 3/4.

Then it booted and I was able to adjust the brightness from the settings, but other times it crashed. Anyhow I tried to adjust the brightness with F11 F12 and the system freezes.

if you have made changes, you will need to upload new problem reporting files

Your ioreg shows ACPIBacklight.kext installed. As per post #1, ACPIBacklight.kext and IntelBacklight.kext cannot be used since 10.12.4.

Read post #1.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
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.

Ok I used the script, report attached.
After following the guide the current problems are:
1) Sometimes at the end of the boot I get a black screen and I have to shut down and retry to boot.
2) Can't use F11 and F12 to adjust the brightness or the system freezes, but I can adjust it through settings successfully.
3) No audio output is detected anymore.
4) If I put the pc in stop I can't get out of it.
I wasn't having any of these problems when I was on macos 10.12.4 and before I updated my BIOS, if useful I can provide the configuration I had before.
