Then you either need to put it there in your profile or add it to your build signature if you want to post here.

Gothic, I did double check the bios more than triple and the bios is up to date 12c. the usb installer create using UniBeast 8.3.2. it showing success with EFI drive shown.
it seem to be success. I didn't add any thing extra.
when boot up to clover screen , I even check to make sure the usbownership is checked
but problem is still the same.
thanks for you reply by the way.

I made the usb stick from a Hackintosh, not from a real Mac, is that make any different?

Don't use BIOS 12c. I have had the same issues booting clean installs of Mojave from both the Unibeast and existing installations, as have others. Revert back to BIOS F11.

Ahhh! Down grade your BIOS to F11. jb007 said that F12 had massive ACPI errors and would not load MacOS so I’m almost positive that’s the issue

downgrade to F11, no longer have error hold back, but then after select installing from usb, apple logo appear with loading bar running, then the screen go black.
then I restart the system and boot to usb again with usb ownership inject, whalaaaa, installing on progress...and now waiting ...
and the os is done,...now little more homework and research what to do next...

Hey KGP, Im hitting a road block... any help would be amazing. Thank you!

Following your IOREG save, you already properly adopted and implemented the TB-SSDT:

The IOREG snapshot you upload above already shows a successful TB ACPI implementation based on SSDT-X299-TB3HP.aml. Is this yours? If not, upload an IOREG.save of your system' s ACPI table and I can adopt SSDT-X299-TB3HP.aml to your system and slot configuration.

Hello @kgp -and thanks for the response and advice. My board is not an X299, but a Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 7 Rev. 1 (see build sig) It's also been downgraded to F7 as an equivalent to F10 used by the Z370 Ultra Gaming 7. The SSDT I downloaded was named "SSDT-Z370-TB3HP" in the download. I'll attach my i/o Save As and my EFI config (no serial number) in case it is needed. So, Thunderbolt does work provided the UAD Apollo 8 is powered up before PC startup. It just doesn't "come back" after switching off the UAD and then switching it back on.
Same deal with the Blackmagic Design Multidock 2. Note: Since the BMD Multidock 2 has to be daisy chained to be recognized at all in OS X, I've removed it from my hack build and I have reattached it to my 2012 Mac Mini.

No idea where you downloaded "SSDT-Z370-TB3HP" and if there are any deviations from SSDT-X299-TB3HP.aml, apart form the usually necessary ACPI path and ACPI replacement adaptation.

Anyway, TB and XHC5 seems properly implemented on your system.

At second place it would be interesting to know, which TB adapter you are currently employing and whether or not it would be necessary to remove THB-C to achieve TB and USB HotPlug.

Do the 2 docks properly work under windows or on a real Mac?

Thanks KGP. Here is where I am at... audio interface has to be on at boot, hack sleeps and wakes and it stays connected, I can turn the interface off and on and it stays connected, when I turn off interface my hack still shows interface is connected like it "holds on to it" while off and on and sleeping" but if I unplug it its gone and won't connect until I reboot again so I am close!

I have attached my EFI and SSDT's if you could maybe take a look and see if I am missing something important? I am leaning towards something is not right in my config.plist.

Hardware is Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 7 Rev. 1 with BIOS F11 and GC-Titan Ridge

Thank you again for taking the time to give any insight on this for me!
