Updated WEG, Lilu, AppleALC, no luck upgrading from Mojave. Graphics hangs (black screen). Tried a few things without luck (disable IGPU, agdpmod=pikera, remove GPU card). This is an old machine, so maybe I need to go through and clean up old kext.

I am having the same issue, also on older hardware. I can only get to the desktop by booting in safe mode. Do you know of a way to uninstall 10.15.1 without a full reinstall? Thanks,
 
I got the same problem here and on haswell as well. I've tried booting with safe mode or verbose mode, but with no lucks, both of them failed. I can only see black screen after clover page, with no error messages. I've tried booting with another clover USB, apple logo showed up but after 75% loaded, the screen goes black again.
I've updated lilu, AppleALC and WEG before I have the system updated, and I've tried removing WEG, unfortunately, nothing works.
Checked all needed modules are inside drivers64UEFI.
Just wanna have it booted up and get back those settings of the applications arghhhhh

I used a backup to get back to Mojave. I don't think there is any simple way to restore without a backup, except for a reinstall.

Have you tried ACPI patch ECO to EC using the latest clover configurator?
 
Decided to get back to this. Switched to OpenCore and all new kext. Fresh install. Worked perfectly.

Changed machine type to iMac15,1 and then upgraded to Big Sur. Everything works, except video playback in iTunes.
