Hi and thanks for the provided guide.
I followed installation guide lines (clean install with latest kexts, clover etc.) and everything goes as it should as soon as I paste generated SSDT.aml from ~/Library/ssdtPRGen/ssdt.aml into EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched and reboot. After rebooting the system starts loading but it hangs on the downloading screen and doesn't boot into Mojave. When I remove SSDT from the Patched -folder and reboot the system again it will download normally and boots into Mojave.
Booting verbose stops here and gives following when SSDT.aml is in the Patched -folder.

Do you have any idea/can you point out what is causing this?

It may be a problem with a newer version of the Piker Alpha script. For now don't use the SSDT for power management. There will be a solution posted later on. If you want to use the one attached for your specific CPU you can do that. If you don't have one of these two CPUs then don't use either.

Aarowaa,
Could you post the ssdt that is giving you trouble?
 
Will check what is wrong with the script, will also check the license and if it has a GPL or similar i will fork the project in the model that @LisaAlterEgo said that it is the last known good working one and modify the link on the guide to use that model as it is really annyoing and a lot of people are having trouble.

Will be home soon and will work on it tonight.

I have i5-3470 and tried also with your attached i5-3470 ssdt and the same problem still exists. I waited 5 min longer on the loading screen and verbose gave further this information (if this information has any value):

I compared my ssdt to i5-3470 ssdt which @trs96 posted and they seem identical to me. But here is mine.

It appears that the ssdt is ok, and you have something else causing the problem.
Could you post the requested problem reporting files of page 1?

Yes, there you go. Thanks for the effort!

I don't see anything certain, but you seem to have a lot of
fake-SMC keys in your nvram. Start up Clover, and when
you get to the Clover selection screen, hit F11 to clear your
nvram. It may reboot afterwards.

Also could you please check your /Library/Extensions and
/System/Library/Extensions to ensure that you don't have
any of the kexts that we install there? Did you rebuild your
boot cache with Hackintool? You might try adding a key to
your config.plist in Root -> SystemParameters called
NoCaches with Type Boolean and Value YES.

Is your graphics card an RX480 or an RX580? I see both
indicated in your startup.

Finally, can you unplug the Bluetooth from your interior
media port and see if that makes any difference?
