Asus X550l - Problem with beta 4 and 5

Depends on what you mean by "transferring".
There are correct ways to install kexts, and many incorrect ways.

On the main system(Sierra) I executed the following commands:

sudo mkdir /Volumes/External-HD/kexts
sudo cp -R /Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext /Volumes/External-HD/kexts

The ¨kexts¨ folder and the ¨FakeSMC.kext¨ file were successfully created on the external hd where High Sierra 10.13 Beta 6 is installed.

But still it is not possible to initialize the kext when I boot 10.13 in mobo verbose (-s).

Then you have some issue unrelated to graphics.

I've typed this terminal command for beta 4 USB installer:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra\ Beta.app --nointeraction

is it right also for beta 5 and 6?

Thx!

If you copied with wrong permissions in the first place, cp -R can't correct it.
Always delete the existing one before copying.
eg.
Code:
sudo mkdir /Volumes/External-HD/kexts
rm -Rf /Volumes/External-HD/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext
sudo cp -R /Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext  /Volumes/External-HD/kexts

Also, make sure you have SIP disabled in your config.plist (correct RtVariables settings).

Yes.
You would know if it wasn't correct, as you'd receive an error.

wich files do you have in your drivers64UEFI folder?

SIP is disabled:

I am in doubt if FakeSMC.kext was able to boot successfully now:

However, it can not boot properly:

According to your kextcache output, your system kexts are damaged/corrupt.

I tried several times to load FakeSMC.kext manually but still with the same error.
Today I updated to beta 7. It continues with the same problem but now a new message is appearing:
