Hello,
I have made a account in order to ask for help about a pretty difficult situation I am in with my hackintosh attempt on a ThinkPad X250. I set up everything, including the bios settings needed, and when booting to opencore, it gives me the option of Windows, Mac (External), or OpenShell. When pressing enter on Mac (External), it simply transports me to a black screen, where it hangs...and hangs.

I've tried many different options for the fixing this, but I've seemingly done all I can. If anyone here knows what the issue is, I'd be very happy.

Specs:
- Intel Core i7 - 5600U
- Intel HD Graphics 5500
- 11ac, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265, 2x2, Wi-Fi + BT adapter, M.2 card

ACPI:
- SSDT-EC-LAPTOP.aml
- SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA.aml
- SSDT-PNLF.aml
- SSDT-XOSI.aml

Drivers:
- HfsPlus.efi
- OpenRuntime.efi

Kexts:
- AirportItlwm.kext
- BrightnessKeys.kext
- IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext
- IntelBluetoothInjector.kext
- IntelBTPatcher.kext
- IntelMausi.kext
- IntelSnowMausi.kext
- Lilu.kext
- SMCBatteryManager.kext
- SMCLightSensor.kext
- SMCProcessor.kext
- USBToolBox.kext
- UTBMap.kext
- VirtualSMC.kext
- VoodooI2C.kext
- VoodooI2CHID.kext
- VoodooI2CSynaptics.kext
- VoodooPS2Controller.kext
- WhateverGreen.kext


EDIT 1: Attached the EFI file.

Have you downloaded a pre-made EFI from someone which you are trying to boot from ?
Many kexts that you've listed are unnecessary and provide more information what are you trying to accomplish.

- Upload your EFI
- What macOS version are you trying to install
- OpenCore version

I made my own EFI using the OpenCore guide for laptops with the Broadwell generation of Intel CPUs. I am trying to install macOS Catalina, with OpenCore 0.87.

I've attached the EFI
