Can't get graphics to work Kaby Lake 620 with WhateverGreen

Agreed, thanks. But that still doesn't solve the graphics in Mojave sadly.

I tried the config from the laptop guide (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/blob/master/config_HD615_620_630_640_650.plist). I did this prior to posting this thread and tried again on the recommendation of @mpckid after. That config doesn't work for me, I always get stuck at exactly the same point, which is gioScreenLockState 3.

To recap, I tried:

1. Config from the guide (https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/blob/master/config_HD615_620_630_640_650.plist) - Freezes at gioScreenLockState
2. Basic Config from UniBeast using MacBook SMBIOS, updated with WhateverGreen guide at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-intel-framebuffer-patching-using-whatevergreen.256490/ and ig-platform-id 0x59160000 - Freezes at gioScreenLockState. I tried adding boot flags -disablegfxfirmware -cdfon and -disablegfxfirmware, all make no difference.
3. 2 Different configs provided by @mpckid in this thread. Those actually don't freeze but cause panics. The main difference being that those configs are using ig-platform-id 0x19160000, which seems to cause the panic.

If there is any other alternative to try, I will use the tool to upload problem reporting files, but I've got a feeling that this device just won't work with Mojave full stop. It'd be interesting to hear from someone with a Lenovo Miix 720 that has actually gotten graphics to work in Mojave, I discovered a thread by @Promise (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/having-trouble-getting-my-hd620-working.262860/#post-1832536) where he seemed to have struggled with the same issue. Don't think it ever got resolved....

Oh and forgot 1 other thing I tried in the recap:

4. Used Hackintool to generate Devices/Properties. Also got stuck at gioScreenLockState 3.

 

[deeperexistence]

OK, I reinstalled from scratch, only installed Lilu and WhateverGreen and used the config from the laptop guide. Now I get a panic. Problem reporting attached. Can anyone help?

FakeSMC kext missing from /L/E (also verbose image of panic)

 

[deeperexistence]

Installed FakeSMC to L/E. Realised the config I used was labelled the same as the laptop guide but was different. Redownloaded from GitHub and now stuck at gioScreenLockState again, no panic. Tried both Spoof and non-spoof versions of config_HD615_620_630_640_650.

maybe have look at:

Various patches necessary for certain ATI/AMD/Intel/Nvidia GPUs - acidanthera/WhateverGreen

[deeperexistence]

Done. Quite similar to https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-intel-framebuffer-patching-using-whatevergreen.256490/ which I did initially, but just in case went through the GitHub specific tutorial and adapted the laptop guide config according to instructions. Hangs at the same place.

 

[mpckid]

Take this configuration againhttps://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/blob/master/config_HD615_620_630_640_650.plist

Try with boot arg lilucpu=7 instead of 9 and Inject Intel as true.
Set Inject ATI and Nvidia as false.

This should at least allow you to enter the OS to run Hackintool and/or make configuration changes as needed.

Read the guide on how to use Hackintool for graphics.
Take a look at what hot patches you're applying on Clover and see if they are valid.
I think you will need a few of them if not all. I'd try one by one and see.
You can adjust your config.plist on the fly during the boot loader Clover options.
Go to the corresponding menus to enable/disable SSDT hot patches on the fly.

Try this hot patch, I had to spoof my Kaby Lake HD620 to Skylake (that's why I have the 0x19160000)

You'll need to compile that into an AML using MaciASL (RehabMan's version) and place into Clover/ACPI/patched folder.

Keep on going you're almost at the end of this nightmare.
