[Guide] ASUS TUF FX504GE - Mojave

[rrcn08]

None, but you need certain drivers and kexts in order for it to work. For more information, check out a thread which I started. (Can be found under my profile.)

HDMI will work if you override the edid. No audio on HDMI though.

could you give me any links for this issue ??

could you give me any links for this issue ??

You just inject 'AAPL0X,override-no-connect' where X is your port number on IGPU device using CLOVER with your EDID.

Clover Config

• Acpi: AutoMerge, DSDT Patches(_OSI to XOSI, HECI to IMEI,GFX0 to IGPU, HDAS to HDEF,no need to rename EHC* as Chipsets post Skylake removed USB2.0 native support), SSDT PluginType checked
• Boot Args: dart=0 -igfxnohdmi darkwake=0 -v -lilubetaall keepsyms=1 -wegbeta
• Kernel Patches: Kernel LAPIC, KernelPM and AppleRTC enabled
• SMBIOS: MacBookPro15,2
• SystemParameters: InjectKexts Detect, InjectSystemID YES.

DSDT Patch (only two static patches needed )

Sleep and wake
Use "USB _PRW 0x6D (instant wake)" patches for Skylake(and later). This patch will add Method(_PRW) { Return(Package() { 0x6D, 0 }) } to relevant Devices.
# There may be missing a "}" after applying the patch, which cause compile syntax error. Search for Method(_PRW) and find out the syntax error. If there is still wake problems (“wake reason” :XDCI CNVW XHC etc.), use Log Show to find the wake reason and search the specific Device (XDCI or CNVW) to see if Method(_PRW) is missing in the specific device.

Brightness adjustment keys
working by modifying /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml
Scope (_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0)
{
...
Method (_Q11, 0, NotSerialized) // _Qxx: EC Query
{
Notify (PS2K, 0x0405) // Brightness down
}
Method (_Q12, 0, NotSerialized) // _Qxx: EC Query
{
Notify (PS2K, 0x0406) // Brightness up
}
...
}

Hot Patches

• Disable NV GPU: SSDT-DDGPU
• Backlight Control: SSDT-PNLF/PNLFCFL

I got everything to work Brighteness ,sound but HDMI video or audio does not work, when I plug HDMI cable to my laptop ,Laptop screen goes dark and immediately turn to normal. But How do I get HDMI to work?

post 1 mentions hdmi not working

you look into the hackintool and patch frame buffers:

[Release] Hackintool v3.x.x

HACKINTOOL The Swiss army knife of vanilla Hackintoshing WARNING! Hackintool is not an automated patching tool that does all the work for you. Knowledge is required on how to patch before using it. Please read the Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen guide before you download this...

also best to read up on:
