The config.plist file from the allfiles.zip attached to the first post fails to boot on Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.x, leading to a black screen after some time showing the apple loading gauge. Using the one from the installer, I was able to boot, but then I lost many functionalities, like audio, hibernating, Bluetooth and others. My old config.plist (which is basically the one from the allfiles.zip plus my modifications), which worked fine under 10.12.x is attached along with the last screen I see booting on verbose mode, before the screen goes all black. Please, help!

Hello, Rehabman. Thanks for your endless patience.
Attached are the files I could generate with the script. But please, notice these files were generated with the config.plist file that works (the one that does not have most of the patches I had on the config.plist attached two posts above, since I can't boot with that one).

Thanks a lot.

Ok. Read it again. Since I can't boot, the Clover files are here, as well as the print from the verbose mode.
Thanks once again.

Graphics related problem. Try with invalid ig-platform-id (then other valid ig-platform-id values).
Keep in mind your ig-platform-id is injected in config.plist/Devices/Arbitrary section.

Your profile lacks details on screen resolution. Please fix as per FAQ:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

Also, your backlight configuration is wrong. See guide:

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if something changed graphicwise from 10.12.3 to 10.13.2? I mean, I had no problems whatsoever booting that same config.plist on 10.12.3 and had all functions from my graphics card properly working.

Thanks!

All graphics kexts are in a constant state of change though each version/update.
Major changes to brightness control in 10.12.4 and later.

Could the brightness be the main problem of the OS not booting? The reason why I'm asking is because the ig-platform-id is the same from the config.plist that works.

Thanks!
