Hello @alex7070,

Several comments:

• Please do not quote the entire Guide!
• Please add your CPU, GPU, and Motherboard to your Profile by clicking here. This is required when asking for help.
• Please post the config.plist from EFI partition of your Mojave SSD.
  • Mount the EFI partition by using "EFI Agent" or "EFI Mounter v3" or "Clover Configurator".
  • You will find config.plist in the EFI/CLOVER folder on the disk labeled "EFI".

Mount the EFI partition by using "EFI Agent" or "EFI Mounter v3" or "Clover Configurator".

Note that Hackintool has the same functionality as "EFI Agent" under the "Disks" tab.

I made a video to showcase the problem.

I did solve the USB-C kernel panic's by using a platform-ID of HD620 instead of HD630. More info here: ASUS N580VD - Display problems (Kernel panic on USB-C plug-in).

I also tried all different connector options for the built-in display without success. See the attachment for IOreg's.

@CaseySJ I'm still experiencing those issues from the video any idea what else I can try or whom else to contact?

Edit: I've contacted some other people with an ASUS N580VD laptop. All have the same problem, even those with different variants. ex. 4K display or i5 CPU...

Here's a link to the topic: ASUS N580VD - Black Built-in Display

Hello @headkaze,

It seems the predefined connector patches for various motherboard (i.e. System Configs) have been annihilated by some matter/anti-matter collisions.

Alex,

Please try the attached config.plist as follows:

• Mount EFI partition of Mojave SSD. You can do this from Hackintool as follows:
  
• Backup the current EFI/CLOVER/config.plist.
• Rename the attached file to config.plist and copy it to EFI/CLOVER folder.
• Reboot.
• Run Hackintool and check the Info page again.
• Also connect HDMI cable to motherboard and see if it works.

Hmm they are showing okay for me. Can you please run Hackintool from Terminal (run Hackintool.app/Contents/MacOS/Hackintool) and see if there is any error output. My guess is it's an error causing the initialization to fail.

Does that last line indicate a problem?

Does that last line indicate a problem?

Yes, definitely. It means there's an exception I haven't accounted for. Please try Hackintool v2.6.4.
