Ok here it is in the problematic state.

You may need to patch EDID product Id as per post 1.

If I did that correctly it still does not work this way. Since it works without the kext, is there any potential issue with not using it?

You cannot use Graphics/EDID with Devices/Properties. (EDID setting ignored). Must inject with Properties.

ProductID is not a valid option under Graphics/Inject.

So I just figured it out like this.. is it correct?

Hello, this is my first post and my first hackintosh on laptop. I update Mojave from Mojave beta and after I do this I cannot do brightness to work. Slider work. I follow this guide and read posts but still with no results. I did everything by my self but on this one thing I give up after a week. Can someone check my debug zip for help? Thanks

I followed the guide but after rebuilding the cache I cannot boot anymore, starts loading then I get the Ø symbol. I can boot from Recovery HD. To provide a bit of context I have my hackintosh perfectly working on macos 10.12.4 then I updated the bios and since then when I try to adjust the brightness the computer freezes, so I thought to upgrade to 10.12.6 to have original macos support for my kabylake cpu and maybe fixing the problem, I also removed FAKEPCIID.kext (it shouldn't be useful anymore right?) but I still get freeze if I try to adjust the brightness and no brightness bar appears under settings. I attach the problem reporting zip.

all kexts you need should be installed to /Library/Extensions you are missing FakeSMC.kext from there

Thanks for the advice, I added the FakeSMC.kext and rebuilt the cache even though I wasn't using it on 10.12.4 and had no troubles.
Now on boot instead of the Ø symbol I get a black screen when the loading bar is at almost 3/4.
