I don't mean to hijack this thread but I'm also facing the same situation. I don't see IMEI in IOReg. Is there some settings in BIOS that needs to be enabled? Or does it require an SSDT to add the IMEI device?

Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

HECI device is found to be disabled.

Is the board new?
If so, return it.

If not, maybe the previous owner tampered/disabled the IMEI. There are some paranoid people that do that.
You could always try reflashing current BIOS.
Or start googling on how people generally disable the IMEI, and perhaps you'll stumble on a way to restore it.

Yeah I noticed when I was searching, everybody else seems to want to turn theirs off lol. I got the board from amazon in 2015, new. I even tried the F9b bios but on F8 now

I wonder if problem was caused by BIOS downgrade.

Been struggling to get the GPU working with correct settings since around june with no luck. It had F5 on it back then, a bios upgrade was one of them things I tried to see if it would help but it never changed anything.

Without an IMEI, the IGPU will not work on macOS.
That is the problem you must solve first.

Try this config.

Thanks for your sharing.
That config works for my HD 4600.
