Hi,
I've managed to install 10.13.6 onto 17 R5. Only problem is : I couldn't be able to get the UHD630 working on the laptop. Please help.
Pretty much everything works except brightness control and integrated Intel graphic.
I've attached my Clover folder here so you guys can help me out. Thank you very much for your time!

My specs :
CPU: i7 8th gen Coffee Lake
RAM : 16 Gb
SSD: 1x256Gb Toshiba NVMe + 1x256Gb Western Digital Black NVMe + 1Tb HDD
VGA : 6Gb GTX1060 + Intel UHD 630
Wifi+ Bluetooth : Dell DW1560 + Atheros Killer 2500 Giga LAN

As per rules, please update your hardware profile to allow others to help you easier

please read the faq for proper hardware profile setup:

How and where to install kexts:

and grab a laptop config.plist from the guide:
 
Thank you! Profile has been updated.
 
Anyone please ?
 
you have the guide links, whats up?
The problem is I still have my UHD630 un-usable. Also backlight is not working. Trying to find a good instrucrtion for backlight patching but non available for Coffee Lake. Am i doing it right by choosing iMac 18,1 for SMBIOS ? should I switch to Macbook pro 15,1 for dual GPU ?

iMac is a desktop SMBIOS, best to use a laptop SMBIOS

laptop guide has config.plist for your intel 630
 
Booting with the settings in clover below give me igpu kext not load and i've taken the screenshots. SMBIOS changed to MBP15,1
