HP 250 G6 Mojave 10.14 - Various Issues Post Install

[Fillwox]

Hey all!

So I've installed Mojave onto my HP 250 G6. It's great, runs very well but there are a few issues still lingering and I was hoping if anyone could shed some light onto them! Here are my issues -

- No output from HDMI or VGA port
- Sleep mode, just freezes the screen then on resume jumps to lock screen
- No backlight control, the inbuilt monitor is showing up as an external one?
- Graphics is showing as 7MB? Is that correct/fully accelerated?
- As a purely superficial thing the Mojave Dynamic Background isn't being dynamic, its night time all the time... Might be a clue related to something else?

I've had experience with custom build PC Hacks before but never laptops... I've uploaded my EFI Partition minus the Themes folder. Thank you!

then boot verbose so you can see what the issue is

The error it gets stuck on is -

ACM: deleteCredentialSet: Deleting credential set, CS[102]

Although wouldn't it have completed that step and be stuck on the next, and I can't tell what that is?

take a pic of the verbose screen to upload here along with your zipped clover folder

Here are the steps it hangs on and eventually fails on, as well as my EFI folder... I might just revert back to what I had and sacrifice those issues in post #1, solving these things is very draining...

Thanks for this, unfortunately I'm still hanging on the step in the picture attached. I've also uploaded my updated EFI. The build signature doesn't list this processor!

The laptop has an i5-7200U, which is Kaby Lake. HD620 Graphics.

as mentioned, only your zipped clover folder is required, not the entire EFI

too many files in drivers64UEFI folder

way too many un needed kexts in clover/kexts/other
.dSYM and .app and .dsl files don't belong in there either

remove:
BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext
FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext
all the sensor kexts
GenericUSBXHCI.kext
IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext
IntelGraphicsFixup.kext
Shiki.kext

make sure your other kexts are the latest ones

use a new config.plist from the laptop guide
