Hi there,
Till 10.15.3 i have updated without any difficult.
But, for 10.15.4, i got stuck at installation.
I have the kext, and other required files as per attachment.
I have updated Lilu, Whatevergreen, AppleALC and Clover to 5107.
I have put SSDT-EC.aml in \EFI\CLOVER\ACPI\patched
Also replaced FakeSMC with Virtual SMC. There is no third party kext in L/E.
I have downloaded 10.15.4 update file and installed in my hackintosh.
In the first restart, at Apple logo, the screen goes off but the system is live and after 10-15 min gone to sleep.
This I came to know by pressing numlock and capslock in my keyboard.
Then I restarted my system, in clover, the installation disk is still visible, and if choose my default OSX disk for boot, the display goes off at user login screen.
I tried -disablefgxfirmware and / or agdpmod=pikera but in vain.
Someone please guide me.

no need for SMCBatteryManager.kext for a desktop system

Looking at the folder structure in your Clover folder, it doesn't look as though it has be updated to Clover 51xx. It should have a folder drivers, with a UEFI subfolder;

What's more I see no apfs driver, only the support file o_O Is it no longer needed in 10.15.4?

Mind you, those look like Windows screengrabs? That could mess things up if using a cross-driver.

i think you can use either

also the clover version is too old for Catalina to work
 
Thanks everyone for your precious time.

I have installed the latest clover v 1508 by replacing old EFI folder using explorer++ from windows 10. Now the system is booting without any problem.

Now the problems are:
  1. The install disk (i tried to install 10.15.4 standalone update) is still shows in the clover boot selection window along with regular boot disk.
  2. My UHD graphics stopped working, although it is configured in configure.plist.

My old EFI as in post 1# was giving working UHD in Catalina 10.15.3. But, the new EFI file (clover v.1508) with old configure.plist doesn't give the UHD.

The new EFI is attached here.

Please guide me to resolve the two issues.
Thanks.
