Surface Book 2 15" Mojave on external HDD Guide

[obie295]

That was maybe not the best move cuz my surface panic at third boot when it's suppose to boot in to desktop. Is there any guide where i can find knowledge how to troubleshoot or advance in my tryings? Feels like I'm missing something even when i follow guides. Or how to understand the log spitting out info before kernel panic?

Attaching panic screen and my Clover file structure and is hoping someone can yell at me for doing wrong or point me in the right direction.

get rid of VoodooHDA kext

dsym files don't belong in there either, nor does New Folder

Mojave 10.14.6 is now installed and booting without USB. Now I need to figure out how to fix GFX, sound and wifi. I'm still a bit noob when it comes to patches and config.plist as i guess could be the thing to reach my goal?

[obie295]

GFX: Intel UHD Graphics 620. Want to be able to scale down resolution.
Wifi: Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC
Sound: Realtek High Definition Audio(SST)

Do you need to know what clover version and what kext and driver files i have on my USB?

It's a Microsoft Surface Book 2 and there is no chance to change hardware. The originator of this thread stated he had working sound for example. So I'm trying to figure out what information i need to read and gain some more knowledge about the process.

EFI.zip is attached. Thank you!

And the EFI folder from above zip is copied from Boot USB to EFI partition in MacOS.

Thank you very much. I'm done with that. So next thing is to add these changes to EFI disk in MacOS? Clean and replace all or just add the changed files?
