About Intel UHD 620

This laptop based on Intel I7-8550u (Kaby Lake Refresh). Its NOT KABY LAKE Its also has Intel UHD 620 NOT HD 620 So to get working video card you need to add FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext Also main part its injecting Intel. Just add to FakeID: 0x59168086 and to platform-id: 0x59160009, NOT 0x59160000

About Audio

Just add VoodooHDA.kext, CodecComander.kext and install in the system VoodooHDA_2.9.2.pkg

About wi-fi

If you dont have opportunity to buy new Broadcom wifi card or module you can use Android USB Tethering. MacOS must support it natively but sometimes you need custom driver so you can just install HoRNDIS-9.2.pkg and use your smartphone as wi-fi module.

Note

Version of Clover is 4xxx. If you want to upgrade just create EFI with new version of Clover and replace her kext folder, driver folder and config.plist with my.
