BT requires additional steps. Did you follow the guide?

Whateverred is depreciated. NootedRed is what you need to use.

--> my laptop keyboard not working but touchpad working even after adding VOODOO
Keyboard is not working or the Touchpad?

--> no sound audio at all
Did you follow guide to implement the audio?

Set from Windows and then use it on Mac.

WhateverGreen should not be used with NootedRed.
 
@ZeroTwo You can use a single thread and wait for the response. You don't have to create separate threads simultaneously.

1. I tried everything in bluetooth even having all Intel Bluetooth firmwares also but whenever I turn on the bluetooth it does not show any pair device and within few seconds it automatically turns off

2. I noticed whenever I enable NootedRed.kext and reboot the laptop it gets stuck on the apple logo with a half progress bar completed everytime

3. my touchpad is properly working but not the keyboard I am using external keyboard for this

4.no I used apple ALCU.kext for this

5.ok I will setup rgb in windows

6.i deleted the whateverRed and use nootedred only but doesn't work at all instead it stuck it into the apple logo or boot screen and its really getting annoying I wasted my whole day fixing these issues but nothing working at all

please help me tell me something I can do to use Hackintosh in peace I am attaching my EFI link via drive as I cannot upload big size file here

MY EFI here

please tell me all the issues in the efi and what to be fixed in order to use my Hackintosh in peace even if I update it to sequoia

Attach EFI. What's the VRAM in your BIOS?

3. my touchpad is properly working but not the keyboard I am using external keyboard for this
Are you using VoodooPS2 kext?

4.no I used apple ALCU.kext for this
ALCU is for USB based Audio onboard audio. What's your Audio Codec?

6.i deleted the whateverRed and use nootedred only but doesn't work at all instead it stuck it into the apple logo or boot screen and its really getting annoying I wasted my whole day fixing these issues but nothing working at all
Screen model might be an issue or may require EDID patching. What's the VRAM in BIOS?

Zip and then attach the EFI. Also, what macOS version you have currently installed?

I am unable to attach EFI file here as I said its saying file size exceed its 66mb big due to which I am unable to send the efi to you that is why I attached drive link here

whenever I logged into my bios I see risen 9 5900hx with radeon Vega 8 graphics which is 512 mb VRAM inbuilt iGPU

I am using voodooPS2 kext which enables using of touchpad but not keyboard so I am using external keyboard to use the hackintosh
moreover I just sent you the whole thing with screenshot attached which shows all kext I am using

I am using macOS Sonoma 14.7.1
and the display is my own laptop 300hz display which this Hackintosh consider as unknown display you can tell me about EDID patching what it does and how can I fix this

As you can see from the picture of my laptop due to nootedred its stuck on the apple logo with progress bar stuck and i am also unable to update the hackintosh to sequoia also as it just shows apple logo only and stuck

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE SCREENSHOT I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD MY EFI IN YOUR SITE SO I UPLOADED IT ON DRIVE, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT AND CHECK MY EFI FILE

The dGPU (NVIDIA) is not disabled properly. You can only verify the VRAM either via BIOS or via Windows/Linux. How did you verify that it has 512MB VRAM?

I am using voodooPS2 kext which enables using of touchpad but not keyboard so I am using external keyboard to use the hackintosh
moreover I just sent you the whole thing with screenshot attached which shows all kext I am using

IOReg is not attached.

It will be unknown until the Graphics acceleration is fixed. Are you using the latest NootedRed.kext?
