Well, during my earlier searches on internet there is kind of problem about UHD620 graphic card configuration and i am stuck with my personal trials on different images High Sierra 10.13.6 and Mojave 10.14.2. I tried Rehabman Config plist Intel HD 620 (Smbios ID Macbook Pro 14,1) with success on both booting from USB stick and vram size at 1536mb but stuck at clover boot from installed harddrive. When I tried Config plist for UHD630 (Smbios ID Macbook Pro 15,2) then I can boot from USB stick but vram size at 7mb and again no success to boot from installed harddisk.

 

Can someone share me ready config plist with smbios ID for my configuration above?
