Please post full system's specs and attach Clover folder you're currently using. Boot with verbose + debug 0x100 mode to determine the boot issue. Post screenshot if applicable for a clearer picture of the issue

I initially installed Mojave on an external USB3.0 HDD in order to avoid messing with the Win10 installation that's on the built-in M.2 SATA SSD. Given that the Latitude 7490 can boot from microSD card (needs Legacy boot enabled in BIOS), I installed Clover and the 7490 pack on an old 2GB microSD card I had lying around. Card was initially reformatted FAT32. I now use it to boot Mojave from a freshly created partition on the SSD without having had to mess around with the Win10 Boot (EFI) partition. It works great.

Last update: 17 Jun 2020 Target macOS release: Mojave 10.14.x This is a Clover-based installation using the well-known/well documented vanilla method detailed below: Working: full graphics acceleration on Intel UHD620 iGPU, including brightness control (with Lilu v1.3.5 + WEG v1.2.7) multi-display with HDMI OOB, including HDMI-to-DVI adaptation (HDMI-to-VGA not successful) and VGA/DP over USB Type-C audio, including HDMI, microphone input and headset output (with AppleALC v1.3.6 & layout 11 + CodecCommander v2.7.1) GigEthernet LAN connection (with IntelMausiEthernet 2.4.0 kext) wireless and bluetooth with any compatible card (a DW1820A in my case) left and right USB ports (with Hackintool-generated USBPorts), including USB Type-C integrated webcam (OOB) CPU power management sleep (Lid, Energy Saver settings, Apple menu, Fn-Insert, PWR button) & wake (Lid, PWR button) battery management (with ACPIBatteryManager v1.90.1) keyboard (with VoodooPS2Controller v1.9.2) touchpad (with VoodooI2C v2.1.4 + VoodooI2CHID v1.0), including tap-to-click (mandatory in PrefPane settings), scroll & zoom, rotate or other multi-finger gestures.

Once completed: install Clover bootloader on the USB installer with the following customised settings: Clover for UEFI booting only Install Clover in the ESP UEFI Drivers AudioDxe-64 DataHubDxe-64 FSInject-64 SMCHelper-64 ApfsDriverLoader-64 AppleImageLoader-64 AptioMemoryFix-64 Fat-64 HFSPlus NvmExpressDxe-64 PartitionDxe-64 Ps2MouseDxe-64 UsbKbDxe-64 UsbMouseDxe-64 Themes (optional) Install Clover Preference Pane (optional) you may use version r4919 attached below: Clover_v2.4k_r4919.pkg.zip once Clover is installed, launch Clover Configurator app and mount the freshly created EFI partition of the USB installer Clover_Configurator.zip open this EFI partition and transfer/copy the files & folders from the Latitude 7490 Mojave Clover pack below to the EFI/Clover folder: Clover_Pack_7490.zip Clover_Pack_7490_#2.zip Clover_Pack_7490_#3.zip Clover_Pack_7490_#4.zip Clover_Pack_7490_#5.zip Clover_Pack_7490_#6.zip Clover_Pack_7490_#7.zip Clover_Pack_7490_#8.zip 7490_Mojave_Clover_Pack_#9.zip 2) 10.14 installation boot the Mojave USB installer at the Clover main menu, select the "Install macOS Mojave" partition (but don't press [ENTER]) press [SPACE], select -v verbose option in the menu, then choose to boot with the selected options proceed with installation, creating & formatting the target Mojave installation through Disk Utility as/if required on 1st reboot, boot off the USB installer and select the freshly created "macOS install from <target Mojave partition>" repeat this until this partition is no longer offered and only the target Mojave partition is left to boot Reboot the target Mojave partition via your USB installer 3) Post-installation tuning Once the target Mojave partition has booted, complete the 1st boot configuration tuning Once at the desktop, install Clover bootloader on the Mojave partition/disk with the customised settings listed above Once Clover is installed, launch Clover Configurator app and mount the freshly created EFI partition of the Mojave partition/disk Open this EFI partition and transfer the files & folders from the above Latitude 7490 Mojave Clover pack to the EFI/Clover folder You may then reboot and verify that Mojave boots off your disk through Clover Edit: 16 Apr 2019 - - - - - - - - - - - - Tuned-up Clover pack #2: removed unnecessary SSDTs removed unnecessary patches removed unnecessary settings added NoTouchID kext to fix authentication lag when making changes to /LE and/or /S/L/E replaced I2C kexts to fix TouchPad laggy/jumpy movement Edit: 31 Jul 2019: - - - - - - - - - - - - Revised Clover pack #4: patched DSDT added to inject support for Fn-F11/Fn-F12 brightness keys. Edit: 09 Aug 2019: - - - - - - - - - - - - - Revised Clover pack #5: fixed mistake in patched DSDT affecting _PWR resources which killed Sleep when laptop running on mains. Edit: 15 aug 2019: - - - - - - - - - - - - - Revised Clover pack #6: Adjusted Clover config to add "DellSMBIOSPatch" in order to avoid truncated Mac model name in "About This Mac". Edit: 08 Sep 2019: - - - - - - - - - - - - - Revised Clover pack #7: Patched DSDT of pack #6 was causing system reset. Re-patched raw DSDT from BIOS 1.11.0 to inject support for Fn-F11/Fn-F12 brightness keys (no other patch) and all seems Ok. Edit: 05 Oct 2019: - - - - - - - - - - - - - Revised Clover pack #8: Injected HDMI connector type to iGPU FB@1 to recover from a picture issue (like yellow veil) with HDMI output + loss of HDMI audio, all due to default DP connector type on the framebuffer. This worked OOB initially (certainly did with my initial 10.14.4 build) but clearly not any more with subsequent Mojave versions, at least 10.14.6. Edit: 20 Apr 2020: - - - - - - - - - - - - - Added a note about Realtek RTS525a SD card reader. Edit: 17 Jun 2020: - - - - - - - - - - - - - Revised Clover pack #9: Moved patched DSDT out of ACPI/patched folder since it's causing KP for most people. It was only patched to support brightness control through Fn-F11/Fn-F12. Jake Lo has provided SSDT alternatives in other guides/threads so it's best to use that. I'll try them asap on the 7490 and update accordingly.
