The general opinion is that Ventura is much more stable than Sonoma when using the NootedRed.kext. When Apple changes stuff in there code it can lead to all sorts of headaches for developers like ChefKiss who do this out of the kindness of their heart.
You need to disable or remove the WiFi & Bluetooth kexts and set SecureBootModel to ‘Disabled’ not ‘Default’ in your config.plist.
Run the Sonoma update.
Then revert the changes you made in your config.plist for the Sonoma 14.4.1 upgrade.
Make sure you use the latest Intel WiFi and Bluetooth...
My EFI is for an eight core APU, yours is six core. Take a look at this guide.

I’ve been looking through AMDs motherboard partner program, I can’t find the specific motherboard that GenMachine uses. But ASRock has quite a presence in this sector.
I’m pretty sure it’s cosmetic, it will help with showing the correct processor in the ‘About This Mac’ window. Great write up btw, these mini ryzens make awesome hacks, just a shame there isn’t much information out there about motherboards etc.
Sorry I got confused with my 5600H/U in my previous post. But upon checking I did learn about the differences between the ‘U’ and ‘H’ of the 5600, the H has a lower TDP, (better for the planet), and the U can be configured up to 54W.
Something that doesn't get mentioned much that's part of SMBIOS is PlatformInfo > Generic > ProcessorType. For a 6 core processor and less the value is 1537, and for an 8 core processor and more the value is 3841.
'Our Ryzen 5 5600H has 8 cores, so the new replace values should read "B80800...." or "BA0800....".'
I'm fairly certain that the Ryzen 5 5600U has six cores, and the above part should read "B80600...." or "BA0600....".'

Following @Edhawk advice for setting up the EFI before updating macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, I successfully updated from Ventura 13.6.5. My first attempt at 14.4.1 ended in me bricking the GenMachine, so I started from a clean Ventura install. I think there's been real progress with NootedRed recently...
I’ve always stuck with the default Sonoma desktop wallpaper and screensaver, I’ve had the grey screen in past, so stuck with the default. The dynamic wallpaper works better if it the same as the dark top image, I found anyway.
Hi. The battery window shows up in my System Settings too. The only related setting in BIOS I could find was to do with the power adapter, not sure if it helps though. It doesn’t seem to effect sleep or wake, both work normally.
@shoto Hi. These are the BIOS settings I used for my A320I-K, I have a guide on TMX86 linked below.
