CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U w/ Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx
I finally get Sequoia working on my laptop, hope this thread can also help someone else with similar hardware. Here's my full specifications:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U
RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz (soldered)
SSD: 256GB NVMe Intel SSDPEKKF256G8L
iGPU: AMD Radeon Vega 8 (set to 2GB UMA Buffer)
WiFi: Intel Wireless AC 9260
Bluetooth: included with wifi card

Keyboard and trackpad works flawlessly, but fingerprint reader and touchscreen doesn't work.
Been daily driving it for a week and never ran into any crashes or kernel panics, hopefully it's stable enough.

I included my working efi build but make sure to fill your own SMBIOS before booting it up to install Sequoia.

After InstallAssistant phase of installation is finished, before rebooting run these commands in the recovery environment:
defaults write "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.coremedia" allowMetalTransferSession -bool NO
chmod 644 "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.coremedia.plist"
Then reboot should continue the installation process like normal.

Then to get wifi and bluetooth working, follow this guide as it works with my case, but not guaranteed to work for other wifi cards:

Thanks to other members for helping me building this efi build. Feel free to ask any question if you encounter any problems, cheers!1788508509003.png
