So TP/KB work both good in boot menu, but in macOS TP doesn't work?
In such case, the problem is TP cable, or TP itself.
If both TP/KB not working in macOS, then you may have a problem with TPAD_SPI lines; check corresponding series resistors.

KB work just for 5 sec(PARM work,enter boot menu work but not working it the boot menu an of course no in iOS !)
With 821-00184 cable- TP not working, not in boot menu and not on iOS.

I have just this 2 cables for checking 🤷🏻
what lines can cause that maybe I can make jumper on the cable..

Be aware of new chinese cables.
I needed to test 3 one time, until found a good one.

Just in case, test known good trackpad board.
