[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch (10.11)

[RehabMan]

Changed still crashing

You didn't make the change as suggested in post #5596.

Note code from SSDT-IGPU.aml in your ACPI/patched still has "hda-gfx":

            0x5916, 
            Zero, 
            Package (0x0A)
            {
                "model", 
                Buffer (0x16)
                {
                    "Intel HD Graphics 620"
                }, 

                "device-id", 
                Buffer (0x04)
                {
                     0x1B, 0x19, 0x00, 0x00                        
                }, 

                "hda-gfx", 
                Buffer (0x0A)
                {
                    "onboard-1"
                }, 

                "AAPL,ig-platform-id", 
                Buffer (0x04)
                {
                     0x00, 0x00, 0x1B, 0x19                        
                }, 

                "AAPL,GfxYTile", 
                Buffer (0x04)
                {
                     0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

Hi and thanks once again for this great guide and support RehabMan,

About the HD3000 graphic freezes i will try to install an extra 4GB of RAM (I ve read somewhere here that this is a possible solution), see if they are gone and provide feedback, so anyone else with a 4730s at least know if it indeed solves the problem.

BUT, until then i had another quenstion... To my understanding so far, clover is really versatile and if is set properly it can be bullet proof between updates of patch versions (e.g. 10.11.6 -> 10.11.7) and even between minor versions (e.g. 10.11.x -> 10.12.x)... Under the assumption that the installed kexts are gonna be compatible with the update target version (i know it is a big IF but lets assume it) and in company with the magnificent work you ve done to the acpi tables wouldn't make sense to put all these kexts to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other so indeed they are preserved between the updates?! Are they still preserved now that they are install in /System/Extensions?! I know that this is maybe off-topic and i am really sorry for that, i just wanna make sure that understand correctly the purpose of CLOVER/kexts directory

Cheers

Now I am trying with this Option ROM setting: All UEFI
The following settings are possible:
 All Legacy
 All UEFI
 All UEFI Except Video

The second phase of installer is progressing now, not sure if that is the fix or not yet.

This id the combination that worked for me:

Option ROM setting: All UEFI
Secure Boot Options: Legacy Support Enable and Secure Boot Disable

I installed ubuntu into the remaining free space that I had osx installed on and now the grub bootloader is showing up without an entry for osx and if I try to boot the usb drive I used to install OSX with and pick the macOS sierra entry the boot fails. I am not sure what to do at this point to get the Clover boot loader re-installed so that I can boot OSX from HD, don't really want to reinstall from scratch.

                }
            },

Meaning" hda-gfx" shouldn't be in SSDT-IGPU. aml? If that's the case i don't know what am doing wrong coz it's not disappearing

I was able to pick "Boot from file" and navigate to the clover folder.

I was able to pick "Boot from file" and navigate to the clover folder.

I re-installed CLOVER but the default boot is still grub2 from the EFI folder I guess. I assume the "bootloader" that is used in EFI booting is configurable somehow, but I cant find any docs on how to restore it back to defaults.

Hi Rehabman, I am requesting some help with getting my Displayport working. It seems to connect to the monitor but there is no image on the external monitor. I can gather windows and see the settings for the external monitor but changing them does nothing to help. I have hopefully included the needed files to diagnose. Please advise. Thank you.

I don't think this is using the repo SSDT-IGPU. Use the one from the repo, but with the "hda-gfx" commented out.

If HDMI video works with that single change, then we know it is an HDMI audio problem causing the crash and can continue to pursue it. But the SSDT-IGPU.aml you have in ACPI/patched is not the same as what I propose here, so I want to verify this single (two character) change first.

Have you compiled one? Been trying haven't succeeded
