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

[RehabMan]

Hi RehabMan, thx for the guide. I use this to upgrade MacOS Sierra from PBI-CE el capitan on my elitebook 8570p hires, all works. Just a minor problem with the brightness control keyboard shortcut, both button increase the brightness. Dunno if it's the patch or VoodooPS2Controller and I didn't find info about this in first post, will post "problem reporting" on my day off, also for the DP.

for 10.12, you need to send F14/F15 for brightness keys instead of actual brightness ADB codes.
Various ways to do it...
This guide is currently for 10.11...

I confirm that HP Probook 450 G3 work with El capitan 10.11.6 (step by step with RehabMan's guide)

My laptop specs:
CPU: Intel i5-6200u
VGA: HD 520 (don't have extend vga card)
RAM: 2 x 8GB DDR4 2133
Wifi: bcm94352z_ae with bluetooth 4.0 (M.2 NGFF card)
SDD: 120Gb Samsung 850 EVO (M.2) and 128Gb Micron (SATA)

Problem:
- iMessage still not working but facetime is ok.
- Card reader not working
- Do not fully detect Conexant audio card but still can play music, control volume with hotkey.
- Cannot sleep (only screen go to turn off)
- Finder sometime hang out (the machine must be restart, no other way)
- Cannot shutdown if have any USB devices pluged (must be remove all usb devices before shutdown)

Everything else is went fine and i'm using my hackintosh to post this reply.

I'm trying to fix iMessage. I don't need to use card reader. I don't need sleep too but cannot shutdown is big problem. Are you have any suggestion for me, Rehabman?

I've tried to follow your guide and nothing worked. Adding FakeSMC.kext and the other kext files helped me a bit but now I get a black screen. Not stuck on a particular error. Just a black screen.

I use Elitebook 9470m.

Read that people followed the old El Capitan guide for installing Sierra I could go that path.

Boot verbose, show photo. Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).

bcm95432 is not valid.
bcm95432z is not valid.

Your laptop is likely NGFF/M.2 (2230). Read post #1.

Your config.plist is not from my guide.

Hi Rehabman
I think my laptop "HP Zbook 14 G1" is similar to the ones listed as supported, but needs only small tweaks. I think it' similiar to the 8x0_G1 series and 4x0_G1 series. I'm curretly using the specified plist and dsdt files for 8x0_G1, and my trackpad and soundcard doesn't work.

Here are my system details:
System: HP Zbook 14 G1 + Clover(UEFI)
CPU: i5-4300U / Haswell-ULT
Graphics: HD4400 + AMD FirePro M4100, 1600x900
RAM: 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600
Audio: IDT 92HD91
Wlan & Bluetooth : BCM43225HBM

The files you required in the "unsupproted devices" section are here:
